| | What words should be banned from profiles?Page 5 of 14 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) | How can one know who to avoid though if all profiles are upbeat, cheery and positive? It would give a false impression of the miserable, depressing a*ses ..
In fact this applies to most things to avoid. Arrogance, stupidity, immaturity (the list is endless) are all reflected in profiles and though you can't possibly legislate for those who are crafty and come over as normal when are in fact complete twonks... profiles are a good start for filtering out the numpties! | |

I'm not sure they are really. If you are a firm believer in first impressions, then fair enough, but I think a lot of people miss out on good relationships because of that train of thought. It's so easy to create a false first impression and real someone in, or be caught on a bad day and never be forgotten for it. I myself am a miserable depressing arse, but dont think I come across as one on here.

Posted: 6/15/2012 8:15:27 AM | You do have to start somewhere though and in most cases the general impression I've got from a profile hasn't been too far from the truth. Of course some profiles are completely uninformative in which case I would assume the person in question doesn't have an empty mind but is at a loss as to what to say.
You must be the one of the crafty ones I was referring to then lost... just can't legislate for ya :-) | |

Posted: 6/15/2012 5:51:24 PM | ^^^^ No feathers ruffled here ma'am
All perfectly reasonable observations by your good self
Just amused by what I saw as an attitudinal juxtaposition between your definitons and your profile needs
:-)
vvvv Really? Do people change their minds to such a degree on here? Some people eh? Whatever happened to honesty and consistency ...think I'm gonna have to rethink this totally... | |

Posted: 6/16/2012 3:31:11 PM | @msg 127 To quote Emerson "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds......"
Though I imagine he would roll in his grave to be quoted in such a place as this the thought amuses me no end.
I've never understood the admiration for consistency and the like.Another one that should be banned form profiles: 'what you see is what you get' Oh really? People seem very proud of that one.
And also the usually incredibly amusing ,given the sort that usually write it ' I don't suffer fools gladly'. | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 2:20:17 AM | "I am a blokes bloke"...what does that mean?
"I am very busy" = I am very important
"you must wear high heels" - I have done that on first meetings and towered over the guy as his profile height was wrong.
a bit like sending a CV for a job, I would love to say my office should have "carpet on the floor" but would be considered a bit cheeky! | |

lol makes you wanna say ok all your exs? then why are they your "exs"? if your such a sweety pie an seriously surely if a woman did contact all of the women you have been with..i highly doubt they all would have such nice things to say about you.. "shakes head"only in your mind maybe... | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 11:47:53 AM | "Anything you want to know, just ask" ... on an otherwise/practically empty profile. Ask what? You've given me nothing to go on.
People who type in "txt spk" or any other variation. You wouldn't turn up to a meeting/date in scruffy/dirty clothes if you have clean ones hanging in the wardrobe, so why type like that when you're perfectly capable of spelling, grammar and punctuation. I accept some people have dyslexia or other problems, but otherwise I prefer people who don't butcher the written word because they think it makes them look "cool" or somesuch.
"My friends tell me I'm..." Of course they do - they're your friends. They wouldn't be your friends to start with if they *didn't* think you were nice/charming/sweet/funny/wild etc.
As other people have said, the whole, "no cheaters/players/liars" etc.
Rudeness. I get it, you want someone who takes care of themselves, who can join you on that hike, or run marathons with you or whatever, or for whatever other reason you can think of. Nothing wrong with that, but there's no need to be rude about it.
That Marylin Monroe quote. You're not being original, or feisty, or whatever you think. It's just annoying.
"Looking for a prince/want to be treated like a princess." If you're looking for a prince, there are a fair few of them round the world - Harry's not the only one left.
Personally, I don't want to be treated like a "princess". I want to be treated like an EQUAL.
"I'm a cool guy/girl... I go to work, hang out with my friends, love my family, love life. Message me, yeah?"
Why? I have no idea what sort of person you are. I don't know if you go out clubbing every weekend, what your interests or hobbies are, what your beliefs are. Give me a REASON to message you.
"Real guys want meat, not a bone!"
Argh. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with having confidence in the way you look. But you don't need to put down a whole load of other women in order to show this. In fact, I always feel that this sort of statement is defensive, inferring a lack of confidence rather than a lot of it. | |

Posted: 6/17/2012 12:28:15 PM | Lately I'm seeing a lot of
"Looking for my last first kiss...."
I don't know what song it's from but it's too frequent to be anything else. Right up there with
"Looking for a good hearted woman..." Listen to the rest of that line! "in love with a two timin man..." This from men who have the other infamous statement:
"No drama, please!" | |
