  3. What turns you off?

Webmasters
Hi everyone! As you might know, Bill and I review all the profiles that come INTO the site and there are times that we notice things that people do (or don't do) that really make a bad profile. Most of those members have their profile rejected by us and never get INTO the browse and search results. However, we like to give most people the benefit and as long as the person fills in the required questions properly, we pass the profile on to you. There are some things that a person can do to their profile or "not do" that makes their profile look boring or skimpy and quickly cause the viewer to move on to the next profile. Of course what we think makes an bad profile might be different FROM what you think. So we want to hear your thoughts.... when you are looking at a profile, what is something that really turns you off or loses your interest? Lets teach others what we think is an undesirable profile and hopefully help them improve upon it. Thanks, BillnPattie The Webmasters.

People who don't take the time to read your profile and let the information sink in. They send you a message/email and tell you all the things they want to do to you and totally forget they read there is a couple involved. Or as I give in my profile, we are in search of Full M/M contact to include Anal, Oral, and ing; only to get emails/messages from men who don't want anything to do with other men or only oral and nothing else.

Just read the profile. Those of us that take the time to fill it out are trying to save everyone time and give you a better understanding of what it is we are seeking.

If it says full M/M contact and you are not wanting that, move along. If you are, Sure! Email us! Same with the areas in the Do Not Like section. If we state we are not into golden showers and they dont take the time to let that sink in, an email/message is sent about all the things they can do to us and then how we can urinate on eachother.

There are alot of profiles to browse, your bound to find groups that are aline with your desires, if you there is something you desire and it bluntly states the people behind the profile are not interested, simply move to the next.

Just Simply READ...

You both are so right. People don't take the time to fill out profiles and read. We have noticed a wide range of people coming to the site. From people who write pages about themselves for the describe yourself question, to those who simply write "Later" or even worse... "xxxxxxxxxxxxx". We have been rejecting those, and more often than not, they don't come back anyway. We try to keep nothing but good profiles on the site. We know some people are "Just trying to get through" the signup process and fill their profile with snow. We reject those, and try to rid the site of them Keep up the good work, and let us know if any are really bad.

I agree, the more info put into a profile, the better. Lets face it, the only thing that "N/A" tells us is that the person is either boring or is too unwilling to share. Its a bit hard to get to know a person when they are not willing to tell ya anything about themselves.

I also agree, I think all the fields should be required. Especially dick size

hi we are new to this site, I feel the more fields filled out the better then from reading the profile we know if there are common interest. Also pictures are a real big deal, obviously we want to see what someone looks like before considering a real meeting. Also a turn off is when someone dosn't have the courtesy to let you know something one way or the other.
Just our two cents..

Hey BP Family
The thing that turns Gem & myself off mostly when viewing profiles is :
Alot of people will put N/A in most of their questions. We are looking for couples that we have a lot of different things in common with and we cannot really determine if we would be interested in them when so many questions are left unanswered in this way.


Thanks for listening

I guess what turns me off is the constant barrage of "dick pics" I know what one looks like, I have had one of my own most of my life. I can understand maybe not wanting a face to appear on here in the public area, but the private photos give you a means to be discrete. A picture that provides some meaningul insight along with a profile that offers some useful informationon which to base a decision is really helpful. If they don't want e-mail from old single guys, it's a lot easier if they let you know that up front so you don't go bugging folks who'd rather not hear from you to begin with.

The biggest turn-off for me is the lack of replying back. When sending a 'first contact' letter I am very polite and ask them to check out my profile to see if they may or may not be interested. Out of the many, I got one reply back saying basically, 'no thank-you'. That's all I needed. Never bothering the couple again. When you get no replyback you wonder if they ever got to begin with, which buggs the hell out of me. I don't want to write again and become a problem for them or to appear pushy.

Now I look at the bottom of their profile to see if they reply to any of the letters that they receive. If they never contact anyone initially or reply to any of the letters they get, I don't write to them at all. It's their loss if they don't want to realize their fantasies.

Thanks for hearing me,
Otherwise a great site,
Krylin

That was hilarious pierced couple!!
I've seen a lot about profiles full of N/A, so I thought I ought to explain my side of why our profile is purposely not all filled out. I felt like I did a pretty good job explaining of our primary intention here being friendship. We're still defining the "openess" of our relationship everyday. We've already got each other, there's no reason to have a sexual free-for-all and ruin our still relativly new marraige. There's also the disease factor, which as safe as people may try to be, is still a factor. We do hope to find new lovers, but only with those we consider "good friends", and getting to the point of considering someone a "good friend" takes a fair amount of time and energy. So in the quest for these good friends, I felt the last half of the questions were irrelivant. I wanted people to read the profile and say "this is someone I'd like to know" rather than "this sounds like someone I'd love to fuck". I am also still learning what my specific sexual tastes are, and they could change significantly depending on my lover. I would be tempted to write "no piss play" on my profile. But if I met someone that I just thought the world of, and they explained that they love piss play in some intense and moving way, giving me a whole different perspective of this activity, I might have to try it.

