Bipolared suggested that we have a thread about the MLCer's dating profiles and I agree - it should provide a few laughs.
I am sure there are many of you out there that have seen your MLCer' dating profile at some point so share if you want or just get a good laugh at the profiles.
-
Would we get in trouble do you think, or is it ok to post without names or pics?
-
This is roughly 1 - 1 1/2 old - I have no idea what he has out there now. I think this was on OkCupid:
How about I show you my honor, honesty and accountability; you show
me yours, then we go from there?
I am affectionate, authentic, amiable, curious, happy, intelligent,
loyal, rational, reliable, sincere, warmhearted and, under the right
circumstances, egregious. I value truth over most else and I am not
the heathen I appear to be.
Among other things, I enjoy exploring new places, visiting museums /
art exhibitions, and attending shows/live music. The activity is very secondary to the company.
I'm looking for a connection with a woman who is intelligent, loving
and true. I want to build trust, find passion and develop a mutually
enriching exchange. I want to provide strength, support and
encouragement as I receive them in return.
I want to feel that swelling of love and gratitude in my heart. I want
to ignite you, distract you, understand you, know you, give you hope
and make you know it's all possible.
Partner in crime? Really?!? That's a thing? You typed that? That's
great. And you like to laugh?!?! The hell you say? I hate that laughing sh!t... tried it once; it sucked.
What I’m doing with my life.Don’t overthink this one; tell us what you’re doing day-to-day.
Saving lives and grubbing money.
I’m really good at
Predicting the future.
Debauchery.
The first things people usually notice about me
I haven’t a clue... Perhaps my unrelenting love of Socratic irony?

No names or pictures.
I have posted this on my thread before around the time that I saw it.
-
Mine says he never visited any dating sites. Yeah right! He only visited scout and another gross one to meet sex whor..
I think im going to vomit reading these lies. ::)
They really do tell some whoppers. It would be funny to hack the accounts and change them.
-
Oh gosh this funny. The things they say on their bio. You brought back so many memories of what my H did that first year after bd.
Mine said he has been divorced for about a month (he was still married) and didn't want to get into a serious relationships but just wanted to meet some new people to have some fun.
The funniest things was he said his good traits were: He was loyal, trustworthy, and honest.
I was seriously shocked. ::)
This was NOT my H talking.
I think that first year he was so off the wall crazy it's hard to relate the man he is now to the crazy he was then.
I just wonder if he remembers any of this.
-

River, I was sooo tempted to do that when mine was at home. Something like "I enjoy checking this site while my wife brings me coffee in bed". The only thing that stopped me was being able to continue gathering info.
-
This is why I don't think that I can do online dating - I read people's profiles and I want to run!
-
sheesh s4a and bp...
searching, your MLCer knows some big words...
bp, when i was reading your MLCer's profile, i thought he had put down that he "drools a lot"
wow! this is insanity. i have never even looked at any kind of dating site. now i'm not going to.
and yes--interesting that both gents feel like they're sooooooo trustworthy. what a hoot!
just wow!

