........When I Was Using Dating Sites

I had a good chuckle about all the profiles I'd read online . I was sitting around one weekend and I came up with my list of instant NEXT PROFILE PLEASE reactions. I thought I'd post mine rather than leave it locked in my brain.

1. Anything that has you in a photo with a stuffed animal or Winnie the Pooh shirt, sheets, sweatshirt. I'm sorry but the fact you still have attachments to things an 8 year old girl does is not at all attractive. That you advertise it as who you are is truly scary.

2. Born Again Christian. Okay, let's be clear here. I am a Christian. I do not make it my primary identity. I am not preachy and every woman I've ever met that said "It's just part of who I am." before we met ended up asking me by the end of dinner something like "Have you found Christ?". UGH! Religion is personal. When I saw this in an ad I couldn't hit next fast enough.

3. Picutres of your kids, if you have them. Okay, let's be realistic. There are many single moms on dating sites. We know that, we accept that. However there are things women need to consider. This is the internet. This is where child predators come to play. This is where they can get to know mom and gain her trust in order to get to her kids. Besides, you're an adult and have made the conscious decision to put your picture out there for all to see. I'm willing to bet your kids did not. Besides, they're kids, act like a responsible mother and keep them safe.

4. Group pictures. You know I've always wondered why women do this. It's hard to make you out in the crowd sometimes, sometimes it's not if you had a individual photo. However, and guys don't tell me this isn't true, we look at these most times and a common reaction is "Who's the cute one next to you."

5. The drunken bar scene cell phone photo. Okay yeah, you had on a hat, some beads, it was New Year's and you remember it being so much fun, it probably was. I think of all the women that could barely walk out the door yet fell into bed with someone then either did a Coyote Ugly or had one done to them the next morning. Right or wrong I just think insta one night stand and she won't call the next day(s).

6. Headline or first two sentences that include "Friends first.". It's the most horrible online dating cliche ever. There are guys who aren't immediately trying to get into your pants for the sake of getting into your pants. The fact that you don't know this pretty much shows that you've made horrible judgements early on in relationship, hopped into the sack one too many times too early and figure that if you put this claim in guys won't think you're easy. The reality is the smart ones know you've been easy and just regret it.

7. The picture with "a guy". If he's within 10 years of you age wise the first thing that comes to mind is "Did she do him?". With Plenty of Fish, the reaction to this is NEXT PROFILE PLEASE!

8. I like long walks on the beach, candle lit, fireplaces.... Yeah okay cliche factory, next.

9. Standalone pictures of your pet. Really, sure, you love it. I'm sure it's a nice pet. Is anyone going to look at it and say
"Wow, nice cat! I gotta reply!".

10. The gratuitous boob shot. Great, you have them. Grats on your blessings from God. Guess what kind of guy you're going to attract? Guess what kind of woman guys think you are when you post them. The topper is always the sentence or phrase that includes "Comments about my chest are not appreciated." well WTF are we supposed to comment on when you've shoved them in our face so to speak? Cover them up, be modest, or don't display them like neon lights if you don't want the comments.

There were more but that's what I remember and the most common ones I remember.

One of my all time favorites is someone on a dating site looking for friends. A dead give-away to a pathetic life or you were just released from prison.
Then they block you if you are looking for Talk/E-mail, Activity Partner or Hang Out!!
These are the things that I DO with FRIENDS!!! slaphead
