So...

When you are doing the 'mutual match' thingy...what automatically turns you off and on to the next match (assuming that you don't read anything about the user).

Is it pictures of kids, multiple people in the pic (and you have no idea who the user is), too fat (or too skinny), apparent lifestyle, etc, etc...we'd like to know!

I don't really use mutual match, but I've flipped through it. I disregard men without shirts, pictures with no face shots, men who look downright grimy, and men who don't seem to know what hygiene is. Oh, and blurry pictures.

The glassy-eyed stare with the overly-dramatic laughing smile of someone who is drunk or stoned, while they are holding another beer. A picture of a celebrity who doesn't have any need of a dating site....text-speak written as a header. The mingle logo....whoa

Well, let's see....

Kids

Multiple people pics, no identification as to who the profile belongs to (have you noticed how one of them is always gorgeous, and the rest look like Nixon in a wheelbarrow?)

Alcohol

Cliches

Bad spelling/grammar/punctuation

"I don't know what to write here" (whose fault is THAT?)

"Anything you want to know, you'll have to ask" (I'm not really all that interested.)

Cleavage shots/butt shots (Reeks of desperation and "This is all I've got to offer.")

KIDS!!!!!! scared

Headless, shirtless torso shots (Reeks of desperation and "This is all I've got to offer.")



See above and I modify it to suit my perspective ^^^^ (Lex and I think almost exactly alike)

Their age - I like to date 12-15 years younger.

Out of date style or "dad" types.

Out of shape, beer bellies, moobs, body hair, etc

Height - over 6.0 please winking

-----------------------------------------------

Now that I have that out of the way, I am in a relationship with someone who is almost nothing like what I have listed! laugh

He is one of the most intelligent men I've known (since 5th grade), he doesn't have kids and doesn't want them, he takes care of the ugly (grooming), and he makes laugh so hard I shoot water from my nose. smitten

I told you guys; whoever I meet will be very divergent to any list I make. I was open-minded enough and was swept off my feet. :banana:

I personally don't get why some people don't even bother to post a pic of themselves at all, but post a pic of their kid, dog, drawing of a flower, etc...after all...this is a dating site and i'm not here to see your kid, animals, or how talented you are at drawing...all that comes with time.

I don't really do mutual match. I did when I first joined but that's about it..

What turns me off:

Men half naked. (Just not attractive even if they are a 10)

Men with pictures of other girls. (seems to me they have a standard or I compare myself to that)

That`s about it.. I also don`t judge someone solely on their picture..

I got really excited when it said 17 people wanted to meet me.

17's my lucky number.

But I don't use mutual match and have no idea who these 17 phantoms are.

*scary ghost noises*

I just had an email yesterday saying "someone wants to meet you from mingle". I had no idea what that supposed to mean, because I never got such a mail soo...
It turns out, someone "mutual matched" with me

The first one in 2 years! LOL! laugh rofl