Too bad his words and actions don't match!
He thinks using big words makes him smart.
-
Ladies (and gentlemen), a word of advise and caution.
The main board, where this thread is, is public. Anyone can read it.
Even without name and photos you are sharing another person personal info without their consent.
You would not like your MLCer to share your info, and posts, on the board, would you?
It also raises safety questions. Name and photo may not be here, but it is very simple to find someone with the info you are posting.
Sharing said info on your personal threads may not be right, but it gets diluted inside the thread. Here it stands out and is easily targeted.
-
Perhaps we should delete? Entertaining for a little while, anyway.
-
Yes, I think it would be best. And safer.
-
Anjae - do what you think is best with this thread. It may not be tha right tone for the forum anyway.
I have no concern about sharing the profile - it was a public profile for all the world to see.
-
Couldn't care less what ex does or if found here.
So:
His profile:
I am a free spirit, a man of great dreams.
Few understand me.
For that reason I am often misunderstood.
I should have been born in a different time.
I am most similar to the great thinkers of the 18th century.
Honest
True
Passionate
Romantic
Strong
Manly
I speak 5 languages but prefer to converse in Russian.
I want to share the great novels and tragedies of Russian history with someone who can feel their passion.
I want to enjoy great classical music.
I look to share my love of history with an eager mind.
As you can tell from my photograph, I am an expert and accomplished body builder.
Therefore I cannot tolerate smokers or drinkers.
A clean body is necessary to commune with me.
I wish to find someone who fights for peace in the same way I do.
Someone bohemian, free spirited who can also understand the true meaning of the lyrics of the Foo Fighters.
Someone who can feel their music as I do.
I want to find someone to help me heal the devastation inflicted on my very soul by the cruel fates and a woman who could not love me as I loved her.
A woman to help me enjoy life again.
My ex had a brain tumor and has become someone I cannot love any longer, as she is not healthy nor happy. And my soul can take no more.
PUKE PUKE PUKE
-
The whole thing sounds comically pompous but is that bit about the Foo Fighters for real?
Another thing that struck me was that my H could be really charming and funny but his profiles and emails he sent to some of the women were so lame. I guess they really do have multiple personalities.
-
Yes, the Foo Fighters is real. Suddenly he lived their music.
I thought it screamed MLC train wreck.
And this was while he was hot and heavy with the little girl.
The pompous a$$ put freedom fighter as his occupation.
-
You gotta love a man who is like a great thinker of the 18th century but needs a soulmate to explore Dave Grohl's wisdom. I am speechless.
-
When I was shown that profile by a mutual friend I laughed too hard to be upset that he was trolling dating sites.
And he thinks I'm the one that had a brain tumor?
And if I did have a tumor, what woman would want a man who left a sick wife? Yep that's an attractive quality in a future mate.
And just how much dies a freedom fighter earn and where would one find a job opening in that field?
Pompous A$$.
No wonder he had to stick with a little girl with mental health issues. She's the only one that would find that profile intriguing.

That^^^^. OMG, I'm still laughing.....
-
You Bipolared have a wonderful sense of humor !
-
I didn't put anything out here that would allow anyone to know who my X is. He is no longer on the dating site anyway.
It was just general stuff but if everyone wants to delete this discussion I'm ok with it.
It WAS funny comparing notes, though. ;D
Love the loyal and trustworthy parts. LOL
-
You Bipolared have a wonderful sense of humor !
Thanks LP, I enjoy yours as well. We certainly need it, don't we?
-
Lawprofessor, I have referred to my Hs OW as "Little Girl" (OW was 20 at BD) and he absolutely hates it. ;D
-
MrsCoco, mine hates it as well! Sometimes the truth hurts I guess. In my case OW was 23. She appears to be about 12 however as she is tiny. She has the figure of a young boy as well, meaning she has no hips or bust. Additionally, she wears her hair in pigtails on the sides of her head. Ex is now 50 btw. Once he posted a picture of the two of them on FB. ONE of our colleagues from Europe commented,
"What a cute picture of you and your daughter. Just wait until she is old enough to drive and date."
I laughed so hard I had tears when the picture promptly was taken down. The next time we spoke I asked him how his daughter was....smoke rolled out of his ears.
When the OW is so obviously a train wreck mismatch it is easy to understand they are no threat and MLC is real. Mine is nothing more than a sad stereotypical old man who could not even do this one thing in an original manner.
Best, LP
-
I wish my OW was an obvious train wreck. However she does go out with a man who didn't seem to care that his kids spent the weekend with no heat, lights, or running water.
-
My MLCer's POF profile said he was looking for fun and no drama. Then he said he's 44 years old and can make his own decisions. (or something like that). I thought it was very revealing. Can't believe there were women who jumped at that.
