Thoughts about online dating descriptions

JAMProphet

Hi All-

So, I am thinking about venturing into the world of online dating, and I have a question: how does one go about describing, ACCURATELY, their body type? Though I am speaking in third person, I am actually referring to myself, in this case.

So, I am ready for your assessments, ladies and gentlemen: if I am setting up an online dating profile, what do you think would be the best description of my body type?

Just put "A little more to love". Be up front, keep it real and be your freaking self!


OKCupid and POF...both of them filled with a bunch of crazy *kitten* ladies...dude, share the stories once you start dating.

Not only crazy *kitten* ladies, but there are some crazy *kitten* guys too!!! The free sites are where you end up with the larger concentration of loons!

Hmm. Internet dating is...interesting. I've tried it once or twice with no luck, but I do have a friend who met her husband on EHarmony.

I always say average. I could go slender (athletic and toned if I've been behaving a while) OR curvy on any given day, depending on who you ask. But, my thought is I don't want a guy who is only going to choose the slim/slender/athletic and toned types because, in my experience, they are usually kind of jerky. I also don't say curvy because then some people assume that means overweight when, in reality, it should just mean T&A.

So, about average it is!

I met my man of POF we been together 4 months, everything is perfect... but yes A LOT of crazy ppl... like 1 guy told me and I quote "we could make it work" after the first date.... bye bye lol

For me, I have seen:
Slender
Athletic and Toned
Average
A Few Extra Pounds

I have asked a few of my female friends, and I usually get "average" and occasionally "Athletic and toned"

Im not sure which would be the most honest to list...

Average seems reasonable... depends on where you live I suppose. In some places, obese IS average!

Hope it works out for you! I met my hub on the internets in a message board in the 90s but it wasn't a dating type thingee...

Average it is!
