Posted: 5/11/2010 10:03:29 AM | | It so has to be when people put in their profile , "must use proper spelling and grammar." Then nine times out of ten, there will always be |some college(usually community)| in their profile. Then rant on talking about improper spelling, and the difference between you're and your. I mean its the internet, not english class. Some people are a bit too anal. A lot of frustrated teachers out there I guess. | |

Nothing worse than a single/bitter teacher with too much time on her hands. | |

Posted: 5/13/2010 10:14:39 PM | I agree with this one, or shirtless taking their pictures with their cell phones or digital cameras.
Or posing in the nude.
Or posting fake pictures of other people's profiles, and taking all their info to yours.
Even if these people suffer from multiple personality disorders, still does not mean they should change their pictures every day to something completely different.
People whom you tell them you're not interested, because of their message to you was crude and graphical that they still persist not getting the *hint*.
There are several others that comes to mind, but these are strong ones that just irks me. | |

Posted: 5/14/2010 3:00:59 PM | I've found a new one. I certainly don't mean my ensuing comments to be a judgment, just an observation. If you are a Christian, please do not put Other Religion, or Non-Religious, in the spot available for stating your stance. I am not alone in my stance that if a man puts Other Religion, or Non-Religious, in that spot, I give his profile a pass.
Recently I was contacted by a very nice man who seemed shocked at my "assumption" that he did not share my values. How could I have thought any different upon seeing Non-Relgious as his stand? We did get to a point where we were going to chat, and maybe see if we could meet some day soon.
I know I may get a lot of flack for my stand, but why pursue something with someone when your core values are not shared? | |

Posted: 5/18/2010 6:11:45 PM | | Hey no picking on us teachers, lol. Spelling and grammar are no indications to me of a person's intelligence, or how interesting they will be. I have however noted wryly a few times those re4questing no spelling mistakes, have made some of their own! | |

Posted: 6/4/2010 12:48:33 PM | People who say they are looking for someone serious or mature, you mail them and they never reply back. How can you truly tell how mature or serious someone is if you don't even take the time to talk to them for five minutes? More importantly you expect someone to be serious before they contact you, but show an absolute lack of it by not contacting the person back. All I read from that is, seen pic - not interested. At least you could be honest about it.
A really close second is photophiles. People who have way too many picture of themselves on their profile and expect the same in return. Everyone looks the same in one pic as they do in the next and I really don't need to see your entire wardrobe. As long as they are recent and visible who cares how many you have or how diverse they are? | |

Posted: 6/6/2010 1:19:55 PM | "you must be 5ft 10 or taller"
POF should consider putting height restrictions in mail settings, so that women don't have to put this quote in their profiles. They complain that men don't read profiles, but I do, and when I spend a few minutes reading one of their lengthy ones, it's only at the end of the last paragraph where I read.. "if you are under 5ft 10, don't even bother contacting me". | |

Posted: 6/12/2010 10:24:40 AM | | People who complain about/judge people who have are on a lot of peoples favorites list. I have no control over who puts me on their favorite list, and have no interest in taking the time to delete myself from other peoples list. It has no reflection on my character because its about decisions others make not me. Methinks that people who complain about this are secretly jealous that their profiles have not prompted other to mark them as one of their favorites | |

Posted: 6/14/2010 5:43:40 PM | The lack of replies, conversation! geeezz we are on here to meet people....if you never reply or reply with 2 words how the hell are you going to get to know a person!
you know I come across many profiles that say this or a variaton of:
'if you see something you like send me a message and lets chat and see where it goes from there....' | |

Posted: 6/20/2010 8:45:58 PM | Profiles without a pic...and their reasoning is always their job...I would like to know what job you have that doesn't allow you to date???? really?????
My opinion.....no pic usually means they are taken and don't want the significant other to find out they are looking.
Also, people who just put "will fill in later". I see you are really serious about finding someone huh?
I don't respond to either. | |

Posted: 8/20/2010 2:01:28 AM | | People who post a profile then you message them and after they see your profile they instantly block you if your real friendly here and contact enough people you will end of with so many blocks you will be kicked off this site | |

Posted: 1/24/2011 1:56:41 AM | any of the following, which are boring, cliches,over used, lack creativity and just plain stupid....
1. " looking for someone honest" - on 9 out of 10 profiles
2. "looking for a good hearted man" - on 4 out of 5 profiles
3. "are there any good men?" - yes, but you're not interested in them
4. "i love my family and friends" - how unique and rare
5. "i love to laugh" - who doesn't?
6. "i'm tired of cheaters and liars" - your own bad choices, maybe if you got over the bad boy thing you could be happy?
7. "are there any real men?" - yes, but they don't look like pitt or clooney
8. "someone who can keep up" - yawn...you couldn't keep up to me on your best day
8. "comfortable in jeans and thongs but able to switch to heels and little black dress" - yeah, whatever
9. stating you're looking for someone "attractive" - really? I myself, want someone ugly
10. " i refuse to settle" - be prepared to be single for a LONG time | |

Posted: 1/26/2011 10:58:29 PM | People that say "looking for someone real"
STOP SAYING THAT! that tells us nothing! what is your idea of real? in fact... what is fake? a person who has had to much plastic cut in to them that they are closer to barbie than a flesh and blood human? or a nice, kind person... or a harsh realist who knows what they want in life... Damn it, out of most things on this site... I think that is in my top 5 most hated things.
on that note... leave a reply to people, even if it is just a nice way of saying "I am not interested"
or if a man tells you in his profile he is looking for a woman, dont ask for a date... even if you dress like a woman.
Oh, if you are pimping yourself out, saying you want a "mate" with a lot of cash...
you know what... I just dont like people that break the rules of POF... read them for #ucks sake... in your profile, give people an idea of why you are here, dont contact people that already told you they are not interested in your "type", put a damn picture up, and be kind. | |

Posted: 1/26/2011 11:04:47 PM | Oh, before I forget... put a damn picture up that tells us something about you... not just a shot of one eye and half your nose.
P.S. I left out in my last post that guys should not contact guys that are looking for a girl... just left that little bit out. It has happened 3 times already and I am sick of it. I donr care if you dress like a girl, look like one, or even smell like one (yes I care that much about smell)... if you have something in your pants I already have dont talk to me other than a friend! | |

Posted: 10/12/2011 5:03:52 PM | | Women who assume all guys cause drama and play head games, or don't bother to fill in their profiles and expect you to ask them questions. This isn't a guessing game, and I am not going to sit here for 30 minutes and think of questions to ask only to have my message deleted without being read anyway. So many double standards with Internet dating and dating in general it's hilarious. | |

In agreement with this one too.
Over used headlines
Sparse About Me's
Leaving at the end of their About Me to send them a message. | |
