What are your pet peeves about dating sites?

Some of mine are:
Not real photos(models or actors)
OLD photos ( like high school!!!)
Photos with guys holding big, slimy fish
Photos of guys with no shirt on used for the first profile photo
Profiles with poor grammar
Profiles with NO grammar!

What are yours?

I think its kinda tacky if guys are looking to date but have a pic of them and their ex or a lot of girls surrounding them like they are a player or something-not attractive!

I dislike lists. Lists are aggravating for the following reasons:

1) They take a lot of time to read and type.
2) They are indicative of OCD behavior.
3) They are usually listed vertically. I like to do things horizontally. pitchfork :banana:
4) What was the issue again?
5) I don't like checkmarks. I prefer the "crossing out" technique and most dating site patrons use a checkmark system.
6) ETC

Anyone who lists things usually doesn't like me. I'm listless by nature ... especially if I have recently eaten and accidentally swallowed a gallon of tequila.

the problem is that most people want to communicate with someone who communicates in a similar fashion. There are enough people with good grammar and enough without it so that there is someone for everyone; but a person who gets irritated by poor grammar had better date someone who feels the same way. It's just a matter of preferences; some people like tall, most people like fit or slim; some people like long hair; some people like good grammar; and some people dont' see the importance of it.

For me it only becomes a problem if I am unable to understand what it is that you are trying to say. This is where good grammar and punctuation come in- it helps in understanding the meaning. If the meaning is clear, I don't stress about it.

I want to see several pictures, to get an idea of what the person is about.

NO info in the About Me section or limited info. How am I supposed to start a conversation if they don't give me anything to work with.

Pics of a person in his underwear. I don't know you well enough for that!

Mirror pics. Come on, if I can take a good photo of my face with my own camera with my short arms, so can anyone else. You don't need to resort to the mirror trick.

But the BIGGEST pet peeve of all is the use of U and R and UR in emails an on profiles. I totally understand the need for it in text messaging. But when you are using a full keyboard, you are sitting at a computer and have time, there is no need for those short cuts.

I love when the main picture is a scan of a photo that is so old it's fading and yellowing, and they have a hairdo that clearly is from the '80s.

But the ones that I always laugh at are the ones that start off with....
"NO CHEATERS. NO PLAYERS. IF YOU'RE CROSS EYED AND YOUR DOG SMELLS LIKE SKUNK, JUST KEEP ON WALKIN"

Nothing like a postive message to make you want to read on, lol.
