Status: offline 		There's a HUGE difference between lying and leaving out.  To put in one's profile that one is single, then, after you've met someone, to say that you are married isn't the same as simply not mentioning it right away (although I think it SHOULD be mentioned right away)  Actually, I think all of those should be mentioned pretty quickly after meeting someone; however, I really HATE it when someone lies about his age and or marital.relationship status.  That's an automatic block from me.

It's the consequences that can be a real motherfucker.

Height and weight could be left out of a profile as well as health/STD status. Those things can all be discussed very early on without much wailing or gnashing of teeth. Martial status should be in included in a profile if you are married, in my opinion.

Status: offline 		Since BDSM relationships are built on trust, and lies erode trust, the two obviously don't mix.  If you are talking about your own profile then you decide what to fill in.  If you don't want someone to know your weight or height then don't fill them in.  That's a lot better than lying about it.  A person doesn't need to put in their profile whether or not they are married but if they have a prospective partner they should tell them privately very early on in case it is a show stopper.  I don't think it is advisable for the average person to put in their profile their medical history; again, if it is something that could be disruptive it should be shared privately and early on. 

If you are complaining about the profiles of others - people will do what they want to do.  You'll never be able to stop that just by feeling that they are in the wrong.

Status: offline 		I think anyone who reads a profile, and expects that profile to be representative of the entire person - is  borish.  On so many levels.  For those that are seeking, a profile is a marketing tool, nothing more.  Some use the tool effectively, others don't.  Anyone who expects the profile to do their work for them, is either lazy or too busy to to do the research necessary to determine if what they are being sold is of any value.  If I spent all my time focusing on the men who think
this: <----------8 measures up to 8 inches, and their height measures up to the full 2 extra inches they put on their profile; I'd be as unreasonably pissy as the OP seems to be. 

I never expect full disclosure on a profile.  If I find that what was disclosed was false, or what wasn't disclosed should have been,  it is likely going to be a deal breaker - unless of course I choose for it not to be.

Status: offline 		It's ok to leave any or all information off a profile, it's not a legal document, but a page on an internet dating site.

i leave stuff off mine, but then i have a photo on it, so some of the stuff i don't fill in is obvious from the pic, so am i a liar for the omissions?

People can omit any or all information from an internet site for many reasons, the most common being that people could influence a court decision on custody of children by recognising a friend or spouse or co-worker from their own description. Others need some form of anonymity for equally valid reasons.

Is it lying not to put up a current pic of ones self too?

me, i put on what i am comfortable with, and then am honest to a fault in conversation. Am i a liar?

Status: offline 		I don't think these things necessarily need to be part of a profile, however, if you start corresponding with someone & it looks like either of you is interested in anything more than a passing conversation, for me, I think it is best to get these & other particulars out of the way very early on, in the getting to know a person stage, & by early, definitely before meeting someone. 

It may not matter to the person, but then again, it might & if it matters to them, I don't really understand why someone would want to continue with that person at all. Why not just be honest, & if these things won't work for the other person, move on to someone that will suit you better.

Status: offline 		 let's just say there's always a tendency to view tape measures and scales with- shall we say- rose colored glasses on the going in area...  and some of that is a bit to be expected...  but compared to other Sites where 44D lists out as "average body" or 250Lb, 5'7" Dom classes as "average", this one runs fairly reasonably...   and before antone jumps on me, yes, there are major exceptions just like the rest of life...

as to the rest- certain items sometimes DO take a bit of explaination...  but then. some people can't read anway...
