It is a pretty sad profile indeed. Personally, I would be a bit put off. I am not trying to be rude or non caring.

Lanie, you are do right, it's not that I'm cynical, just a little put-off. I don't get it why someone would put that on their profile. Make me think he's not for real, guess I'm just jaded from all the scammers on here. If in fact he is for real, I do feel sorry for him (not pit as chilledice said). I'd have no problem trying to life up his spirits or give him words of encouragement.

I did not mean to disrespect the man and I do admire the fact that he is so upfront. I do wish him the best, but I don't know if he would appreciate the fact that a post was made of him, unless he knew about it.

I'm not sure why this is a "sad" profile. We all have our struggles and barriers to overcome - he's being upfront about his.

Loved your comment laine, I added mine too.

Having a handicapped daughter, it still makes me a little suspicious, my daughter doesn't play on her handicaps in fact she bounds above them, True she is mentally challenged, not physically challenged. But if she saw a good looking guy in the store, she would go up to him and say "Hey, you want to date me?"
She has done this before. Like I said I wish him the best of luck and hope he finds what he's looking for.

I think the point was lost here. The op was a link to his post but whose the person who posted the link and why? I'm not cynical nor am I jaded just cautious and a bit suspicious of the way we were guided to his profile. I have seen other profiles that are of the type where you might scratch your head and say hmmmm. I for one would not advertise those types of details in my profile. I suspect I'm more of a private person about certain things but others are not so, to each his own and more power to him if he's on the up and up.

As the one who originally posted about his profile, I'll say this: Anyone who submits and posts his profile expects that it will be seen by others, so the fact that I made a post about his profile really should not surprise or offend him. On the other hand, I do believe that he is quite naive and inexperienced, and possibly easily hurt, which I think makes his profile a little sadder.

I'm aware, as someone was quick to point out, that the post of mine calling attention to his profile was my first here and therefore should be dismissed as somehow suspect or subversive. But this is now my second post, and I don't believe anyone here has managed to post a second time without having first posted a first time. Should all of our first posts perhaps be deleted as somehow suspect?!

Finally, I don't believe any of the posts about his profile provide any credible evidence at all of the profile poster's honesty, sincerity, or motivation It's all just speculation and generalization and arbitrarily connecting him with some known disreputable or dishonest person. I don't have any evidence either. I stick by my original intuition: It was a pretty sad profile from a fellow who, whatever his honesty, sincerity, or motivation, has been emotionally damaged. I suppose that the antagonisms provoked by the profile have something to do with the infectious ideological spirit of the times which makes anyone different as outcast as the Old Testament's lepers.
