| Profile Honesty
by canajun at 5/29/2009 9:57:55 AM
  How many of us have wondered about the question of honesty in a profile we read? Many assume that because they themselves are posting only things that help to put a positive spin that helps us sell ourselves that others are doing the same thing. But how many of us actually consider the possibility that just maybe a profile is actually the truth and is indeed an accurate representation of the one posting the profile? You might wonder why I am bringing this up because it is assumed that everyone knows the game and plays the same one with each other, seldom does one consider that just maybe the profile is for real all the way. I have noticed that one often gets a response with those thinking that an honest profile is just an new wrinkle or gimmick to catch a potential suitors interest and curiousity and when they discover that a profile might indeed be honest and straightforward they drop that person quick and cold the moment it becomes clear that the profile was the real deal. All this begs the question of why that is? We all claim that we want honesty, we all claim that we want the real deal and the whole cacophony that goes with those claims. The reality however seems to be quite the opposite, why is that? What seems to be more of a truism for most it seems is that they want to be lied to, they want an illusion maintained about someone they find interesting. Which again begs the question of why, when presented with actual honesty that you claim to want you run quickly the opposite direction?
So what's the deal? Are you lying to yourselves? To others as to what you are and what you really want? Is it not contradictory to claim you want honesty yet you shy away from it when faced with it? Why make the claim when deep down you want to be lied to? Why claim you are honest when in reality you are not? Don't you think that it's a bit hypocritical?
All this leads me to another question, why do you run away so quickly from honesty while running equality as quickly to dishonesty? Yes I know it's human nature to want to follow the words you want to hear or the image you want to believe but I ask you, what's more important? You all wonder why so many relationships fail and why you get your hearts broken so often yet never once do you consider the fundamental reasons why that is? Let's face it we all want to follow what we would "LIKE" to believe rather than what really "IS".
Something to ponder on isn't it?
