Posted: 6/24/2009 3:59:40 PM | "I have 62 kids that are my world."
Okay, maybe not like that, but you get the general idea.
And as if it hasn't been listed already...
"I'M TIRED OF GAMES" Yes, even in caps lock. I can't even be bothered to read a profile that has caps lock all over it though. It burns my eyes.
It's also second to impossible to find someone with unique interests in my area. Where are the gamer nerds? The artists? The geeks? Seems like everyone my online page enjoys only farming, mud-riding, and walks on the beach. I've talked to a few "different" people, but nothing extraordinary. I have to talk to someone who's at least 200 miles out of state before I find someone who's actually original about their profile (Most of the time). | |

They're out there, I'm sure. It's just that I wouldn't expect most guys to fess up to liking video games as most females would probably be put off by that and assume they do it around the clock.
And since the word "geek" has such a negaative connotation to it, I wouldn't expect most guys to say they are either. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 6:04:32 PM | My all -time favorite is "Nice guy with an edge". Always makes me want to ask.. Is that a knife edge? a cliff edge? or just the edge of your sanity? Worse yet, are the women looking for that guy.
I don't want a guy with an edge, unless it's being used to cut the damned drywall I'm hanging. : ) | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 10:28:39 PM | I don't know why but "lives life to the fullest" has always irked me. I mean, don't we ALL pretty much do that?
I also hate it when I see a woman looking for "financially secure" man. While I can understand seeking someone who is employed and not living off of their parents (or welfare), I have always found this phrase to be annoying. My thought is always, "At this point, my financial situation is none of your business!"
And finally.... "I'm a cup half full type of person." Grrrrrrrr | |

Well, one thing that a lot of people probably don't do well enough is listen, and that includes myself from time to time. My most recent experience, or rejection rather, was "I'm not ready to let someone into my life," followed up by a bunch of other statements such as "I'm not dating right now," etc. etc. In other words: what the person is trying to get across is that he/she simply has no wish to see you right there and then. Of course the statements might just as well be true but if you don't listen you'll be deluding yourself and you stick around, hoping that he/she will change. In my case however, the way that she came out, simply threw me off completely. Her words suddenly had no meaning anymore and we got closer. One day I had to question our "situation" and I confronted her. I told her that my intention wasn't to make friends and she understood that I wanted more than that. In the end, a friendship was all that she wanted. Now I'm avoiding her as part of my attempt to get her out of my head. She doesn't text or call me, neither do I. I allowed my pride to take a serious blow and contacting her now probably wouldn't change anything. | |

and guys don't tell me this isn't true, we look at these most times and a common reaction is "Who's the cute one next to you."
TOTALLY, TOTALLY said that before. I'm like, "Please say you're the one on the left." LOL Why put yourself through that? I can't imagain someone wouldn't write a message asking about the friend....:) | |

Posted: 6/25/2009 11:43:58 PM | Hey Pashune, seeing that you live in Mississippi, I wouldn't be too surprised that 4 wheeling, fishing, all that country sort of stuff for interests are prevalent on people's profiles.
Heck, I am from St. Louis, and I gotta weed through a lot of that too. | |

Woohoo! Someone understands my pain. After lots of deep searching I found a female who was also in the same boat 3 days after she signed up on an unmentionable dating site. I'd move out if I could A.) Afford it and B.) Find someone else who could take care of my disabled grandmother.
I still wish I had some friends that lived a little closer by though.  | |

Posted: 6/26/2009 12:15:55 AM | "I'm a chill girl"
or
*picture of her sitting on couch*: "This is me chillen (sp)."
"Chill" is so 1997. Turn on BET or have a conversation with a 7th grader and learn a new term. | |

Posted: 6/26/2009 3:28:57 AM | | seems like 90% of women say they have a "sarcastic" sense of humor. i rarely see that to be true. and most women seem to like scary movies (i don't). the "no games" thing is an all-time classic and usually a big, fat lie =) | |

That's just the way that someone who is really immature makes it seem like a positive. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 9:06:07 AM | I can't stand when people have super generic interests like "going out with friends" "laughing" and "having fun" Umm you just described 90% of the population, what am I supposed to write to you about?
I also can't stand girls that say things like "no games" I play soccer, golf and tennis, are those games? I'm really not sure what they mean by this, but it seems to scream "I'm a baggage carrying drama queen" | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 1:46:32 PM | | Ah, yes - I think some BBW do themselves a disservice by posting a pic of themselves standing next to their more stereotypically "hot" girl-friend ... as if Khloe Kardashian would want to advertise herself by being compared yet again to her skinny, popular sister. Do they want to push attention away from themselves from the very beginning? I'm confused - seems self-sabotaging. | |

Posted: 8/8/2009 8:26:40 PM | Key qualities I look for and/or My potential mate should be: decent, honest, faithful, respectful...etc etc etc....
These qualities shouldn't even have to be mentioned let alone spelled out on a profile.
Best lines used on profiles: I'm one of the only honest guys left. ~ Or ~ I would never abuse you, lie to you, or cheat on you.
Really? Then why you feel the need to even mention that?
My all time favorite are the webcam shots....we've all seen them: Guy bare-chested and sitting in front of his computer (trying to look all seductive while looking at the monitor all while feverishly typing away).... EEEEK!
Not only does that make me wonder if he even has anything on at all, but also what the heck is he really doing sitting at his computer, apparently buck naked. ??? Gross! And the kicker? Somewhere in his profile he mentions he's looking for a *fun* honest and decent female 
Um maybe if you put your clothes back on and stop cybering....you might find a decent female  | |

Posted: 8/9/2009 8:13:30 PM | Guys do that too - is that to persuade us that they have succesfully dated these women and are looking for similarly attractive prey.
'Looks younger' - either you don't , or if you do the picture is 10 years old.
'Good looking' - no you aren't.
'Good looking' - I'll take your word for it; no point in putting a picture up but which movie star do you look like? just so I'll not be overwhelmed when I meet you? 
'separated recently from the mother of my (2,3,4) children, decided life was too short, want to start again with a new relationship' My translation - living in hotels / crashing at friends places at the moment - child support payments are killing me I'll never be able to afford a place again - mmmm I've got an idea.  | |

Posted: 8/10/2009 11:23:01 AM | "I don't know what to put here... /if you want to know, just ask me"... if you can't independently think of something to say about yourself, then I'm wondering how you're going to come up with answers if I do go ahead and ask.
Then there was one guy who even put up a picture of him in the bath. No... just, no.
"Prefer not to say". | |
