not about the profile, but.. when i reply a mail, after a few mail exchanges the person starts "why are you so slow "hey are you there" "why do you reply so slow"
i am not a call center personnel sitting by the site 24/7. i have other things that i am dealing with too. maybe i am at thr forum chatting by that time. i reply when i feel like it or when i am available. what is that rush for?!

This doesn't get on my nerves as such but people who put photos up with their pets in it.
I don't mind that but I do tend to look more at the dog or cat or whatever  Not in a dating kind of sense I might add  |

Some chatters devote all their attention to the conversation they are having with one person and dont realise that others are often doing other things while chatting. I responded a few times to a guy yesterday and when i got bored waiting for his response, i entered the forum. I felt so bad when i returned to the chatter after forgettibg about him, only to realise he had left me a message half an hour before. Delayed responses or no response at are common features in the chatroom. It takes a while for some people to realise that |

People who put their phone number in their profile. I'm always tempted to call and like pretend I'm ordering a pizza. That idea is genius! Or maybe we could ask them if they sell ointment for hemroids !!!! Please be aware of phone scams, if you see a number on a profile or someone wants you to have their number so easily remember that number may be linked to a premium rate line and will run you up a massive charge, your network won't tell you until your bill arrives because the number you call will look like a genuine number because of a loop-hole in how the phone exchange works. On the other hand if they are genuine it stinks of easy/desperate too. |

i doesn't annoy me any, but.. "looking for an activity partner" what kind of activity? TBH I might be nieve but I first thought it meant like a friend to simply do things with, we all want and need friends to just hang out with from time to time, doesn't have to always be a best friend or even a partner. But after chatting to some other ladies on here I'm getting the impression that this phase "activity partner" is loosly a way of saying "friends with benefits" as for that very same reason you ask "what activity?" and what kind of partner. Which is unnecessary as there is already a listing for "intimate encounters" so makes me wonder what it was intended to means too. Maybe someone should email the site admins to clarify it's correct use. |

Profile pet peeves....don't really have them. But I really only look at profiles when someone says something in the forums that I leaves an impression...either good or bad. Sometimes it's to see if my snap judgment of them was correct, or sometimes it's learn more because they impressed me with their comments. in either case it doesn't really matter if its filled out or not, they don't owe me anything, sure if it is filled out it may lead to me messaging them because I'm interested in their opinions on a particular topic. But it also may mean that I superficially judge that my initial snap-judgment was correct and I don't message at all, and then skip most of their posts because Im not interested in their opinions and don't want to waste my time reading them....unless im really bored. but filled out or not, content is an advertisement for who they are, all I can do is decide is I'm interested in that advertisement. Your advertisement analogy is perfect as it illustrates the reality that a person has less than 10 seconds to compete with dozens of other chatters in order to stand out favourably and get a favourable response from their target. And there are only 3 avenues that the pursuer is afforded to get the attention they desire from their target:- 1)The profile pic which many pursuers screw up with poor lighting, bad angles etc, 2) the first line the pursuer approahes the target with, which is usually an unimpressive and generic "hi" and 3).the written content of the profile which many pursuers neglect. i think investing effort into all 3 avenues increases the chances of a favourable response by leaps and bounds ,especially when they only have 10 seconds to compete with several other people for the target's attention and response I think this is where I differ, yes the profile is an advertisement, but I believe it should be an accurate advertisement of who an individual is...you know 'truth in advertising'. I think my issue with advising what someone should and shouldn't put on their profile gives them a better opportunity to 'customize' and hide who they 'actually' are and actually 'target' an individual that they most likely aren't a good match for. I could list what i PERSONALLY don't like to see in a profile, but what I don't like, and what another guy doesn't like most likely will be two different things. I'm sure there are some 'general best practices' with profile etiquette. However, you run into the same thing I said above, you may not be seeing the 'real' individual. For example; You say 'don't have a shirtless pic' and 'smile'. Well what if the guy doesn't smile all the time, or takes shirtless pics constantly and puts them on Instagram...should he adjust his behavior just because he might 'have a higher chance with his 'target'? Or should he just go on being himself, and hopefully attract a women that likes that he's proud of his body? because she is also proud of hers and takes the same kind of photos? So after all that, the only advice I'd give for anyone on their profile....is to be genuine in who they are, so that that when someone does find their profile, and reads it, it connects with what that individual is actually looking for...instead of some superficial 'best practices' that try to force people to conform into something they may not be. |

I had mine set to "activity partner" when I first joined and got 10 to 15 messages a day. One conversation I was having with this girl got weird very fast and she kept saying she wanted a relationship not just activity which is why I get the FWB idea, now I've changed it to looking for friends a few days ago and since then no one messages, I can only guess no one wants to be friends (unless it's with benefits, lol).

Time for me to make a serious comment.
I don't quite understand people who put pictures of their kids on here. Each to their own but there is some weirdos kicking around. I often think they must be new to dating sites, and therefor don't quite realise what they're letting themselves in for. It certainly wouldn't be something I would do. |
