I should add that this person has appeared as local in California, Hawaii, Florida, Ontario, Montana, Nevada, New York (sometimes different ones on the same day)... and not just neighbouring states to where they actually live.

Another pet peeve of mine is people asking for your email address or msn to show a picture of themselves. They do not want to show you one from their profile. That is a red flag to me.

I was listening to the television news and they warn the public to not give out your email address to people that you do not know. That is good common sense to me..

-people who say they don't smoke but have pic of themselves holding a cigarette
-"single" people posting with a wedding band on???????
-my friends say........... do you really think your friends are going to say you are cheap, a loser, a player, stupid etc...pleeeze
-men with no shirts, no pics, no smiles, sunglasses, sunglasses talking on cell phone..yes there is one!
-men wanting a thin/fit/athletic girl when they are clearly overweight
-lying about your age...I can tell the difference between a 55 year old man and a 45 year old man
-looking for an intelligent woman and spelling intelligent wrong??
-showing pictures of you drinking beer...your point is???
-listing too many restrictions--distance, colour of hair, eyes, age, body yada yada...maybe barbie isn't alive anymore!

People just be yourself, show a good (recent facial pic) and be honest about your age/weight and what you are looking for. If you only want sex that is cool,,,but stay away from us who are serious about meeting a partner!

I agree with everything you said lassie
add to that
-people who have profiles in different Cities at the same time, gets confusing
-they are new over and over and over again on the new user list
-no picture at all ever
-they are 50 but act 35...(shakes head and wonders...what are they thinking?)
-as they enter the pond they say "I am new to this..."and you have seen and read their profile on here and several other dating sites. New is New
now that I think about it maybe new is something that happens everyday like a new day
who knows
I just say be real and be who you are in looks, actions, thoughts and what you really are looking for on here.
oops thought of another one
-age range, what is with guys in their late 40's looking for a female between the ages of 18-48 I soooo don't understand that one!

I'm sure that these have been stated, but I thought I'd add anyway.

1. People who post pictures with multiple people in each one and they are all the same people so you can't figure out who the hell is the actual person in the profile. Aren't the pictures meant to identify you, not confuse people about who you are?

2. Net-speak or Text-speak using letters & numbers or shortforms for actual words. If this is an English language website, I shouldn't have to translate your profile, unless of course English is not your native tongue. Like a parent will say to a 2 year old, "use your big boy/girl words".

3. Pictures that are from 3 miles away. Yes, you are in the shot, but you are on the other side of the Grand Canyon so there is no way of knowing what you look like!

4. The aforementioned sunglasses pictures. I don't mind if it's a couple of pictures because you were on vacation, but not every single picture.

That's all for now, I don't want to sound like a complainer. That will be someone's new pet peeve. I guess another pet peeve may be jack asses like me who didn't read through the entire thread to see if these were mentioned.