It was actually very tempting for me to fill everything out. I love talking about sex, especially bi-sex. The only thing keeping me from doing this, is that I learned that people take it as a come-on. Any time I've gotten into an explicit sexual discussion with a guy they always assume that next we're going to act out everything we just described together. I already get my fair share of "Hi when can we fuck? I'm free tonight..." mail, even with my current profile. I don't want to encourage any more.

I certainly understand what everyone is saying, I also love reading detailed profiles. Just wanted to give another view of things.

Everyone here has valid points on turn offs. From incomplete profiles to emails with no responce. As far as the profile, I could care less, most of those people are afraid to be seen or really, I think they are just in here playing around. Believe me, We used to be this way. But like I was once told, If you are afraid someone is going to see you, especially someone you know, they would not see you unless they are here looking too. Biggest let down for us, is the no reply to email. We have sent emails to several very active members, and get no reply. We know they have read the email. But you are just hung out to dry like it never existed. That to me blows a big one. The way I look at it if someone decides to show interest in our profile and emails, we will email back always, that is the least anyone could do.

Glad to see a lot of face we know. first thing is people that think they are god's answer to the world. So when they email or pm the first thing they say is how be there unit is and that there unit is what you looking for, so when you tell them no thanks they have to reply in a childish manor. Second thing is when you finally find some one that you like they get pushy. also another turn off is people saying one thing to so they can hook up. once you meet them in real life there totally what they made themselves to be.

The biggest turn off is if you going to meet people take a shower and but on some clean clothing. don't show up in work clothing or like you been sitting at a street conner begging for money.

as said before people have there reasons for not showing there face and understand that when you get to know people the will open up and share there true self with you in time

Ok I want to add my change to the barrel. I agree with alot of what has been posted so far and let me add because I didn't see it.. SPELL CHECK!!! It is your friend and it is free!!!! Please DO NOT send me a message about how qute or beutifull or even how ugli you think I am. Don't send me a note saying you are innerestted in getin to no more about me or how much you wood like to get buzy with me and my big brests. Do I judge people by their(not there) spelling? YES I do. To me it goes with the ability to hold a conversation.
OK Im done.

I would have to agree with all of you. It is extremely rude to ignore someones mail to you. I am totally uninterested in anyone who is too lazy or insecure of their sexuality to fill in the blanks, Unchecked boxes=unanswered ads. Pics of dicks are so annoying and shallow-is that the only way you see yourself-as a dick? Also, there is a large number of men claiming to be bi who are adraid of another mans cock. Go to a straight swingers site ! Basically just be honest to and about yourself and you will be fine P.S. I really don't care about size, it's all good. multiples to all, Jim

Hello, The answer to your question, What Turns You Off ? Thats an easy one . People who like to play head games with others! ! If your going to talk to someone, show an interest in them, thats fine. But to have people say, Yeah, I'm interested, lets chat or, they ask for chat and they play fifty questions and then tell you. Oh, I'm not interested in you ! I just wanted to see what kind of answers I would get from you. WHAT'S THAT ??? Come on now, this isn't Yahoo or some other stupid chat room where you can talk for free and find all the head games you want ! We pay a monthly membership for the use of this site in hopes of finding other people who might be interested in meeting and becoming friends.

OK, I could go on and on about what turns us off about e-mails and such but since the original question was about profiles i'll put my soapbox away...for now lol.

2 things that are turn-offs are:
some guys list they are straight but don't list what they are looking for other than "fun" or "new experiences" then they list single women and couples down lower in the profile. OK, so are you looking for girls (then why are you at a bisexual site?) and couples with bi-guys? or do you want to just fuck my gf/wife? Just kind of confusing.

The other is: if your going to put a cock pic in, how about most of the body as well? We have met guys who say they are "athletic" only to meet them and find "athletic" means they played ball back in high school 20 years ago. We are not "body snobs" just know what we like and since I hit the gym pretty regular (no adonis or anything) we just like to be with a guy who does the same. and why lie anyway? do you really think we are going to meet you, find you are nothing like your description and then say well, he lied but lets just hop into bed anyway? We find that a pretty good indictaor of your character.

OK so maybe I stepped on the soapbox a little bit..lol

The two things that turn me off with some one Ive met online is the ones that are ready to jump in bed with you without knowing anything about you. More importantly me about them. Im looking for friendships/relationships. Anyhing else is a bonus and I try to make that clear in my profiles. However I guess some people just dont read them.

