well in my experience in both internet and real world dating...if they say they're NOT something they're usually trying to convince themselves more than you.
lrrh77: well in my experience in both internet and real world dating...if they say they're NOT something they're usually trying to convince themselves more than you.
I agree.
They are trying to convince both:
you and themselves.
The same with people who keeps repeating "Trust me".
Laura25: Why do you think people put the following info into their profiles /
"I'm NOT superior,
NOT condescending,
NOT deceiving,
NOT manipulative,
NOT abusive,
NOT a doofus,
NOT etc., etc., ... "
...in order to give an accurate description of themselves?
What gives, peoples?
Saying the above is sort of a contrary positive. Perhaps those writing what they are allegedly not, should also include an expiry date...like : "I am NOT a doofus" (expires Dec. 25, 2009)...that could clear up any lingering doubts; people can't live with doubts! They must know... now!
