Possibly the most ridiculous thing i see people write is

"I like going out to the pub and having fun but i also like staying in"

So they like going out and staying in. Hmmmm, guess that would be pretty much like every other person on the planet

While we're at it lets hope they tell us more facts about their individual personality such as...

"I breathe oxygen"
"I have both a mother and father" and
"I dont like eat through my eyeballs"

If someone chooses to waste time on their profile it would best if they at least included the characteristics that defined them as an individual as opposed to the universal traits that define us all as cultural siblings

I find it rediculous when people have "Prefer not to say" in the "Want kids" and "Got kids" parts of the profiles. Why would you want to hide the fact you've got kids?

My profile is, of course, perfect

People who prefer not to say whether they smoke or drink or take drugs, I would always assume the worst when anyone chooses that option.

"looking for someone normal"


I like to stand naked at the junction around four in the morning directing the traffic by the light of the full moon. The police dont bother me about it these days since the psychiatric report found I wasnt a danger to the public and after the sixty third arrest they decided I wasnt worth the paperwork. I live in a house with a leaky tin roof with a blow up doll and 78 cats. I celebrate Christmas by taking a bath. I am normal. People who dont understand my behaviour are not normal. I know because the voices keep telling me.

anything emotionally manipulative or which reeks to the high heavens of desperation...or a profile which is too demanding of the people they expect to contact them.

also profiles which refer in the most strange pathologically obsessive way to others...whether it be an ex or someone who made the mistake of being friendly with you or someone you are intensely envious of ...whatever the reason - there's a difference between being honest and open ...and exposing yourself to intense ridicule.

I think all the comments are apt about what not to put, some glaringly obvious but I try not to judge anyone, and know from experience that its very difficult to describe yourself and what you like or want from life. I try to accept that everyone is trying their best to find common ground, saying you like going out or staying in watching a DVD is common ground isn't it (although I accept not original).

As for the photograph ... I don't care what people look like but have been caught out before with not so nice men that masquarade under different names (mainly my ex!) So a photograph to me is just a safety thing - if your genuine you shouldn't mind attaching a photo, if you don't want it on public display attach it to a message - thats not to much to ask is it?

Don't claim to be a non-smoker on your POF profile if you admit to being a regular smoker on other dating sites (yes, I've just come across a woman who's done this).

when people say they dont know what to say about themselves, if you can't think of anything to say about yourself then how do you expect anyone else to find you interesting enough to want to contact you?

Put this on your page. If you think that British, white, middle class, little girls going missing on holiday abroad are more interesting than any of the hundreds of other people who go missing every year.