The other is pushy people and it seems like most of them are the same ones as above. Right now I got a local guy that read one of my Yahoo profiles. From the first 5 minutes of our conversation all he wanted to to was get together and screw. Just because he saw bi-male in my profile he figured Id be into that. When I told him no he kept pushing that I should meet him at his job or some place then we could go back to my place and snuggle. Runing right back to the physical. I had to got the point of removing that profile from my IM to get him to leave me alone. I often fear that he will find me someplace else and come at me again. I get the feeling hes either desperate or a stalker. Neither of which Im looking for.

I appreciate everyone's preferences as to what is emailed, what pictures are posted, etc... BUT I would like to say that I (the she of a couple) really enjoy all the cock (and other body part) photos. I find them interesting and an artform of their own (an ultra-modern, sign-of-the-times form of folk art!) Most of the photos do not get my engine reving, but I still enjoy them. And the occasional, really sexy photo is always a treat. I'd also like to say that as a couple, we are often overwhelmed with emails and I often don't have the time to respond to them all. A sincere email with a bit of thought put in it will warrant a response before a one liner...

bihim_str8her
Pictures!!! I know that some do not want to have their face on the sight, for various reasons.
We love faces and can tell a lot about someone by their face. Clits, dicks, boobs and asses are good too, but if that is the only pic you are posting, then give us something more then "I am fun and easy going...let's fuck" . And please, please, please, if there is a question, ANSWER IT! I have no idea who N/A is and I really have no desire to find out.
And the BIGGEST TURN OFF. MARRIED MEN WHO ARE WANTING TO PLAY BEHIND THEIR WIVES BACKS....If that is all the respect you can muster for your wife, then you are not anyone we can have respect for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the first thing we go to when some guy sparks our interest....IS HE MARRIED? Single and not bisexual always sends up a flag too, we are here as a couple, and if it doesn't include the two of us....then... let's move on......
And Tricia, I agree with you. This system has a very nice SPELL CHECK feature..use it!!!
and sentences that just go on and on and run into each other and you have to read and reread it to try and figure out what on earth they are trying to say because there just doesn't seem to be any end or point to their thought and it just seems like their brain is fried or they have no clue how to use the english language.....Get the picture?
OK, now my change has been added to the barrel :D

I would like to thank some of the guys that do post pictures of their s.
The size and girth of your packages has shamed me to keeping mine well hid. It has also made me rely solely on my charm and personality and pictures of my tattoos. I do have face pics for people to see (as long as you are a paying member).........a thought just crossed my mind....my tats are as unique as my face is so i might as well show the world.
Anyway.......
I would rather people laugh at me 'cause of my wit than the size of my dick......

HI Everyone, I love this site, some of the people on here i think are here to tease and don`t really want to meet anyone. i have set up time and date where i was suppose to meet someone and when i go there they are not there. There is no call and when i ask them what happened all i get is the same old BS , "Oh something came up or i had car trouble", this has happened to me 3 times and now i don`t know who to trust or believe. As i said in the beginning i love this site and i have made alot of nice friends but i hope in the future that some people just be a little more honest and sincere. Well i hope everyone has a wonderful summer and have fun
s & es
love to all
Mike :P

We are new members, and we are so happy that you have all these forums. They are so helpful and informitive. Shortly after we finished filling out our entire profile, which contained the words"no men", we received an e-mail from a man which also contained a nude picture. We were upset because this person obviously didn't take the time to read our profile. We think it's rude to send nude pictures of yourself (if you a man) to people who are not looking for men. We pake it a point to read 100% of the profile before e-mailing the person. We don't want to give a bad forst impression.

vacouple41more
After reading a few more posts we noticed that alot you people are unhappy with people putting n/a for some of the answers on their profile. When we were filling out our profile, the questions that involved same sex experiences/preferences did not apply to my husband because he is straight. So we put n/a for only those answers. I hope noone will disreguard our profile because of that. Are there any suggestion on other ways to answer those questions which do not apply to one half of a couple?

AzDesertCouple
Profiles with a bunch of n/a's in them turn us off. It makes us feel like either people really don't know themselves very well or what they want or they are just about they want to have and who cares if there are similar interests or not as long as they are going to have . Personally...if you can't stimualte me above the neck...not going to below the neck.

jimijoebob2002
Heres some of the things that bother me. Profiles of couples but there are only dick pics. This makes me think he is lying and it's just him or he is trying to force her into something she really doesn't want to do. Also blurry pics if your going to post a pic make it a good one and I really hate the n/a n/a ones. I wonder if the n/a n/a people skip over other n/a n/a ones? One last thing I noticed some one who put her two cents in about this doesn't even have a completed profile whats that about?

Thunderball100
These posts got me thinking. Especially Curious One Searching - I immediately went back to my profile and discovered several typos (which have now been corrected) Thanks for the reminder!

I'd have to say No reply to email tops my list along with a profile with total N/A's.

