In no particular order the following will get me clicking to the next profile:

No pictures (obviously)

Pictures where you have your tongue stuck out

Pictures where you're doing that weird V sign with your fingers - why? what does it mean?

Racist and negatve comments like "No Asians, No fats, No femmes" etc compounded by the No offence just my preference.

The description "Greedy bottom", or , "cum slut"

The "not into pain, blood etc". Have you ever met anyone into blood?

Long lists of negatives. I'm not interested in what you dislike.

And, "not me but what I like".

"Disease and drug free you be too". Huh?

Lighten up. Sheesh.

I find those guys hotter with those little demonstrations of being just a wee bit bonkers.

I can't stand serious (READ: Uptight) guys whose profiles read like resumes, and whose pictures look like mugshots (or the one on their driver's license).

So Redheadguy, I agree with your distastes except for these:

I object. Tongues are hot. Those are the things I like to lick when I'm in someone's mouth. So it's good to see them before hand.

redheadguy saidPictures where you're doing that weird V sign with your fingers - why? what does it mean?


V for Vagina...or something.

redheadguy saidRacist and negatve comments like "No Asians, No fats, No femmes" etc compounded by the No offence just my preference.


Those aren't racist, those are personal preference generalizations. And fats and femmes are only negative if your a fat or a fem and your attracted to the person that's rejected you without even knowing who you are. Rejection builds immunity. Trust me I've been rejected and I'm open for more rejection. It's hot.

I don't really have profile turn-offs...yet.

I get more annoyed at profiles that have nothing in them. But there are a couple of profiles I've come across where guys were using it to advertise a porno website. That's a bit scummy.

I agree that profiles that don't say anything are a bit irritating. I have come across a few profiles that indicate the person has an extremely healthy self-esteem (ie arrogant). Others in which the person describes the kind of guy they are looking for that have such high expectations, I am tempted to write to them "you forgot the walks on water part".

I don't like over-long, rambling profiles.

Actually, the thing that bugs me most are those pictures of guys brandishing their middle finger at the camera. I wish someone would explain that to me.

If it's supposed to be badass, by the way, please don't do it right after you've had your eyebrows waxed or while you're wearing a Speedo.

I agree with the headless pics thing, abs and torso ar nice but a face is good too. i also dont like when all the pics are private, Can you not be naked for once?

It is supposed to represent a vagina, and the fun face one makes when trying to eat one out.

You generally accompany the pose with some sort of gargling sound so that it is grosser than it really is, although not by much.

Dont mind profiles without a face... one i am like that, two, some people prefer the privacy as they are still in "hiding", although eventually i think its only fair to let the person ur talking to know what you look like.

what i hate are profiles that have no pics whatsoever and nothing filled in on the profile, just a blank page.

If i can take the time to provide a little of myself to you, you should do the same.

That's really about self-defense. If no one ever measures up, you never have to try to get serious with someone (and fail).

confession,I like to watch the Strong Man Competition: the one were the BIG bear types from like Brussels and Iceland who don't speak a lick of English and communicate with a series of grunts, lift very heavy things for the title of World's Strongest. Sometimes, when they are lifting something very heavy, they'll pop a bloody nose. The blood is always so rich looking and seems always to pulse out to the rythm of their magnificent heartbeats. When I see it, I always feel like reachimg out and tasting some.

And, on occasion, I'll go out on a date with a real great guy who has looks, personality...the whole shabang! Later, If I kiss him, I feel like the kissing is half done. The more I fancy him, the more I really just want to take a bite.

I think this is why I gravitate toward a more fair skinned man. Their white skin allows me to see more of the veins underneath. When I get them excited, they become red and the veins fill with blood, until it seems to me I can see the blood moving about, circulating in it's perfect natural way, keeping that gorgeous man alive. This is why I fixate on the blood in the first place: it's the stuff that keeps him there and makes him strong and masculine. They always notice that I kiss and suck them were the veins are most visible, want to taste it sooo bad!!

Daaang. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed??

Tounge stickin out or fingers in V sign is just "posing"

Let them call themselves what they want

Yeah, its creepy but I have known people to be into blood, which isn't the worst thing I've heard of.

Drug and disease free just means if they are gonna hook up with you, you need to be drug and diease free too. Obvious reasons.

Point is, everyone's profile is just that - theirs. Out of your list, the only thing that would bother me is the "No Asians, No fats, No femmes", but other than that man its their site. When you are on a site as diverse as this one, you gotta expect it. Sorry.

Are profiles designed to turn someone on with the obvious? or is it an attempt to reveal a little bit more about who you are to an audience of strangers.

A well thought out profile should probably turn some people off just for the simple reason that a lot of us are not compatible. It is the generic, "I am here to please and turn on everyone" in 75 words or less, that leaves me feeling bored.

p.s.
another thread to complain....

