The Profile vs. The Truth

Online profiles crack me up.  Whether it is MySpace or an actual dating site people are full of garbage.  Or perhaps they are full of good intentions and then find out the nothing goes according to plan.

Take for instance the people hung up on finding someone who is not legally married.  Then one day you think the person of your dreams has shown up but whoops!  They are still hitched.  Oopsy!  Then what to do?  This goes right along with 24 year old girls who say they NEVER want children.  Please get a grip!  Who are you kidding?  When that clock starts ticking you will sound like the biggest fool ever.  It's also like a man saying he will never lose his sex drive.  LIES!  Just as we get ours into full swing a guy needs a little blue pill!  UGH!

Then there are the people who insist on having Mr. or Miss Fitness as their future person.  Well, that is great but first look in the mirror.  Are you really fit or do you have a double standard?  And would you be willing to stay alone for all your days versus spending them wonderfully with someone who may be an average weight or just a little more? 

People say they like to hike, be active, snowboard, rock climb, run, sky dive.  Dating sites are full of people who claim to be huge into big thrill sports.  However, when your body fails you and you can't do those activities, what kind of character do you want sitting next to you?  Most do not comment on that!

And if these online daters find someone wonderful are they unselfish enough to let them into their lives?  I am.  What good is having wonderful things happen in life if you have no one to share them with?  My problem is that I am not willing to share them with just anyone.  That can be a good thing and a very bad thing.  Depends on the day.  For today, I will say that it keeps me from falling in love with just anyone. 

Moral of the story - if you are reading this and have an online profile please get real and quit sounding like everyone else out there.  Surely there is something about you that is wonderful and will catch some attention but not if you sound like everyone else. :)
