Ever heard of truth in advertising? Dating profiles are advertising...also people sometimes don't know the full truth about themselves. There are those who try to hurt others with their version of "truth" - run far far away when someone tries to tell you your truth. It is hard enough to find their own...how audacious to think they know yours?
I remember a man I knew long ago who kept telling me with words how kind he was. But his actions were that of a very cruel man. The sad thing is he believed the opposite about himself, even when he was threatening to hit me over the head with a broken bottle when he was angry.
Sometimes when we are too trusting we set ourselves for hurt, so it is a good thing you don't trust until you feel you can. Generally I feel people that are honest are the most trustworthy. If someone is always truthful with you, and cares about your needs as well as theirs, then you can start to trust them. Start small, and if they are deserving, give them more of your trust. It's not impossible...you just can't trust now because you haven't found anyone trustworthy. I believe they are out there, but a minority, sad to say.
Visitor: Is your mother home? Child: No, she ain't. Visitor: How about your father? Child: He ain't home neither. Visitor: My goodness! Where's your grammar? Child: She's in the kitchen, making cookies.
You have probably never heard of it, but there is an old song by the Beatles called Eleanor Rigby that was a smash hit because it told the story of the loneliness of the human condition in the life of one woman, Eleanor Rigby.
Yes, what your class discussed is part of attraction. People may not realize it, but skin/scent play an important part. That's one reason why you can never know if you are totally in love with someone unless you meet in person - there is so much involved in chemistry.
This raises a question for me (regarding men and women being shallow). Are we shallow, or have we been sold a bill of goods by the movie industry and society that we need to feel electricity, bells and whistles when we look at someone? We all want to feel "in love"...but that is a lot harder to find than being able to just love someone for who they are.
Jasmine, there are many kinds of love. I am sure that you are wrong that no one cares for you. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you to meet many many people. You are sure to find love and come to know its real meaning.
"And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make". - The End, by the Beatles
It can be maddening, I know, but when you really look at yourself you see your own failings and stupidities...if we can have compassion on our own silliness surely we can have it for others.

Tony The first months after the breakup are the very worst. Especially when against all better judgement, you want them back!!! You will never get her completely out of your soul, but you will heal and become whole again. Do not spend this time sitting in corners thinking about her, or listening to songs that remind you of her, pictures, etc. Try to get out and see that each day really is new and you never know what it may offer you. Don't tell yourself lies (i.e. "I am nothing without her"). It isn't true and deepens your pain. Thoughts really can help alleviate or contribute to suffering, so don't dwell on thoughts that are wrong and pull you deeper into sadness.
Was the site a free site? They may have just been compiling demographics on their users, which is integral for businesses. It doesn't mean they were going to sell your private information (check their privacy policy) or do anything with the information but use it for general user profiling (a snapshot of user demographics).
An advanced degree is not always a measure of earning capacity or intelligence. It's part of the overall picture, but is not always a barometer of wealth.
