| Jeans and a T-Shirt...: Cliche of Death!
Posted: 2/27/2008 11:38:42 AM | | If they're saying"I like a girl looks great/is comfortable in a T-Shirt and jeans, but also likes to dress up when we go out", then someone wrote the dang profile for them. If I had a nickel for everytime I see "I can put a sexy dress on for a night on the time, but get my hands dirty on a camping trip as well"... | |

Posted: 2/27/2008 11:45:03 AM | | Sure, maybe everybody says it. But if it's important to me, and I DON'T put it in my profile, then I have only myself to blame when I don't find the right kind of women on PoF. | |

Here's a nickel if you tell me the user name of the next profile you see that in.

Posted: 2/27/2008 2:24:30 PM | "I love to laugh".
"My friends and family are important to me".
"Can you keep up"?
"Live. Love. Laugh".
Girls say plenty of redundant comments as far as profiles go as well. Too bad people refuse to go in another direction with their profiles.
At least I know if I ever get together with a girl that use things phrases as stated above, that I'll be the brains in the partnernship lol | |

I should have just quoted the last part "that I'll be the brains in the partnership".
On a dating site that attaches forum postings to your profile, the woman....sorry girl that decides to give you a chance based on that comment WOULD indeed have to be brainless.
"I love to laugh" which would tell me I could take the person to a comedy club and not worry about offending her since " she loves to laugh". Since I'm always getting people that I now to laugh, then I would know that I could be myself around a person that "loves to laugh".
My friends are important to me. Some of my family drives me to the point of wanting to step in front of a moving bus sometimes. Does it make me a bad person for not wanting to be around them and be miserable? "I love to laugh", and being miserable isn't laughing. | |

Posted: 2/28/2008 7:45:47 AM | | While I don't find many of what some consider trite or overused lines in profiles annoying (as a few other posters, I feel that they do relay some information), there is one I see that irks me to a degree. Usually seen on younger ladies' profiles: "Music is my life." If music is your life, then how is there room for a boyfriend and if you aren't a musician then how are you earning a living? It probably wouldn't bother me at all if I just didn't see it so often. | |

Posted: 2/28/2008 9:04:05 AM | If you see me in a suit ...someone died ..if you see me out of my jeans and tee shirt ..we have got to know each other very well...and i like a woman that is like me in that respect
oh and my favorite cliche and its on thousands of women profiles ....Dance like nobody's looking ...bull sh1t ...its the dancing guys that hope no ones looking ... women love to be watched while they dance ...what does this mean? | |

think most of them are annoying to be honest. Of course a person doesn't want a liar, cheater, and a douchebag. No one WANTS to marry an azzhole! No one WANTS to be abused or played! One should take all those things as standard requirements for dating. Oh, and another one I love......if you are looking for some quick azz or a free play keep looking, as I'm not your woman.
ok I think i got it ...everything we like and dislike is a cliche... because we all are people and there are just so many originals but if we say what we like we irritate you or someone ... because someone else said they liked it also ...get this im a normal guy i like the same things other guys like...so we all pretty much like the same things ...so why say it just leave our profile blank ... wait i hear women complaining about that also ...what are I to do ? sweetheart if you judge a guy for using a cliche in his profile ...you my friend are shallow as a puddle ...wait i cant say that its a cliche .. but women arnt shallow ...men are shallow ..is that a cliche ? im so confused.....sweetie you will grow out of many things that annoy you ...until then i think i would make sure i wasnt guilty before i condemned others for using cliche's... darling life is just not that original ...if you think it its a prety good bet someone else has beat you to it ..or if not i would begin to worry...Kisses | |

I think most people are going to have somewhat similar interests as a whole. Most people like movies and good food and wine and travelling and so forth. My problem is with the absolute obvious things that people seem to feel so compelling to stress in their profiles. Like the no cheaters, liars, azzholes, etc. It's pretty much a given! LOL I don't think it needs to be stressed, especially when every other woman stresses it! I'd rather read what they like to do and what they are interested in. And quite frankly if they're all interested in things that I am well doesn't that mean more selection for me?! ;-) | |