Finally on pics - To include the pic or not, that is the question. I guess I'll have to go looking for a face pic as well....

gettrashy
I hate:
1.cock shots without face or body shots..
2.pics of just the girl..
3.all the guys that are straight on here and to macho to put bi...
4.the "we are looking for a single women couples" ad I mean sure its fun but does EVERYONE have to look for single females only??
5.the no filling out thing that everyone has talked so much about...
6.and the number one thing that I hate the most is not having any profile pic at all...I won't even look at one without a pic its absurd to expect any kind of response without a pic and if you don't have one go get one and put it up now or you will all die a horrible painful death or at least piss me off....
Brandon
Not having a pic is not a major issue with me. I have many pics in my private section. I will show them to a person if i feel confortable with them. Most people here may decide not to put a pic up and most decide to put one up. Thats the thing I like about this site everyone is respected for their individualities. Every one here is not always looking for someone that may fit others needs. Every ones profile is their profile and as time goes most will update as they feel more comfortable. Patience and communications is a very important part of meeting people as are many other factors. Some of us do not put a pic up until we feel that we are comfortable with it. Have a great day everyone s to everyone.Brandon the Devil

carol_danny
Donna, you made a good point about the profile ratings. I think many people aren't rating the profile itself, but just the pictures they see. That is not what the rating system is for.

I recently started rating the profiles I was looking at, and my "rating system" has nothing to do with the appearance of the people. I look at completeness of the profile, ensuring most questions are answered and checking on how in-depth they filled out their comments. I also look for pictures and award points based on quantity, diverseness, and clarity (as someone said prior, do not post out of focus images). I'm also a bit anal about spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure (Yep, this is a "sex" site, but it's the little things that attract me or turn me off) as that is one indication of intelligence, and I find wit and intelligence "sexy".

Everyone has their own way of looking at things, and "judging" them. What is important to me may not be important to the next person, and the reverse holds true also.

On the personal side, what turns me off is lack of personal hygiene!!! Body odour, dirty clothes, and bad breath will immediately turn me off. It is surprising how many people are totally clueless of that.

I think one of my bigest problems with profiles Is no pics.Iam not talking about nude pics eaither I would b happy with a facial pic .I know everyone dosent have a cam and cant always put a pic up .But if i dont see a pic i mostlikly going to pass it up .Also the n/a on sexual prefreance iam not realy happy with that if there not sure i cant b sure if i want to continue to look .s & es to all

Damn. It's been stressful enough that I'm a no good, lowest-form-of-life cheating bastard with a dick picture but now I have to worry about grammar and spelling? No wonder I have high blood pressure.

BisexualPlaymate4u
With so many things that turn us off, it is amazing that any of us are turned on! I am just joshing ya! The one thing that turns me off more then anything is a smelly guy or girl! If you smell down below, look out I might just puke - now THAT would be a moment killer!

So think (and shower), before you meet!

G'day Eh,
I'm new to this site but thought i had to reply to this topic. First off, loved it Pierced Couple,needed a good laugh early in the morning up here in the frozen Northland called Canada. Yes, i have to agree with most people the " Shot " is rather stupid and coming from a guy ( no pun intended) rather embarrassing. We gentlemen of the world, have not always endear ourselves when it comes to women and their feelings and understandings. A "penis shot" is not going to get that lady or couple jump up and exclaim "well, he has a nice looking penis ,so he must be nice too." No, in fact most time I'm sure if a couple is looking the women may look at the picture and say 'nice cock" or "i've seen bigger", or 'how cow that is not going near/in me". Myself and wife would like to see the couple/single person, for 87% of people of the world are "visual". We need to see people faces for this is as a way for our brains to "see " if this or that person is friend or foe. Looking at one's penis doesn't help us to connect with this person. Old saying says the "eyes are the gateway to the soul" which i think most people do is we meet,look someone in the face and decide if we wish to be friendly or an asshole to this person. Looking straight into a penis usually ends in a mess and the lady complaining about something burning in her eyes - lol. also since i mention I'm from Canada we are very big up here on spelling and grammar, not in one language but two. So yes, if you are not sure of word ,there is a button that came with your computer and it is called "spell check". Well, off to shovel my driveway and start my day, thanks for letting me have my 2 cents. Good day to all.
pandoras_hot_box
How about people who are less than tuthful in there profiles? those are big turn offs!!In my opinion that falls in with the head games, it is a definite head game if whats in there profile isnt truthful, and that is wrong. The whole reason for the profile is to get to scrarch the surface of the individual and open the doors of getting to know and communicate with them, when people are less than truthful in the personal profiles and one finds out about that these same people dont feel that you have the right to be upset with them..

