Top profile turn offs

Keeping in mind that this is totally individual in nature....what are your top three turn offs in a profile?

Mine---
pics without shirts when there is no water in sight (ie pool, lake etc). If you are in your bathroom,livingroom, or other room without a shirt I will say NEXT.

Roommates, lack of profession, or student status.

Children. (I have none, want none, dont relate to them)

You LOVE the outdoors.

My turnoffs:


When they are wearing sunglasses in every picture or the pictures are so dark you can't see them, pictures in front of cars or just of the car by itself.

Smoking

Drinking Regularly

Dislikes Cats (I have 3, you date me, you deal with my babies!)

Under 5'9"/Stocky Build (I like em tall & thin)

Seeking women 18-55/within 2000 miles of... (there's a thing as being TOO open minded)

Bald or shaved head

Wants Kids: Probably Not or No (I'm 27 and looking for a life partner, so I obviously want kids)

"I love anything to do with the outdoors..." (uh, I don't...unless it's the beach)

Very religious, quoting God in profile (I'm stuck between Agnostic and Atheist, I suppose if I have to label myself)

hmmm...guess that's why I'm still single, huh? But I'm not gonna settle on just anybody!!

Cuddle = it creeps me out a little when a guy says that. I don't picture my Marlboro man cuddling...lol.

Top turn offs (any ONE of these will guarantee no response from me):

Bad picture
Too short
Age range says below 30
Income is less than mine
Separated
Any talk of sex in the profile
Wants "thin", "slender", "athletic and toned"
Is a completely far out religion than mine
Lives over 50 miles away
Saying they hate country music (not a total dealbreaker but closer than not)
No Harley
Hates cats

I was thinking my list was going to be short. Geesh!

Excellent topic!



  • Looking for girls who are much younger than him

  • Numerous misspellings in the profile or grammatical errors

  • A half-filled out profile

  • My favorite -- no preferences for all the important info... ummm, yeah ok... LOL

Living with parents (although I will usually give them the benefit of the doubt and explain WHY they live with their parents and depending on their answer continue on)

Judgemental in their profile about people not just like him (i.e. hating other political affiliates, hating fat people, hating single mothers) etc. just a rant on his profile of those types of things make me cringe

Smokers
Unemployed
Any profile with a name about having sex (ie. boxlicker, comesexme, myfav69 etc.)
Someone that doesn't want children

1) Women who claim that they are "Intelligent and witty" yet have incredibly uninteresting profiles.

2) Women who still feel the need to say that they are pretty or attractive even though they have submitted more than 2 photographs.
