"only honest, genuine guys need apply" or some variation

not only is it on every girls profile but its completely unecessary

is anyone really going to come out and say theyre a lying sh*t and like to toy with ladies emotions?

either the guys honest and genuine or hes a player in which case he'll be lying and saying hes honest and genuine

either way it doesnt help the person with the profile

I came across a profile with two pics in it, the first was suspicious enough, but I was sure it was from a commercial source when I saw the second one... because it wasn't even the same guy! Ha ha, well done mate!

Laughed my self hoarse at the guy who said he knew he was drop dead gorgeous and dared any woman who thought she could capture him to try! He was quite good looking... if that was his pic, but who'd want to be stuck with a guy who'd need every door frame widening so far, for his head?!

Then there's the guy sucking his cheeks in and pouting, also with an almost as vain message. He looks like he's sucking a lemon!

Oh and the one who goes on about not liking main stream music and not wanting an airhead and wanting... blah blah blah. He ends up sounding so up his self and such a snob!

These are the ones that stand out for me, unfortunately... poor spelling, use of all caps, use of 'long term' or 'friends' categories when they mean booty call, no info in the profile, sunglasses or long distance pics no more use than ornament, shallow, ignorant guys not blessed with good looks who seem to think any girl other than an obedient, hot, intelligent sex kitten is beneath them... these things are so common, they are just rubbish that doesn't surprise me anymore, it just gets in the way when I'm looking for interesting profiles.

any profile filled with as many negatives as positives really makes me stop and think. Particularly when someone has a real shopping list of have's and have not's. I'm all for someone saying what they want, but such negativity gives me a lot of bad vibes.

Yeah - they're as bad as all the profiles that say nothing about the person that wrote it.
It pays to be picky.

Is it just me that 's noticed women flashing leg and/or breast on their photos are the ones who claim not to be looking for an Intimate Encounter/other relationship/sex.

I agree with them actually. They're just looking for a short term/long term email relationship/wind-up relationship.

No, I haven't contacted any such types..............but they haven't contacted me either.

As if eh?

I regard most women as being in the 'long term email' category anyway, despite what they put in their profile.

This little chestnut may have been mentioned before, but even if it has I reckon it is worth repeating;

"I like staying in or going out"

Presumably they hate that fraction of a second when one foot has crossed the doorway but the other hasn't, making them neither in nor out. Apart from those brief few moments during the day they are pretty content.

Oooops.......! I do have a couple of testimonials that say its true..... Ah but people don't like these either.... Oh dear I'm buggered....

I am glad people write what they do.... especially if I don't like what they say. It is a good filter system.

A torso pic, with the head cut off, and that being the only pic on your profile.

What not to put in a profile...

One thing I really really don't get and I have read some profiles, is when women say, looking for my knight in shinning armer, someone who will treat me right, must not be a player, I've been hurt in the past bla bla bla, I think to myself oh my god what is wrong with you, I am off the opinion that kind of statement attracts the very people you don't want to.

Then you have the I'm a nice guy profile, some of them can be a little over the top, I respect women, you will be my princess If you are the woman for me I will treat you right, makes me want to stick my fingers down my throat, I always think well if that is the case, why advertise it and not just do it.

Maybe it's the cynic in me, but when I read profiles like the above I think they are trying to hard and pretty desperate.

A picture that shows yourself with a lot of mates of varying degrees of attractiveness with no indication as to which one you are.

This isn't supposed to be like Russian roulette.

One was drop dead georgeous and the other was hmmmmm


Guess which one was the advertiser?

Why on earth would someone do this to himself?


Perhaps he was hoping that if he ever got to meet someone they wouldn't notice the bag over his head used in a vain disguise attempt. Some people are just odd

Talking of odd, just came across a profile where someone likes "cuddling up to a dvd". I have never attempted to cuddle a dvd, but I really don't think it would be particularly gratifying.

I find myself reaching for the Back button on my brower by the second or third misuse of the word "your" or "there".

I'd never call myself the world's foremost master of spelling or grammar, but anyone who can't manage the real basics just serve to make themselves look unintelligent to me.

Couple that with a barrel of good ol' 'txt spk' and I'm running after the nearest train to ByeByesville. There's no character limit on the internet, folks. Hell, it probably takes longer to type the average dubious abbreviation than the actual word in a lot of cases!

Put that 'lolz' down! That's better.

'there's no character limit on the internet'

I dont like over use of text speech, but do remember some of us are accessing the net via mobile phone.

So in that case there is a character limit.
