When Do you Know You Haven't a chance? (56)
scriobhneoir: What are the signs in a profile that let you know you haven't a chance with a person that you would be interested in? Two for me would be if they say they're looking for 'tall' or 'attractive'. Also even if they don't say tall, if they are 5 foot 9 or taller I know they wouldn't be interested.
So what is it for other people in a profile that makes them think 'I haven't a hope.' Just curious.

Hi Scriobh, for me the main thing would be age they are and the age they are interested in, every year I get older and the ones I like stay the same,, it just isnt fair.
Good thread.

You said that I'm not fussy but yet the first thing I look for is looks in a girl! If I'm out I won't go speak to a girl unless I think she's pretty! See I am a tad fussy lolscriobhneoir: What are the signs in a profile that let you know you haven't a chance with a person that you would be interested in?

Well not to be too critical of others, to each their own, but a few things would encourage me to stop reading and keep going.
*Twenty or more male friends on the profile. - It's not facebook, so I'd be inclined to think a lad would end up as a tiny pic in her friends box if he talks to her. Maybe she can't make up her mind, and maybe she's not serious about dating.
*Very mainstream and/or pink background coloured profiles. - If it's a person trying hard to look like a "girly girl", for instance listing shopping as a hobby and referring to men on white stallions riding off with them, then no.
*Nice picture, but little or no text. - To me, that says: "I'm good looking, that's all I need to be". Some people who are very shy might do that, but I find that most girls who claim to be shy manage more than 2 lines on their profile.
*No pictures. - There's different reasons for people doing this, but no. It's just a minefield of negative signals.
Lastly, and this is terrible to say, but I know everyone does it and may not admit it. This is the number one cause of profile flicking. "Blah Profiles". Generic, uninteresting, no humour, nothing to catch the eye or engage the mind.
