| Phrases that put you off someone's profile
Posted: 5/1/2007 2:42:26 PM | My first thread - I promise I have tried to search to see if it has been done, now I have posted it someone will find me twenty examples, but I couldn't!
Anyway, back to the point - what phrases or descriptions immediately put you off someone's profile? My two pet hates (apologies to anyone who has these on their profile!) would be -
"I don't bite....unless you ask me to" - how witty is that?
Any description along the lines of "mad/crazy/complete nutter" - this is purely based on personal prejudice, as anyone I have ever met who had described themselves this way turns out to be a total pain in the a***.
Any special faves out there? | |

I mean, bleedy hell, would be nice to have some kind of clue. I might be bright but my crystal ball stopped working years ago.
Or the other pet hate one...........
Under profession........... "Yes I have one"
Mind you, I think the profession one is used by people who can't spell the name of their own profession or by people who have a really embarrassing job ..... like pigeon washer, or underwater basket weaver...... who knows !!!! | |

Posted: 5/1/2007 3:36:55 PM | | MSG 5 - haha, true, I have finally managed to pad my profile out to something vaguely worth reading after several months of adding bits, I love those "I don't know what to say" 3000 word epics! | |

Posted: 5/1/2007 3:44:08 PM | Same as the ones you mention OP, but also ' Friends tell me I look young for my age' (they are gonna flatter - they are friends!) and 'I've got a very active life - football, sailing, pot-holing, abseiling, crocheting, morris dancing, dog-walking, watching paint dry' (well you ain't gonna have much time for me then, are you?)
Oh, and the ones from blokes in their 40s and older who are looking for girls 'from 18 to 35'. | |

Posted: 5/1/2007 3:47:32 PM | Well where do I start, I'll come back to this.
Bubbly, what is bubbly, you prick them and they burst? OOer mrs, not that sort of prick, birty dastards.
If you want to know just ask, bone idle if you ask me.
the usual sofa, fine wine (not £3 a bottle crap note), DVD, log fire combination or failing that a walk on a beach, (I'll throw in a romantic sunset, you see blokes can be soppy).
First dates are a mine field, no wonder we are all overweight and pissheads the number of country pubs and fine restraunts we have to visit.
"Any decent blokes out there"? can substitute honest for decent.
Knights in shining armour/princes and frogs feature too.
"I'm free again and ready to start living", tara love, come back in 4 or 5 years when you have scratched the itch and worked out your vendeta against men. | |

Posted: 5/1/2007 3:49:53 PM | "Like nights out but also like to stay in, cuddled on the sofa with a bottle of wine and a DVD"
Bleugh!
Also (being somewhat hypocritical here, because it's on my profile but at least I mention paddling and candyfloss and point out that I'm in the midlands), the ubiquitous "romantic walk on the beach" | |

Posted: 5/1/2007 5:58:36 PM | Notice the common theme here? People write the opposite of the truth in many cases. When they say "I look young for my age" they mean "I've been thinking about how old I look and I asked my freinds and they ASSURED me this wasn't true and I think about it a lot so I'll mention it here". Denial, plain and simple.
They mention what they're thinking about and project their insecurities.
Into healing? They're sick in some non-minor way and fookin need it.
Happy? Deppressed.
Easy going? You wish.
Etc. | |

Posted: 5/1/2007 10:36:32 PM | to misquote an old phrase - you cant please all the people ANY of the time  - some sites offer "professional " profile writing services - at a cost of course - i wonder if they DO get better results ??
all one can do is be honest - we are not all pen wizards - who can project ourselves in a few ( hundred ??) words - it takes a life time to get to know any one - even if you are with them - and even then you can be surprised /disappointed - so judging people on a profile is difficult - mostly impossible methinks
personally - i think that reading the posts on the forum will give you a far better idea about someone than their profile
just my opinion of course
regards to all

Posted: 5/1/2007 11:08:58 PM | This is just a bit of fun. Certain posters should not be so sensitive! But in any case, we are all going to have some things we like and some we don't. My turn offs are lots of text speak - how lazy is that! All capitals - why are you shouting? Yes that old 'I don't bite' quip and that good old standby, 'walk along a moonlit beach'.
So - shoot me. | |
