Posted: 11/24/2007 1:54:03 AM | "txt spk" or "Fck wit" as I like to call it - See also "Lol, Lmao, Rofl" etc etc etc
"Ask and I'll tell you" Why not say anyway, go on, make yourself sound interesting rather than faux mysterious
"Prefer not to say" Something to hide have we?
Boobs/cleavage/ass on show.- just put it away, I dont care that you have them, it just makes you look like a cheap whore
Interests include "sex" - well duh!
"Soulmate/Perfect man/Genuine" Sappy, idealistic nonsense
"no fakers/players" I'm a faker but I'm going to out fake you by faking it and playing you
"I'm not very good at this part" At least pretend
Sexy/Hot/Stunning/Dirty/Sexy as part of the user name
"Don't play games" Not even Monopoly?
"Looking for who knows/not sure what I want" Then why F'ing join a dating site?
"Like to have a laugh" Who doesn't?
Blatant lies - wheteher that is from pictures, descriptions or soemthing else
A classic example fop the dirty skank that definitely makes me want to avoid them (under "First date")-
"first date has always got to be my bed hint hint i dont suck****on the 1st date but expect to be whent down on then i myte consider it i dont mind four play but occasionly like to get straight to the point rawrrrr i dont mins sharin with my cousin abby we are both bisexual and lookin for 1 lucky man to share us thats if u candle this..."
I didn't realise I was such a picky little bugger | |

Posted: 11/24/2007 3:10:28 AM | These are a few of my thoughts:-
1 - profiles with no pics - In this day and age with digital cameras and mobile phones there really are no excuses.
2 - pics with nothing but cleavage or just running around in your undies - as its already been said by others it really does make you look cheap.
3 - Carpet bombing messages - the kind of one that gets sent to the entire male population and it shows they obviously havent even taken the time to look at your profile.
4 - Ones where the main body of the message is how they have been hurt in the past and now as a result have very deep insecurities concerning men - I feel for you because it isnt nice been hurt by anyone but you have too many issues going on and therefore would be continuously comparing with ex-partners. | |

I read on a blokes profile once.......no dogs need apply...thing is....how do you know you ARE one??!! Do you bark or have you ever barked? Has anyone ever called you barking mad? Do you constantly run after and return sticks when they've been thrown away? I could give you more but hope these few basics into "how do you know if you are a dog" helps. | |

Posted: 11/24/2007 7:29:22 AM | pseudo aka FSM should really get together with realdeal/wa hae/resurrection shuffle/neme_sistah and all their other pseudonyms and battle it out between each other.
I was never FSM. Go and see a doctor please as I find being incessantly accused of being other people who have posted here (Who have political views that are polar opposites to mine!) to be really creepy to be honest. As for the rest of your post, self-validating claptrap. Business as usual then.
The terribly unfortunate thing about the pair of them is that they don't realise how little they mean to anybody who matters and who is actually friendly with whom
If 'people who matter' means you and your friends then I'm hardly likely to lose much sleep about it! | |