Actually, a guy who is diseased and does drugs is a HUGE turn on.. J/K... One of the things that irritates the ever living F#CK out of me is when guys feel they have to purse or pucker their lips for the camera. All I can think is "Ok, you're not a D&G model, so wake the f#ck up and take a nice walk through the trailer park." But that's just my pet peeve.. I could be wrong. ;-)

HEY GUYS if you haven't noticed yet, this is a gay community, where you can be seen by gay guys, and some straight ones who share some of our life style... i don`t know why is so important to hide. please come out of that digital closet.

i also don't get those who start the description part saying " i don like to talk about me" and when you realize there is a whole autobiography.... i cant imagine what could result if those guys already wanted to write about themselves.

install flashblock or similar such as noscript. no more auto start music. 'course no more auto start flash which makes the web MUCH MORE AWESOME with such a simple thing.

it seems these days that visiting a website is like walking into a store and having four boom boxes blaring out four different songs, banner ads flying past you like a birthday confetti bomb, and if you look really really reallllly careful, you can find a small one inch square of the content you were looking for.

I HATE HATE HATE it when the "about me" section starts along the lines of:

"omg I can't think of what to say"

or

"There's just so much about me I can't write it out."

Jesus people it's called the ENGLISH language. USE IT to SUMMARIZE your current life. You have a space to talk about ANYTHING. You're not on a pedestal or anything and no one will care to read about you unless they find you attractive, and still half of the time those people won't read it.

countless and I mean countless pictures of a chiseled six pack midsection.

I came across this guy whose profile was entirely composed of photos of his midsection in different settings:
-at the circuit party after much meth-tweaking
-at the beach after too much sun with a side order of upcoming cancer
-smoking a cigar on the couch
-posing by the car
-posing with friends
-ex boyfriend on the side with the face scratched out
-midsection not eating lunch to keep midsection chiseled
-midsection doing endless cardio to keep midsection chiseled

and so on...

I am not hating. I wish I had a midsection like that but not if it is going to turn me into a walking chiseled midsection and not much else. It is just not me.

So yes I hate those profiles. I would rather talk to someone with some character and sense of humor....at the end of the day everyone has abs whether they're chiseled, skinned, bleeding sharp or under a layer of healthy skin.....

Why is having a tongue out bad?

Yes, I know people into both blood and pain. Not my thing, but I see no reason it shouldn't be their thing. And for people into BDSM, it IS a necessary descriptor.

Not wanting your partner to be hopped up on E when he shows up at your door is a bad thing?

People who write in their profile what they dislike about others profiles.



::shrugs:: There are plenty of profiles that don't entice me, a few that irritate me, but I'd hardly label any of them a "turn off" since there's no real "turn on" in a profile either. I mean, I'm surfing for meeting friends or a date, not for porn.

I can't stand guys who say Racist and negatve comments like "No Asians, No fats, No femmes"

It's just bringing more negative energy to the world and this site. Which is a San Francisco based site so ignorant gays better recognize because if it wasn't for places like sf this site would not be here for you to enjoy.

But you for got to add people who make there profile pics intentionly ugly or scary.

Like pics with a stupid look on your face. or pics of you holding a gun are some treating weapon with a mean look on your face.

Just messing with you since it's it was fun to do :-)

Lot's of profile have turn off. A few of them are rather silly from the observers point of view I would say like the headless pic one. Maybe if you get to know them they'll show a face.

I'm also wondering if this question is geared towards those on RJ or aimed at other sites with the intention of something a little more desired then just making friends.

Straight Acting has always annoyed me- I dont want you to talk about bitches, and titties and pussy- but, for the love of all things holy, PLEASE don't ACT like a woman. We all hopefully have healthy testosterone levels, go with the flow. If you have a cock and balls, and are sexually attracted to the same, then be yourself, and be a MAN. That's all I'm sayin...

We barely start off chatting when he cops an attitude because I didn't respond quickly enough to him. I was also reading forum posts when he IM'd me. The MOFO then sends me an email with more attitude. THE FREAKIN' NERVE! So I email him back with a response to his attitude and block his profile. Thank God for that feature at least.

On another site i have had something similar happen. In that case i was blocked because I didnt respond in the way they wanted me to when they told me the things they'd like to do to me. To this day i still wonder what i did wrong

Using the number 2 to replace the word to -- that drives me nutz. Kidding, I hate the substitution of the letter Z for S. But, this could be attributed to my being over 30, as those who are under 30 don't seem to mind it.

Headless pictures. That says, "I am not yet comfortable enough showing you my face, but aren't my pecs and abs nice?!"

My last peeve -- a picture taken on web-cam or camera phone while sitting at your desk at work. Guess what? I think your life at work is just as boring as you do, and would escape to realjock if I worked there too.

