If you're that busy, why are you "looking" for a relationship?
Is "being busy" some sort of a status symbol?
Good point. They will suddenly stop being busy if Mr Right crashed the party. Count on that.
OTOH, I am sure that "being busy (mysterious)" thing got stolen from one of those silly PUA sites from way back when. The idea was to give the illusion to everyone that doesn't give a flip that you are such an allegedly happenin' person and aren't home on any Friday or Saturday night. EVAR. Because who wants to give others the idea that they crash at home once in a while?
I seen some girls say..........."I have 2 jobs" like they are bragging about it.
Two jobs mean you are struggling
Two jobs, 15 hours each still equates to 30 hours per week, which is still less than one full-time job. They never say how many hours these multiple jobs are sucking from their lives, often less than the 70 hour weeks I was working. My cousin pulls this card all the time, "I have 4 jobs, yadda, yadda." Makes me eyeroll in my head.
"Busy" is a euphemism for wanting an easy way out of dating someone they are not interested in. If he/she is interested in you, all that busy is eliminated.
Just ignore such profiles unless they contact you. That always worked for me. In fact, about 95% of profiles can be skipped for one or more reasons, which makes it easy to focus on the few worth pursuing.

Of course not. Being a very busy person often means that you have limited time to spend going OUT, LOOKING for possibilities as far as a relationship.. Going online is easier for those people as they can search and get preliminary info while they are at home. I know..I am one of those "very busy" people. Online was a great option for me. That is one of the main reasons that online sites are so popular now. Many of us just have ridiculously full lives. And I wanted anyone that might be interested, to know that I have a fairly full plate...so I'm not looking for someone that needs attention 24/7!!
Um, I am busy. I own a house that requires maintenance. My job is a minimum of 50 hours a week. I have a lot of friends. I have a dog I'm training for competition and taking classes with. I'm on a pub trivia team. I enjoy creative writing and reading books. And now that it's spring and my injuries from the autumn have healed, my workout regime is starting up again.
I've never specifically state it in my online profile that I'm "busy," but I make it pretty clear my life has a lot going on in it. I will carve out time in my life for another person, for sure, but I'm not going to be expecting to be texting all day or talking on the phone for hours or seeing someone several times a week.
My current relationship is a little TOO hands-off for me (he's just as busy as I am), but that's way better than being with someone who I have to constantly turn down because they want to spend every moment together.
