This is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek post for those online daters who just really need a chuckle. The following contain a little bit of humor as well as a little bit of reality. Overall, they illustrate that what you read in a profile is not always what you get with the person behind it.

First up, this humorous entry from InnocentEnglish.com that translates what some keywords in online dating profiles really mean.

Next, we have a blog from Torto and Friends that lists one person’s translation of what certain keywords really mean.

From ApprovedArticles.Com we have this more serious article the breaks down common profile phrasing and then gives translations and advice about the phrases.

The design section of this t-shirt ad from Zazzle.com further illustrates commonly misleading statements found in online profiles.

*Note: I am in no way affiliated with Zazzle.com and I am not encouraging the purchase of this t-shirt by linking to it in this post. I have included it in the post purely for entertainment purposes.

In my own life I have most commonly seen the misleading use of the terminology related to body build, incorrect ages listed, misleading statements revolving around marital status, and misleading statements regarding what type of a relationship (if any) the person in question is seeking.

Today’s Question: What are the top three words or phrases that you have found to be most commonly misused/to be misleading in online dating profiles?
