I know us men are particularly bad for that but when I see a woman doing it I get the feeling they will expect me to do the talking, and more often than not it turns out to be the case.

A lack of specifics to me shows a lack of specific interests, knowledge, ambitions. It also shows a sign of desperation and sheepishness...I mean it's like an attempt to cover all the bases or appeal to the widest group possible rather than the person they really would prefer to be with. I could go on LOL but you get me.


I agree, lazy women get the flick from me, why should I overextend myself to accommodate your laziness? You're a big girl, get back to me when you're serious about dating.

I found it very easy to not put any of that crap in my profile. In fact it never even occurred to me that I might want to, before I realised that so many other people do.

OP, your post cracked me up then made me sad. All of those things I have seen many times and cried "whyy? whyyyy?" :P

I know right? It's like you want to slap them around or beat them up if you were in some sort of Japanese Anime in a vain attempt to slap the stupid out of them. I know, strange how that came into my mind?

I saw a lot of very vague profiles on dating sites. I think that's part of why they're not very effective. How to meet someone compatible when all you know is that they like everything everyone else does?


That's what I find so frustrating and probably why I posted that I'm so against tattoos as well. It's like women (and probably men) are all being unique... by being just like everybody else. I'm starting to wonder if women even know what's important to men outside the obvious of looks. I find I can learn more from just their faces (NOT their bodies) than by reading their vague, cliche ridden profiles.

The bottom line is this is why online dating doesn't work. I couldn't care less about a gal's hobbies or interests, how much money she makes or what they are majoring in. I want to know how they treat children, waitstaff, how pets/animals react around them and how open and friendly they are and if they give off a "glow" and if they are feminine. None of these things you can find out from a computer screen and it can be a nightmare to try to arrange a face to face meeting at least without wasting a lot of time due to the flood of creepy men. To be fair to women, my last date mentioned how she had to give up online because all the messages she got were from guys looking for NSA encounters and that probably scares away all the women that would interest and be interested in me.

I'm not saying that everyone's profiles that acquires cliches are bad, but with me, I read between the lines, and almost get an exact model of who they could be. It's quite judgmental, but we cannot help it.
Like, if a person's profile consists of ghetto slang and vocabulary of middle school, then most likely you won't be getting a decent convo out of this individual. LoL

Like here's one

I love to laugh

About what!! !? You can clarify this by putting something witty into your profile. Yes, all humans laugh, some don't even love it--but they do.
What types of comedy makes you roll over on the floor?

I won't settle for less than I deserve

Umm......you're on a dating site. So step your ass off the pedestal and high horse. What you deserve is to be slapped thinking you're entitled to the best of the best and on a dating site at that!

Now mind you, when I read this profiles I don't message people bashing them about it. I just don't message them at all. It's the unique profiles that get me. Some that go into detail and not too much detail. I don't mind lengthy ones either because some people really like talking about themselves (they could be secretly historians) historians love to hear themselves talk. Lol

C'mon folks! I know we see pupil to pupil on this! Bare with me here! Lol


NSA [No Strings Attached]

That's what damn near 70% of the guys online want. Lol
And if a string or two are attached, you must have wooed him a certain way. So he'll have more strings to hold him down.
Make your Pinocchio become a real boy. ;)

@Shaded

My personal favourite jerkwad OKC quote so far is this: "It will take a really special hot lady to pin me down"

Where do I sign up, I thought to myself, I will fight them all off, you are clearly worth it. [/sarcasm so heavy and sharp it could have sunk the Titanic]

Now what type of s**t is that!!?
Id be like, dude get the hell over yourself! Special hot lady? Its not gonna take a special lady to pin him down. The first girl that'll suck his cock backwards or something is the one he'll fall for eventually. Lmao
So basically he's saying, I'll f**k you. But if you're not it, your just not it. I'll be f*****g others for sure.
I've seen that cliché in various forms in guy's profiles. Like, I'm a total bachelor. But if you can do this and be that, I'm ready to go all the way. And so contradicting that they put 'Looking for relationship' , 'Looking to Date', 'Looking to Date but Nothing Serious'. You damn right its nothing serious! But you are seriously delusional! Lol

Kinda reminds me of this girl's profile that been up for two years now. She is pretty attractive but has an intelligent profile and seems to want a family, serious relationship, etc etc but at the end she says "if you want to earn the privilege of taking me out to dinner and a movie, you had better step up your game." Yeah, she sounds like she would make a great relationship partner :roll: No wonder she is still active on the site. Where do people get the nerve to make such arrogant boasts such as these? Are they delusional about their value?

I suppose in a way it is refreshing to see a woman come right out and say it. I just came back from OKCupid and I swear if it wasn't for my city being visible in most pictures I would assume they are ALL fake accounts as they all say pretty much the exact same things over and over again almost word for word. Yawn. Do women (and again probably men) not read what their competition is saying? It's not hard to come up with a unique profile that doesn't look like a computer program wrote it.

Hey, if everyone were capable of being unique and interesting, those qualities would no longer be high in demand.

Take for example my OKC profile (currently not active) - it was clearly a piss take profile that even said that most of it was made up.
I get a message from a guy that seems all right and maybe even intelligent, going by his profile

Message 1: Hi, you seem interesting.

Me: Thank you. What is interesting about me?

Message 2: Your profile is interesting and your photo is interesting.



Um. Yeah. :roll:

Psh, if you were my age or I was your age, I'd cut right down to the chase:

Me (struts up): Hey baby, wanna make a baby? Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
Leafplant: ...(Punches)

Haha, yeah! My profile is kind of wacky, too, but the key points are a) I am looking for friends only, because b) I am still recovering from the death of my fiance.

So when I get messages that say "Hi, you are beautiful and you have a great profile" the first thing I do is check the sender's profile for "scammer grammar." If anything there raises an eyebrow, then I do an image search. So far, I have been 100% on target for spotting the scammers, just based on those initial messages. I don't reply back - I just report them.
