Stating any of the following: -"I've been hurt before" (No s**t. So has everyone else over the age of 15 who doesn't live in a hermetically sealed bubble.)
-"Chivalry isn't dead." (Maybe not, but I couldn't really care. Treat other people well because they're people, not because of their gender.)
-"I'm a nice guy." (Congratulations. "Nice" is a bare minimum standard for establishing your basic humanity, not a virtue.)
I also don't date guys who are poly, socially conservative, in law enforcement or devoutly religious. and I've got good reasons for all of those.
But I'm kind of done with dating these days. It's kind of a distraction from the other good things I've got going on in my life, and I'm tired of that. My writing, working on my personal fitness, my career, my other hobbies and my friends and family are more important right now than chasing a romance.
* smoker
* "don't want any drama"
* poor writing skills (spelling and grammatical errors and no punctuation throughout entire profile)
* seems self-absorbed
Other than a little bit of time, not much. I've tried it before, don't get me wrong. It lead to nothing about 95% of the time. I feel like my time is better allocated pursuing women I have a better chance with.
Otherwise, it's your typical stuff. Poor grammar/spelling throughout, different political or religious viewpoints, etc. If she's very pretty, I usually ignore them, too, because I figure I ain't got a chance considering the hundred of other d-bags probably hounding her.
You seem like a pretty smart guy, so I don't get this. Why do you make the assumption that lots of other "d-bags" are contacting her? And if the other guys ARE d-bags, then you would, in fact, have a pretty good chance, no?

A lot of women are into D-bags, though. When I was online dating, I'd give pretty much everyone I found reasonably attractive, seemingly decent personality-wise, & didn't have disqualifiers I fit a chance... however I'd save the types of girls that would typically be into D-bags for last. I'd focus on alt girls and girly geeks first.
