Posted: 2/18/2008 10:30:19 PM | | Hi, I have browsed quite a few profiles on POF. In some of them I have noticed that in alot of profile text what people dont want. yet some of them dont necessarily match the pictures the poster is putting on. Other profiles tell me what a person doesn't want Ie: no players, one night stands, or people that play games. This is all good and clear information. however it kinda makes me look at the " if so then please move on option". Not because I consider myself a player or someone looking for just sex, but rather because this poster is already on the defensive. I thought that the mail settings pretty much took care of these concerns ? Could these dastardly villains have figured a way to bypass this security measure ? yet gain a bit of conscience if you just tell him/her that this is the way its gonna be ?? Are there any good men / women left ?? no they all went to bangladesh to live in a commune and we are just stuck here with eachother. With that said I welcome ( as said before me ) with arms wide open any comments concerns or cash donations you might be obliged to send my way ( no checks please but we do accept paypal ). Until the first time again..happy fishing and or stalking or whatever it is you tend to do in your off time. | |

Posted: 2/24/2008 1:18:37 PM | Ok guys, although you like us with our shirts off, we don't like to see you with your shirt off, unless you're at the beach or on a boat. The six pack that most girls like (not me) well, they are not talking about the 6 pack you drink every night that is now lapping over your belt.
Who cares that you cault a fish.. woo hoo, that would be like me holding up a pair of ear rings I purchased at the mall. Look at these babies, gold and 14 Carat too...50% off retail. Hey, take a picture of me holding up my big find!
Please get a friend to take the picture, the ones with your outstreatched arms. You have no friends to take the picture? How sad is that?
Then there are the ones that say... Athletic but the picture is more of a few extra pounds, who are you kidding, we can see and put two and two together. Not only are you over weight, you're a liar!!! Yeah, that's the way to get the girls.. and you wonder why you're single. We can handle the weight, just not the lies!!!!!
Do we really care what you drive or that you have traveled to far off places? UM NO!!! Those are pictures you probably cut out of frames and posted. I'm mean come on you in a mewadow with a horse in the back ground. Just give us an honest description and a nice head shot and we're good to go. Please no turtlenecks, the whole gentile thing...
How about some class, what is it about Southern guys, you don't know how to dress! Grow up already!!!! My brother dressed like that when he was 13. Say this out loud GQ, GQ. If you don't know what it is , Google it Bay be!!!!!! Better yet, do a search in CT.. guys know how to dress there, but that's because they are all divorced and the wives have tault them a thing or two about style.
OMG... If you have had the same hair style for over 10 years, please get a clue. Do you want to see us in a Pixy... I doubt it? Moustache, please, only if you're gay or a fan of The Village People..... Come on people, work with me here! The girls on plenty of fish are dying !!!! Go to the chop shop and say I want The Surf, she'll know what you mean.
OK, now, girls... You gotta get some exercise, guys don't like overweight girls or girls that are stuck in the 80's. Big hair is out.. I mean, come on, I'm convinced that Jimmy Hoffa is buried in that nest you call hair. I have just 5 words for you honey... Make over or bag over......your choice. Guys like girls to look like girls, so why the short hair? Step away from the Man do.
Although guys like the sexy, slutty pictures, let's have some respect for ourselves. Are you really so desperate for a man that you're willing to sell your soul and your body for some cheap love. That's not love, that's stupid!!! You don't have to wear a turtle neck. Be classy with a hint of sizzle. Don't give away the goods... Make them work for it, put your bras back on ladies. The only guys you're attracting are the ones that will use you and put you out like yesterdays trash and why not, if the shoe fits, right?
Okay, now that everyone is ticked at me for being so brutely honest... Let me explain... I'm working on a commedy routine... This is NOT meant to hurt anyone, who am I to talk. I can't tell you the last time I had a date and have you seen my profile? My little dog gets more attention than I do. That's it, just pictures of you and the dog ... "Come on", I say to myself "GET A LIFE!!!" It does help to laugh at ourselves. I hope that I have at least made you smile.
The truth is we are all searching for love and going about it the best way we know how, some better than others. Don't you hate those people, they have so much going for them... and she appears on 12,890 favorites list... Who is she having sex with? Okay back to the serious thoughts....Just because we're lonely doesn't mean we're alone.
Jesus loves us and sent His only son to die for us, that we might be saved and live with Him in eternity. No one will ever love us as mush as He does. Let Him love you first, then you will be free to love others, perfectly... You are loved, you are special and you do matter!!!!! Be the very best person you can be on the inside and out, don't give up, keep the faith. May God bless you all. | |

