Translate What He Means in His Online Dating Profile

Okay, you have finally decided to join one of those online dating sites and almost immediately you have hundreds of potential sites to send winks, hugs, or emails. However, you are overwhelmed by the number of potential dates. And, what exactly does the profile information mean when the guy is telling you things about himself. Well allow me to translate the most common exaggerated claims by men in those profiles.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First, if the age in the guy’s profile somehow does not quite match the face in the picture, he is either using an older picture of himself so he looks younger in the picture, or, he is using a current picture but he did not list his true age.

  2. Step 2

    Second, if the guy says in his profile that he works out more than three times a week, but does not have a full body picture or a picture doing some type of sport in his profile, then he does not work out three times a week and may not exercise at all.

  3. Step 3

    Third, if the guy says in his profile that he loves to travel, but has no pictures of places other than local sites, then it is a good bet he has not traveled further than the neighboring city.

  4. Step 4

    Fourth, if the guy’s descriptions of himself and what he likes and dislikes are longer than a People magazine article, then the guy is either very lonely and has a bunch of time to write and rewrite his profile, or he is not really that interesting to be around and is simply describing the type of man he would like to become.

  5. Step 5

    Fifth, if the guy says in his profile that he is a very sensitive and secure man who is looking for his soul mate or that one special woman, then what he really means he is disparately looking for a date, which he has not had in months or years. Or he is using the phrase because that is what he thinks you want to see in a profile and you will respond to his attempts to communicate with you.

Tips & Warnings
