People who are over 30 and are still in the 'student' or 'studying business' group. And businessmen who can't quite define what business they are in. Must be secret agent stuff.
DazzleYou: Since this is a dating site, and all come from a myriad of experiences with online dating, I want to know what you consider a red flag, or what concerns you when talking with a prospective match?
I will go first.
1 - When I read a profile, if it is laden with profanities or is not written with coherent thought, that is a red flag to me.
2 - if someone is clearly outside of my preferences
3 - If they want to go to email too quickly - sometimes even in the initial mail they send on the site.
What can you add?
What? No Russian women writing to you from USA addresses, claiming they want to spend their life with you or looking for good, clean, honest relations and claiming to immediately be your boyfriend?
Ambrose2007: I see much you profile and thinking life is short with many dreams someone must fulfill today or sooner at your convenience. Am looking for very much responses from you regarding futures of us. Please contacting Janebs@scammer.com.
So YOUR the one who's been writing those emails to me!!!
One of the red flags is one that Tater just jokingly mentioned...being from Tehran, NY
I had someone trying to be from California from a made up city & I called him on it.
Another red flag is when they claim to be from somewhere you might actually be familiar with and they can't answer one simple question about the place.
Another one, when their location is constantly changing. Like from Clyde, CA then all of a sudden they're from Clyde, OK (There is a Clyde in CA, two actually, and I'm very familiar with one of them.)

Are you saying I'm lying about being from Tehran NY... I am from Terhan NY..
Tater: I resent that... You just be jealous cuz I be talkin out ya league..
Red flags to me are well hell there never ending....
I look over every aspect of their profile, and see if I can find things that don't match up with their picture. for example that me42u guy, his profile said he was 6'0 but you could tell by the pics. that he wasn't any taller than 5'7 his backround walls were white and the wall had a sword or something on it. that told me it wasn't his house most likely an office or state building somewhere. Though he tried to talk gangsta I could tell by his capitalization and punctuation that it was a phoney act. He was also on the computer alot and at night, which that is when real gangsters make their money, then he was also up pretty early, most gangsters sleep til about noon..that is an example on one person I checked out recently, I analyze everyone...
I pay attention to the backround of people pics.
I pay attention to their threads and posts. are they attention hungry, are they high strung, do they stay mad and pick out certian posts of people who have argued with just to restart another when it is obviously uncalled for..
I could go on for hours.. I consider myself "fair minded" but am probably more aware then most.. I judge people VERY quickly, and my judgements are usually spot on
dillydally: Moaners and complainers i despise so if i see that in a post i wont bother with the profile .Plus judgmental people again if i see it the forums first i wont reply to the mail .
The other day i was looking through the "who's online " saw a funny looking pic and took a closer look ............within an hour i had mail thanking me for doing so ......strange to me
When you take a closer look it shows up on the persons Who's viewed me option in the menu. Some people DO thank others for viewing their profiles. I have gotten a few of them.
