Thanks for the laugh!

Reminds me of a girl I dated once, she had a small apartment and it was full of caged rabbits, guinea pigs and birds. The whole place was covered with a layer of white animal dander and it smelled like a barn. Just awful!

The one I got tired of real quick was the subject line "I Just Haven't Met You Yet" which went viral when the Micheal Buble song of the same name was popular.

In fairness it is not easy to come up something original. When there are hundreds of other profiles you are bound to see the same things over and over. What can you possibly write that is original to the woman who has been online dating for years and has seen it all?

Most umportant thing you're looking for: Honesty
Translation: Don't show up 30 pounds heavier and 10 years older, only I can do that.

Live life to the fullest:
Translation: I just woke up after a 20 year stupor and just realized I'm old. Where have the years gone?

I don't look my age:
Translation: Only sees other people's wrinkles, gray, thinning hair, sagging skin, but does not see his own.

No drama:
Translation: I usually communicate with big-boobed bimbos, but when they show up acting like bimbos I complain.

Looking for someone who is adventurous.
Translation:Get the chandelier ready.

My kids come first:
Translation: I haven't realized yet that no one is going to put themselves second because I had children.

And my favorite:

I'm a nice guy.
Translation: I'm a jerk, but I'm the only one who doesn't know it.

You simply have to ignore the most cynical posts. They're funny, but I hope no one is really that jaded.

"I have faith, but I'm not religious" - Tired of the phrase, but probably actually what I'm looking for.

"I'm not look for perfection"

On the "kids come first" - It also gives the impression that they still expect to receive from their partner even though they aren't giving it all...and you just need to deal with that. Having kids and romance doesn't need to be that hard....you should have room for both. Give to who needs you the most at the time instead of setting up a peeking order.



And I agree, I don't like reading any negatives in a profile. Stating you don't like players is not going to keep the players away.

Oh wait ... what about that most common of all, on the women's profiles: "Friends first!"

There are some good ones in this thread!

I will add a personal favorite..."I love to laugh!" Because, you know, the world is just full of people who hate laughing.

That's a good thing, if it's true.

You mean you don't like playing peek-a-boo with kids? It's especially fun in adults
