Onling dating vents

[starryfish]

I figured we all have enough experience with this to put together a list of why online dating sucks, etc.

I will start:

1. I "love" it when guys post a bijillion pics on their profile, but they look so different from photo to photo. Seriously, WTF? post recent and recent photos only!

I did a blog post on this very topic once

I hate guys that type IN ALL CAPS and that sound all bitter (like talk about all the losers they have met!)

My worst pet peeve though is guys that cancel dates at the last minute. That happens to me A LOT

I tried online dating during one my breakups with my ex and I didn't like it at all...on Match I would get hundreds of views but no one contacted me...I even initiated a few winks and sent a couple of emails and nothing... On POF I got responses right away and I met up with one of the guys but his breath was SO bad that I removed my profile after going out with him...I was DONE! maybe one day in the far far future I'll "try" again but not anytime soon...I seem to make out better meeting guys IRL.

I hate when they can't use punctuation or spellchecker in their profile. Riiiiight you have a master's but you are spelling simple words incorrectly.

The profile starts out with "I'm 100% Italian". This isn't a Jersey Shore audition, no one cares. (In my area this happens a lot)

Unneccesary shirtless photos are also not ok. A pic of you playing volleyball at the beach, ok. You taking a pic in your bathroom mirror with no shirt on, not ok.

Also, whenever men say they are looking for a "drama free woman", I immediately know THEY are the drama queen.

Bad spelling/grammar and those who use abbreviations like "How r u?" in their profile or emails.

Things I don't want to see in a profile:

"I don't play games" "no drama" etc.

Too many mirror pictures... gross. I want to see pics of a guy out enjoying life!

Random topless photos for no reason.

Great minds think alike

Lying about their height. Number one pet peeve.

What about the guys whose profile pics are clearly professionally photographed? Or the guys who post pics of them in or in front of their car/motorcycle? Trying way too hard.....
