do you trust someones profile? (64)
I trust some of the profiles....
The one's that I don't trust are the profiles that go waffling on and by the time you've got to the end of it you realise you are no wiser and learn't nothing at all about the type of person that they are nor are you any wiser as to what they are actually looking for on here.
My b******t alarm goes off very loudly when I see a profile like that

I rarely even bother looking at a profile.
Time has taught me that the majority of profiles tell you absolutely nothing about a persons character.
Reading their posts tells sooo much more.
The one thing that rags me out is when someone say's,,"he must be honest".
Then I run.
Not because I am dishonest,,but the expectation of total honesty,,real down to earth,,buck naked honesty is simply not possible in these days.
Also,,its a good ploy for them to expect total honesty ,,whilst leaving you with the impression that they are equally as honest.
often they are not and can pull yer tail all over the place.

as a general rule the folks I have met online then in person were right on.The biggest offence seems to be the photos do not reflect how they really look.

Have you asked that they say hello to you via web cam?
That is what I do before I meet anyone.
I say hello and ask that they do the same. Manages expectations and proves the person is who they say they are.

A profile is an advertisement of sorts. Also it is the view of the writer and that does not necessaruly correspond with the views of the dating public.
On the other hand I dated a guy a few months back that actually told me everything I needed to know in his profile I just didn't see it. I only saw his attractive points. After getting to know him I broke up with him for traits that were clearly stated in his profile to begin with.

I must be naive then. I do tend to trust and believe.. oh not unconditionally, but the benefit of the doubt sort.
I have been burned, but I find if I am honest, then the person I am connecting with is too.
If someones profile looks too good or werid to be true, then it probably is. I tend to look for a simple heartfelt profile and not a flashy one.
Pictures are important too. If someone does not put one here, but offers to send me a pic privately, then I feel more comfortable with them.
Just my thoughts..

A tip...better looking they are,,the worse it gets.
Often the dis-honesty is mixed with agenda..they think tooo much.
They kill it off by overthinking everything and then assuming from limited experience.
Thats why you see many whining they get hurt.

So what you are saying is that you really are 122 years old?
Sadly, I'm a bit less trusting than I used to be. Then again, been around long enough to know plenty of nice (and real) folks here

Trust is earn not by reading words, communicating tells it all
I beleive the younger people, do have a challenge on their hands so many do not take it seriously and it is just a joke for some, a pass time as they say "games"
As for me (not being the young generation ) the challenge is not so stressful, or maybe my radar is in tune

I think I actually do trust most profiles.....Some of them I trust to be the fakes and scammers that they display in their words. I have been fooled at times, but it seems that I'm getting better at handling the realization.
As I continue on in this cyberworld, my Discovery skills improve. I always read profiles. I always read Blogs and Forums. I am a great believer that what people say, how they say it, and how they react to what others say, will, sometimes, tell me MUCH more than a profile.
I have only met men with whom I am comfortable before setting a meet and greet date. So far, they have been pretty much as I thought they would be, except that a couple of them were at least 100 lbs. bigger than their pics. I did not appreciate that.
In an ongoing effort to ...not blame the next guy for what the last guy did,...... I prefer to continue believing and trusting until it's proven to me that I'm wrong. I'm getting better at it every day......seeing and believing it when I'm wrong, that is.
Just my thoughts,

I used to post my salary, but was told by a few people to remove it as it could get some attention I didn't want. Otherwise what you see is what you get with me.
