I'm sick of the bar / club scene.
Even better is when they say they're sick of the bar or club scene, but all their pictures were taken in different bars or clubs! | |

10. The gratuitous boob shot.
What about a gratuitous booty shot? I had one of those up for a few days (by accident).
I like long walks on the beach, candle lit, fireplaces.... Yeah okay cliche factory, next.
Don’t forget “likes to give massages” …No you like to feel people up. I like to give massages because I went to school and paid money to learn how to do it properly.
The walks on the beach get to me too. Mostly because I see this from people who live nowhere near a beach.
Right, what beach are you walking on and you live in a land locked city?
I am like next and the "must love animals" line. Why do I have to love animals? I would rather eat them.
I have two furballs so if you hate animals then it’s probably not gonna work. I don’t have this in my profile but I do mention that I have two pets. You don’t have to “love” them but you have to at least be able to tolerate them. | |

Posted: 6/23/2009 11:39:45 PM | Three big cliches are:
1. I want a man who knows how to treat a woman.
----OK, why not say how you want to be treated instead of leaving me guessing?
2. I want a man who shows respect.
----Please give an example of respect and disrespect.
3. I want a real man.
----To you, what is a real man.
OK, these woman had some kind of bad experience. But WHAT was the bad experience? I'm not a mind reader.
I just finished reading over 600 profiles, and 2/3 were so poorly written that I doubt the women were serious. | |

Sounds like someone forgot to cut out that part before they did a copy paste from someone else's profile. You should email them an let them know so they can better trick people. | |

Posted: 6/23/2009 11:47:27 PM | "I want to start as friends and then see where it goes." (or some variant).....we're on a dating site, not a friendship site. Friendship is nice, but it's kinda like going to a truck dealership and saying "I'm just interested in a car to start".
************
Yeah I agree with you there. If it says that I just pass them by. It's a dating site. Starting out pretending to be "friends" just gets a guy friendzoned. Either he wants to date me or he doesn't. Or did he think he was so hot women were going to show up to the coffee shop and spread out on the table demanding instant sex. Of course you start out slower, then incrementally pick up pace. But either we're dating, or we're saying goodbye. We're not friends. And yes once you're in a long term relationship with one you love they are also your friend, but they are your significant other first and foremost.
Similarly, my friend and I are both on here and we both are shocked and amused at the disproportionate number of men who post pictures of themselves up on this dating site, with pictures of themselves with some other woman. Or with some woman's hair or hand "accidentally" not quite cropped.  We always pass by those ones too. After we have a good laugh. | |

You have a child on your profile pic. Creepy
I agree with the soulmate thing......old

Posted: 6/24/2009 5:23:44 AM | Any mentioning of the words "drama", "games" or "player".
And of course "Long walks on the beach"...ok, so why would I want to take a long walk on a beach? It's hot, there are all these half naked people lying around that I'll have to step over, kids playing with a frisbee that will most likely hit me in the head. Not to mention the possibility that I can step on a jelly fish or my hair will frizz  | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 5:33:12 AM | .How can you be single you're such a great catch?
.I just wanna take it day by day and see where it goes (after 8 months of dating this starts to get old!)
.I just wanna have some fun and not having anything too serious (Not what you said when we first started dating).
I hate all the dishonesty I mean why can't people just save a lot of headache and time wasting and be honest. Less chance of feelings being hurt in the long run also. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 6:08:42 AM | My goodness when you read some of these looks like we have had some pretty bad dating experiences people can be so damn shallow lol. As the to the post just before the last thanx hun lol I agree with you also no one no matter who they are can have fun 24/7 surely being able to enjoy things is being able to get through the sticky times and have a laugh at the end of it all.
Other ones I hate:
. I'm not sure what i'm looking for at the moment (if that's the case then why look at all!! take some time out to be single!)
. So many women have treated me badly and I don't know where I stand (I'm being honest with you, do all the things you say you like and you're still not happy!!! There's just no pleasing some people I see lol) | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 6:15:19 AM | | "I am attractive / pretty / good looking" etc. Your perception of your looks is irrevelant. It can come off as being arrogant as well. | |

I hate that one also I mean beauty, attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. I mean nine times out of ten when i get that in a message from a guy aI don't find him attractive at all lol. It is very off putting. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 6:40:18 AM | | This is more of a profile cliche, but I keep seeing phrases like "I enjoy the gym, working out, fitness and exercise" and they have the traditional shirtless photo of them pumping iron. It's like "Ok Skipper - why don't you go drink your protein shake now"... | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 6:41:07 AM | "prefer not to say" followed by "wanna know - just ask" ..  
"I Love you baby" .. ((btw - what was your name again?))
"Not looking for a one night stand" (doesn't plan on spending the 'whole night')
Other than that .. I've never dated a cliche ..
Lies are a HUGE turn off .. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 8:04:11 AM | Profiles that start out..."Never done this before...don't like talking about myself...What do I say here., etc." Makes him sound whisy, washy.
When a guy says..."I'm a romantic man who likes walking on the beach holding your hand and cuddling in front of the fire and a slow dance." So many guys say this I'm wondering if it's from an article on how to write a profile in Playboy?
"I don't like drama." Is it just my experience, or are the people who talk about drama 99% responsible for causing the drama in the first place.
"I'm fit and active and am looking for the same." Fair enough...unless your photo shows you with a big gut.
"I'm looking for a motorcycle, golf, rollerblading, whatever buddy."
Photos: Guys on motorcycles, photos of cars, photos where their hair is dark when it is now all grey or gone. Photos with the ex cut off (when did you break up?) and photos with sun glasses (don't email 'til you see the whites of their eyes). Shirtless photos or worse, shirtless photos where the guy is flexing.  | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 9:14:44 AM | 1. "My friends describe me as ______"
I'm sure if you give them enough booze, you can also put "my friends thinks I'm Batman". Surely it's more effective to say "I am (insert flattering adjective).
2. Interests: laughing
This always make me arch my eyebrow. Laughing is not really an interest or at least not an engaging one. It's like putting "breathing" as a pastime. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 9:21:00 AM | "We are destined to meet."
"I love to cuddle."
"I'm a nice guy."
I could go on with more but after writing mere three examples, I'm close to gagging.  | |

That's bulIshit A.S. is...and you know it....we are all walking cliche's to some extent.
Plus, you dated me, eh?
and you don't remember what I was yelling back at the cottage after you threw me out into the long and winding road.
"A.s. Is...'Im a cliche'....I'm just a freaking cliche""
you don't remember that?

Actually... the implication that only 'losers' need to be here on a dating site bugs the hell out of me. None of us NEEDS to be here. We all figure we should use every available means to get whatever the hell it is that we want... nothing 'loser' about that. | |

So I take you're very direct and tell the women you meet on here that you wanna f*** em first and maybe be friends later? That would be rather like testing driving a truck by sticking your d*** up the tailpipe to see if it is really the truck of your dreams.   | |
