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?

Unspilled beans tell their own story grin
...carefull it could be a can of worms....uh oh

cool wine
I wanted you to open up your canwow
Worms always find a way of crawling out, Viking wink
Freedom, my can is never opened publicly.
The letters T G are floating around and not sure whyconfused
Even to an unbeliever, the sentiment is understood.
Keep the worms safe and don't let them wriggle out of the cangrin

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
Freedom, worms have a mind of their own , and feel the need to fulfil their destiny.
Hi Imba hug

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.
If your not willing to open up your can of worm, them why write a blog and complain about others not opening theirsdunno
Freedom, at which point do I stop questioning, and start complaining?
Moll

We have to be careful because these platforms do exchange info .... without our concent.

Nuf said
Imba, but if, for example, we say we are obese. That is already common knowledge to all in real life. It is already public knowledge.

If we are missing a leg, or have a squinted eye, same.

All these things are already public knowledge in our real life.
...to be honest, I don`t see a profile here as more then a sign that tells there might be a person behind it...

profiles here are compleetly worthless...

maybe some people are "honest"...but how much do you get to know somone by a profile anyway....?

dunno

...if you want to know somone, you have to talk to / with them....

...and mails has been red by others here...not safe!

cool wine

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
Inback, Stop worrying and it's not a problem unless someone has something to hideprofessor
Viking, maybe I am one of the few that is attracted by profiles.
I see them as a mini-bio of somebody.
Their personalities come out in them if well-written.
Imba, obviously everybody has to take certain precautions to protect themselves in all areas of life.
LoL! some read the manual, others don`t.... laugh

...but good, then... maybe some guyes will "improove" their profiles after reading this....grin
Freedom, of whom are you asking said unanswered questions?
Viking, if I buy a new product for the house, I always read the manual before touching it wink
The question on my blog when you disappeared and this blog alsogrin
You'd better ask again, Freedom

If it is to me, rather than another person, I'm sure you'll find the answer on my profile grin
More riddles Mrolling on the floor laughing
Jaysus Freedom, do you really expect me to trawl through your blogs for a question you asked me, rather than you just asking it again, if the answer is not on my profile? laugh
It's not what your profile say's, but what you said earlierrolling on the floor laughing
Freedom, it's 1am.
You are the one talking riddles, and my poor head is too tired for you.
Either ask the question or give it up,
Which side do you play on or do you play both sidesgrin
Could be bothlaugh It make's no difference to me TBHdancing
laugh You are being very curious for something that doesn't bother you grin
My old male friend had a girlfriend and she played for both teams, so it does not surprise me if a woman plays for both teams, because the shock left me back then and not much would shock me these dayslaugh
Freedom, many people are enlightened enough to love the person, the real person, no matter what outer layer they happen to be wrapped in.
But I thought you only dated 6ft plus guys or are you talking about other people confused
I'm fairly honest in my profile, so I'm not expecting miracles. And I dont really care actually.
Pat, my flabby cankles will never see the inside of your boudoir moping
Pat, your generosity has rendered me speechless..
It all starts with profile honesty.
True Pat
But you should really state that stoking outweighs cankles in your profile.
