Profile Honesty
How honest should we be on our profiles?Would it put people off, or would it simply attract the type we are really looking for, and who are looking for us?
Should physical disabilities/abnormalities be put out there?
What about mental issues, from mild depression to dipshit loco?
Some people have no problem with either mental or physical issues, some even are attracted to them.
Same with body size. Should we put our BMI (Body Mass Index) on our profile. Although not a perfect method of measurement, is it not better than 'average ' or 'curvy' which means different things to different people.
Again, lots of people like fat or skinny people, and it would save them time in guessing/searching.
If we are selfish; unfaithful; possessive; short-tempered; undependable; argumentative; lazy; only want casual sex, etc., is it not better to say it?
If you want a partner to support you financially, why not say it? Some people want others to be dependent on them. Match made in heaven.
How honest should we be? And how able would people be to accept that honesty?

Profile should be honest but one has to keep in mind that it is a public domain and there are some weirdos....might be harmful.
A brief honesty should a good foundation.
Peace
That is a good point.
I guess if it isn't already public knowledge in real life, don't make it public knowledge in cyber life.
We have to be careful because these platforms do exchange info .... without our concent.

If we are missing a leg, or have a squinted eye, same.
All these things are already public knowledge in our real life.
profiles here are compleetly worthless...
maybe some people are "honest"...but how much do you get to know somone by a profile anyway....?
...if you want to know somone, you have to talk to / with them....
...and mails has been red by others here...not safe!
You never know in both versions real/cyber who is gtabbing your info.
We do get careful in real life....cyber is more dangerous because of its manipulating capability.
It is very rare case if someone is disabled....why should have that on the brief profile.
At evel of interaction one will find out.
If I was missing any limb.....I wI'll tell the other person on earnest.
Dunno
I see them as a mini-bio of somebody.
Their personalities come out in them if well-written.
...but good, then... maybe some guyes will "improove" their profiles after reading this....
If it is to me, rather than another person, I'm sure you'll find the answer on my profile
You are the one talking riddles, and my poor head is too tired for you.
Either ask the question or give it up,
But you should really state that stoking outweighs cankles in your profile.
