“Just as comfortable in heels as a pair of jeans”

– especially bad if it is on a guy’s profile

BTW, the phrase “work hard and play hard”? That’s gotta go.

I’m suprised – and maybe I shouldn’t be – at the number of profiles where they put up a picture and nothing else. Or they don’t even put up the picture. And then there are those princes that want to discuss all their sexual preferences and fantasies, etc. in their profile. Because women just love that stuff.

So everyone’s OK with the general idea of ghostwritten profiles? Then Photoshopped pictures should be fine too, right? And after all that disingenuous tweaking, how are you supposed to make any sort of realistic judgment about the qualities of the person who the profile represents? Whether a person can express themselves attractively and coherently and has something interesting to say is an important part of choosing whom to email. Maybe you’ll figure it out in the first few emails you receive back, but that’s a waste of everyone’s time. You are who you are, and having someone else write you a fascinating profile or digitally remove those 30 unwanted pounds isn’t going to change the ultimate outcome. In fact, doing those things just sets you up to disappoint your date if they finally do meet you – you’re not going to look or sound like your profile, and there goes that first impression.

LOL! Ok- you’re right. Thanks for ‘enlightening’ me. ;-p But the dude was still weird though.

Sayanta,

Flying Spaghetti Monster is a great name – if you get the joke. Try Googling it and you’ll see.

Signed,

One guy I came across had “flying spaghetti monster” as his profile name. Too bad- his pic was hot. But I’m just sooo not attracted to flying spaghetti monsters.

I read this one today from a nice looking “Single – never married 44 yr. old lady”

“Just made apple struedel and kolachies for the first time at Xmas. When hanging out with friends, like BBQs, festivals, wine tastings. I am hoping to be a mom soon – decided I can’t wait any longer for that great life partner – and I’m very excited about being a mom. Just looking for that super nice, together guy who wants to grab life by the horns and move forward together”

Although she is a little above average looking (looks like Jane Curtin from SNL) I’m sure the guys WON’T be beating down her door to date or get involved with this eager “mom to be” ?? Opinions ??