chillywilly
A Honesty is essential B All the fields are indeed applicable C Pix are silly ( Is there any part of a man's body more rediculous-looking?) I have lots of pix, mainly of me involved in bisexual activities But none of just my penis... I am more than that lil tube steak :D I like to know the person before getting sexually involved....so sue me. I read any profile of a person who catches my interest and My response to them is based on what I read. It's unfortunate that some members don't read, or if they do, it doesn't sink in that a person may not be interested in whatever they have to offer. I explain my dysfunction quite honestly and clearly and still get email from ppl who want me to be their 'stud' LOL as if.... I have had a number of meetings (in person) with other members and some were sexual encounters. But If I had not found something we had in common upon reading their profiles, I'd never emailed them. I'd have deleted any emails they would have sent me. And finally about responding to mail, most ppl who message you are not bad ppl, even if not what YOU seek. A polite no thanks, or one of the auto-response messages are more friendly than just ignoring an email you can say no and then block them if they are too bad, lol. That's MY story and I'm sticking to it! Peace out

Things that turn me off quicker than anything are mean people who do not think about hurting others feelings..it costs nothing to be kind. Also, if you get a message from someone that just says "wanna screw?" or something to that effect. It takes time to get up to that point and I personally like to get to know people before doing that.

I like to be friends before all the other stuff or else I have a problem. I am not into this to hop from one bed to another and for purely physical reasons. I am here to make friends and be one to others...if you do not care about the other person then that really, really turns me off.

Also I love people with a great sense of humor and who do not stress all the time. As a friend I also realize that there are problems and drama in life and do not bolt and leave my friends high and dry in times of trouble. I am not adverse to the everyday troubles that we all have and want to help in anyway I can but if it is all about drama and that is the only thing going on, it can get wearing on a persons nerves and I just do not have to the time to ford that stream again and again. I need some lighter moments too as does everyone.

Also I have a problem with people who only look at the outside of a person before they get to know then and just judge them on their looks and body shape alone. Inner beauty is something never to be degraded nor looked down upon and cannot help but radiate on the outside..

I will leave you with this..there is nothing better nor sexier than the smile of a good friend...

I personally hate profiles with no pics...and i don't mean pics of anyones hoohoo or dick..i want face pics, body pics in clothing, etc... As shallow as it may seem, a person has a first intitial reaction to a face and body style, and i don't won't to waste their time or mine if i know the vibe is not right. I don't care if a man is toting a 10' dong and the girl is built like Barbie..the face says it all. And i will admit to being one of those who doesn't answer messages..reason being alot of what i get is those "want to fuck" messages. Well of course i do, and your message just got my juices flowing..be for real..lol..no one likes those, it just shows a sign of disrespect. Or better yet no message at all, just someone's nakkie pic...ughhh!!

What i do enjoy is someone who has taken the time to tell us about the person they are..what they like, what are their fantasies. I occasionally go and update and change things on my profile as needed, it would be nice if everyone did that also. What you wanted or needed 2 years ago might have changed...let's keep everything current.

Okay i'll shut up now..hehe
miss_puppy_fantastic
i never initiate converstation if they do not have a photo
if non photo peeps talk to me i am polite but brush them off
loads of pics of their pets or cars is stupid to me
or other objects that have nothing to do with relationships
i have 3 or 4 but some has 30 and its all they got

i dont like seeing a blue Les
(blue is male right)
or they say transgender or crossdresser with a female identity
even though they literally have no female body

i know its an attitude or personality characteristic to them
but male and female is the actual body
at least in medical records, tax records, anything official
so i take it that way

better to put then add comments about their sexual personality in the comments sections and a photo with the way they dress up

i dont think its a bad profile if it has fewer bits of information always
some people might want to reserve a little mystery
and that can be sexy

the complaints on the profiles doesnt give you the opurtunity to face off with the person and nobody asks your side of it so it could just be somebody that you turned down. it could be spite, if they feel rejected
so i dont take it seriously when anyone has a lot of complaints
theres no information about what the complaint was
so it might just be petty

same thing if it says anyone was dishonest, because i take it as a disagreement on the truth between two people on a matter that has nothing to do with me, that i didnt see happen, and just because the annonomous person says so, doesnt mean they were right

i prefer to see what people have in mind now for a relationship, or the near future, past history is less important because people develop different styles and feelings over time, sometimes they regret the past so i dont judge on what may never happen again

i wish there was a special section for the ideal date, like your one all time favorite fantasy, that you could describe in detail, even if it was crazy like in outer space, mostly just to get a glimps of the persons personality a little more

sometimes theres a couplle with a bi wife and a straight husband and i check it out and they want a one on one with a woman (for her) so i look at the pictures they got and its 15 penis pictures, 3 dogs, and the back of her head and her feet which is very hard to understand if they want a lady for her

other than that, most people do very well, but its just my thoughts, i cant say anyone would agree or not, so i hope it helps

Noonespecial
I have read a lot of the replys here and I have to say I agree with most of them, but here is my couple of pennies.

A) Biggest turn off EVER is cock pics. I have had children naturally concieved. I had my husband mold a dildo out of his. I know what they look like. If you want to turn me on, send a picture of your eyes. Eyes will do it for me just about everytime. I love eyes. However, if you insist on showing me your penis then make it cute. Please.

