Mon 12/01/08 11:55 PM


1) Anyone who doesn't have a picture up. i demand to know how ugly you are before i can make the decision to shun you as beneath me or not.
i)You must have a close up of your face so that i may inspect you for any hint of a blemish which will disqualify you from my contention.
ii) You must have a few body pics as well because i wish to rank you men according to degree of buffness and, accordingly, your degrees of worthiness for me to talk to you.

2)Any man who posts pictures with multiple people in it. This is indicative of having a life and friends. Very unattractive.

3) You must go through your profile with a fine-toothed comb and put in every single comma, every single apostrophe and every single full-stop. Perfect grammar is expected as well. You must prove to me that you are intellectually worthy of me talking to you. ( yes, missing spaces after punctuation marks is also indicative of a below par intelligence level)

4) Any semblance of a personality is unattractive. (this includes any pics that do not have you in it, pics that have only a body part of yours in it, cartoon characters, tattoos etc.

5) Finally, you must make the effort to convey in your profile that you wish to, in every way, please me because I am extremely high strung demand nothing less that you discard any hint of self respect and individuality you may think you have and devote your life to my worship and the satisfaction of my every whim.

Thank you.

1. Picture of 10 people and they never bother to tell you which one the profile belongs to.

2. Boob shot with no face shown. Hey, some of us are not mesmerized by boobs.

3. Picture of person hiding behind drapes. I actually saw this on another site.

4. Picture of obvious well-known celebrity and the poster claims that's them.

5. Picture of person hiding behind dog. I would probably love your dog, but I don't want to date him/her.

6. Picture of person holding bottle of alcoholic beverage. No thank you, that's immediate disqualification.

7. Picture taken up solely by large derriere. I do not need to read the label on your pants.

8. Picture of baby. This is not Date-A-Baby.com.

9. Picture of anyone holding up a fish. Yes, you've proven that with hundreds of dollars of equipment, you can outsmart a fish.

If you don't like a profile, you don't have to interact with the person that wrote it. Move on & be grateful that we have such creative freedom in making our profiles here, rather than relying on questionares with multiple choice questions.

Our profiles are our introduction. If someone was introduced to you in person, would you criticize their grammar, appearance, taste & style? I think not. I hope not. You would make a decision whether this was someone you wanted to get to know better or not. You would say, "well it was nice meeting you" & excuse yourself or you would strike up a conversation. It works the same way here.

but if you met a person in person and they did strike you as some one you disliked you would probably go home and gripe about it to a friend, that's what we're doing here.
I love the freedom we have with the profile but when it comes to people that offer ZERO info on themselves or that talk in complete L33t speak it annoys me.

Not likely I'd gripe to a friend about them unless they had been really rude to me. I'd be talking to & about people I was interested in.

What I like about your profile -
You seem to have realistic expectations & know what you want.
I like your beard. :smile:

Why must women put a picture of some stupid tattoo(usually on the lower part of the back)in their listing?Do you really think that seeing that tattoo is going to get me to change my mind about responding to you?I don't care about seeing your dragonfly,your name in Japanese,a rose,some tribal mess,or anything else.

I'll agree about the "tramp stamps". Major turn-off. I don't care WHAT the reason is for it.

If I see:

"I'm laid back and easy going"

"I like to go out or stay in"

"I love my friends and family"

"My friend told me about this site so I'm not going to write anything until I see if it's worth it"

"I hate writing about myself"

"Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask"

"No game players"

"I'll fill this in later"

"I'm a fun person who likes to have fun"

....it's pretty much a dead horse.

"Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask"



This one...I have somewhere in mine that if you have questions, ask, but prior to that I give you some info. I stick that in there because I don't know what people want to know, and I'm definitely not a conversation starter. To get me to talk, really talk, you'll have to ask me questions.

On the other hand, when I see this in someone else's profile, all alone, with nothing else, I don't give it a second thought. Because...I'm not a conversation starter.

Yes, I expect people to ask me questions but I don't intend to ask them questions >.<

The thing is, I would need something to ask ABOUT. But I see literally hundreds of profiles with "Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask" as the total text of the thing. Where do I start? Where's my incentive TO ask? At that point, you're left with little other than the basic mundane cliches -- "How's your weather?" or "Are you hot in a miniskirt?" or "Did you hear about that election thing?"

Suddenly snoozin'.

OK...I just need to rant a bit. These are some things I simply hate to see in a profile...what drives you nuts.

A pic of a man with a woman...I dont care if she is your sister or not.

A man rockin on his guitar. (if your are over 35, I no longer find this "cool"){I am sure I will get some hate mail on this}

Someone taking a self photo in the middle of a mess. Please put down the camera a clean up a bit.

A random sunset scene, with no pic of yourself. Please people...

10 pics of your face and not ONE body shot...what are you hiding? I am by far not perfect, but I am not trying to trick you into dating me either.

This is just a starter list, please feel free to ad your own gripes.frustrated


Good post. Want me to share a pic of my bod? I've seen you peekin'.

The thing about the profiles is, it is your personal space here to reflect and express who you are. If you think about it, what folks post and what they say without censorship, aside from the site guidelines, which are pretty lenient, is a reflection of who they are. If we all conform to a strict set of guidelines to 'please' folks then it's not truly who we are, it becomes a little bland, restricts our self expression, it's like cookie-cutter profiles, we're all just alike. So, you might not like it, but you actually get a pretty good idea of what that is person is like from the pics they chose to put up for all of us to see, i.e, exhibitionist, pet lover, fisherman, hunter, dancer, body builder, ROCKER. I would rather that than have someone try to conform and not be allowed to showcase who they really are. My 2 cents.


I am by far not asking anyone to regulate my opinion....By all means, post pics of your guitar, guns whatever, your right...shows me who I want to stay away from.

I hate getting emails from people that want to chat me up and don't have a single line of information on their profile other than the minimum requirements. Let's see....what do we talk about? Hmmmmmm.....I see here that your 5'3".....how's that working out for you? You don't smoke? Why not? Tell me about it....Hey, that "few extra pounds" characteristic is just what I have been looking for....come here you!
