Mary3 Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Profiles to avoid : ( Online dating tips ) What some profiles might *really* be saying... *No cheaters , liars or whores * = I have been cheated on ALOT , I have been lied to and I hope you are not a whore. ( Avoid these like the Plague.. ) * I am from Nigeria and find your lovely face capturing my heart. ~ Yes I will move to be with you my dear -7,000 miles.~ I know our God will show us the love . ~Please let me meet you dear *~ = Another Nigerian scam of you about to be relieved of some money $$$$ or marriage scam. * I am a little pudgy but I have a sweet personality * = She may not be a size 4. Pictures that look like they were taken in 1973. ( they probrobly were ) Pictures that are very dark and mysterious ( they might be hiding something ) No Picture ( they might be married ) Not always the case though...smile 23 Pictures ( they might be vain ) ~~~~~~~~~~ Just a few I have seen of many.................
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Curvy= a ton A few pounds = severly overweight My friends always say " I don't understand how your still single your such a catch" = commitment phobe I'm always told I look 10 years younger than I am = vain or really old looking Any statment that begins with " my friends would describe me as ...." = very boring I don't have any pictures.. I promise that's true= I'm ugly
Author Mary3 Posted August 6, 2005 Author Posted August 6, 2005 LOL ! Or " I am 48 years old , never married , no kids ( that I know of ) , no long term relationships, = He isnt likely to marry if he hasn't by then and forget kids . Save the drama for your Mama = I hate lying screaming bitches who have emotional tantrums . I neeeeeeeeeeeeed Love , Please love meee...please ? = Loser in Love ie ; needy clingy stalker guy My name is Roger and here is my text number , my house number, my P O Box number = I wish it werent true that this man repeatly has told me this for 2 years and I never agreed or wanted to meet him. Yikes ! I want you to understand and submit to my desires and needs and must be sexy , 125 lbs , light brown hair , fix my breakfast , fulfill all my sexual needs = A real pain in the A** who wants everything HIS way and lots of sex. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hehe
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Funny Mary... That reminds me : I'm 38 never been married ..No kids and independant and financially secure and don't need aman to support me = Man hater or Bit*h I'm 38 divorced with 1 child and I'm not looking for a father for my child = looking for a father for my child or means needy
Author Mary3 Posted August 6, 2005 Author Posted August 6, 2005 Or how about this " Him : Hi Her : Hi back Him : So what are you doing right now ? Her : Huh ? Him : I mean are you laying down ? Her : Um kinda Him : What are you wearing ? Her : What ? Him : Its been 2 years for me sorry ...you know. Her : Click ! LOL !
Author Mary3 Posted August 6, 2005 Author Posted August 6, 2005 Had a guy send me a nice email and said he wanted to take me to dinner. How nice ! ( I thought ) Then we proceeded to eventually talk on the phone. He asked me what bra size I was ?....( huh ) What kind of sex did I like ? ( whoah ) Pretty soon I figured out what he really wanted. Needless to say he mailed me many times wondering what he said wrong ? Jerk-O-Meter = 10 ~ !
A Fly onThe Wall Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Originally posted by Mary3 What kind of sex did I like ? ( whoah ) How many kinds did he think there are ?
MWC_LifeBeginsAt40 Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Athletic = ??? okay someone can come up with something humorous here, I'm not good with words lol. I used to get offended when the guys insisted on a picture. But now I know why. I have chatted up too many guys and given out my msn and then see their pic and OMG get me outta here.....not saying ugly, just weird and not what I expected, but I think it also has to do with the personal sexual questions wayyyy too early.
lvgrly Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 But on that same token, if you get to know someone before you see their pictures, and you like them for whats inside not outside, then why do you feel as if you have to run or "get you outta there" if their pictures are not what you expected? I understand that physical apperance does have something to do with the way you like someone, I was just asking.

Hey lvgrly, I've tried to date someone out of the body type that I like (tall and skinny) because he was such a great guy. Couldn't get over the fact that he was just too big for me. I met him at a party (not an online dating thing), and told myself, I can get over this, I'm a better person than that. I couldn't get over it: I tried for 3 months. Just MHO.
tanbark813 Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Out of curiosity, why would you avoid the very first one? Is it a bad thing if a person has been cheated on a lot? Doesn't the fact that they specifically require someone honest and faithful mean they will be that way themselves?

