That's kind of the point of a profile after all: "here are traits that I say I have and ideally pictures to demonstrate said traits." "Show don't tell" is all well and good when you have as much space as you need, but I've yet to see a profile expansive enough to give me that kind of picture. Like, I wouldn't expect a single conversation to show me all that much about a person either.
