absolutely. its much better to leave at least something to the imagination. if they wanna meet you, you wanna have something left to talk about dont you! good luck xox

honesty=good

It’s not. You would be one of the few being real.

There is no such thing as being too honest. But there is such thing as too much information. It could be a bad thing because some people get offensive about certain things. You shouldnt lie though.

Ya know, I want to say no, because I would be so honest, that I would make myself look like an Ogre or something. All I see are my flaws. However, I suggest you have your friends and family write a description of you, and use that info in your ad. You are now being honest from another point of view, not your own critical one. Other people see things in you that you don’t recognize in yourself. Focus on those things.

When I had mine on a dating site (I am now married to someone i met on a site) . I ws honest, and I foud a wonderful gal/wife/best friend because of it. So, it can’t hurt to be honest.

yes, people should always hide their character flaws. If they date, and fall in love, then those flaws can come back slowly and be accepted.

You can not be too honest.

However, some things are best left to be disclosed after you start to get to know someone.

For example: the fact that you have just had gastric bypass surgery should be left out and disclosed later. Instead, mention that you have worked very hard to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle.

Example 2: Mention now that you have brothers and sisters, but only after you are starting to get comfortable (but before beginning a romantic relationship) should you disclose that one of theme is in prison for a sex crime.

These examples are based on actual people that I know or have known who used on-line personals ads.

Also, never include photos of your children in a personals ad. I used to have a rule that I would not answer an ad if there were pictures of the children. This will attract molestors. I did not wish to date women who were okay with the fact that molestors may be replying to the ad.

I had several relationships that worked out using Yahoo Personals and Lavalife. One that did not work out introduced me to the woman who is now my wife and the mother of my children.

Always be completely honest, but keep a few things a mystery until you have established trust.

WELL, I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE HONEST THEN EVERYONE KNOWS WERE THEY STAND, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY THEY ONLY FIND OUT LATER THEN ITS OVER,
