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?

In general it doesen't, I only make the exception for your sweet self. And only after due consideration.
Pat, i now find myself mot only physically, but mentally, drawn to you.

A considerate man is worth a good stoking.
And I have some building experience, so don't be surprised when I notice an irregularity with the skirting boards during lovemaking.
Hopefully you will be under the influence of an illegal stimulant, and your eyes may be a little too glazed over to use a spirit level.
It happens to me all the time at the building site, but fortunately near enough is good enough. Same as internet dating really.
Pat, i hope the 'near enough is good enough ' mantra isn't used for every part of your life

Otherwise there will be lots of unsatisfied women out there
I'd say a few sore women, more like it
Its fortunate that some things don't require a spirit level.
Just spirit level-sized
Nah, some require a trowel...
I thought you'd go for the exotic, like a nail gun or a paint roller. A slide hammer at the very least.
Me either, when work finishes I just focus on straightening up a bit.
errm...am I interrupting something here?laugh
Goid afternoon Crazylaugh

Not at all

Just whiling away some time with Pat in the toolshed
Sounds like you need a pump, squeegee and a sponge.
Don't forget nomore gaps and maybe an ezyout you never know!yay
Crazy, he seems to be a master tool worker.

No job too small.

But he may have issues with big jobs.
User, you sound like you know your way around a toolshed as well teddybear
but I prefer a man who can get the job done with bare handslaugh
Would a long fuse help Crazy?
Oh I'm ambidextrous aswell.
I have seen people that are not honest to themselves and they really don't see their info as dishonest because they believe it. dunno It will take a while to figure something like that out when you meet a person like that.

People deliberately being dishonest - they probably have problems even getting contacted if they are honest, but there won't be much chance of something happening when the person they met do realise that they were lied to.

Nothing lasting will com out of lying. But then that's what some people want.
Crazy, bare hands alone?

I prefer a good working tool myself grin
Usernametaken,

a fuse, what kind of fuse are we talking about here?wink
Hiya KN
Yes, if a person doesn't know themselves enough to be honest on their profile, then I guess it's not downright dishonesty.

But it isn't going to end well either way.
Molly,

bare hands and a good tool will be perfect...a nice sledgehammer perhaps?grin
Crazy,
Hopefully User's fuse is for dynamite, and there'll be a fireworks show dancing
Crazy, I was thinking more jackhammer grin
As long as User's fireworks won't get me messy all over, I'm totally OK with thatwink

now, where's that hottie?uh oh
Crazy, at least you have an outlet for your horniness mumbling
Crazy, building it up for the ultimate release is a good way to go wink
Molly,

that's what we are doing...it can be too much to hold sometimes!frustrated laugh
It's tough alright, Crazy.

But someone's got to do it grin
Oh he's doing a great job...always perfect...worth waiting forblushing
I agree with you about being honest about what type of relationship you want from the very beginning.

I don't care whether people are in relationships already and just looking for some extra-curricular activity, or are looking for marriage, as long as they are honest from the beginning.

I know some people would not agree with that, and would say that people already in relationships should not be here, but the simple fact is they are. And them being honest about it from the getgo is enough for me.

Same with people who want marriage and babies. I personally don't want it, so I am happy if somebody is honest from the beginning about their aspirations, so we don't waste each others time.
Honesty is the best policy. Be specific.
Always tell the truth kids and if your parents aren´t there look for the nearest policeman
BN, is your honest profile getting you many hits?
Molly, shopaholic nuns are a bit scarce on here but I´ll keep trying
I see what you mean.

I found that after a month or two most of the ladies I met in RL did not meet their profile described. Best way to learn someone is to live with them for a while. There are always extremes one does not mention, even me..laugh laugh wine
As long as you put "holding hands on the beach" as an interest, you should be right. Even if you're a quadruple amputee living in Nepal or Bhutan, still put it up or people will think you're abnormal.
Pat, are you saying I am abnormal?
