Listen up LCA members! 

It has come to the attention of the mediators of this board 
that some of you need some advice. They've asked me to help.

I don't claim to be a head shrinker, or a love doctor of any kind. 
  What I DO claim to be is a gal who's been around the block a time or two. 
Oh, I've had relationships of all kinds, and seen a ton of others in action,
so I've learned a few things about how the 
opposite sexes interact with each other. 
I see good people behind bad profiles a lot, but what I see most if lack 
of understanding in one?s self. If you ever want to find what you're
 looking for, you have to know what that is. You'll have the opportunity 
to ask questions later, but for now I'm going to just settle for 
pointing out what I deem as obvious to me. I'm just going to give you a 
few pointers on your profiles, to start. My first piece of advice for 
all users is DO NOT LIE. You will eventually be found out. 
Don't think that somebody is going to grow to like you so much via 
cyberspace that they will ignore an untruth; especially a big one. 
Besides, we all want somebody to love and respect us, exactly as we are.
If that's indeed what you're looking for, then that is what 
you should represent. We are all insecure on some level. We all worry that 
we're too fat, or crass, or something else that may be a dealbreaker. 
Doesn't matter. Nobody's perfect, and if you're honest about your flaws, 
there's a better chance of finding somebody that adores the real you.
The next thing I want to address is some of these pictures. Do you want a 
relationship or a one night stand. You should pose accordingly. 
If a guy/girl is only seeing your flesh, then that's 
all they're thinking about. The rest of you is irrellavent to them once 
they see your valuables hanging out. 
If that's what you want, fine, but if not, I suggest you 
COVER YOURSELVES a bit. Now, there is the pretend factor.
Let's all stop putting up a profile that we think will 
appeal to the other gender that has nothing to do with who you really are. 
I'm just going to be frank here. Not that many women dig sports and not 
that many guys enjoy long walks on the beach. 
Again, if you're the exception, keep it up there. If not, 
then you may refer back to my first piece of advice about deception.  
Try to remember that eventually the person that answers your 
profile may want to meet?they may find out you lied, then what?
   Now, let's talk about what we're really seeking here. 
What do you plan to do with the rest of your life? 
What kind of person do you think would want to do that with you? 
You don't have to have everything in common, but you do have to 
share some common ground. 
Also, don't date people that don't fall into your basic perameters. 
It's a waste of your time and theirs. If you don't want kids, 
why would you date a person who already has them? 
If you don't go to church, why would you date somebody who does? 
A person's homelife and personal beliefs are a huge 
part of who they are. If you don't have the basics in common, 
there's a slim chance that your relationship can survive. 
Lastly, let's talk about spelling and grammer. Take a few moments 
and review your profile, see if you sound like you have a brain. 
I've noticed that men are especially guilty of the all caps idiocy, 
but there are some women out there too. 
I don't mean to say that you should stay up sweating
the placing of one measly little comma all night either.
    All I'm saying is that you should try to present your real self 
by the way you write as well as what you say.  
Put in a little effort so you sound coherent, at the very least.
Ok, LCA users. I'm open for questions of all kinds. 
I'm here to help! We can talk about sex, 
love, kids, dating, clothing, ANYTHING. 
So, I'm all ears, people, how can I help?
In the meantime, good luck looking for love.
