I think we are all in agreement that it's a bad thing when "69" shows up in a screen name.

I got a wink from a guy with a lovely combination.

Avoid using Satan and 69, and all combinations therein, at all costs. Doesn't make for a good first impression.

I seem to be the opposite than "the rule" when it comes to seeking and being seeked. I have my profile as "unserachable" because I just don't want to deal with unwanteds. My reason for saying so, is that I am always the SCANNER... and have been turned off by a few guys because of their screen name. One guy was something like b4I4QRU18? OMG, what is the matter with people? I also hate it when they put sexual comments in their profile... another fairly cute, and decent profile, added "must be nice lady but naughty in the bedroom"... UGH... first impressions, huh?

"A lady in the street and a Freak in da bed"--hey, I didn't come up with that one, JayZee did--he is Rapper...'nuff said!

I avoid any profile name that is an adjective in the genre of smooth/sexy/slowhand/your new best friend..ie, used car sales Advertising! It is ok if you use something that describes you, such as "tallboy" "greeneyes", etc. I prefer those that might even use part of their name, and detest those that use a refernce to a movie star that they are NO where close to "Indylookalike" or "BradPitt2"--As If!

And how come some of my photos were rejected as my face being too small (gimme a break, I am 5 ft, 98 lbs--are you expecting Godzilla?!), but they put a man's DOG on as his main photo! btw, the dog Was a lot cuter.....Bygones!

I do my best to avoid Sleaze at all costs, and think that women should avoid the words "classy" and "fine"...you Can say you have "class, charm and wit", etc, but adding that "y" on the end makes it SO...Beverly Hillbillies, and spare me the "I am a FINE woman, looking for a FINE man"....and I thought Fonzie was on the "out" list?

Truly,

LOL Lisa,

Excuse my faux paux...my 18 year old son listens to some of that and I have only heard it booming down the stairs, so may have gotten my Soldiers confused (where dey at? where dey at?)..I am more of a 50 Cent and Nelly kinda girl myself.

Mainly, that has been said,in one way or another for Years, and it holds same today...we just used the words "angel" and "wicked" in the appropriate places, back in the day.

Stay Street, Babygirl

We Out,
Cupcake :)

The word I always tell my female friends to NOT use is "sassy". In fact, I should have put that into the "red flag" thread...

"Sassy" to me, all too often, means "I'm kind of bitchy but by saying I'm sassy I think I can get away with it and it's no longer my problem".

I guess I'll have to change my nickname away from "HotSatanWhoLikesTo69". Bummer.

The good news is that LG can have that nickname now.
