2. Profiles with no pics...come on this is supposed to be a dating website.
3. People who want someone intelligent...but spell intelligent wrong.
4. People who say they don't smoke but have a cigarette in every pic?
5. Lying about you age.....why bother you will get found out.
6. Men who won't give BBW's a chance! I'm working on getting in shape and I'm a good person....!
Good luck to all. Not easy being on here!

Negativity of any sort is a big turn-off. We all had our hearts broken. Don't let it affect your future relationships. | |

Posted: 10/20/2011 12:19:34 PM | Ok this has happened to me a few times and it's not really profile related, but it's a HUGE peeve.
People(in my case women) who email me first. Which is all well and good, since I get very little mail period. I'm happy about it. Then when I try to reply I find out they've blocked me? LOL. WTF is that? I've had one or two send me chat requests, then close and block me before I even typed one word. Strangeness..... | |

Posted: 10/23/2011 11:40:00 AM | I like that lol
My pet peeve since i have joined is that you send messages to people and you they dont have the decency,respect,courtesy or good character to reply interested or not
I read in some not many" if i dont reply that means i am not interested " lol the way i interput that is " see above " lol
I guess you can say well thats internet dating, actually what i say is " we have changed so much for the worse that we ( not me ) cant even send a message to say" sorry i dont feel we are a match "
ahhhhhhh thats felt good to get that off my chest lol
i guess i will go send some more messages and wait for ignorance to start all over again

Posted: 10/23/2011 3:36:13 PM | My pet peeve so far for me would have to be when a person states that they are looking for 'long term' only to find out they are playing the field. I will not go into detail.
I am clear on my profile in what I am looking for. | |

Posted: 10/28/2011 11:57:00 AM | I think the undecided\open response to the "wanting children" question is not indicative of someone searching for a woman of childbearing age. While I don't have children myself, at my age I am more likely than not to meet women with children.
I used the undecided\open response in my profile as I think every situation is unique and should be looked at accordingly.
For example I probably wouldn't be interested in someone with a baby/babies, as she would likely be too young for me, and I really have no interest in parenting or taking care of babies.
It also begs the question as to why someone with a baby or babies is single, and was their decision to procreate well thought out. Unless they were widowed I don't think I would have any interest in such a profile.
Conversely many women in my age group have adult children who have moved on to lives of their own, and it would be self-defeating if I said that I didn't want children in my profile. | |

Posted: 10/28/2011 1:35:26 PM | My pet peeve is not really about profiles. It's getting responses to my messages that are one word, or just a short phrase. Even worse is when I get a reply to a second message I send that doesn'ty respond to anything I've said or asked about. It doesn't make sense to me when a woman replies to my first message saying virtually nothing, and then responds the same way after I respond to her message. What's a guy supposed to think?
It also bugs me a bit that there doesn't appear to be any common courtesy or writing skill practiced any more. | |

Posted: 11/3/2011 6:41:50 AM | I have many...
1.) People who are obviously overweight and claim to have "average body types"
2.) Women who are listed under "intimate enconter" but then on their list of those who shouldn't message them are those seeking intimate encounter. That is the dumbest thing ever.
3.) Pretenders who don't post photos of themselves yet they demand that anyone who messages them has a photo.
4.) People who write essays in their profiles...like anybody is going to read through all that BS. Make a connection first then maybe someone will be interested in the rest of your personal likes and dislikes.
5.) Profiles in which the person sounds demanding, ignorant and full of themselves.
Those are just a few...But overall..I want to say this..If you have no intention of ever following through with a real life meeting why don't you state it in your profile? So many people on this site are a waste of your time. Its really maddening. Also, just say what you want....Nobody here knows you so they really don't have any clue what you are looking for unless you are honest. Good Luck. | |

Posted: 11/3/2011 6:46:44 AM | @ Idontact42.....
Yes I hear you....but a few women I have had correspondance with or the couple I have actually met in real life say they are overwhelmed by messages...so much so that one woman had to remove her profile because it was just too much. We are men and we get pretty much ZERO unsolicited messages. Some of these women, especially those who post pics and are half attractive get literally hundreds of messages a week...So that is the reason. Maybe there are too many desperate men who flood mailboxes with messages? Perhaps if women only had a few messages a week sent to them, they would respond...but I bet alot of them don't even read all their messages because there are too many. | |

Posted: 11/6/2011 4:32:59 AM | | The more you read, the more you realize that what irritates one person, attracts the next. Some hate short profiles, some hate long ones, some want a reply of no interest, some say “why email me just to reject me?”, some want good grammar, some are irritated by people fussy about grammar. Seem to be very few rules of etiquette here that can be applied across the board, so if you do something that irritates people, who knows, the next person might find it charming. | |

Posted: 11/16/2011 4:01:52 AM | Meet Me feature. They clicked Meet Me, I send the message, and then no reply or anything.
Also dishonesty in profiles. One thing stated in the profiles but from no replies or lack of reply, they are definitely looking for something else. Don't understand that at all. | |

Try pressing the "View Profile" button. You don't actually make the determination off the picture... that said, I don't think I'd ever be interested in someone who couldn't find that button or made the determination about the feature without looking at it.
Kind of hyprcritical, don't you think? | |

Posted: 3/22/2012 9:28:57 PM | for those of you who lack the knowledge.......
posting a photo when you are a professional person is NOT professional.
Would you like to see a picture of your Dr. and read all his personal business?
Some things should remain private and that is one of those situations.......just to give you an example. Since most of you are NOT PROFESSIONALS...you are not able to think outside the box........... | |

I think that most professionals are capable of determining for themselves the appropriateness of posting personal photos of themselves. It depends on the individual and their particular situation. If you don't feel comfortable posting a personal photo of yourself, so be it, but there is no reason to be insulting towards those of us who don't see a problem with it.
Personally, I wouldn't care if my Dr. posted a profile on here. They have lives too. | |

Posted: 3/28/2012 6:31:05 PM | 1-Deliberately blurred poser pics like teen girls have on facebook. Show your best shot as to how good you actually can look but not some fakeish BS shot.
2-People that say they want to get to know you before sending a pic because it's about the inner person. That's an inner person that is afraid to show their face.
3-People that think an upside down pic is witty or funny.
4-Women that first go on about how their kid is always no. 1 and no man will change that. As if all the guys that want to change that will say- oh better be nice to the kid.
5-glass half full, lives to laugh, are the good men gone, I want a great man, all these are redundant trite sayings. | |
