"They won't help you find the right match. Be careful about using terms that are subjective and relative, like "down to earth," as others may not agree. Phrases such as "make me laugh" can come across as orders when you should be doing something mutually. Instead of indirectly bragging about yourself in a vague manner, use specific examples to show who you are."
"1. "I go with the flow." Yeah, so does whatever is in a toilet. Unless you are fine with just everything and anything (and few people are), instead specify what is and isn't important to you. 2. "I'm down to earth." What are you? A flowerpot? This is a very subjective term that usually means that you're practical or unpretentious. As long as you have some kind of designer, foo-foo, do-you-really-need-that luxury in your life, there will always be people more "down-to-earth" than you are."
There are many overused catchphrases on dating profiles that reveal little about a person. Vague statements like "I go with the flow" or "I'm down to earth" fail to communicate values, preferences, or lifestyle boundaries. Phrases such as "make me laugh" can read as demands rather than mutual intentions. Listing general sayings like "consistency is key" does not show concrete behavior or interests. Better profile language uses specific examples, describes likes, dislikes, and must-haves, and clarifies what is and isn't important. Clear, concrete details help others assess compatibility more accurately than empty catchphrases.
