I’m in a world where the internet is a part of our culture and with many social networking sites, I come across a lot of guys who shoot me messages asking if I could tell them more about myself. Well, I like to believe usually in an about me section- you’d find out a bit about the person and figure out what else there is you’d want to know. Well, more and more on Facebook AND MySpace I’m running into the same thing over and over again: “You’re beautiful,” or “Your eyes and smile tell so much.”

Okay, I agree but there’s really nothing I can tell you about me. For some it comes easy but for me, it’s not that easy.

I’m usually the one who can show you what I’m about  as opposed to telling you what I’m about. I can also say this, I’m not in social networking looking for a relationship.

I received a message at one time where someone asked me to tell them more about me.  He like everyone else mentions that there’s something about my eyes and smile that showed so much but knew it was only something that it was something that existed on the surface and he wanted to know more.

I didn’t say much in reply except for, “Eyes… A wonderful thing! Smile… even more wonderful. Not only are the two beautiful gifts to me from God- they’re powerful and effective in many ways! My personality is pretty much what you see is what you get BUT I’m more shy than I am outgoing. I’m simple yet complicated. I’m nice yet rude. I’m loving yet mean. I’m just me

Again, I really I don’t know how to really TELL folks about me all I can say is I’m allowing you to SEE who I am. I believe anyone can TELL you about themselves and at times those same people fail to really have their self descriptions match their character.

There’s something that’s always stayed with me: Your word description of self oftentimes match your character but nine times out of ten your character should speak for itself and there are no words needed.

It’s unfortunate that in today’s society and with social networking becoming more and more popular everyday, we as humans are so caught up in initially seeing only the surface that we fail to nitpick which includes looking past the photos and making a stop somewhere around the about me section and sometimes even paying attention to random posts that are made. When we take time out to do those things, we tend to find out more about an individual before saying I want to get to know you based off what I see in your pictures.

I know… I know… everyone’s not like me, but I do those things. I make it my business to check out the person’s page and then I proceed in asking specific questions based on what I’d like to know in specific.

I encourage not only men, but women too to ask specific questions so you can receive specific answers and not broad ones.

If there’s anything you want to know from me, ask a specific question and I’ll give you a specific answer and NOT ignore you!