Profiles that say nothing. I don't mean just empty, but the ones with nothing but generic comments that could be copied from a thousand other profiles. "I'm a laid back, fun loving, athletic guy.", "I don't know what to write here." and so on.

Indications that imply 'If you don't think I'm as hot as I do, then move on."

A lot of pictures of the same thing (i.e. face from 20 barely different angles or 20 arm shots, etc.)

Workout Nazis: Those guys that seem to think that anything that is not an athletic or bodybuilding endeavor is unhealthy or a waste of time. I don't mind if someone wants to spend 14+ hours a week at the gym so long as he has other things that they do to enhance his life.

The need to describe an obvious trait about themselves. This is usually a bad sign as in "I am confident (indicates arrogance) and considered good looking (indicates conceit and besides, Mom's opinion doesn't count.) No one who is confident ever needs to tell anyone and anyone who is actually good looking will be judged by the beholder.

makeumyne saidI hate:

Straight-acting (translation: low self-esteem)
Discreet (translation: coward, or maybe just cheating; read: coward)

GRRRRR


Straight-acting is a term that bugs me on any profile. What does it actually mean, and why is it important?
Seriously, is straight-acting really any different from just being a guy?

Auto start music will be the downfall of Western Civ...

Straight Acting has always annoyed me- I dont want you to talk about bitches, and titties and pussy- but, for the love of all things holy, PLEASE don't ACT like a woman. We all hopefully have healthy testosterone levels, go with the flow. If you have a cock and balls, and are sexually attracted to the same, then be yourself, and be a MAN. That's all I'm sayin...


Having said all that, If I for example, am interested in home decor, or have in the past done and enjoyed embroidery, should that be a problem?

I just don't get labelling yourself like that. Be who you are, and make no apologies for it. If that means you're a macho man, then so be it, and if that means you're gayer than Dame Edna then so be that too.

Are we putting ourselves in boxes so people don't notice our less traditionally masculine tendencies?

Enough of that, to the task at hand:

I hate the term "straight acting", I'd much prefer to figure you out on my own.

I hate the autostart music thing.

Profile turn offs? Sometimes it's what people don't say in the profiles or postings that makes them most attractive. But, good writing and honest protrayal of the person that makes the most attractive, even it turns some heads away.

Pictures where you're doing that weird V sign with your fingers - why? what does it mean?



It is supposed to represent a vagina, and the fun face one makes when trying to eat one out.

You generally accompany the pose with some sort of gargling sound so that it is grosser than it really is, although not by much.




That description has my stomach in a knot. I really hope that's not what the V is for. Compared to this description, the V for Vendetta seems to rock!

OK, easy fix...no more negatives. Start this thread over with

I LIKE profiles with photos.
I LIKE good spelling. And gooder grammar.
I LIKE lots of different people of different races and ages and nose widths (I'll single you out when you e-mail me, though, how's that?)
I LIKE hands displayed with a cunning sense of mime.
I LIKE musical suggestions to be written as a score.
I LIKE bar graphs.
I LIKE graphic descriptions of your sexual appetites to be written in Queen's English.
I LIKE positive people. Unless it's some icky disease, and then I LIKE negative people.

So, anyway, let's cut redheadguy some slack. I thought it was a fun topic.

In a profile, every pic of you with a fun chick/fag hag has to be balanced with a pic of you macking on a guy.

Even if you're straight.

A-fucking-men brother LOL. There's nothing more annoying than a gay guy who has to validate his existence and make himself feel better by surrounding himself with fleamales.

1. No forum posts
2. No pictures that weren't taken from a mirror - How do I know you didn't just get the lighting in your bathroom JUST right so you made your fat look like you have abs...
3. Nothing written...
4. A huge enumeration of ideals that your man MUST have... which leads me to think you would be better off buying a doll.

Headless torsos and/or dick shots. No face pic = "I look like a water buffalo".

Close second is "just ask me". Your profile gives me a snapshot of the kind of person you are...what your likes and dislikes are. It lets me know if I WANT to ask you something, or if I should skip it because it's apparent we'd have nothing to talk about. When I ask you what kind of music you like, and you respond "only death metal", I realize we have nothing to say to each other and we've both wasted time and effort.

By the way, I'll admit to being just as superficial as the next gay guy. So there have been people I didn't think I'd want to talk to based solely on their appearance--but then I read their profile and discovered we shared interests, which led to friendships! So fill them out, boys, you never know when you might meet someone who shares your love of Italian neorealist movies.

I'm not talking about this site...but the personal sites:

- hookup profiles....hmmm...I guess that would elimate about 98% of them. I have nothing against other people hooking up...it is just not for me.

- where their only photo is a shot of their penis. ummm...there has to be more to them than that....there just has to be....lol

As a well adjusted blood-sucking cumslut, I do take umbrage at your blatant testament to censorship.

