everyone wants to have an awesome profile, to make themselves shine like gold.. however, i'm curious.. what makes you click off a profile ? or do you look at pics until you find someone good looking then read their page ? are there specific words in profiles that you look for ?

i know how i look at them.. and i'm intruiged by how otheer people look at them too.

Yeah, there are things but am I prepared to share them? 'cos once revealed my 'clues' about the 'real person' may get taken away. Here's some:-

I don't want to get involved with anyone who has a relationship.... so, if I see 'discreet encounters' it suggests somebody being a bit shady, and may be not really free, BUT it could also mean that they are single and they're prepared to have a liason with somebody else who's married and may be the type who 'cannot commit' so with somebody who's taken, it's unlikely to be an issue.

Men describing themselves as 'normal' 'Mr.average' types put me off 'cos I'd think they were boring or non-personalities. (Mind you I don't like proper weird or kinky head-cases either)

Men that say things like, I dunno what to put here and similar on their about me...... any guy who can't talk or share something about himself ISN'T going to get on with me. I mean, that's the main bit for selling oneself, if you can't think of anything for that, it just makes me wonder if they've got a brain between their ears.

More to come.......what I like to see next may be

The turn off profiles for me are when women arragantly just post..'I want this' or 'I dont want a man like that'. Especially when they dont write what they have to offer.

In saying that, the most successfulprofiles for me have been jokey ones bordering on eccentric profiles. Always seem to get some interest

Profiles that have just one high quality pic of a handsome man, I'm immediately suspiscious that they've just stolen it from a model. Once in a while a pic like that is a genuine model but if they are they'd often put an everyday kind of pic of themselves as well.
Oh I really can't stand that bit when the guy just wants anybody to message them " 'cos I don't bite or only if you want me to" loads of men put that, how unoriginal!!

hmn. i'm glad i'm not the only one that's a bit fussy when i look at them then. I look at different things, starting with the pictures.

Shallow maybe.. but hey there HAS to be some kind of attraction for anything to happen in the first place..

I have to admit that I look for a "Look" middle of the road types don't interest me. But I mean that at the physical expression of a personality, and not just straight nose with both eyes pointing in the same direction... So looks are important, in a way. Let's face it, I'm not going to get along with people that buy all of their clothes from H&M and Primark.

Then I also click off if all a person says they're interested in is "Spending time with family and friends, going to pubs and clubs" because if you can't think of anything more to say than that, you're a dull person.

I got in touch with my feminine side. She emailed me back saying if I ever contacted her again she'd call the police.

Yes stu, I do look at pics first too, as you say there has to be something that attracts me for a lover, but not really important for friendship.
I admit to being fussy too 'cos I don't really like close cropped or baldness, nor do I like thick bushy facial hair.... although none of these are exclusive 'cos the last guy I was with had short hair and a well trimmed beard and moustache and he is lovely, just loves too far away.

Yeah, that's true. I don't like 'shifty eyes' I like eyes that sparkle and have a depth to them. Eyes reveal so much and so do lines of expression on the face, be they ones of pain, joy, sadness, kindness...etc.they do reflect who a person is.
I may be better at 'reading' a face more than most folk because I used to work regularly with people who had little or no speech.

surely digitally editing your pictures just makes them fake?.

I am quite a keen user of photoshop and i don't edit my own pics - whats the point ? if you don't like the pic, don't upload it. No point in editing it when you can get other pics ?

I didn't mean digitally editing the pics, I just meant that most people have cams on phones or digital cameras that it's so easy to transfer images digitally onto web sites.

I get incredibley bored with profiles that don't have a picture on or don't have anything in the about me bit. Whats the point of being on here, us perverts can't have a nose otherwise.

I hardly ever reply to messeges i get sent on here because theyre usually boring bastards and you get that as soon as they send you a messege that my 1 and ahalf year old neice could write. I always ALWAYS look at pictures. Not to see if theyre good looking or not but suss out their character that way. The people is the "first impression" for most people, if not easier as you can ignore them.

I get put off by people that want to have an affair because he/shes partner isn't giving them enough blowjobs. Grow up. What are you, a love addict and can't help it, you've tired everything but you cant stop sleeping with other women?? Does my arse in. and empty profiles!!! you might as well be nobody! Its ok explaining what you look like.. i just didn't ask for the dimensions of your penis.

anyway rant over!