No Perverts? I am a broadminded bloke, and have no idea what she is referring to. Does it mean anything more sensual than "Missionary position only, once a week with the lights out" or drawing the line at under-aged farm animals in lingerie.
I think it means if you've waited too long outside the changing rooms at Ann Summers and got too curious about the strange merchandise there. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 1:22:27 AM | I think this gripe is mainly a "female thing" but I think that the..... "please don't add me to your favourites without emailing me first"...... type of note is pretentious.
Yes it is annoying if they don't contact you but I can understand that they either
- notice your profile but don't have time to write at that particular time or
- lack the confidence to write, so feel that by putting you in favourites they are showing an initial expression of interest
If I am in someone's favourites and do not wish to be, I just remove myself - job done. Its a public site; its free; the facility is there to add or remove.
Note: for the record it is only through the forums that I view ladies profiles and read their views 
As an overall comment about profiles I think that expressing preferences in your profile is fine, but its far better to do so by talking positively about what you like than negatively about what you don't. If you spend time composing what you write you should get the same result. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 3:27:58 AM | But people are often more aware of what they DONT like as that is a pretty static thing with most people
Whereas things they did like in one person could be manifest in a variety of ways meaning in some it will be tedious and in others admirable
There will also be things someone WILL like but hasnt experienced yet, so how can they either know it or express they will like it? So to some degree we do know quite clearly what we dont like, but all the things we do or could like are so immense with someone who is fairly open minded and easy going that only a few core necessities can be listed
Plus youre far more likely to have people contact you via a list of "likes" that also have things you already know you DONT like about them but werent listed for being "negative" so it wastes both peoples time
So personally I dont have a problem with negaive things stated, its far less ambiguous and is an efficient way to realise an incompatibility but I also look for a vaguer and less specific, more overviewish list of what they do like
ie "I like people who are laid back and like to laugh and enjoy themselves" rather than "I like men who leave the toilet seat up"
As the later is POSSIBLY a sign someone is very finitely picky and a bit of a control freak, they might not be, but life is too short to waste on ANY potential hint of a negative unless youre desperate | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 11:58:35 PM | | ok read through all these but got tired towards the end but dont think this one was listed, the good pic (old) trap pic, but then the downhill slide that appears as you click through the rest. Starts with the 10 year old pic, where she was still ok, then the I got depressed chocolate stage kicked in, and the weight came fast. Its fun trying to work out which is the nearest to her current situation though, but there is always that nagging doubt at the back of the mind that actually the worst one is still two years old and she has picked up speed in that decline like only a woman can lol. Some are amazing, you look at the best one and even if you squint, stand on your head, you just cant see the resemblance. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 12:35:18 AM | | Men holding friggin fish,dogs,cats and all sorts of animals. When men put 'prefer not to say', well thats obvious then isnt it......ddddddddddduuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrr. Men who dont type proper english, for example, "I wud lyke to meet da lady of me dreams", whats all that about? really puts me off | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 5:32:18 AM | Profiles where the only picture is of a woman with a group of friends who vary radically in degrees of attractiveness so that you have no idea which one is the person whose profile it is.
It's like playing russian roulette. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 5:36:12 AM | Lots of things on people's profiles put me off, but there is one which I find really difficult to stomach....
Lurid shirts.
Short sleeved ones are the worst. You know the sort, maybe a really cacky green or something.
Yuk.
I certainly wont be messaging anyone who'd wear something like that! | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 7:07:20 AM | | there are thousands of questions you can ask,if you can't think of one...shame on you. While i am on my soap box; bad spelling does not make someone less intelligent, it simply means they can not spell very well. | |

Probably a good idea. Anyone who did mail someone like that would have to be old and desperate I suppose. | |

You're so right, Native. thankfully I have not, yet, grown that old, nor reached that stage of desperation!
On topic: we all find things in profiles which seem to make the owner of the profile unsuitable, but I'm sure that there are others who find all the things listed above to be really quite attractive. Perhaps. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 2:07:03 PM | I really dislike profile pictures where the subject is just not being serious about themselves.
Pulling silly faces is so immature. Definately a person to avoid | |

Gosh, yes, Puddles!
I'd forgotten about those...... you know the sort.... wearing an odd hat or pulling silly faces or making strange hand gestures. Or worse still, sticking out their tongue.
Definitely to be avoided at all costs.

Posted: 11/26/2007 2:16:52 PM | I think stating the obvious is over-rated.
It's more fun if people leave out as much detail as possible.
Oh and to the poster who responded to my previous post on here, I'm glad you took the trouble to amend your profile. | |

Posted: 11/26/2007 2:23:57 PM | I hate it if folk have a pictrue of a motorbike or a fast car or even a plane.
It smacks of someone who is trying to impress. The fact that the motorbike or fast car is a part of the person is not relevent, they are just posing and trying to show off, look at me.
But I have a boat, the fact that anyone who knows boats wouldn't be impressed isn't relevent. I know I'm not trying to show off, so I have double standards.
I don't really, I'm trying to be ironic. | |
