Admin	20 word dash... Posted : 28 May, 2010 07:12 PM I can't say I get a kick out of reading online dating profiles, coz generally speaking, there's a remarkable ho-hum pattern that tumbles out of many keyboards. I especially get turned off by the beware-of-dog signs posted at the entry way of some write ups. It usually follows this thought line: "If you are married/a player/carry too much emotional baggage... please go bother someone else. Don't even look this way." What's the result? Well, it not only menaces predators, but alienates any upcoming candidates in the process. This tactic begs the question: "Why are you picking a fight with with me?" It conveys a red flag signal which translated in the NIV English version reads, 'I have this ingrained knack for focusing on negative things [and ..... this is only the beginning].' " *Sigh* Here's a little advice from a blogosphere named "Afterglide". The author's name is Jeremy. Yes, he seems exasperated to the point of getting a little snarky (hyperbole perhaps?), yet he's making a good point worth considerating -- like how about using a little originality? -- � 2010 "Perhaps you're not much of a writer, but evidently you're not much of a reader, either. You're considering ignoring my advice and cranking out a slapdash profile that reads, 'I'm a fun (guy/girl) that loves to have fun and party. I want to meet a super sexy and fun (guy/girl) who likes to go out and have fun!' Seriously, I'm going to have to smack you. That tells potential dates absolutely NOTHING about you other than you are an airhead without a clue as to what you are looking for or even who you yourself are. You may laugh at the absurdity of it, but this is the paraphrased core text of a disturbingly large percentage of profiles out there. For starters, EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET LIKES TO HAVE FUN!! The key question to ask yourself is what do you think is fun? Your suitor's idea of fun and your idea of fun may differ vastly..." -- Jeremy Nolastnameski Post Reply
