robbie36 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 As I see it, the TF profiles are aimed at giving a general impression of what you are really like. The idea being that people might filter who they want to get to know from their profiles... a bit like which people you might go up to and chat to in a party when you dont know anyone. Girl/boy? age? likes/dislikes? Even the photos give us clues either subconsciously or consciously.Some of the questions you are asked are a bit weird but I guess that's ok. And some of the questions are actually trick questions. For instance mobile phone number? Now only a complete moron would give their real mobile phone number over the internet (or someone who is very very confused) but there you go. Now my best guess is that most people are pretty honest in their profiles. Of course there will always be creeps who post as sexy french bis to cyber with other creeps posing as sexy Thai bis but it aint really that interesting. Life is complicated enough without all those sorts of fantasies. But I can see some reasons to lie. I mean if I was a sexy Thai girl, I think I would be tempted to post a profile with a pic of me looking ugly. I mean if you are seriously cute, it must be pretty boring meeting people who are only after your looks - you do that every day. If you are a rich guy it would be tempting to pretend that you were poor and see who wanted to be friends with you despite that. Afterall a rich guy is would presmably like to meet a girl who is not just after his money. Now of course if you met the person for real, it would be a bit of a shock, that you had been lied too but i guess you could understand. And in terms of a shock, at least it would probably be a pleasant shock. BTW the concept I find most confusing is when people show off their best attributes. Why would a pretty girl photoshop a photo to make herself look prettier? Or a rich guy show off his car to show he is rich? That I cant explain. Any ideas what to put in a profile?

babyoiy Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 alright .. I love to babble (non sense) .. so here we go .. Some (most) ppl doesnt want to show their ugly pics even they are extremly cute/sexy yummy/beautiful ... And photography is supposed to be the thing to present urself in good look (as much as we can) And just with some angel and flash or light or any photography tactic will make u look better without any help of photoshop too. Some may like to make fun by post some ugly pics on profile.. but most ppl alway post pics that they are look good (atleast in their sight) And some ppl just bored of plain pic and photoshop thing is not only just for make u look better but sometime for artistic! About post ugly pic or any pic to present that u were something else than whatyou really are.. sound like soap opera.. or hollywood film tho' if u really want to proof what other think about u.. or find ur real princess.. such a dramatic! But I agree.. if u hide some fact that supposed to be better thing then its will be pleasure to know.. But how many ppl will bother to tell the world that (s)he is worse! We.. (most) human always say positive thing about ourselves.. and negative thing about other.. simple huh? I used to believe that any profile that post only 1-2 pics is might be faker! But its not always.. I have met some ppl that have only 1 pic on profile but REAL and even look better.. I guess some ppl dont like to take photo.. Photo with Mercedes etc.. never get caught my interest.. some ppl want to show off .. yeah .. I doubt, but how many girl gonna fall for that? Even they present something not real on profile, but when get to know them in real it will be shown later soon. They cant hide that long .. We cant make any standard or prove about what they said/post on profile.. Happy Go Lucky... (( make any sense ?!? )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm...I don't know either why people photoshop thier photo to make them look better never try that lol plus i wouldn't waste my time on stuffs like that ( i'm too lazy lol) maybe they try to make the first impression on them through their best shots and posts( I don't mind reading and looking on their profiles tho-- different people different perspective ).. some profiles put me to sleep as his/her intro is like 1000 pages biography trying to promote themselve as the best merchandise in the world *Yawn* let me find some kinky pic to put on my profile :twisted: fun fun fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A one-click voting facility would just become a routine mechanical activity and would have a lot less meaning. It would indeed save a lot of time, but if you can't make time for your friends, then what would this mechanical vote mean to them really?

robbie36 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Oi.... who said you lot could ruin my thread by discussing the voting system? Its a bloody conspiracy. (So you are supposed to vote for your friends. Hmmm.... I didnt know that but I did wonder what the voting system was for? But wait... my friends know they are my friends... why do I have to vote for them? Oh my God... and noone is voting for me... maybe I dont have any friends? And then if my friends did start voting for me, I would begin to question whether they were really my friends because they didnt understand me well enough to know that I think the whole frigging voting thing is a waste of time except as a way for shy people to catch my attention. Time for another cold shower.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun_Sam Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Ok going back on topic, and trying to take my mind off the London drama. Any ideas what to put in a profile? Shoe size for guys (girls may want to know how you measure up) Bra size for girls (so that guys can buy you some sexy undies; honestly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
