Here is a great topic, and some will see as just basic advice. On how to
improve your chances on meeting a match that will work out.

Don't say your 5' 6" if thats what you are when wearing 4" heals. Don't
say your average weight if over 30 pounds over weight, if all else fails
here ask a doctor. And average weight means to your frame not the
average population lol. If you have children, say yes lol. If you smoke
often as in 3 or more times a week be honest with your smoking. Same
applies to your drinking.
You have to think, your profile is the way others will get to know you.
Do you want them to know you as a person that can not tell the truth,
can not be trusted.

First be completely honest about all. Now there may be questions your
not comfortable answering and would leave to a dating situation. The
basics if you cant answer and without lying then really how do you
expect to find a match.

People will lie about age, weight, and if they have children or not. Ahh
they should love me, no matter what. Hmmmm wake up. Then others will lie
about interests and what they are looking for, Hmmm hard to find a match
then, if they want some one with at least some interests they have. Then
again some people just don't read the profiles or walk around with
blinders on. And see and hear only what they want. Just forget them and
go on to something real.
Prefer not to say either means yes or you agree with it, your only
fooling yourself.

Take care all.

Truth and honesty-does any one remember that...

My profile is me....

me too...

me too...

enjoyed your topic,lets hope people read your topic. you are so very
true to what you are saying. lies get you nowhere . i could not have
said it better .thank you .great topic.

So very true Ed! It is really disappointing when you go to meet that
someone and you find out that all they wrote was a bunch of baloney.
Not very good if you aren't truthful.

My profile is me!

I am who I say I am!!!

I yam what I yam, and thats all that I yam...

I'm 5'8 in my bare feet, 150 pounds with a goal weight of 145, I have a
daughter who's 31, no grandkids -- and don't want any, either.

I don't smoke, drink or do drugs and will not date a guy who does.

I'm fiercely loyal to myself and my values and I am a person who
believes everyone should be held accountable for their actions.

I'm honest "to a fault," if there is such a thing, and, though I'm
tough-minded, I am a also very loving and nurturing person and I can get
hurt rather easily.

A man who's with me would NEVER have to worry about me betraying him, in
any form or fashion. (Unless he was doing something against the law or
something unethical).

The info in my profile pretty much describes my personality to a "T." I
believe I am what's generally considered to be a "good woman," but I'm
beginning to have my doubts as to whether or not most men even want a
"good woman" in their life.

That pretty much sums it up.

I'm 6 foot and weigh 168 pounds. I smoke and drink and cuss a time or
two..But most men don't read all this.
They never read the part about smoking and then want you to quit the
min. they find out...sorry gonna smoke and gonna drink and if you like
me fine if not fine...i could care less...but don't try to change me
have been married three times and all of them tried believe me and none
succeeded. I like who i am and that's the way i'm gonna be.....oh by
the way i have three kids and two grandkids...so now that pretty much
sums it up....
