“What that Profile is REALLY Saying!”
This post will give a few hints about online dating profiles
and how to interpret what they are REALLY saying. **I may use the masculine pronoun but please
know these rules apply to women as well!
Profiles are the self- descriptions folks use to let you
know all about them…supposedly. And yes,
once again, folks lie. Or what they are
really saying is hidden behind the words.
The following are a few signs to look out for when perusing people’s
online dating profiles. In this
mini-series, you will also learn how NOT to write your own. In fact, I can write a profile that will
almost guarantee you will get at least 50% more POSITIVE hits than you
currently are now, but that’s for later! Heehee!
Back to the tips…
1.
If a
person starts his profile off with disclaimers, those very same disclaimers
will manifest an issue within HIM eventually.
Example, if the profile says something to the effect of, “And if you are
too stuck up or have a nasty attitude, stay away!” ..Now, you may say, ok, that’s innocent
enough, he’s just putting his preference out there”, HOWEVER, one reason a
person gives disclaimers is because he has experienced this type of behavior
SEVERAL times in the past. Meaning, HE
is doing something to make folks think they can get away with this
behavior. If the disclaimer speaks on “being
stuck up”, it’s more than likely because someone didn’t want to “match” with
him and he got upset (aka HIS issue)…in fact, SEVERAL someones. Now, I can see if this happened a couple
times, but putting out a disclaimer usually means more than two times. Last example, if the disclaimer is “And
before any guys try to holla at me, I’m not gay!”… uh huh, you get the
picture.
2.
When a person goes through great details to list
all of his material things, he’s using “bling” as bait. If that’s ok with you, go for it, but I can
almost guarantee, somewhere in his profile, he will have a disclaimer about
women using him for his money.
3.
I don’t know about you, but I would proceed very
cautiously around a profile with MULTIPLE misspelled words and very bad grammar. Enough said on that.
4.
When you read the profile that says, “I’m a
humble man, trying to make it in this world” or “I may not be there yet but I’m
getting there” or something similar, that reads “No car, no job, and no home
ownership”. I’m not saying someone has
to have a banging car, a large home and a nice back account but, at least at
the age I’m at, he needs to have something to drive, a job to go to and a place
to live…outside of his mama’s house!
5.
If the profile says, “Email me and I’ll tell you
more”...and nothing else, that’s either a scam to get money out of you by
talking to you off the site but via email OR it’s an undercover married man. And I can bet there’s not going to be a
picture on the profile either.
6.
If you’re on a site where you can see “friends”
of the person you’re interested in, check his friends list. If all of his friends are of women in
scantily clad clothing, he’s a wolf gathering his sheep.
7.
And lastly, if the picture is of an unbelievably
attractive male or female, and they are showing non-stop interest in you,
PLEASE, this one time situation only, DO NOT talk yourself into believing you’re
all that and what you’ve written in YOUR profile has moved someone to this
point. This is surely a scam! And you will be out of your money in no
time!!
Well, that’s it for this tip topic for now. I’m sure there are many other “clues” you can
find in profiles, these are just a few that stands out. You just have to keep your eyes open and use
your head! If your intuition speaks,
LISTEN! All shiny things aren’t
gold!!
