When viewing a profile male or female, what things would make you think twice when looking for a potential partner/relationship or friend?

Here are one or two of my put offs ~

1. They show the top half of their body, naked.
2. They are laying on a bed or couch in a seductive way
3. They are holding an alcoholic drink or cigarette in their hand or are surrounded by
alcohol.
4. Misspelt words.
5. They are clearly lying about their age.
6. They are 30 years your junior and their starting line is "Hey Babe"?

Do you have any pet peeves?

All those, plus mainly NOTHING written as a profile..excpet that stupid "tell ya later" or "ask me anything"..

Immediate pass...I do not have the time or interest to try and ferrret out if we'd have anything at ALL in common...

The "Nothing written" Is definitely a waste of time. :)

I forgot..

Pictures where you are:

Sticking out your tongue

Making fish lips

Or putting a weird expression on your face ~on purpose~
(I could post examples of this ^, but the mods would probably delete the pics)

Holding/ grabbing your crotch
(not a good look for a 20 year old...and even more disgusting in someone who is 50+)

You just made me LOL!

Pics that look like a Police mugshot, a passport photo or a possum caught in a spot light. No smiling!

I don't mind non-smiling pictres myself..
I m not a smiler...even in my school pictures as a kid, I always had a serious look on my face...it's *rare* to see me even grinning in any picture ever taken.

I figure maybe the guy is the same way...

Okay so you could be right about the smiling thing but for me, a smile is like a light in the window of your soul. Sometimes that darn smile can make you think about that person again ;)

Some profiles state that they are from my country but their pics show otherwise. There is nothing wrong with holiday pics but I tend to shy away from those who say they come from NZ but their pics are taken in foreign countries ~ simply due to scammers.

Yep..if you know how to do an image search..you'll find a lot of those pictures were stolen from someone else, or a modeling site...

easiest way to out a scammer.....LOL

nothing on profile. looking for love or wife(feels clingy), political commentary, bathroom mirror selfies, majority of photos with a drink or beer or partying. classist commentary. And a big one is the decision to look like they are taking a mug shot instead of to look welcoming.

Lol! all good points. Like the one about the "bathroom mirror selfies"

You can also tell when someone has not read your profile when they ask "if you're up for it" and your profile states you are looking for a man of God who is looking for committment in a relationship with the view of marriage. Which I just got a few seconds ago ;)

Lengthy blurbs about religious, or political agendas.

References to previous relationships. Especially,
negative references.

Photoshopped pics.

No sense of humor.

Obvious overstatements of self importance.

Inconsistency/incoherence in writing.

Incomplete profiles.

Snapchat photo editing. The animal ears and noses,
just make the person look like a 'tard.

Pictures with animals in the bed. Looking for someone to love me as I am. Needing someone to look after me. Looking for marriage. Any other needy phrase! Any thing that reeks of mental or emotional instability!!!

mad

Nope.
I have never been a smiler, even as a kid in school pictures.
And I assure you, I have all my teeth.
