Who He is: Reading Male Personal Profiles Online

It is easy to tell in a real life how good (or bad) is this man for you. In the virtual world of online dating it can be much harder. Unfortunately, there are enough black sheep on the web, who can nicely present themselves online, hiding their actual face. A few tips below will help you to make a right choice.

1. How one can tell if the man is married? First of all: look at his photo. If it is small, blurred, shows his figure rather than a face, or he wears sun glasses, likely, he is trying to hide his identity. It is highly possible that he is married.

Of course, picture is not enough. Perhaps, you could see a direct line in the profile, indicating that the whole thing is merely a solicitation for a bed partner. A lot of men are not concealing the fact that they are married, they just skip mentioning this in their personals. You can ask them indirectly, for example, with this line “you sound like a married man”.

2. Be very cautious with personal profiles where the description of a “dream girl” is focused on external appearances and little or nothing is said about her character, interests or background. Certainly, who would be worrying about the background if she looks like a twin of Jessica Simpson or Kate Beckinsale? However, you should worry what you are going to do if your appearance will match the posted requirements. Would it be museum touring, bike riding, or, perhaps, whale watching? Hardly. The owner of such profile most likely wants only one thing from you: having sex.

3. Be skeptical when you see romantic or touchy photos, like man with a dog, or a kid, or by himself in tuxedo or in a limo. Reality may not stretch beyond a catchy picture, and there are no dogs or kids, while the pics with tux and limousine were clipped from wedding picture package. Bottom line ” do not take a picture as granted. Ask a question about it now, so you will not regret it later.

4. If he tells you “let’s talk about it later” and or if his profile is somewhat incomplete, the best you can do is just drop this candidate for online dating from your list. This man is either lazy, or has full life, or both, and in any case, you should not waste your time on him.

5. It is a good question to ask (unless it is a standard one in profile format) ” what was a reason of break up in your past relationships. If he blames her or them, then just forget him. In majority of cases both sides are responsible for split ups and you definitely don’t want to be the next one to be blamed.

Here are some other signs which you can find in mens profile revealing that its author is online Lothario.

- Multiple postings of the same individual on one site.

- He shows himself on a photo hugged by a girl (you may see only her arms).

- He lists his over 80 k$ income figure without any further details (like, say, education or his profession) which would back the numbers.

- He leaves his number with some limited hours when you can call him. Many authors of such profiles are already married.

Finally, the bottom line: do not let yourself being caught by classy pictures and shiny profiles: analyze the information, explore it and ask questions.
