Number 1 Turn Off on Online Dating Sites? (92)
My number one turn off on a dating forum would have to be people attacking other people for their personal beliefs, forgetting that there's a real person behind every word on the screen. It's fine to disagree and express another point of view, but it should always be done with respect for the person behind the text.

seriousone: there is no way on linie dating can give you those sign ; because you talk on line ;;and you dont see no form of physical expression of that person ;; plus most people on line is just liers any way lots of talk with no true meaning;;;;
And some are the exact opposite, being liars in person, trying to look good, but being rude and obnoxious online. Some people can't show their true colors in person and have to hide behind a keyboard to speak their minds.
Then, as others have pointed out, some of us are just ourselves all the time and don't try be anything except who we really are.

vcroome: I wonder if any others who have tried online dating before have any 'warning signs' that immediately let you know that someone is probably not 'the one'?
For me it's using 'u' instead of 'you', '4' instead of 'for' and other chat-speak. I have the idea that someone who won't put in the time to properly type out their message when they are seeking their partner, they might not put as much effort as I'd like into the relationship itself, either.
Any others? Specific phrases people repeat in their profiles that send up red flags?
I appreciate people who use complete sentences for the most part. Its much easier for me to understand and I don't have to "guess" what they are trying to say. There are so many things that can turn one off - so those that get the green light stand out. Those are the ones I try to pay attention too. Those are worth my effort and those that are simply wasting my time, I don't bother with any more. I try to be polite and if they disregard what I'm saying I don't bother writing anymore.For me it's using 'u' instead of 'you', '4' instead of 'for' and other chat-speak.

vcroome: That does make sense... When I text, even to my close friends, I always type out all the words. I feel that I'm disrespecting people if I don't bother to speak properly to them. Maybe it's just a girl thing, because my brother uses abbreviations any chance he gets.
wow... don't know if I agree with the girl thing but spelling is the last turn off for me... as long as the intended message comes through who gives a flying ***k... if I spent my time sweating the small stuff I'd rather just end it all now and be done with it
in my opinion, there are bigger fish to fry in this life and it's the bigger picture that create the substance I need to live it well
... JMO of course

I've got 5 sentences in my profile and one of them warns scammers.
I still get mail telling me how much they enjoyed my profile and how they'd like to get to know me better.