Posted: 2/28/2008 11:49:59 AM | In general I have to agree that most people do have similar intrests; but I know that when Iam checking out a bunch of different profiles in one day, and come across several that sound almost identical, I have to do a double check on the user name to make sure I am reading a different one. Something that peeps could do if they wanted to try to be different, is to check out the profiles of people of the same sex, take mental notes of the most common things, then try to avoud using them. | |

You can't see those who checked your profile that are of the same gender as you.
(at least it said so when I generated this profile, maybe different if you are not straight)
And nvm the typo in your correction  | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 10:31:01 PM | I would never use it, personally. Maybe it is for guys who think shallowly so that is all they have to say?
Sounds overfocused on looks, too. I think it projects shallowness, myself, but that determination is hard to make conclusively on just one line of a profile. I need to profile the whole thing and then I can tell you in the parlor with a candlestick was how the murder was commited.

Posted: 3/3/2008 8:30:21 AM | | Darn I was wondering why no men even accidentally viewed me ...as i have viewed many ... funny also you can change your sex in real life but not on POF ... might that not discriminate again trans gender people ? also there is no category for hermaphrodite's....cousin Charlie/Charolett will be hurt...and though I have seen no men looking for men on here i have saw women looking for women ...more than one | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 9:09:53 AM | Deerdog,
Either there aren't many homosexuals in your area or they are all too afraid to come out and say so as you live in the deep south! LOL In my area there are piles of them on here. When I first joined this site I didn't pay close enough attention when setting up my profile and left the Looking For column as the default, which was MAN. Within 15 minutes I had about 8 favourites and probably a dozen messages from gay men in my area. I was wondering what the hell was up with this site. I thought it filtered those you were looking for into your profile. Yes yes, my assumptions were correct! LOL Once I made the necessary changes it was free sailing. I still get the odd email from a gay man and actually they show up in my viewed me section, probably because they are listed as looking for men. | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 10:37:11 AM | ok Deuce maybe thats how it works ... no i know many gay people ....and each to their own ... my last post was an attempt at satire ....we in the deep south are not as sheltered from life as is thought .... most of us backwoods rednecks are surprisingly progressive .... my sense of humor was just running wild ...as i never noticed the viewed me never showed any men ... which in my case would be a good thing if it did ....not because i am looking to date a guy but i actually... am just on here for conversation /friends ...and for that a guy would do just fine...even a homosexual...tranny....or any persuasion ...go figure a deep south guy that has no problem being friends even with a gay person
we dont hang them any more down here ...except on leap year ....I even have a good friend that is gay and black .....he is a member of my klan chapter.....wait a minute this IS a leap year ...hope Tim dont come to the meeting tonight.... | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 11:12:07 AM | LOL I am not saying all folks from the south are homophobic! LOL I just don't think the prevalence of homosexuality is as high as it would be in more urban areas of the country. I'm not even close to bi-curious but I have a few gay friends that I talk very freely with. With one guy we have very intimate discussions about sex and so forth, with plenty of wretching on his end when I talk about vagina and lots of gagging on my part when he passionately discusses penis. I think I might go look for a shower here at work now....
Gay AND black. Oh christoph, you are going to hell. ;-) Why isn't he running for President this year? Seems his luck might be as good as ever this year! | |

Posted: 3/3/2008 12:01:44 PM | | I take that particular preference is in regards to a low-maintainance woman who doesn't feel the need to dress in expensive clothes every day and expects to be taken to the finest restaurants all the time, yet can look and act the part when those situations come up. I would think a girl who would wear jeans and tshirts most of the time would probably be the type that would enjoy more simple things in life than one who judges everything simply by its monetary value. | |
