for me I don't like it when people write nothing about themselves or worse still when they put that they cant be bothered to write anything Exclamation

Also with pics, I find it a bit irritating when a person has huge sunglasses covering their eyes. Don't they realize eyes are probably the most important factor in physical attraction?

So what puts you off a persons profile or what turns you on to it?

I can't stand empty profiles. It only takes a few minutes to fill in a little bit of details, something about favourite music, or books, or hobbies.
I waffled a bit in my profile, but it only took me about half an hour to set up.

I agree with mirrorpool about the "check out my profile and get back to me" You take one look and think "Get back to you about what exactly?"

If you are genuine and honest about yourself,and there is someone who is also genuinely interested in wanting to know you,then sending them pictures shouldnt be an issue.For me this works both ways because if I read a profile and feel a vibe,I am more likely to respond to it without it having a picture to be honest. Yes profiles with pictures do help no doubt,but they can also cloud ones judgment too,as we tend to judge ourselves daily,based on appearance. In my experiences ,pictures may or may not help .I have had women prejudge me and form this picture in their mind about who I am,all based on my pictures,without them really wanting to get to know me.Then again I have had women who have genuinely shown an interest in me ,without seeing a picture or two,which for me says alot more in a sense.
Personally ,mental stimulation and intelligent conversation can compensate for pictures,especially if there a genuine interest from both of you,and especially if you plan to meet up for that initial coffee,lol
Very Happy


If some women judged you and some women didnt, I dont see what the argument is to not have a pic against having one? It is down to personal choice but you say you experienced the opposite ends of reactions to pics so I dont see how it is better to not have one.

Personally I think it is far better to have a pic up than not have one, whether we like it or not, other people WILL judge us and some of those judgements will not be positive but some will be. That's life!

mostly pictures tell almost everything about a person on this site ... So what is the most complete profiles are much more about a certain person ... I know I was general. and we can repeat what they have said the above. Only need to tell you something haha lol

PS: excuse my English ... not so perfect lol

Sarky!


I don't particularly mind if a profile has a photo or not. The prettiest man in the world can be a massive turnoff as soon as he opens his mouth (or types something in this instance). Personality does a lot more for me than looks, cliche, and usually not true I know.

Some people have said that not having a pic is a but suspicious, like maybe the person is married or not single and doesn't want to be identified. It could just be they feel ashamed to be on a dating site.
All I know is I doubt I would message anybody without a pic. I don't think that would be shallow, if you are looking to meet somebody then you are going to see them at some point, might as well start at the beginning.

Saturday I spotted some woman on here who caught my eye. Her profile said she loved having fun, but it didn't say what she did that was actually for her, all there was was a ditty about fun (F is for blah blah, U is for blah blah). No other info in her about me section. So I decided to message her and ask her what she thought was fun as I wasn't able to tell from her profile.
She read the message, viewed my profile and deleted the message.
Perhaps it was too difficult a question for her? Confused

I'm guessing people don't like mine too much - I changed it to make it less than serious Smile I used to have shit loads written on it, but I kind of thought it looked stupid and thought I'd go with a stab at a more sardonic approach instead. Probably a poor call, but I've got something similar elsewhere and I have had a good few replies - not here though!

My biggest turn off is spelling errors and chatspeak. A person can be utterly fantastic but if his/her profile says "i lyke 2 go 2 teh marekit 4 kewl rawks." I label the person as an idiot an move on. If I wanted to read something that was going to put my brain in a vice I'd buy a copy of The Catcher in the Rye.
