Ladies, what's the biggest turn on in a profile, the one thing that makes you go from checking a profile out to messaging him?

Likes road trips, no kids, doesn't mind relocating and a couple of other things most people don't think about.

A nice, positively written profile text. And his height.

If I see spelling mistakes, I'm off.
If the text starts with "Don't contact me when blablabla..." I'm off. I don't need a negative thinking man. I'm looking for a positive, happy person.

So in your case, I'd be off on both counts.

I think sharing same interests, hobbies, values, etc. Of course you may not share all of those, but sharing some will form a basis of a sound relationship.

Compatibility of personalities is a must.

A well written profile that, actually has paragraphs, spelling pretty good, grammar to the point I can understand it.

Something that isn't too long and yet leaves me wanting to know more.

I haven't ever sent a message of hey I am interested, I have sent message to men after I have read their profile and it is well done.

Welcome to the Forums

wit and humor

At least several of the following if not all.

Smiling lead photo

Additional photos that represent that person's life; the more the better. Pictures of things we might actually do on a date are really what I am looking for.

I don't need to see pictures of your kids but it would be nice to know if you have them by some kind of verbal reference to their age frame and if they are live in. Same for room mates.

Same goes if you have pets.

Every basic profile question answered; no skips. No fake locations.

At least three specific interests and lifestyle comments; or more. Generics are worthless to start a conversation from. I don't have to like everything the person is interested in but he does have to be able to communicate about himself in fairly adult way. At least most of the basics.

NO Whining about who you do NOT want to hear from; especially scammers because they are not going to listen and you waste my time.

Tell me a general profile of who you hope to attract. If I don't meet your criteria I am not going to waste your time.

No bashing ex's; even by inference. Telling me you don't want a cheater is stupid; would anyone really admit that?

No trying to pretend you are younger than you are or that your age does not matter because as a reader I get to determine how I see you.

I do want to see you; no hat, no shades, and at least basic coverage. I have the ability to imagine what you look like nude and I am not dating your tattoos so I really don't need a complete inventory pictorial.

Skip the personality profile "babble" you got somewhere else or what your friends say because they are going to tell you what you want to hear. Most of the terms are too vague and open to interpretation so it is just blah blah blah.

State your religious affiliation and leave the sermon out. Most adults have a general tenants understanding of denominations and I can discuss specifics if I have questions later.

What are the couple of other things that you refer to that people don't think about?
