I had a match today that really liked exclamation points!!!! I mean she really liked them!!! Ended every sentence in her profile with multiple exclamation points!!! Maybe she's excitable!!! Maybe she's just loud!!! Maybe I'll find out more if she gets back to me!!!

My biggest peeve are the totally meaningless declarations - one of the most repeated ones I have seen, and one that would make me close most anyone right away is if they write the "I'm just as comfortable dressing up for a night on the town and a fancy restaurant as I am wearing jeans and a t-shirt and staying home or going to a dive bar" and the myriad variations on that theme. Way to reveal something REALLY unique about yourself.

The other thing I find to be a turn off is if that person seems to be doing a very hard sell by leaving themselves open to EVERYTHING - this usually involves a lot of statements like "I really love to do such and such but I also...." - it's like their primary concern is mass appeal, to the extent that they don't want anyone to know anything significant for fear it might be judged as a negative. A happy puppies profile can be kind of attractive in some ways, and I certainly worry at times that something I might say could be turning some off early, but I feel it's most important just to be open from the start. Life's too short for reindeer games.

Workwomen: They're most passionate about their job/career and how they work 365 hours a week, how ambitious they are, have been to 365 cities/countries on business... and would never date some career-less loser who wasn't as "accomplished" and "successful" and worked at least as many hours, and... Zzzzzz. Of course they're "looking for someone to share it all with." (Umm, NO THANKS! Willing slaves; I should hire them, and retire! Maybe not: Despite their phenomenal success, most are likely non-paying members; no-view, no-response, no-close, nada.)

"Most passionate about..."
- "...life and/or living life to the fullest." (OK, at least they're not passionate about death.)

- "...my bed; sex; orgasms." (She had to be a pro of some kind; escort, surrogate, etc.)

- "...enjoying everything the City has to offer." (Like... East New York, or the L.I.E. on Friday? Sigh... I miss the squeegee-men. )

"Sports" fanatics: They go on and on, and on... and on and on, and... about "sports" and how they're such huge Lions/Tigers/Bears fans and haven't missed a game since 1929. (Nothing against "sports," but sitting around eating, drinking beer and watching a bunch of millionaires playing with their balls just doesn't excite me; I'd rather be playing with my own. )

Sportswomen: They go on and on, and on... and on and on, and on... about how often they play (insert long list of sports) and how they just went semi-pro, entered their 500th trans-global quadrathlon... etcetera ad-nauseum. (Couldn't possibly have time for anything else, not even a job, so certainly not for a relationship!)

Cardio-fanatics: They go on and on and on about how often/much they work-out... until the reader goes into cardiac arrest. (Female versions of Richard Simmons, Tony Little, etc.)

Globetrotters: They have 80 photos from around the world, and they're the tiniest object in each of them. (At least I can tell they're not morbidly-obese. Sure would be nice to see their face though.)

One-Arm-Bandits: Most/every photo has a man's arm around them, but the man is cropped out. Sometimes the man is wearing a wedding ring, and "all photos are recent." (Must be real-popular with the boyz!)

Palefaces: Most/every photo is a group shot, and everyone else's face has been whited-out with a photo editor. (Classy!!! )

One-word-Oneders: Every answer is exactly one word, or sometimes a couple of comma-delimited one-words. (How, Much. Have, You. Ever, Lost. In. A. Coin, Toss?)

Auctioneers: No caps, no punctuation, just one l-o-n-g run-on sentence.

The Clueless: "I never know what to write here..." (I don't know what to write there either, so I can't help you; CLOSE-NEXT!)

I get nervous when men (esp. those over 45) have no mention of passion or affection as a "must have." I definitely need those things!
