I may not be as right as I normally am. We have been doing a lot of discussion over online dating profiles and the way that we should or shouldn’t be presenting ourselves. I think I may be guilty of doing a little white lying on my profile as well. Yup, I’m not actually a D cup. Of course, I’m joking…I actually am but size doesn’t matter. But the truth is that I have been painting a less than accurate portrait of myself.
The pictures I post online are carefully selected to portray what I THINK women want but my thinking may be wrong. At least, that’s what I’ve been told. The truth is that I don’t really know what women want. So, I guess at it based on what I would want. And I also want to let women know that I clean up nice and can be presentable. So, I may be doing a little bait and switch myself and for the same reason that Tiffany pointed out.
Now, I’m not saying that my pictures are a blatant lie just a lie of omission. The truth is that there is an entirely different side of my life that I don’t display publicly because I don’t think it’s attractive. I’m a construction worker and I normally come home from work covered in dust and debris. I don’t think that women would find this attractive because I’m not exactly looking for a woman who comes home sweaty and covered in dirt.
It turns out that some women think that construction workers are kinda hot. But, my profile pictures may not be appealing to those women and instead I may be attracting the attention of women who are appalled by men with callouses who get covered in construction debris. I don’t lie about my profession, people know that I am a construction worker. But the people who know me from the internet might not know what that looks like. Imagine what would happen if I really hit it off with a woman on a first date only to find out that she is a clean freak and wouldn’t let me come home from work at all. After all, my goal is to have my last first date
