Dating Profiles Give It Away

Okay... I am single, and have recently joined a new dating site.  While I believe that these topics have been addressed by the experts, let me say, I'm not an 'expert.'  So, I may be "walking the plank" on this one.  

I'm finding that this current site is like every other site, that most women want or "demand" too much from us guys.  And guess what, girls, we are gonna pass you by...

Honestly, honesty should be a given.  If you're not honest in your profile, you shouldn't be on putting yourself out there (and that includes 'text for sex' profiles).  What guy is gonna read that you're looking for "honesty" and not chase you, if he's not honest?  Sometimes, I think this means something else or has a 'hidden' connotation, but a good definition is: the quality of being fair and truthful or fairness and straightforwardness of conduct.  I guess, what I'm saying, is that if you're including this, then you may be saying too much about your past relationships.

I may find you attractive... and think you've got a great personality up to the point where I read "must be able to talk about everything and anything."  Put on the brakes!  Really?  We are not going there!  Why?

“If I seek to fulfill my own needs at the expense of my partner, we are sure to experience unhappiness, resentment, and conflict. The secret of forming a successful relationship is for both partners to win.”

Don't be selfish.  We all have baggage, yet we are willing to step out on a limb to find someone later in our lives.  If you're going to find that "special" someone, we have to remain unselfish.  All too often, I read about "demands" and 'this is the way it's gonna be' type of mentality.  For those of you who put this on your profiles, you may be selling yourself short and... searching forever.  

When you're looking for that special someone, you're essentially looking to 'change' your life from what it was to a 'new adventure.'  However, if the only picture you have of yourself is the one with your dog or holding a glass of alcohol, you're sending the wrong message (at least that's how I see it).  And if you are truly serious about your move to 'dating,' please get with the 'picture!"  Here's some great tips for 'picture perfect' profiles!
