Hiding something? Time to edit your profile

What does your profile say about you? Anything? Nothing?

Does it say that you want to succeed. Everyone here does, so that doesn't set you apart from others, so why even say it?

Does it say you're glad you found WA? Everyone of us are. We're tired of scams and programs that do nothing for us, so why say it?

Does it say you have a wife? Now we're getting somewhere. That somewhat sets you apart and tells us something about you. Only some men and a few of the women have wives, so we know a bit about you. The same goes for husbands.

Kids? Ya, they're incentive to succeed because you certainly need money for them.

How about where you are from? I have a few friends here on WA and I have read all of their profiles. Where do you think they are from? Damned if I know, only about 1 in 10 tell you in their profile and I can't here them talk to guess by their accent. We have a couple of countries represented here at WA. Perhaps they have a wider spectrum of living and figure that we all live on the World Wide Web.

I'd like to know where you live, and your age. If your young I can ask you questions that involve technology and expect a fairly correct answer. If your old, we can talk about the young people that know all the stuff about technology. And women, you can tell your age, after all, this isn't a dating service.

What's your background? What are your interests? Are you involved in special activities...sports, musical groups, garage bands, help with special Olympics, belong to organizations. We want to know about you, not just to get to know you, but to know who we can pick up information from or who might profit from our information.

Don't treat your profile lightly. Use a decent photograph that actually shows your face. There are pictures that are so bad that it's your guess whether it's an ugly grumpy guy with no eyes or mouth standing in front of a bright light, or a hippopotamus lumbering into the sunset. Using an avatar does nothing either. It's really hard to pose a serious question to someone who poses as a puppy or a pansy. Let us see what you look like and today, not when you graduated from high school 40 years ago. Be yourself, we're all friends attempting to make a little money on the web. Use a clear photo of your face, we won't laugh, honest!
