Why is it that everyone seems to always put exactly the same things on their profiles? I've been banging away on this particular drum for years now. "I don't know what to write here" and "Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask" and "I like to go out or stay in" and "I'm quiet at first but I will open up once I get to know you" and "I love my friends and family" and "I look good in jeans or the little black dress" and "I like to see the glass as half full" and "I am a single mother of three kids AND THEY ARE MY WORLD" and "I'm laid back and easy going" and.... There must be, somewhere, a sort of boilerplate "Profiles for Dummies" sort of thing, from which ALL these people are copying. I suppose it's easier than saying something creative or original or in any way useful, unique, or revealing. Speaking of "unique," I've noticed a recent trend for EVERY profile to include "I'm the most unique person you'll ever meet," followed by the exact same things everyone else has in THEIR profiles. And then there are the ones who say "I'm hot and sexy" -- self-assessments aren't worth the screen they show up on. Profiles are, and have been (for years) a constant source of amusement and disappointment for me. That's one reason why the ONE GLORIOUS PROFILE thread has gone on so long -- you want to see bad profiles -- bad language and spelling and "literacy" that would make Jed Clampett cry? I got 'em! |

I once put "I like long walks on the moon" in a profile as a sort of shameless attempt at blatant mockery. Then some girl sent me a note and said "That sounds like fun but how do you get there?"

Yep, you have to be careful not to provoke the mouth-breathers, nothing enticing, beautiful, or curious, or else you get those mails "Well, I'm not (blank) but I am (blank), will I do?" Um, hell no...... |

I like long walks. On the beach or on water, same difference.
You pick the place and I'll choose the time. |

I love long walks on the beach. Somewhere warm in the Carib or Mex. Walking hand in hand with the moon above with a warm breeze whispering thru the palms, leaving nothing but footprints.
Been there and done exactly that. ![]() |

But, I really do like long walks on the beach. ![]() But, according to this person, it's a stupid attempt to look romantic! That must mean no one can really like it ![]() No, if you read my post, that was my point exactly: it's a thing virtually everyone likes to do, so it's kind of pointless to include it on a profile. I will admit my post was a bit vitriolic, especially considering it was sort of an introductory post. I apologise for coming off like a grumpy "I've seen it all" a-hole. I have a lot of mixed up feelings about the concept of being single and on the "market" after a 10 year relationship went south...and so I guess I'm in a mindset where I'm seeing the worst instead of the best in people. To a certain extent being sarcastic is all right - I don't feel comfortable with people who take things I say too personally - but I have to learn some of the basic principles of respect I've forgotten in my 3+ years of cocooning and being a total loner... |

There must be, somewhere, a sort of boilerplate "Profiles for Dummies" sort of thing, from which ALL these people are copying.
I'm surprised the "I Can Has Cheeseburger" people, who have a huge bouquet of websites poking fun at bizarre Craigslist ads, MySpace idiocy, incredibly unliveable real estate listings, emails from crazy people, horrendous wedding photos, and that's just for starters...don't have a site dedicated to Dating Site Profile Hell. (Maybe I oughta suggest they do one.) And then there are the ones who say "I'm hot and sexy" -- self-assessments aren't worth the screen they show up on.
Such descriptions are nearly always accompanied by a photo of--if a male-- a dude in the "flexing the bicep" pose, or --if a female-- a chick making a "kissy face" at the camera while jutting her boobs out at the viewer. I dunno if guys like that sort of thing...but I sure think the bicep poses look...incredibly douchebaggy. I may be just guessin' here, but I don't think I'm alone in that. |

I once put "I like long walks on the moon" in a profile as a sort of shameless attempt at blatant mockery. Then some girl sent me a note and said "That sounds like fun but how do you get there?" Long walks through space. Which, come to think of it, is a pastime I am all too familiar with. |

This has nothing at all to do with your message -- but I just noticed the cat in your icon bears a stunningly close resemblance to my own cat.
Is this a picture of a Random Kitty or is this Your Own Kitty? |
