profilicity
a mechanism of identity creation which Hans-Georg
Moeller and Paul D’
Ambrosio in You and Your Profile, have termed profilicity, is closer related to
sincerity than
authenticity. profilicity is other-directed and reliant on the reactions of an audience. With sincerity, one’s family and community are the audiences that cast judgment on how sincerely, or properly, one plays the pre-determined roles.Online social media being the audience instead of family and local community causes people to be less authentic and more conforming to online profile expectations.
temptation is to do what gets likes, subscribers, and followers.
Authenticity is not other-directed because your mirror is the audience. self-creation is independent of pressure to get likes and subscribers and followers. The more humble self-creation is creating the authentic self. Lead me not into temptation.sincerity is not as authentic because the audience is others and unknowingly we all wish to conform and be accepted so we adapt to what is expected. Success at being sincere builds EGO and shrinks humility for it comes with the praise of the audience.

the act of
tracking people down via online tools or any other tools to find out more information about a person. Typically this word is used to describe males who are trying to find more information about females they have met or are attracted to. Though woman have been known to profile men. Not to be confused with
stalking where the difference lies in the intent.
Stalkers and stalking is normally used to describe people who track people down normally with evil intent, like trying to murder them, annoy them, rape them, etc...profilers are above this kind of behavoir.
Example:
Hey
Daniel did you hear about Ryan? He met this girl Karen yesterday at Club
Mood and didn't get her number but he profiled her on
myspace and found out that she has two kids!
Profiling
by TenshitheGuardian on Oct 05, 2010 05:11:26
Basically
stereotyping for police. It's when an officer think a person is
committing some sort of crime simply because they are of a certain race, culture, etc.
And as
Ron White would say it, it is wrong.
Profilism
by Tom Beline on Apr 26, 2008 03:14:16
An affliction or disorder of the outline or contour of the human face, especially when viewed from the side, that impairs another's judgement of the
afflicted's relative attractiveness. Those who suffer from
profilism are often attractive when viewed from the front.
Example:
(
sample dialogue)
Man 1: Did you see that new girl in the office next door?
Man 2: Yeah, she is NOT attractive.
Man 1: No check her our from the front,
I'm telling ya - she just suffers from
profilism.
