So much truth to this - great point. I call them shape-shifters.

Never gave that a thought. Just always figured they were boring.
If they can actually type long enough to tell pretty lies they might be worth responding to just to toy with them during really dull days.
(No, I'm not going to bother. I still see them as boring)

LOL. I don't think I have it on my profile but I remember I always say when we I am messaging them to just ask me what they want to know. I never ever answer "I'll tell you later". I answer the question. I don't think "I'll tell you later" is acceptable at all. Why don't you just answer the freaking question. It's not rocket science, I presume?

It would definitely not make me not waste my time on them anymore if they give me that non answer. Bye Felicia.

As a guy, I would expect this from a gal who has *a lot* of serious baggage, but, who at least in her own mind, is like 9000C HOT, and figures that she can "get an override" on all the deal breakers in person.

When I was 25, that might have worked. OK, in fact, it did work (for a while) a couple of times. But by the time I was 40, naw, that was not going to get you in the door.

I guess the OP but I was referring something she's been told after talking to somebody and before they meet.
I was talking about the blurb that's supposed to accompany photos on profiles.

It's laziness. Can't be arsed to answer a few questions. That would be a no-go for me, personally. But there's someone for everyone.

Thank you for the advice and I'll take it, no matter how good they look in the pictures.

As it is, I have probably four items, if they are in my interest category at all, that are the dropped like a lead potato. That they smoke, that they never drink, that there is something in their profile that clearly says we aren't compatible (voted for Trump, hunt, things like that), or if they list their phone number or other indication that they won't use Match.

That's an interesting set of deal breakers. The smoking, I get. The rest you'd likely drop for the right person in person. Women generally don't like men who exhibit low-t traits. Interesting that you'd DQ a guy smart enough not to use a time/money sink like Match, to be honest. Especially when the odds are against him and the point of an IAC owned dating site is merely to take your money for as long as it can...

I'm not the OP but I think she meant that by putting out an email or phone number they are indicating that they only want to communicate off Match, which usually means sexual conversation or pictures or scamming which might get them reported and their account shut down