B) The fabulous line "Hi I think your cute! Wanna fuck?" No, I don't. I want to talk to you, I want to get to know you, I want to figure out that if we do finally get together, whether or not I am gonna break you. :D I want someone to get to know me as well.

C) Please be honest honest honest in your profile. I don't do cheaters and I always make sure that both people in the couple know me. But also don't assume that by your profile, I will know you and everything you want. Also update your profile once in a while. After 16 years in an open lifestyle, I know that preferences and likes and dislikes change. So do you. So update the profile to reflect those changes.

So that is my soapbox. I read my post and realize that my profile isn't as filled out as it could be. I just want people to talk to me and get to know me. We can go from there if there is a something that we would like to build from, so just talk to me. In my eyes, a mind is a great thing and gonna turn me on more than anything else - well ok, except maybe your eyes.

Thanks for the good advice everyone, this is the best time spent. Especially now since I need to update my profile. Many of you have great ideas and wisdom and I do appreciate you all for sharing it, and I all of the sense of humor. Kudos to all of you all.

Woohoo!!! everyone for your posts!

However, I can't believe so many people agree on most everything that was posted here, yet there are STILL so many profiles out there with one word descriptions of themselves or have their "Ideal Meeting" being "Meet for sex".

There is so much more to people and life than sex. I will be the first one to say that sex is wonderful. However, if all you can do is fuck, why would I waste my time? Thrill me! Entertain me! Talk with me about your life and your experiences (not sexual)!

I have personally received emails from people wanting to play with only me (Ali) and not Vince. Also, the ever prevalent "Let's Cyber!" Ummm..... NO! It says VERY clearly on the front page of our profile that not only do we not play alone, but we also do not cyber at all! Oh.... I told someone one day to read our profile after I was asked to cyber with them. They emailed me back saying only "looonnnggg profile". No shit! And I bet that didn't even include our "Full Profile" lol

So yes, I know this will be kinda redundant with everyone else's posts, but here I go!

/me pulls out not only one soapbox, but several..... lol

1) One or two word descriptions of someone. Come on people! Take the few minutes to fill out a good description of yourself and your partner. It will actually not only save you time, but other's as well!

2) I can understand not having any free pics available, as well as not having face pictures outside of the Photo Pin area or the Hidden area. But please! At least have one or two uploaded that you can include in emails to people so they know who they are talking with. After all.... IF we decide to actually meet, are you gonna show up naked thinking I will recognize your dick?

3) On the same line as pictures.... Please, please, please, at least have one on your main page. And have more pictures available to show than simply your cock or pussy! Don't get me wrong, I love looking at cock and pussy pics, but try to get more of the body in there next time. Or am I to assume that your cock/pussy has a mind of its own and is the one that has created the profile on BP here without your knowledge? If you don't want your face shown, then cut or scratch it out (using a photo editor, I am not suggesting that you damage your pictures). But lets see the whole package! Everyone on the planet has different definitions of what "Curvy" or "Proportionate" means. So please, lets see that wonderful body that is attached to that cock or pussy!

4) People who TYPE ALL IN CAPS in their profiles. Or people who tHiNk iT Is CoOl tO tYpE like that. How about using numb3rs or abbreviations, or even worse, chat lingo? "wats up? l3ts scr3w im hawt and wnt to fuk u sum tym" ..... We are adults on this site, right? In chat, you need to be able to keep up with the conversation, so shortcuts here and there are okay. (k ppl?) And this includes emails and forum posts too. You have the time to write properly, so take it.

5) People I do not know wanting to know my Photo Pin number. Umm, hello? Do I know you? Look, everyone who knows me (Ali) knows that I love to show off. But I usually know WHO I am showing off too. I do NOT want to be someone I don't even know, jack off material. That is why I took all of our "racy" pics and put them behind photo pin. You want to see them? Get to know me first.

6) People "saying" that they read our profile, but then go on to ask something that we fully explained IN our profile! Omg! (Yes I know, chat lingo.... and I also use "btw" "lol" and "pics".... but I am talking excessive everyone) People can't have that short of memories, can they?

7) People who list themselves as "Single", but who are in a relationship with someone. Okay, there are people here who are interested in friends only, so it doesn't matter if they list a partner. I am talking about people actively looking for a "playmate" to screw around with. If you're in a relationship, then say so. I know some people on here who choose to list themselves as single for personal reasons, and I can understand that. Just don't expect me or my husband to help you cheat on your partner.

8) People who type gibberish in their profile. I have seen this! Again, we are all adults here!

9) And once again, people who do not fill out their profile fully. It doesn't take that long guys. If I am to be interested in you, I want to know all I can about you. What color of hair do you have? What are your interests and hobbies? (and I don't mean just sex, although that would help too) What things are you NOT interested in or looking for? How am I supposed to know that when you say that you are interested in couples, you mean you want energetic, kinky, "lets all quickly fuck in this park" type of couples?

