Dont post a pic of george clooney when you actually look far more like george n mildred.

1. Its classed as false advertising.

2. It will only cause us ladies heartache when we realise that we arent actually talking with Mr.Clooney

Slightly off topic but guys when you're writing a testimonial try and start off with something more original than "Well what can I say about this girl."

This is a funny thread but thought provoking as well.
the idea of a profile is surely to give a snapshot or indication of you and your aspirations/expectations. Im not sure how much mine does that. The problem of course is that people being people will read far more into those few words you put down and place all manner of negative/positive connotations on them depending on the reader.
In short they are pretty subjective and should be taken as such.

as for my pet hates:

havent really got any, some are just irksome but as someone posted earlier, the no perves/sex talk etc etc with pics of ample cleavage on the profile? what do you want to chat about...antiques?...mind you thye are a fine pair of ivory orbs you have there!!!!

'likes long walks on the beach'
'happy to go out or stay in and cuddle up with a DVD'
'can't be bothered filling this in. ask me'
Long lists of partner requirements. Things offered in return : none.
Any ASCII art, references to Maddie, Diana, cancer, troops or other braindead causes that get in the way of you actually doing anything with your life.
txt spk
any references to weirdos, ugly people etc etc. We're all on here to look for fanciable people, but you don't need to make yourself sound narrow minded and shallow.

Nooo please don't stop people putting such nonsense, it's easier to spot the dorks and avoid them.

I believe most of us can tell within the first few sentences whether the writer has the type of personna we seek. Let's be honest, the vast vast majority of profiles will not be to our liking for one reason or another, usually because they contain such nonsense. Saves us a heck of a lot of time sending messages / replying to theirs!

On careful owner...

Oh please, this is not Private Eye personals...

Going on about football teams and da' man Rooney. Go and date the fat fook then..

When men/women put Long Term and waffle on, about meeting the right person and i need a cuddle...... CLINGY TWAT.

Men with mobile phones in their hands, why..The pic was not taken with it....so and no i don't want to see your 6 pack or your abs..


Oh and TESTIMONALS, why why why..Just speaks of rejected, but still wanting a bit.

Bad spellers, they crank me up.

It never cases to amaze me how many women have a real go at men in their profiles.

I thought this was a dating site ?
If men are so bad why are they looking for one ?

Men posing next to their cars.......perhaps shows lack of imagination and personality....also if you have a posh car gentlemen...you are more likely to attract gold diggers.

on the other hand really naff profiles do have a certain entertainment value

They only do that so that do have to waste their time replying to messages from frigid women.

Unfortunately some men really do see sex as their hobby, sort of like stamp collecting I suppose. I must admit listening to their list of conquests and how each performed is a little more entertaining than the new first issue of some African countries new Stamps. But their hobby it most certainly is and everything is geared towards adding another conquest to their collection.

Sad innit.

Who said that was all they want? Believe it or not, not every chap who enjoys sex is some kind of pervert. I'd have thought that any woman who thinks they are probably has more issues of her own.

Why shouldn't they be open about it if it's an important part of a relationship to them? Surely it's better to find someone with whom you are compatible with in every way, including sexually.

i liked the comment about sex is like stamp collecting lol, the downside of stamps in the united kingdom is they are self adhesive, you can no longer lick them

I hate seeing:
People who have put friends or talk/e-mail then they have put where they would like to go on a first date.Why?
If you had me locked in a room for 24 hours what would you do to me?
My mother/friend/ex girlfriend told me i look younger or act younger than i am
Text speak
They are so annoying,i just click off their profile

Ok its time to 'fess up, Course I wouldnt leave you...I would stay and possibly swallow the key!

My fav for profiles, though it has been mentioned..

Girls in undies, no players type comments, makes me giggle but not reply!

The big one though is pictures of kid's, I don't ever mesage or reply to anyone stupid enough to put kids on a dating site.