Posted: 2/25/2008 4:32:49 PM | Here's mine....
Women, especially those in their mid 30s and beyond, complaining that everyone they meet is only interested in sex and when describing what they are looking for, list mostly physical aspects.. News flash, you get what you advertise for.
If you didn't see the Peyton Manning commercial this football season or you just aren't a sports fan, too bad.. What he said rings true.. "Unless you are under 25 or a professional athlete, forget about washboard abs... Get a bigger shirt!" 
Here's a bonus one... You know you want to read on... 
Anyone ..... who feels compelled to post their health issues and/or their legal/family drama on their profile. Repeat after me... think positive.. be happy.. you're on a dating site, not freaking Montel Williams... 
OK, I haven't had a forum rant like that since baseball season 
Have a great week!

Posted: 3/6/2008 9:27:10 PM | The biggest turnoffs for me is "must have picture" but they don't, also don't list 50 things you like please. Makes me think I will get waved at as you pass on your way to something else, and I am not a time filler for rainy days or cold nights.
Also, if your looking for friends, then why are you on a DATING site. Sometimes I think 80% of the people on these sites come on to chat with one another or look at the pictures.
Finally, don't start your profile with rants about what you have experienced in the past or about "players need not apply", I'm not someone looking for a one night stand, but if you seem to be loose or easy then I am moving on right quick from your profile.
I understand everyone has probably had past relationships, but don't make me think you make a career out of dating one-night-standers and jerks.

Posted: 3/6/2008 10:33:04 PM | The turnoffs in profiles I don't like. The photos where the lady appears to be posing for an adult magazine laying down in bed, in lingerie....It makes the woman look cheap.....You should not have to use a "sexy" photo to get a man's attention, well at least not this man....Stand up, please.....A nice head or full body shot with something honest written about yourself will do....I tend to like it when the woman takes the time to type several paragraphs about themselves....You can get a bit more information about their personality.....how their thought process is, how they view life....etc....And speaking of the photos, not sure I am fond of the glamor shots.....haven't really seen one that I do like....just my 2 cents.....
Have a Nice Day.....b... | |

Posted: 3/12/2008 4:22:22 AM | | Its not so much of what turns my off.. I like to see a profile of a headshot.. preferably the whole body.. clothed of course. Then a profile that is not wordy. To sit and read and read and read is a turnoff. Keep It Simple. Keep it to the point. I also like to see more than one picture. I guess anything other that that I consider a turnoff. | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 3:34:28 AM | | Bitterness in the words that are written first and foremost. A lot of the profiles that have "tired of games" to the "looking for a real man" written in them just tell me that these women are desperate. Some of the poses I've seen, from ass shots to women spread across a couch on their hands and knees. Pictures with their female friends in them and the friends are way nicer looking then they are. | |

Posted: 4/18/2008 5:13:32 PM | women who criticise men for being only interested in one thing yet their photographs look like a Victoria's secret cutting room floor_ I dislike double standards, smokers- sorry but it just doesn't do it for me. people who know the price of everything yet the value of nothing (cynics)
and people who disrespect each other- live and let live and move on!. | |

Posted: 4/19/2008 1:35:26 PM | I abhor it when people do nothing in their profile but b*tch and moan about how their ex did them wrong. Some people can spend 500 words telling everyone how they were perfect, but their ex lied, cheated, and stole from them before finally leaving with the car, kids, and savings account.
Sorry, but all this does is emphasize the fact that you need a wheelbarrow for all the emotional baggage you are still carrying. For goodness sake, get yourself together BEFORE you date! | |

