Posted: 9/4/2009 6:37:36 AM | I "reject" guys more often not because of what *is* in their profiles, but normally because of what *isn't*. How they write, how much they write and what they write speaks volumes about their character and personality and whether or not we are on a similar 'wavelength' as to what attracts us in a partner.
If I am not attracted to their profile there is virtually zero possibility I'll be attracted to them in person. Been there done that. Too many times. No longer interested in wasting their time or mine on the "you never know/don't be so dismissive/picky" theory when I know in my gut there is no chance. Not once when I have 'given it a chance' has my gut ever been wrong.
I'll take "rejecting" them based on what is/isn't in their profile and having way less dates than not "rejecting" them just to have a date. I'll take quality over quantity every time. | |

Posted: 9/4/2009 7:57:48 AM | | what someone writes says alot about what he will be like on a date...a guy who begins a profile with ...i like these outdoor things ..is too into his hobbies for a gf..also speaking of family can signal a man who is too wrapped up other things which are not bad but take up too much of a space in his heart to have room for you..if he discusses himself in relation to a female companion then he is truely looking and ready for love. | |

Posted: 9/4/2009 11:19:31 AM | Yes and I have.
There are several things that will make me turn away that women put on their profile. But my biggest pet peeve is about the motorcycles.
You've seen me post about it before. She can be beautiful and sound great until the mention of a Harley motorcycle. I've nothing to complain about the motorcycle itself. It's a fine piece of machinery.
But nothing says "golddigger" like "I like a man to ride me on his Harley" or "I Love Harley's!" or "want a man with a Harley!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
But, that's just my opinion. | |

Posted: 9/4/2009 12:27:22 PM | Of course we reject people because of what's in their profiles:
An atheist isn't going to date someone who references their Christian faith as central; who in turn isn't going to want to date a Wiccan; who isn't going to want to date a hunter; who isn't going to want to date a Vegan; who won't want to date..... | |

Lol. I've had bikes off and on since college, and they're a kick. BUT-
Nascar. Or Jesus. If she's wearing those t-shirts, or shows them on her to-do list, I pass. I believe in informed choices, but this matching thing is difficult, and those two obstacles have just been insurmountable, ime. I could explain, but it'd be long. lol | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 3:27:51 AM | | really, let's see, I have been rejected since I am short, have brown hair, wear glasses, have a masters degree, have had the same job for over 20 years, am not a vegetarian, have an ugly face, have a cute face but am not pretty, do not like NASCAR, hunting or motorcycles, have a sense of humor and can be feisty, am too nice, am too mean, am too fat, am too thin and do not have a huge butt so why do I say I am a larger woman?, am a good cook, do not cook the right things, my mother was not a career woman, my father was college educated...and women are pickier than men? | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 3:35:00 AM | I reject guys for two reasons 1) they are batshit ugly, 2) they can't spell/write/use punctuation correctly...
oh yeah, they have to be really smart too. Sometimes a profile can tell you this, other times you have to figure it out on your own.
I must say I love these honest men: "I don't care if you're fat or skinny, as long as you're a freak..." To each his own. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 4:39:27 AM | I would (and have) reject a woman who puts any of the following interests in her profile: fine dining; fine wine; the finer things in life, traveling around the world, etc.
These women are expect these things and do not appreciate what you do for them. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 8:32:00 AM | | I have been separated for 13 years and I am in no hurry to get a divorce. The divorce is just a piece of paper and $1000.00 bill (if you're lucky it's that cheap). My closure happened a long time ago and until I have a reason to get divorced I'm not forking out the money. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 11:27:32 AM | The profile is the only thing we have to gauge another person.
I have passed up profiles because of long nasty untrimmed beards, age, hobbies, ex-ranting, child support ranting, distance, inability to type a coherent line, disability, certain health problems, obvious hygeine deficits, no job, atheists, smoking bashing. Also drugs, or not enough info on the profile. I figure if they are too lazy to fill in a profile, they arent going to put forth much effort in dating. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 4:55:54 PM | Does "reject" refer strictly to not replying to initial contacts received, or does it include not bothering to contact someone in the first place?
I'm unlikely to contact anyone who is too far away(though my standards on this change from time to time), or anyone who has the "wrong" Looking for....
I'm also unlikely to contact women who list one or more explicit "dealbreakers", whether I meet their standards or not, since they probably have other, unstated, dealbreakers as well.
Having said that, I would probably reply to any woman who sent me an unsolicited message, regardless of anything in her profile, just out of curiosity. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 5:05:06 PM | I reject the women who smoke, promote excessive drinking or pretty much presents herself as a party animal/clubber.
I'm a bit on the cautious side when the girl sounds obsessed with travelling around the world. (don't get me wrong, I want to eventually see other parts of the world too but not to the point of being a focal life goal) | |

Yes, I had women respond to my profile that had hate speech and rules about men on their profile. Automatic delete. In my book that will get you to the curb every time. | |

LOL What???? I have a 2009 Harley and I'm far from rich. I'm well off but I'm no millionaire. For $200 - 300/month you can have one too. I don't call that rich. | |

Posted: 9/8/2009 11:10:44 PM | | It's funny that you would look at it as rejection. It is not rejecting some one to simply decide you have no interest in them based on what is shown on their profile. You don't drink wine so some wino is not interested in you, sounds like a time saver to me. | |

Parties are fine. Clubs are a no no for me until the relationship gets physical. I don't like going to a club and having some dork trying to C-block me everytime I use the bathroom especially on our first few dates. I've been kicked out for giving dudes the beat down over that. Meeting you there is fine but don't expect to go back there with me until we've done the deed together. I'm usually fine after that. | |

Posted: 9/9/2009 8:52:24 AM | Wait, you people read profiles?! What the hell... I thought everyone here either spam messaged all the hotties before CDMing when they're turned down, or just messaged at random. And you people actually read and judge on them? Wow... you people are sick I tells ya! Sick.

Posted: 9/9/2009 12:34:17 PM | | I 'reject' people who don't smoke almost all the time. I know right from the first couple of emails and the questions I ask whether there is potential for a problem regarding it or not and I don't see the point in continuing. | |

yes. I've had guys message me who talked nonstop about smoking pot in his profile. Fine if you want to smoke it but I have no interest in being around you while you're doing it. Also, I've read profiles where the guys were talking about music and said something stupid about 'if you like such and such band, we won't get along." Really? It's just music. | |
