Depends on the context of the rest of the profile. Based solely on those phrases I think: wants to be with me and as many others as possible at the same time. Ya think maybe I've encountered some people who use these phrases before?

These are actually red flags to me. If you're open-minded, etc. that will come out in the tone of the rest of your profile. Using these words is like painting a red arrow on your profile highlighting these qualities, which, in effect denotes an A-type personality not in line with the actual claim.

When I see those things in a profile, it tells me the person is just trying to be like everyone else... their friend probably talked them into it.

druidess6308: Tater, good post. I agree with your very last part, because what they mean totally depends on the context. I have most of those in my profile, btw.



It still surprises me on c.s how critical people can be from profiles to weight roll eyes and we wonder how people kill or start wars

I usually get the same feeling when reading these types of "qualities" in a profile

barf

It's all crap because if a person is so open minded, easygoing, likes to explore new things, fun loving and open to most anything, then why are they single??

dunno

Just my opinion that's all. When I see a profile with all of these things listed, it's a red flag. Doesn't have to be for you.

These descriptions are so generic and ambiguous as to be almost meaningless - that is, they could mean almost anything, depending on one's perspective.

What I would conclude mainly from a profile which consisted primarily or solely of these kinds of phrases/words would be that the person does not perceive him or herself as having many distinguishing personality traits. "I'm a nice guy/gal who likes having fun and doing stuff." doh dunno laugh

I am like that.

I would just close the window down.

I want some interesting news, not the same over and over.

I am relieved those days are over.