10) "Up for anything"...... Anything? Really? You're up for being forced to fuck animals and then being set on fire? lol Come on! Your version of "Anything" or "Everything" may be quite a bit different than someone else's. And no, I am not into the above statement myself. Just making a point people! lol

11) Honesty!! I am serious people. If me and Vince show up to meet someone, and instead of a hot 20 year old woman, we find a 60 something, overweight man thinking he can screw me..... Well, lets just say that it won't end well for the guy. Same goes for anything else. If you say that the picture you show everyone is you, and when we meet, the picture we have all seen turns out to be you 20 years ago. I think we would notice that. Don't ya think?

12) Last (for now ) but certainly not least, bad spelling, bad grammar, and run on sentences. I know my husband is very bad for this himself and it bothers me to no end. So I usually end up going back into his posts and editing them. lol If you are going to take the time to post something or write to someone, you want them to understand you, right? I don't want to be left wondering what a person meant or risk getting offended by something someone says cause they said the wrong thing or spelled it very horribly.

One more thing I thought I should mention. This isn't something that bothers me exactly, but I know others may not understand. I hate the whole "email game" that I find some members do. If I send you an email asking you a question, and you respond back, I got my answer. Do we really need to play the whole "who sends the last email" game? I know this site keeps track of how many emails you have not replied to, but if a subject has ended, it's ended. I do not feel the need to reply to every single email I get. Nor do I often reply right away. Now, I am not talking about people who send me a "Hi! How you are you?" email. Those I do often send a reply back. But if I email someone saying "Goodnight", then they email back with the same thing, should I be compelled to email them back saying goodnight again? Where does it end?

Okay, okay. I think I am done for now. As people who have got to know me know, I am blunt and straight forward. And I am sure that I have forgotten a few things that pisses me off/turns me off about profiles. But, I will get off my soapboxes now and let this be posted. Now, I seriously do hope that people (especially newbies) read this and maybe, perhaps, by some unknown miracle reason, actually listens and changes their profile, then I will be a happy woman.

Well, good night folks and for listening.... lol

Peace s and es

Well there are a number of things that turn me off

Bad spelling and grammar (especially in your profile)
People who do not know that "you" and "are" are 3 letter words
Let's fuck emails
People who have clearly not read my profile
People I do not know who IM me when I am in chat
Profiles without pictures (come on how much trouble is it to put in one picture)
Profiles that do not say anything of interest.
People who "put rather not say" as to their sexual preference
Couples where there are only pics of one half

And these things do not bother me at all
Couples where the wife only wants to watch or does not even want to participate
Asking for my photo pin
Your relationship status (my place is not to judge)

soflapanties
I understand there is a learning curve when you first join the site. But if you respond with some suggestions and they dont listen, especially trial members they.

When the man of the couple represents he is the wife while talking with me. Women know how to communicate and spell and ask different questions.

Asking question that are very clear in full profile and short profile. I actually have made more pics paid member or pin only, To only encourage members that want to meet, not just cyber. People willing to cyber say it. I have noticed many members like myself who have been here a while will chat but we all really want to get to know each other.

A little class goes a long way.

I am new to the site and these replies are awesome- because they are so true!! Lol

Many good points.

I'd like to just point out one quick note regarding profiles -
I will be the first to admit that my profile is not very "robust".
This is not because I didn't want to take the time to do it or because I don't want to do my best to be courteous or polite...

I just made a concious decision to not fill in everything, because my privacy is very important to me, and I don't want my info and pictures to be available publicly on this site or any other.

I have no problem sharing pics or PIN in a room or with anyone that I've spoken with for a short time.

Honestly, the foremost reason is solely privacy.

With all of that being said, I just want to remind everyone that, although it is true (in any online community) that people prefer profiles with more details.....

Some of us, like me are aware of that fact, and although we want to meet other people and present ourselves properly.....some of us just can't have much info out there for all members to see.



Thanks for hearing

chillywilly
the sad thing is that the webbies' first post of this thread was made in 2002 and all the problems are still found in so many profiles...sometimes it makes me wanna holler

Turnoffs to me are:

-Bad attitudes
-Low Self-Esteem
-Jealousy
-Stuck Up
-No Self Respect
-Disrespectful

OK you want turn offs us off in a profile well the main profile pic. show us who you are and leave the dick pics as options. if we are interested we will look further but i like to know who that person is.they say the eyes are the window to the soul, i believe that totally. i look into a persons eyes before i check the rest out. want some proof--look into Charley mansion eyes--pure evil
so if your interested in us please put a picture of you, your face or your entire body, make it a fun photo of who you are or what you are into. if i want a personal picture i will certainly ask for some
Teri and Max

my number one --no picture, god knows I like to show off my body I am sure a lot of you know that but when I see a profile that doesn't come with a picture ( of a real person--not just their junk) I will just pass right by if I am willing to share my self you should be at least polite enough to let me see you.
now I know there are some of you who need your privacy for what ever reason-that's fine but the site does have private photo options so if you want to chat with me you can send a picture or your access code. I don't give out my access code but I am more than happy to share some of my personal pictures. I like to hand out my pictures slowly to get as much effect from my pictures as possible. yes I am a tease but most of you out their love it that way

