What are some of the elements in profiles from the photograph to the written content that you consider a complete turn-off or at least a pet peeve?
None, anymore. Your question implies: 1. I'm turned on when reading profiles, so can be turned off. Reading profiles is like reading an ikea manual anymore. It's just information. Either useful, or not. If not, move on. If so, then for what purpose. 2. I get annoyed reading a profile, as though they are directly interacting with me. Profiles don't really annoy me anymore. It takes a few seconds to read, and I'm not really interacting with a person by reading it. So how could it annoy me. 3. There is a "right" way to fill out a profile, and that "right" way is to try and turn me on, or keep me turned on, and not be annoying from my perspective. A persons profile is about them. Not me. Getting annoyed or turned off makes it seem like I believe their profile exists to satisfy my expectations and make me finding what I want the most important thing. I figure if I'm having an emotional reaction based on reading a profile then I'm taking things way too seriously or I'm seeing online dating no different than a kid in a candy store, full of objects I am entitled to try and if I don't like the taste then it's their fault, and I'm in a hurry to find the best tasting thing to satiate my appetite and they're wasting my time with the yucky stuff. I don't want to be that way. So...I see profiles as pretty meaningless anymore unless they have what I consider relevant information that makes me want to talk to them about something, not forces me to emotionally react. 99.99999999999% don't. So, either learn to find that .000000001%, or spend a lot of time being frustrated and turned off and emotionally crazy. Being turned off or pet peeved by profiles seems like smacking myself in the head with a hammer repeatedly in order to knock myself unconscious so I don't feel the pain of being hit in the head with a hammer, anymore. |

Pretty young Russian or American girls who like my profile and would like to know me better so maybe we'll get married, when clearly it says I'm only interested in UK based people, so couldn't have read the profile.
PS Tulip: I often click favorite on a profile if I like them but they're offline, I'll try to chat next time I see them on, and then just wait to be blocked or ignored (charming, lol) |

I am sure everyone loves the "one word" reply, duuu! haha 
Or the person that looks at your profile but does not read it (I have young kids). Soooo, No I will not meet you at odd hours. duuu! 
Agreed! Not apoealing at all. Just evidence of the person being able to read and string nouns, verbs and adjectives together in a half-decent way would encourage my heart so much! |

It would be terrific if more people took the time to read profiles so they could respond or not respind appropriately. That being said, i realise that some people are just persistant by nature and will deliberately ignore parameters in pursuit of what they want. It isnt appealing to me personally but who knows? Maybe that persistence works well for them in their life. Who am I to judge? |

turn offs no response ask me later negative ninnies(profiles that are mostly complaints and turn offs) pompous prats(profiles are about whats wrong with others) materialistic(profiles about what they own, what papers or certificates or degrees they have, etc,,,) and of course the shirtless picture(unless its appropriate to the surroundings like the beach or a pool) I think some people use their profile as an opportunity to vent their grievances and anger with the world. I dont find it attractive personally, but i sympathise with them. I wouldnt be surprised if no one in their real world actually pays them any attention so they use this forum with a wide built-in audience to meet that need. |

Oh yeah butribu! I forgot about that! Lol... the guys with the cheesy sex names eg spermdelight, cum4 u etc. I'm usually laughing too much at their names to actually respond. That being said, some people really do come here for sex and in that case, they are targetting a very specific audience . 'To each man his own' as the saying goes. |