But I think it's the burn that you hear in their words that makes me turn away.. Almost as if they were freshly burned.. IMO it doesn't belong in a profile that describes yourself.. They could use the words Faithfull or Trustworthy instead of liars or cheaters
alphamale Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 Originally posted by lvgrly I understand that physical apperance does have something to do with the way you like someone, I was just asking. actually it has a lot to do with the way you like someone LVGRLY.....physical attraction is usually the first step in courtship and if you fail that first step the other steps usually don't happen

I understand that physical apperance does have something to do with the way you like someone, I was just asking. A firend of mine --seriously it wasn't me--signed up for a major dating site that is e**armony. The premise it to know the person before the face. The picture apparently is the last thing disclosed and by that time (according to them) appearance should not matter. He had several responses that made him recoil in fear once they were exposed, and then one actual date, that had a "recent" photo, but apparently a lot had happened in the past four months. He stuck it out like a trooper but cancelled the membership. This way of dating is bull****t! There has to be SOME physical attraction. He wrote the founder back and asked for his money back and he suggested that the website might be renamed more aptly. www,reallyfatuglydesparatedivorcedchickswhohavenochanceinhellinmeetingsomeoneonmatchdotcom.com

Author Mary3 Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 You can beat it against the wall all you want but there must be something attractive about that person that you like. If its their eyes, build, facial features.ect. Of course there are the non physical things that you like about them as well. Such as personality , intelligence , values , ect. But the : "What about accepting that person for who he is on the inside" is nice and proper but in a relationship physical sex is going to come into the picture at some point. At that time , to be arroused you must find something about them attractive . ( Okay I will speak for myself in saying that I must find something physically attractive about them ) There are the exceptions such as women looking for wealthy wrinkled 87 year old man who frequents strip bars and happen to be worth 478 million dollars. Go Nicole ! But most men dont have 478 million dollars . Everyone else must fend for themselves in the dating realm. Have something that stands out like being very funny , or highly creative , or a genius at making mosiacs is going to turn a girls head as well.
Author Mary3 Posted August 7, 2005 Author Posted August 7, 2005 What profiles mean : I haven't been able to find someone in 10 years = I have not had sex in 10 years I dont believe in material things , fast cars , spending money frivolusly , I like staying in and watching endless DVD's and rarely go out much = We are probrobly going to eat at McDonads if we DO go out. I like the girl to treat me when we go out = I am looking for a girl that does not mind paying for our dates. " Wow you are a cheap date ! " = I am cheap. ~~~~~~~~~~
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Originally posted by A Fly onThe Wall Curvy= a ton Fly.... Now, look....I am curvy, but I am NOT anywhere near a ton, and certainly would not be described as obese by any standard. So if I am truthful on my profile, are you telling me that men perceive me as being way too heavy? Puleeeeeze....some guys like curvy....even my current beau tells me so.
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 933KJL.... I HATE *harmony....they suck the big one. For instance...... there is NO WAY I can date anyone under 6 feet tall, but they contstantly matched me up with men that were significantly shorter than that. Well, finally I got fed up when they sent me the profile of a guy who was 5'9" who was obese at best. I had to cancel my subscription.....which took forever to get refunded. What I want to know is why these sites match you up with people who are not within your physical description.....because, let's face it....physical chemistry is half of the equation.

I think Fly was just joking around. But this is a good question, and I hope he will answer it for you. Because if the majority of men relate 'curvy' as obese, then perhaps women might want to alter that info on an on-line profile. just my $0.02......... Rosalind
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Rosalind, Look, I'll be completely frank here.... I'm 5'8" and a 12/14. I'm NOT skinny, but nobody has called me obese. My man calls me "deliciously curvy", which I think I am. I have boobs....I have hips....I have a small waist...I have the whole "waist-to-hip" ratio that they talk about, but I know it's not what a lot of men want. But thank God that enough men appreciate it, that I am never wanting for dates or attention.
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted August 7, 2005 Posted August 7, 2005 Originally posted by Rosalind [color=navy]You sound just fine! Rosalind [/color] Thanks sweetie! You do too! Every so often I have to remind myself that for every guy that likes a skinny lady, there's a guy that appreciates a curvy one! We're all perfect in our own ways!
