Topic: Perceptions

Everybody draws conclusions about people based on whatever data they have at the time. When you look at a profile, or post on these forums for some period of time, you draw conclusions about those people. (Don't lie, I do it). But the funny thing is, sometimes the image people are giving off is NOT what they intended, which to me kinda works against the very concept of an internet dating site.

So what that said, I have a question, if anyone wants to play. The rules are simple:

1) Look at the person above you, and in less than 50 words, describe your perception of that person and why you think that. If you think they're arrogant or clueless or whatever, don't be afraid to say it
2) If you've been described, and the person is totally off, then refute it, but look at your profile or posts from their perspective, and think about it.
3) Have thick skin. I fully intend to be skewered

I doubt anyone will have the balls to open themselves up to that kind of scrutiny, but I figured I'd try it anyway. I'm curious...

why not! Based on just your pic you look like a bad ass but probably are not. Most likely kind and into family and serious about work.

Wish I was a gangsta but I've got other priorities that are more important.

I don't know, maybe it's the aviators... and the fact that you clearly drive an SUV and/or Minivan.

edit:
mine was for rtaylor, I was posting when the new post came up. lol


alon: you seem like just a simple pleasures, down-home, good-old-boy... kinda guy who enjoys nascar and bud light on the weekends.

bigsmile Don't really know all three of ya here, but YOU ALL seem to be cool, and each with your own personalities.
rtaylor, I think your post here is cool, but you are right about MOST won't..lol
I think they don't want to say something that might piss-off another.
Me personally, if I felt they were a bad person I would say that,lol..drinker smokin

based on pictures alone, would say you could probably find rtaylor hanging out in front of the neighborhood liquor store sell crack, probably way off. have known iam for a long time due to his posts, so would like to think of him as having a good heart being a softie even, but the picture would make him appear to be one of the outlaw bikers. evening kiss seems to be deep in thought, possibly reads a lot and very little of it fiction, also one who pick educational programs when watching tv. now everyone tell me I am way off.drinker drinker

ItsMeTina looks as though she is kind well educated and sweet spirited. Plus looking for someone to treat her like the good girl she is. Seems to me also she likes the chivalrous type and wants to be swept off her feet by that one special guy.

Simply Ella is skeptical and protective of herself just by looking at the fact that she is scared of finding someone with weird fetishes...

A party guy, the class clown type likes to make people laugh.
Wants to be taken seriously by the ladies.

That's about right :wink: Not so much into the partying as I am getting older but I do love dressing in costumes for parties.

again without reading profiles, just looking at the pictures, I would have to say both tina and elle are softies, just looking for the right man to settle down with, possibly have a whole house full of little ones to take care of. again most likely off base again JMO.flowerforyou :heart: flowerforyou:heart: blushing blushing

I think the person above (Gypsy?) needs to get a head. Just looking at the T shirt I thought, this is a guy (but the profile'll tell you different). I couldn't read the print on the t-shirt till I went to the profile. Other than that, pretty much a blank when I looked at the picture. The profile's nice, though, if a bit distant. (mileage wise). Say hello to Princess Patricia, stop by Tim Horton's and send us some tire bucks, eh?

I haven't read your profile rt, however, I feel you are fairly objective, when reading your posts..
You have a quick wit, and dont mind friendly banter, and seem fairly well balanced in your thinking
