LOLOL!!! I have often wondered the same. I met my bf on a dating sight, and b4 I actually found him I ran into the same thing!! I would just roll my eyes... this one guy was really cute and had a nice profile, but in the pic he had his shirt off flexing his muscles!!! It was like...NEXT!

 

I also saw men with the stripper-type girls nuzzling up to them...or sitting at a table in a bar (obviously drunk) with a dozen empty beer bottles in front of them... I thought what the hell? lol.

 

It's like: "Heyyyyy ladies! I'm an alcoholic, lets go get a DUI together...!"

 

Yeah, I'll jump right on the flirt button......NOT!

 

Women do this too, I saw some while browsing and posing with hunky men; their boobs and a$$ hanging out and a drink cupped in their hand.

 

It's like: "Hey guys, I'm even a bigger slut than your last girlfriend....PM me pleeeease!" lol

 

This was a site based on people looking for serious dating and relationships. In some cases I feel that people inadvertently tend to attract the same sort of people they failed with in the past. :sick:

I've gone out of my way a few times to ask if the sausage is included.

 

 

hahahahaha!!!:lmao::lmao::lmao:

I can't stand the ones where the guys have their shirts off (guys would probably love it if we posed that way lol). Or "making muscles" or with their big boat or car or whatever. Or too many pictures. Any hint of vanity and I'm gone.

 

Also hate the one's where someone is OBVIOUSLY cut out of the photo. Is it that hard to get a photo of yourself? Is that the ONLY time you looked that good? :lmao:

 

:lmao::lmao::lmao: Yes! The cropped photo thing where you can still see sprigs of a woman's hair near his shoulder or face...haha! :lmao::lmao::lmao:

If he has more than two or three photos up at all, unless they're of his dog lol, I skip it too. That's just too much...screams "Look at me!!!"

 

I find the profiles where they say things like "crazy women need not apply" or whatever to be a big turn off too. If it's been bad enough for him to have to state that, it makes me think maybe he's doing the crazymaking :laugh:

 

 

Absolutely!!! Same here. If they emphasize "No Drama" too much (like 3 times in one paragraph) I tend to get the feeling that either he is helping create some drama, or he can't deal with the work it takes to have a healthy relationship.

I am laughing so hard right now!! Yeah, I saw one sitting in the computer chair pitchin' a tent in boxer briefs!!

 

Why don't they just say..."I am a looooooooooser!"

I reported him to every dating site that said he was divorced. Told them he was NOT D and I knew because I was his wife :lmao:. His profiles came down pretty quickly. If he managed to catch anyone during that time, they were in for a rude awakening when all his toys disappeared lol.

This is another reason why it is not good to scorn a woman.

I freaking hate it when women try to come across like these huge walking paradoxes :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:. Like "I like the outdoors, but I also like to dress and go on the town. I'm active, but I enjoy staying at home just as much. I'm a girly girl, but I also like to watch and play sports. I'm a bit of a social butterfly, but I also enjoy my close circle of friends"

Etc. Etc. Etc. In these exact words, with minimum, if any variations.

Whatever. If you're actually a paradox, at least come up with something meaningful, otherwise you merely broadcast to the world that you are as plain as they come, and certainly not too smart.

Looks like I need to make some edits to my profiles..

Thing is, I think people put those "paradoxes" in there to show they are multifaceted and adaptable. "I enjoy being crazy but I also know when to be serious / I like the outdoors but I also enjoy chilling at home with a movie / I love butchering animals but I'm a vet blah blah etc."

 

The problem is that you end up with too many profiles that pretty much say the same thing. Focusing on more unique attributes, in my opinion, makes for a better profile. I think it's just hard to do for many people.

Profiles are a joke and the people sites hire to review them, doubly so. I hope I'm never on the market again.

Crap- I have a bit where I say I am as comfortable in heels as I am in baseball shoes. It's honestly true- but I thought I was portraying something original when I said so.

 

Should I take it out?

No way! It's who you are, which is awesome.

 

:laugh: I said something similar on my profile too!! In essence, I explained that I cannot be pidgeon-holed into one category or another.

 

My BF sure liked it though... ;)

The F'd up thing is.. those of us that avoid posting the shirtless pics or head only shots... don't seem to necessarily attract any attention either. *shrug*

 

One of my peeves are people that post a pic that has nothing to do with the site.. like I care if you post a pic of a sunset or waterfall.. what does that have to do with you?

 

Those that require a pic for an response but doesn’t offer one of themselves.

 

Those that decide not to post a pic cause they don't "wanna put themselves out there" yet refuse to answer unless you send them a pic first... they like to shop and decide w/o offering the other party a chance to decide themselves.

 

Pics taken from so far away you can't make out the face clearly or even the body.

 

Pics taken then had some funky generic Photoshop filter applied to them like stained glass or mosaic.. making the pic totally worthless.. but it shows their artistic side... yea.. default PS filters.. real creative genius there.