Having my tongue stuck out, in my culture, serves to indicate my desire to,

a.) lick your hairy asshole, or
b.) go down to the a&e and suck down a pint of AB negative.

V'd fingers is the sign of the speculum and it means I want to do a double punch-fisting session with you.

I happen to like straight acting guys, it is such an easy way to identify a total imbecile, that I find it to be the greatest time saving device since the spam filter or the bidet.

Idem for racism. By the way, what is the difference between no fats and no blood-sucking cumsluts?

Personally, I am into pain, and there is frequently blood (if anyone cares to do it right.)

Of course, there are limits. I personally don't like cumstains, bloodstains, crisco, or anything else on my Persian carpets, and I feel that little lace doilies with a hole in the middle are just the ticket if some dipshit doesn't feel like cumming in my cum-receptacle (er mouth, sorry) but would rather soil my Irish linen sheets.

Thats just nasty and it upsets my laundress too.

By the way, it is far easier to find a fuckbuddy than a halfway-decent laundress who speaks English, so if I have to choose.....figure it out......your so gone.

Yeah, long, tedious, and not terribly clever lists of negatives, like yours, are a bummer.

I say if your gonna be negative, be extremely negative. Take Chucky, he was so negative it was fabulous. If your gonna hate, hate everything and everyone who isn't exactly like you.

Even better if your hatred is a fantastically elaborate expression of narcissism.

Well, "not me but what I like", is an equally good filter.

Let's hypothetically say that whomever posted this was otherwise interesting.

Let's say it was a picture of some perfect stud (full of blood and buckets of hot juicy man-cum).

I would look at that photo and say, er that ain't me, this dude won't be interested in a bald old fucker like me, and I would just drop it without embarrassing myself or licking his otherwise shiny loafers.

The "disease and drug free, you be too" comment seems rather self explanatory.

However, the remedial version could be paraphrased to state,

a.) the poster doesn't have any major diseases (likely the poster would be some asshat referring to HIV)
b.) the poster doesn't take drugs (which would most likely be a flat out lie)
c.) the poster wishes to associate with people of the same mental disposition as himself.

Well halle-fuckin-lujah, lets keep all those people together. They do, after all, deserve each other.

I say, if you want irony try giving IQ tests (or DNA tests for that matter) at a Klan rally. Why do the genetically challenged seem so hellbent on exercising their right to freedom of assembly?

If people of like mind can auto-segregate then the blood-sucking, splooge-swilling, oinking-pig, no-limits, 24/7, pain party can go on undisturbed by church ladies, bigots, and other assorted turds.

As for the rambling profile bit mentioned by Obscene Wish, the close button is but a click away. Mouse clicking builds the forearms.

Peace
Terry

I agree with some of the comments, my main one, when a profile turns out to be false! Have messaged and chatted with what seemed a great guy only to find out that it was not a real profile! Why bother!
That being said it is up to the reader to check out the profile they are interested in and see if the person is worth knowing and take it from there, obviously there is more to a person than a few lines and a picture of a little skin!

I haven't noticed it so much on this site, but one of the biggest annoyances for me are guys who "preach" on their page. I'm sorry, but if you start off your About Me section by telling me I'm a biggot because I eat meat or something, that's not really the best way to make friends. So get off your I'm better than thou attitude and trying a little open mindedness.

redheadguy saidIn no particular order the following will get me clicking to the next profile:

No pictures (obviously)

Pictures where you have your tongue stuck out

Pictures where you're doing that weird V sign with your fingers - why? what does it mean?

Racist and negatve comments like "No Asians, No fats, No femmes" etc compounded by the No offence just my preference.

The description "Greedy bottom", or , "cum slut"

The "not into pain, blood etc". Have you ever met anyone into blood?

Long lists of negatives. I'm not interested in what you dislike.

And, "not me but what I like".

"Disease and drug free you be too". Huh?


the V could mean peace or victory as is the case in japan where EVERYONE does the V sign. it started during WWII, and somehow stuck around even after Japan lost the war.

I actually have met someone into blood. Didn't last long, haha.

I don't know what this says about me but I don't really read profiles - I just look at the pictures. I mean to say that it is hard for me to get interested in someone online (i.e. I'll never meet them anyway) so reading about someone is pretty meaningless.

Chizzad saidI guess it is all about personal preference. Anyone fitting the description of any of those things that annoy you must have a reason for doing so. I guess a for me it is not in ones profile that I find this but people that bitch about meaningless things is what bugs me.


WELL SAID BRO!! I agree completely. You know my profile is a bit long maybe, but I'm trying to give someone who might possibly be interested and opportunity to be interested in something more then just my looks. It's a bummer when all that is in a profile is ask me. That in itself says a few things, but mainly it completely limits my ability to start a conversation with someone with anything more then a "hey you're hot". What are you supposed to do with that?

The music blaring thing, I can see how that can be a bad deal if someone is at work or something. It would
