Why do people put "0" for weight on their personal ads?
Weight is going to fluctuate for everyone - the holidays are proof of this as five pounds have crept on giving yet another New Year's resolution. A few pounds here - a few pounds there... The weight on a personal ad isn't ever going to be spot on.
The importance of weight also tends to fluctuate with the individual. Some people are sticklers about it - and some people have the personalities to make up for a little extra. So - when I see a weight that paints a picture of a little more tummy I usually ask myself, based on the profile, do these people seem like they'd be fun to meet and hang around?
Granted, we all have our preferences and limits, but I think flexibility becomes the rule in the lifestyle.
But - when I see "0" all the wrong thoughts run through my mind:
- I might as well assume a rather high weight
- They aren't very comfortable with themselves - which will affect how fun they'll be as play partners
- They aren't very honest
- They don't believe that there are people out there looking for them, so they hide behind the "0"
Why not at least ball park it? Shave off the same number of pounds you did when you got your last driver's license and toss it up there. After all - it is you.
