HexagonKeySet: Seems you've now gone so far downhill that you can't differentiate male and female ...
....I wrote my profile out , with great care.......the only bit i missed out,,,,,,was........how wonderful the people living in New Zealand were.......sorryyyyyyy.
HexagonKeySet: I'm sure that was deliberate irony there - to suggest having pics when you currently have none yourself ?
I can only those mock people who's profiles state "Must have a pic, fair's fair you have seen mine"
"Fair's fair" surely should mean that they got to choose what they do (display pics) but they don't consider it at all fair for the other people get to to choose (pic / no pic) for themselves ?
Looks around for a Hot Wooden Philosopher ...
I dont have a picture up as im not looking to date...my profile suggests same.
I only answered with an opinion i have, when i was at one time looking to date and had a pic and proper profile up.

HexagonKeySet: 1) To cast a wide net and try to seek universal approval so you get mountains of mail
2) To use it as a fine net through which to filter out (deter) the majority of unsuitable persons and that way you 'net' the one real beaut you were hoping for !
HexagonKeySet: What do you reckon ... does it look like I'm seeking universal approval ?
If you really wonder about my opinion:
You dedicated a whole chapter to scammers. Do you think they read profiles? Or, if they do, do you think it'd stop them?
You mention "smart woman" more than once. While I'm quite fond of anaphora myself, don't you think that a smart woman can do better than you don't you think that there's a couple of repetitions too many?
And you've missed a word in "Amos" line.
Besides that, quite original and, yes, universal :)
Not really, but I could you were itching to have a go ...

Again NO, but I;ve had a number of people reply postively and than me for drawing attention to the 'Belgian Bank Mindreading' video ...

I guess the only woman who'd be opposed to the use of 'smart' in those 'bullet points' would be one who was deeply lacking in smarts
And you've missed a word in "Amos" line.
No I recall the use of ' Amo' very clearly ... there is no Amos
Besides that, quite original and, yes, universal :)
Actually, it's served VERY well ... there's fewer women who self identify as smart and so the replies have been fewer in number but far more appropriate / better quality

Unless you're gonna tell me there's more ?
I feel like I have read a thousand profiles. And I think about the third time I had met someone from on line I discovered we obviously do not see ourselves as we really are. Profiles as a tool to introducing yourself to someone is really a great concept. Do they work? I have not seen proof I doubt I am not the only one who has noticed this so I can understand why one would not read profiles. I still do. Tho it has been ages since I have gone on a date last one kinda got me re evaluating my life. Not so much because of him. But because of me. I think my heart just gave up. What catagory would one put the angry profile writer in? the filtering out profile maybe? Or the troll profile? They are here just like us with their shiny little profiles. I would say mine filters
Mercedes_00: Why bother reading profiles I too could sell ice to an eskimo but I'm not desperate to do so.
The best profiles are those with a sense of humour.
I agree. I do feel that most really do want to be this person they are describing. Tho I am sure I also see myself with rose colored glasses I have been on line for a while and have had very few dates. And don't really see myself having many more. They would have to say something to really grab my attention. I have become comfortable in my life. Tho I love the company of a man. I like old fashioned men. They seem to be going the way of the unicorn. And then very few men like women like me. And I am ok with that

Technology has ruined honest dating.
Dating sites are a haven for those in relationships to cheat and it's us single people who have to put up with all the BS.
