They mention being a nice guy. They're overly religious. "I'm laid back." "Hit me up with any questions." Especially when they're profile is blank other than that. Those who have to mention they're not into drama. They're usually the ones who are full of drama. Pictures giving the finger or sticking out their tongue. i TOTALLY agree with the religion one, i feel like if i risk talking to said person they'll try to convert me or something.

I like long walks on the beach, want a person who can dress up and go out or dress down and cuddle up on the couch for a movie. Oh, the "I like to go out or stay in" line. Yeah, that's helpful.

ANY mention of "the beach". way to many profiles with "the beach"

We've had many threads about what people look for in another person. But, when looking through profiles, what makes you stop reading and move onto the next one? i check: pic's, age, body type, kids, then content. and if war and peace is a shorter read then i'm movin on. and i'm tired of headlines that read "looking for mr. right", "looking for my prince charming", "looking for the one"....... aren't most of us looking for that. Oh yeah. I don't like the ones who are looking for their princesses or queens. or when they " want to treat you like my queen" to me it sounds like a guy who's a bit of a pushover thats to eager to please

First and foremost the picture. being realistic you have to get past that even before you open a profile up to read it's contents. Then It all boils down to what they say or don't say based on my preferences. Sure they all say the basic same rhetoric walks on the beach, sunsets kids, no kids,height,weight and so forth. After I read the first page of this thread.. Its no wonder people don't actually meet as often as they should or maybe could? Including me.

Any whining or negativity in a profile is never a good thing.

Good Morning to all.Unless there is a specific want that a person has and I don't fit the bill,if there is something I defintly feel uncomfortable about.Otherwise I pay more attention to the letter or letters written to me.I have come to find that a person isn't always the way I read them to be if only going by profile.Both ways,some are diffrent then I would think in a good way and some are not real about themselves in profile.So I read the letter first,then the profile.Also there are people nervous about what to say and many it's their 1st dating site profile,so I try not to judge to harshly. Ooops,just thought of something,not profile but reason I don't want to corespond with a man.When his messages are 3 words or 3 lines.I prefer longer messages and usually write longer ones also.
