It's all about covering up a short coming or an insecurity by telling people that you don't have it.
I roll my eyes and sigh deeply everytime I read a profile or an email that says.. "I am real" or "I don't play games" or "I am honest"
When the truth is... "I will never ever meet you or anyone else, because I just want to jerk/rub while reading emails" or
"I will try to play every possible mind game I can think of, and when I realize that you aren't going to fall for them, I will call you names and say you are fake" or
"I don't know the difference between the truth and my ass, and if you catch me in a lie I will just try to lie my way out of it"
What makes people think that declaring that they are or are not something makes it true?

Maybe they're trying to convince *themselves*?

I've found that those who feel compelled to tell me how honest, real, blah, blah, blah, they are, are in fact the biggest bullshitters of them all.
To quote The Bard: " The lady doth protest too much, methinks". Or men in this case.

It is one thing to mention that certain values are important to you, and it is quite another to go on and on about having that value...
My mom gave me one piece of advice, "If someone tells you 'trust me I'm a Christian', watch out for the knife in your back or the wallet in your pocket"
There is a certain poster here that goes on and on about how honest they are... it makes me wonder about how true that is. I tend to find people that go on and on about such things do protest too much, and i do not find them credible to be honest (no pun intended with that last word on my post[:D])

Fortunately we are Very Lucky in that no one on this side of the board is like that. (but then i could be wrong)

It is a combination of quick thinking illogical stupid thought process that the person never examines and the on going never ending attempt of many men on the other side and a significant amount of men on this message board to try to make tangible statements about intangible things that in their minds can somehow get them to be officially acknowledge as being better then people they have never met.
I never cringed as much as yawned when a person would write things like I am real, intelligent, honest and safe unlike all the others. First who does not think of themselves as real, intelligent, honest and safe. Second who is going to admit if they are not one of these things anyway.
To me it is just short sightedness in the attempt to shortcut the process. It is living in a vacuum where in their own little world they are better then everyone else and darn it why cannot all the women on the site understand that.
It simply always amazes me that men think they can attract a woman by taking basic human qualities that another has to see in them and that it is something that separates them or their insistence and hopeless denial that all the other men on the site are total losers.
People are attracted for what they are and not for what others are not in that person’s eyes.
