My profile is an amazing example....just saying

people send their mobile number and face address and all at the very first mail and name it as "being modern" !!?? sorry, i will go for the traditional(ish) way in all my friendships :/ hfff ...

easy tribu..............

Maybe I'm being too selective. Afterall, I've been burned twice on this site from two different females.

For me I look at profiles like a job resume. The person writing the profile is seeking the "job" of being someone's other half.

When their picture is of an Asian woman, for example, and their ethnicity is "Caucasian" or "Native American" and they live in "New York, California", chances are they're a scammer.

Saying "Hi" is fine in the process of engaging in a face-to-face conversation, but for me, it doesn't impress upon me in a dating profile.

Oh, another pet peeve; writing the "blurb about yourself" in the "interest" section and filling out the "blurb" with "Hi...".

i saw this very "full" and i would call it a "paid attention and respect" profile. i could nearly draw his character map out of his "about me" text. it was obvious that he tried his best in filling it. we kind of made normal friends. and he is exactly the same as what he wrote on his profile. a very extraordinary situation here.

Just a friendly reminder~~~~~

Please do not post about e-mails you have received on this site nor post what another member has on their profiles that is on this site.

All discussing of Profiles or E-mails must be of what could be done ect.. Not of what they sent you within this site..

Due to all members have access to the forums and we do not want a member to read something they have put on there profile word by word and it get dissected by other members.

If in fact this thread goes that way it could be locked or deleted..

Please Respect all Members for it is their choice what they prefer to put on their profiles..

Only time members are allowed to comment on Members Profiles that are on this site is if they post in the RATE ME FORUMS. And ask to be rated.

As far as the e-mails that you have received from Mingle2 saying you have been cleared as a spammer/scammer. That is due to a program they put in for that specific reason. At times if you do a lot of e-mailing between several members it catches it, and checks to see if it is a scammer sending e-mails. Once it has been cleared you are not a scammer, then a e-mail is automatically sent to the member once they have been cleared to let them know. If you are not cleared it will in fact lock you out.

With that said please RESPECT what others choose to put in their profile or not put in their profiles~~~~

I don't like when they have no information on their profile or want you to ask them later. Also if they have no picture I always think what are they trying total hide. And it really bugs me when the picture is blurry or the have sunglasses and a hat on....mysterious for some scary to me you never know what people Are trying to hide.

broken English always a turn off but why if they indicate military? Am I missing something?

I did the online dating thing for almost 10 years before I met the woman I'm with now. Also, I volunteered to help out with conflict resolution on a site much larger than this one. I did that for almost 6 months. They called it "Moderating." I called it, "Listening to people gripe and complain." So, I've seen and heard a little bit of everything. And had a lot of things to happen to me on that site.

I don't understand why women gripe about men and their faults. When women are just as bad. I once had a woman to write and ask if I liked BJ's? I said sure. If the woman doing it knows how to do it right. The next thing I knew this stranger was cussing me out and telling me that she would like to cut my "pecker" off and watch me bleed out.

I once had a woman to cuss me out because I didn't answer her message fast enough. And also, because I didn't answer her message while I was on site.
I've had many women to shake their boobs at me. I've been asked to cam with several women. And when it opened up, well, let's just say I got to see all their glory.

In 10 years I've seen some of the worst written profiles. I've had women to tell me they knew I didn't read their profile because I didn't ask any questions about their profile and what they had written in it. When the truth be told their profile really had nothing in it to ask about.

I can't even begin to tell how many I've seen with either nothing written in it. Or maybe two or three lines. They usually all say close to the same thing.

(1) I'll tell you later. (2) My kids are #1 in my life. Lets a man know right quick where he will be in the pecking order. (3) I don't know what to write here. (4) I hate filling these things out. (5) If you want to know just ask.

And it goes on and on. I could fill up a whole page about what has irritated me. Or some may rather call it "peeves" me. But the fact of the matter is, people are people. They are just who they are. If you are going to online date, the best thing to do, when you go into it, Is go into it not expecting anything. Put your peeves aside and accept people the way they are. It's easier that way. At least, it was to me. I think it's the reason why I got a lot of dates. I met a lot of kooky kooks. But I also met a few good women. And for the most part, I had fun.

i think i am putting great effort in seing the fingers/nails of the person (it is rare that you can catch a hand shot lol). this is kind of my obsession.
the bitten nails = run in the opposite direction !

Being in the military is such a noble thing , but in the chatroom, you have to be really careful with people who post that as their profession because it is used as a common smokescreen for scamming. Ofcourse this doesnt apply to all military profiles so make sure all the information they give is adding up

There are actually a few legitimate reasons that people dont post a pic. In some cases , their profession doesnt even allow it and there are other reasons mentioned earlier in this thread but I feel the same way as you do. Its hard for me to relate to the person without a pic

What about the "indicate they are widow" criteria?
Do you think they write that to create affection? or?

I think we have been given some great tips by the site and the chatters in this thread to identify scammers. I'm sure you are better at it now I have also noticed the posting of blurb information in the interests section. I'm not too sure why people do that either but once they put something substantial there, I am prepared to give it a pass

Does everyone on here ever consider that there are people that steel your profile picture all the time? I read a couple of months ago that a lot of people that post their picture on the internet (including dating sites), have their pictures stolen and used by anyone for anything. I have seen a lot of the same pictures all over the place. That's creepy.

I did consider it and I suspect that is why some people opt not to publish their pic. As with all things in life, we decide what risks we are willing to take. I really wanna meet someone special and for me , not posting a photo decreases the chances of that happening . So its a risk I decided to take. Everyone has to do what feels right for them

At the beginning of my profile, I give the following reason for not having a profile image:

To be honest I don't like pictures of me... why should I torture you with one?
