Women who talk about themselves like they're "the bomb", or superior are a big time turn-off. Phrases like "I'm too much for most men" and "can you handle me?" piss me off.

I like to see some humor, a common interest or two doesn't hurt but isn't necessary.

I get bored with profiles that go on and on and on and on. sleep

It tends to give me the impression that they either talk too much or have already said everything we could possibly have to talk about.

Actually I don't look at profiles till somebody says something that gets my attention. Either made me laugh or made me think, demonstrated something unique...etc...then male or female I will check the profile to see what they have to say to get a better idea of what they are about.

Turns me away: People that misspell words, or have typos! Proof read!

Makes me want to know more: Having real interests listed, instead of a lot of non-sense. Intriguing pictures are good too. smitten

You know what word I have trouble spelling? Wierd. Or is it 'weird'? See what I mean? I'm a great speller, I'm the guy that people always ask, "How do you spell....?", I just can never seem to get 'wierd' right.

Like some of the people above said..I check out their profile either because of something they've posted on the forums or just because their picture caught my eye...

The things that may "turn me away" (and that does not imply turned me off..i'm just being realistic) Is younger men..as much as they may think they can see a "future" they have the time to "test that theory"...I don't..
Men that still want children...though i am still capable of having children and would welcome them if it happened..I do not want to be making babies in my 40's so would not put myself with someone who having children is a priority for them...
I live in Canada and i have to be realistic about the distance thing...there are some i've met where relocating is not open for discussion...it is something i feel does need to be discussed...
Men that have no children nor want any...does not appeal to me..(we've done a thread on this already i believe)

So i don't think that makes me a "player" or even "picky"...I'm just trying to be realistic heredunno
