No Time

How many times have you started to email someone and all of a sudden they start sending you emails that aren’t complete sentences and sentences that have incomplete thoughts. More than likely you noticed that when he answered the profile questions he didn’t take the time to complete them.

If you are in contact with a guy that seems more comfortable with IM communication because he can send short sweet sentences but, he is not willing to ever send a nice email.
Again, remember that this is the courtship phase. If he can't muster the energy to type complete sentences, his inaction might spell P-A-S-S.

Not Really

While a man who posts no photos might literally be otherwise engaged, a man who is posed arm in arm with a gorgeous babe who is clearly not a sibling -- well, he's probably a player. How many times have you seen a picture posted and you can see that he has cropped the picture so that you cannot see that there was a woman in the pictures? Problem is he forgets that her arm was in it. If you see a picture on his profile of a niece or nephew than chances are he wanted you to know that he is a sweet loving guy. Don’t let it fool you. Men will go as far as borrowing someone’s kid or dog for a picture to appeal to a certain type of woman. You can't take everything in the profile at face value. Ask now so you won't regret later.

Cynical

A man who rants at the opposite sex in a forum where he's trying to promote his soft, appealing side is flashing a bright red flag. Don't blindly charge ahead; sidestep this joker and move on to the next profile.

Anytime you read a profile and it is filled with what they hate and how bad their last relationship was run the other way. You would be surprised how many men will call his ex a bitch or talk about how awful she was to him, right over a forum or on his profile. If he doesn’t have enough class to keep his dirty laundry in a bag, than chances are he wants this drama. Steer clear of him.


The Point

Pay close attention when you read someone’s profile. There is no way for you to know everything about a person just from reading a profile, but you can certainly catch a lot from reading it with a find tooth comb. Unless this person is a complete liar, their profile and the way they communicate with you is a sure sign of what they will be like when it comes to dating offline. Don't read your emails through rose-colored glasses. What would be obvious red flags to an unconcerned observer is often overlooked by correspondents who don't use their perception skills. If you read between the lines, his personality is laid out for you in black and white.