Posted: 5/8/2008 12:29:55 PM | It gets on my nerves when people just type random letters to meet the character requirement for posting a profile. I've seen more than my fair share of:
fjdlkfdfjdkfdfjldfjdfjdkldkfjkdlfjdlfjdkfjdksfjldflkdfdfjldfjkldfjdjfdsjfslfk
At the very least, type one or two coherent sentences and be done with it... LOL | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 12:18:38 PM | | My God, AM. You're right. Your profile is atrocious! You actually had the gall to post a clear pic of yourself and do more than just slam women in your essay. Sorry to tell ya dude, BIG turn-off! | |

Posted: 5/12/2008 12:53:39 PM | | I think my biggest turn-off is the profiles with no pics, what are we hiding here???? Also, the profiles that come off sounding really negative, will these ladies bring negativity into a relationship? Who needs that! I also look at spelling, it's not all important but it does give a clue as to the sort of person doing the writing.... | |

We need to have a discussion.
Fishing and shopping, no where near the same ball park, not even the same sport. Fishing takes skill, shopping takes just money. The bigger the fish, the smarter the fish, thus harder to catch. Earrings, the bigger, the uglier.
I got friends, enough said.
You can be athletic and still have a few extra pounds, looking at me, you'd never know I still had a small buddha belly, by looking at my muscular frame.
What do guys from CT have in common with guys in NC? Probably just the fact they are male. That's it. You have to elaborate on "don't know how to dress", you know. Most of the time, we're t-shirt and blue jeans kinda guys down here, like me, but when I dress up, James Bond doesn't have shit on me. FYI, it's "taught" not "tault".
Your comedy sucks, don't go on TV. Just crawl in a hole and go away, and take a dictionary with you.
What's wrong with people having many favorites? Some might have a great personality. I've been told I was a charming mother ****er. Might not be, seeing as how I'm 2 people's favorites, but my real friends aren't on POF, either. | |

I totally agree. I personally prefer a stockier-type build on a guy anyway, but that's just me.
What's wrong with people having many favorites? Some might have a great personality.
I get CRAP about this all of the time. The way I see it, if people want to add me, they can... I'm not going to stop or delete them. It doesn't necessarily mean I have to add them as well. Also, at times I've added someone whose profile I happened to read that really caught my attention, but I just didn't have time at that particular moment to send them a message. By saving them as a favorite, I was able to find them again once I finally had a chance to take my time and send them a nice initial message. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 5:52:07 PM | Ok this is more to the fact of profiles that the person seemed nice. You talked and the person still seemed nice, then all of a sudden you find out they are a stalker.. You cant even watch a good hour of tv before the phone rings and they want to know what you are doing. I think it is a turn off if the person comes off as desperate, I mean if you have to call someone 20 or more times a day. Get the picture.  Telling that person you dont want to date them doesnt work and so you send a polite text saying No Thank you and they still want to know why even after you told them. That is definately a turn off.  Don't get me wrong I have met some very nice, normal people, just a couple of freaks . Happy fishing, use caution. | |

Posted: 6/25/2008 8:32:01 AM | | You know what is the problem here....well I do not know for sure but I will put my own little spin on it....I hate it when people tell you they are looking to find that special person and they talk and send you messages and that is it. Do people actually want to meet or just message. What about the others that talk and send you messages and then nothing. They do not even send you a message that you said something the did not like or if they found their special one. Well, I know I will find that right one and I am not desperate so I am in no hurry just want to know what happen to meeting and common curtosy | |

Posted: 6/27/2008 5:22:29 AM | | I have met a couple of women from this site. Those have been pretty cool. Yet I understand what you are saying Mich...because I've also been mislead a time or two and that is definitely a turnoff. | |

I'm with you on this one cobias. One of the first things you learn when trying to change your way of thinking about what you want out of life is the stop thinking in the negative. Instead of telling the entire world what they don't want, people should spend a little time crafting a message that tells us what they DO want. When I read a profile of a woman that has put in a laundry list of "don't wants" I get this sneaking suspicion that she is a negative person from the moment she opens her eyes in the morning. Not my kind of woman. | |
