Reading a Profile


Follow these keys to reading a profile:

1.  If a person writes, "not looking to play games,"   
     "don't want to be hurt," "just dumped on," etc, they
      are wounded, so beware.

2.  When a woman states she's into fitness more than
     once in her profile, she's overweight.  When a
     man states he's into fitness more than once in his
     profile, he won't date a woman who is overweight. 

3.  When a person posts several different pictures of
     themselves, and all but one picture looks good,
     the person presently looks like the worst looking
     picture posted.

4.  If a guy posts a picture of himself wearing a
     baseball cap, he's bald.

5.  When anyone refuses to post a picture they are
     either ugly, or think that they are ugly.   

6.  If a woman says she's wild or crazy, she's bipolar. 
     If a man says he's wild or crazy, he's horny.

7.  Anyone who writes about their ex in their profile is
     still hurting and/or still in love.

8.  When a woman states she is open minded, she is
     bisexual.  When a man states that he is open 
     minded, he wants to have a threesome.

9.  If a guy is lying about anything in his profile, it is
     likely his height.  If a woman is lying about
     anything in her profile, it is likely her weight.

10.  When someone makes a point to state that they
       are "honest" in their profile, it is because
       someone they have recently dated has lied to
       them.
