They usually have something like "skinny, slender, average, athletic, a few extra pounds, more to love, big and beautiful" and it's kind of hard for me to decide. I usually put average. If not, athletic. I am more athletic than most of my friends. But it is a problem because I'm not even two-thirds the weight of the average american woman! thanks to my being 5'4 I weigh 96 pounds, which is still kinda underweight. I just try to put my height on there and my weight, because I think we've all heard enough internet dating horror stories to know tricking people doesn't really work for a good relationship. aka they must be desperate. yeah, on online profiles (social networking & dating sites) is the body type thing.

You didn't address the title of your post - what DOES "curvy" mean to men of the internet? I get having photos up, that should be a given, but before you even get to the point of looking at profiles, you search based on characteristics - so if "curvy" to you means fat, then you'll never see my profile pop up (listed as "curvy" because I am, in fact, hourglass shape, and was told by girlfriends that "curvy" means boobs.) So am I doing it right, or not? :) So…wait. You didn’t address the title of your post – what DOES “curvy” mean to men of the internet?

Most of the women seem pretty honest but it's funny if they have larger cups their profile pic has to be with a titty shirt. Still surprised from what appears To be a lot of honest and good ads or maybe they all had someone writing it for them. I am just surprised that people would put up pictures that does not represent them selves. If you are serious about finding one it would have been like starting out on a lie. I think pictures of things you love to do with yourself in it makes sense. Still in general men tend to put a lot more "restrictions" to how a date should look like. The very few who does not stress that comes acrosse as much more genuine. Too young for me but some quite good ones in the 30-35 range. ;-) My sister is on one of those dating sites and having snooped around reading her matches…all I can conclude that if I ever go one on of those sites it will be more like “The Lowered Expectations” dating service from Mad-TV.

This advice about pictures is great and very true. I have to admit that I usually thought the other way round. I tried hard to get this "first date" and then tried to "convince" her of my qualities. Which eventually led me to really hate those first dates... Okay, I know better now....

I used to be guilty of mispresenting myself on the internet and guess what? I needed to create more lies to cover up who I actually am... I realized that it was dragging me down emotionally... So, I quit and delete all the contacts that I made online to start anew... And you know what? It's not after I did this, that I started to see my social life in reality changed. =) Great advice you have there, David! I used to be guilty of mispresenting myself on the internet and guess what?
