I dunno. Seems to me it'd be more productive to list what you are rather than what you aren't in a profile.

Hiya, Larry wave

Being yourself = being REAL = just fine thumbs up

It's when someone works so very hard to convince people that s/he is NOT-this-and-NOT-that, it's a very clear message, IMO.

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". violin

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!laugh
