Online Dating Profiles come and go, people find boyfriends and girlfriends and checkout of the dating scene for a while, some never to return, others just go dark with their profiles until that relationship ends and they are ready to start again, like Taylor Swift’s song; Blank Space. Still there are other more bizarre things happening with the online dating profiles. Let’s talk
You see, not long ago, a nice gal confided in me that she was fed up with online dating. She asked me; “Have you come across people who have more than one profile, appearing as different individuals, but really the same person?”
Yes, but whenever I see that I feel it is a scam, same pictures on different profiles, they probably borrow the pictures from someone else too. As far as other places, I find writers do this because they have more than one specialty and don’t want to confuse or dilute their brand. I have used a pen name before, but don’t bother anymore, so I understand why, but I think that is the wrong way to play it, not just for moral reasons, but rather if everyone does that, then we end up allowing society to categorize us as one thing or another, rather than see the diversity in each individual, thus it does a disservice to the unique’ness of the “one” over the comfort of the many – philosophically speaking of course. Then my acquaintance explains her question deeper;
“I was really referring to two different profiles, two different sets of pics, appearances of two different individuals completely. It’s a total subterfuge. I’m always surprised at the games people play — it’s SO hard to keep my story straight when I’m telling the truth because life is complex.”
Yes, I’ve observed that scenario also, almost as if it is a Chat Bot or Artificial Intelligent program creating profiles. I’ve also heard of scorned women having two profiles so they can check up on their cheating boyfriend, gals have told me they’ve done that. On LinkedIn people make fake profiles so they can post comments in the forums under assumed names to make it look like people agree with them or more people disagree with you. It’s a political game they play too during elections. “Humans and Deception” seem to go hand-in-hand, nothing surprises me and as someone once said; nothing is as it seems.
What happened to the old days when dating was so much simpler? Well my friend those days are gone forever welcome to the Matrix!
