How many profiles do you read that state they are genuine & honest?
As far as I’m concerned if a person is seriously genuine & honest would they need to advertise the fact?

Surely the proof is in the pudding!

hi ah... I know what you mean...

If you have to state it, you have to prove it..

Bit like a job application..

I am honest because I have a yearly police check.. please find enclosed a copy of my NPC.

I am genuine because I wear only the best in leathers... please see my enclosed picturesrolling on the floor laughing

I think this statement is gender specific... I find more mere males putting this on their profiles than sheilas do...

I dont know why... just an observation...grin

If you are looking for a kind and genuine person, those traits are probably important to you; you'd be proud to say that you were kind and genuine yourself; I certainly am. Sometimes it's healthy to be cynical, but when people say that they are kind honest and genuine in profiles I tend to believe them.

I don't think it would occur to most of the truly selfish and unkind on dating sites to lie about themselves - they're usually pretty self-satisfied. They're too busy talking about their athleticism or complaining about the lack of good looking people to choose from to even think to mention that they are genuine. I'm always intrigued by what people put in profiles, but even more intrigued by what they don't say.

A well earned lesson here is don't believe everything you read!

wave bouquet ... all though I don't trawl through men's profiles ( honestly !!! ) I do notice that many men state this but perhaps it is because so many women seem to request it on their profiles....laugh

If that is not the reason then I do wonder why they need to make a big point of highlighting the fact. Innocent until proven guilty...and all that. It's a bit like the mother declaring to the police that her obnoxious, tearaway, thieving brat of a child is really a very good boy deep down ...giggle

You shouldn't 100% believe anything you read up front lol.
Finally, you have to put something in your profile, even if they are well worn cliches. They are just a small starting point in getting to know someone.

genuine means being true to yourself and what you feel and what you are ,,, right? not faking anything.

you state it on the profile for the reader to get a bit of sneak peek into your personality. dunno
