Bad grammar and no puncuation. Makes me think that they don't know how to write.

I can't quote from my phone...sorry Hello  and thanks Peggy. I agree a least fill out and put a little thought into the written profile. Nothing makes it easier to move on than no interests or knowing you have a job, except for maybe tell you later.
Guilo I am not totally certain but some are blocking geographical regions because they don't want a long distance relationship, or they can't afford or don't want to travel. There is not really a good way to express those things without it making an upbeat profile look bad. I agree that saying Americans, Asians, or any other descriptors don't waste your time is a big detractor. Maybe in reality they had one to many bad experiences previously with others from that descriptor, and instead of just saying no thanks to the many messages a women is likely to receive, she opted to put it right in the profile. Just the first two things that came to mind when I read your post. Wow ... I couldn't have said this better myself :) Welcome to the forums, and I am sure you will meet some great people on the forums! |

I guess i'm trying to figure out what a perfect photo might be and if someone post there academic achievements why that might be considered a turn off? Hi Urstill here :) There are very articulate and intelligent people who never attended university but they are voracious readers and students of life and are excellent conversationalists. I would imagine that the people who are turned off by the pics of academic qualifications are those who fear they will be SOLELY judged on their degrees and not on the length and breadth of their life knowledge and experiences or even their character. It's just about the impressions that certain gestures give off in a profile, and first impressions are highly significant on a dating site. |

Bad grammar and no puncuation. Makes me think that they don't know how to write. As this is an international site, there are many cases where English is not the member's first language so their expression of it is grossly inadequate. But yes. There are also some who are not highly educated, and perhaps they will attract people who are compatible with their educational level.

If the word 'irregardless'(it's not a word) shows up, or the phrase "more better"
The two above only apply to native English speakers... |

I do not like how nothing is filled out. Nothing about whether he smokes, drinks, or religion. At least fill in the basics! ;-) The other thing I do not like is when a fellow complains about women. For example, instead if saying "I do not want a high maintenance woman" and list how he does not want to be told what to do with his money, he should put "Seeking a confident, independent woman who desires a partnership in the relationship." What is "high maintenance"? That is going to be different for each person. One more thing, dissing the exes. Seriously? Do not talk about the exes in a profile. I agree. Dissing exes, whining about past relationships, wallowing in self pity, whether in the profile or in chat, to me aren't exactly "turn ons". |

hate profiles with no pix. are you that ugly or hiding from someone like a wife or gf?

Lack of picture and lack of information are getting annoying. The best scam I have seen so far is one guy who 3 days ago was a black man and single today shows him as a white widower. What the heck?

Even live remotely close....shame on mingle |

Why is a photo so important on a profile when one does not know one another? why would one risk a face on the internet. Photo are acceptable only when one on one is my opinion I don't think you can change my mind. If a person is so visual I don't believe you see the personality in the profile. Excellent...I concur. |

In an introduction email a guy addresses me as dear, sweetheart, darling, honey etc. as an ice breaker. He doesn't know me, I don't know him and I find extremely irritating!!! If a guy wants to introduce himself he should tell me a little about himself. It is such a turn off!!