I think dick pics are overrated. Not that I don't like looking at them, but they don't give me enough information to decide if that person is right for me. A dick may or may not get me in the mood, that ultimately depends upon the rest of the person it is attached to. Also, telling someone you don't know about how you want to have sex with them may be taking things a bit fast. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I just like to get to know a person...hitting on me is fine, even a complete stranger who doesn't know I am bi, just do so tactfully. I honestly am not interested in a dick pic unless it is immediately accessible, say by virtual sex.

Most of the time I am focused on what the other person wants in a relationship, in giving them the most pleasure they desire, so I'm willing to step out of my comfort zone for the sake of that. But fantasy play can be fun, too. Besides a throbbing cock on a man I am sucking, or a woman's body quaking in pleasure from oral, what really turns me on are the sounds of pleasure during sex. I feel that if those sounds aren't making me harder just listening to them during sex that I'm not doing a good enough job. So, yeah, I'd rather trade audio clips of erotic moans than dick pics. A dick pic may get me in the mood…but the sounds get my mind high.

Lionessa
Sorry Mikey I have to disagree. My pet peeve is profiles that are incomplete. I would like to know something about someone first. The more detail, the better chances of us sharing something in common that we can start a convo about and use to begin getting to know each other. (I don't even bother looking at interests because there are just way too many and I figure if the questions are answered properly, you have some of your interests listed in there.

Pretty much everyone has a dick, vag, or/and boobs. Those pics are all over the site. I want to see you. I want to have an idea who is behind the words on your profile.

Just my two cents

MarieandLeefrommi
a huge no-no for me is when there is a guy or a girl with only them on the profile until you get to their ideal meeting. At that point you finally see there is another person and they are suppose to be involved. So why aren't they on the profile before then

Marcy
I absolutely love this post!! It is still 100% relevant despite the years that have gone by since it was originally posted. Profiles are one of the greatest tools on BP for becoming successful. It is the first impression you give other members so be honest and to the point. Don't waste people's time! If you are looking for something particular, say it. If there is something in particular that you don't like, the best time to share it is in the beginning. Be you, own it, attract the people that are right for you and your situation!!!

sassyv4u
Glad this post has resurfaced. When I can see that someone has taken the time to fill out a profile completely I appreciate that and will read it, unless it's book worthy, then that leaves no mysteries to discover. And the absolute turn off for me is no pics of any sort. I know people use the argument of discretion blah blah blah, but that's a cop out in my book, since we have the option of pin protection. All I need is just one pic to entertain a dialogue and even though I adore the naughty bit pics I would prefer a face pic.

monaohio
my pet peeve is when they don't say if they have hiv or not

Lionessa
I think that would pretty much be a question one would ask a potential partner up front before doing anything anyway, or at least ask during the time you are getting to know that person.

SloStroker4U
I find myself in the minority here.While most people are saying they hate dick pics etc., it's the main thing I'm here for. I am not here for a relationship. I already have that. I'm not here to have deep philosophical discussions. I'm here because I love sex with men or women and I am hoping to find like minded people.

My life is full of rules, processes, do's and don'ts. At my core I'm a hedonist. I need to just cut loose and have fun with others who feel the same way. I honestly have no desire to spend time with someone who would pass judgement on me from a profile. I don't pass judgement on others. If you want to have fun, laugh, play, and of course experience some form of sex together...then I'm your guy. It's just that simple. I love to have fun and I don't take much of anything seriously.

bim51
Negative statements in a profile tend to make me move on. A profile should be positive. Also, can't understand why people don't post pics. Unless you have your name tattooed on your body, they are fairly anonymous. Lack of regard for spelling and grammar makes it difficult to follow some of the profiles.

Good Day All my BP Freinds (and Friends to be!),

I'd love to chime in on this topic as well. The biggest turn off to me is when members do not take the time (even 15 seconds) to simply reply to an e-mail message by saying something like "Thank You". It feels just as rude to me as if we were standing there in person and I said "Hi, your outfit is beautiful" and in response the other person simply walked away, saying nothing. A simple "Thank you" is the right answer and the courteous thing to say (as long as the other member's message was polite and well-intentioned).

I reply to every single e-mail that I receive on this site. And if I am not particuolarly interested in that person (for whatever reason), I simply say "Thank you for your nice compliment, I appreciate it. I am not interested in meeting single men at this time, but I wish you all the best on this site. Have a great day" (or something like that). It shows my respect for them, and let's them know, firmly, but nicely, where I stand as far as my interest in them.

It is all about RESPECT!
