yes, just from their profile alone and/or what they might write in an email. and especially if they use part of what's in their profile as an email to me, word for word. I HATE getting form letters from guys.
Dear (Your Name Here)
You are such an angel. A joy to behold. You are in my dreams every night. Every time I think about you, (Your Name Here), my heart just melts with a love that knows no bounds, and I know that we were destined to be together forever, (Your Name Here).
Not with all you said. Just with "..if you are older than..".
To keep it real you must apply the critieria that will lead to sucess for you. If someone has a statement in their profile such that it would eliminate me from their consideration. I just move on so I will not waste my time persuing nothing.
"I also don't like men who talk about their financial assets because that, to me, first of all is somewhat presumptuous, thinking that's a selling point for all women who are trying to land themselves a human cash register and, secondly, it makes it seem as though he thinks that money is what makes him appealing, rather than his personality or other things he might bring to the table in a relationship."
I think I mention in my profile something about making a decent living. I don't remember for sure now. But, the only reason I mention it is so that people know I'm not looking for anyone to 'take care of me', I'm not some deadbeat guy layin' around on the couch all day asking you to bring me a beer. I work, I take care of myself, I don't need anyone else's money. That's the only reason I'd mention it.
No, no, I don't mean merely mentioning "I make a decent living," but listing his assets, posting pictures of his vehicle(s), especially if he's not in the picture, mentioning how "eclectic" his tastes are, and that's he's a "world traveler," etc., etc. You know, bragging.
I like to see a woman that state their values and what they mean to that particular person. i get turned off when a woman appears demanding....eg: must have's
Thank you...I appreciate your trying to see it for how it was meant
There are a few men on here that i am extremely attracted to...and i bet if i said who they were people would be surprised (pleasantly so no doubt!!)...and that attraction at this time is based merely on what i see of their "personality" coming out when they post...some of them though...is just a gut instinct...
The first thing that will turn me off from a profile is the chosen stage name. If it incorporates any vanity about their physical appearance then I stay away. IE; "Glamourousgal"
The second thing is how they express themselves. If they talk about the ex's, whether directly or indirectly by making references to ill, derogatory attitudes or behaviours in men, it seems to reveal that they have not yet healed yet or are still bitter, which for me, spells out they are not ready for a relationship.
Another which is a turn off is those who use their third party observers to write their profiles for them. "My friends say that I am beautiful, witty, outgoing..."
What interests me is someone who writes something funny, charming, warm and positive. Things to do with their aspirations, goals and dreams, aside from the usual "to find their prince charming". The mention of the importance and influence of others in their lives is usually a good sign that they are good people...

That's from their "unsolicted" profile, correct?
You can smell the Snakeoil Salesman, telling you what you want to hear a mile or ten away, right?
I think we don't give each other enough credit. People are pretty intuitive. Bullslingers beware, you're not fooling many.
