I don't care who such a person would be quoting, but the quote itself is pretty asinine. That would be the most offputting for me. But I'm a straight chick. Any guy posting that would just come off as a raging drama factory (as should any woman doing the same, though).
Yep, agree. I think it points to a person who lacks maturity and depth. Very indicative of someone who sees him or herself as a trophy or arm candy, nothing more.
Well, it is, unless they really mean it. I responded when people wrote me with that in their profiles with something along the lines of "what crimes would you like to commit together".
If they came back with something witty, there was hope.
"Well, first, I was thinking of meeting up for some sight treason..."
But I'm waiting for the deluge of responses from men saying "enjoy being alone with your cats!"
To which I would have to retort "it's dogs and books, dumbass, not cats."
Yeah, I would always get that comment from men (and a lot of women on message boards)when I would post my requirements. They'd tell me I'd have to settle (usually with a man with kids)to which I replied "I'd rather have cats than settle". Not sure why so many think being alone is worse than settling, since everyone I know who settled ended up miserable or alone anyway.

And if you figure all those out we're a match made in heaven

looking to have lots of kids
looking for FWB situation
racist, toward any race
Anything poly, or open, I am strictly interested in monogamy
divorced - if he's in my age group, or near it and already divorced.....wow.
I figure when people say "no drama", they mean unnecessary crap, and childish issues. Like a poster here that claims she's spoiled, always nags and pouts when she doesn't get her way, dances on other guys to make her boyfriend jealous, then made he didn't come to claim her, but instead left her at the club. You know, petty HS crap is what I assume some mean with no drama.
I just read it as negative. I never put what I don't want, only what I do want. There was a reason that poster chose a girl like that, and saying "no drama" to me means that person isn't taking responsibility for their part in choosing her. You're not going to avoid attracting a**holes by simply saying "No a**holes" in your profile. IMO you're likely to attract MORE a**holes by stating that.
You meet people quickly and learn to be discerning, go slow, and see what they are like and if you want to date them again. I chose partners in my younger years who treated me badly, so has mostly everyone. I also don't want someone who chews with his mouth open, but I'm certainly not going to say that in my profile. To me saying "no drama" is no different. Normal healthy people don't like drama, nor people who chew with their mouths open; no need to state it, JMO.

"No drama" is a red flag for me. Simply because either to me that signifies that they are someone who normally attracts drama or that there is a decent possibility that they'll bail at the first sign of trouble.
I don't think stating "no drama" in a profile is a DEALBREAKER necessarily, but I'm going to wonder what exactly it means to the person who wrote the profile.
1.Casual sex: It tells me where the person's head is at. That they're probably not always safe. Their health is questionnable. I doubt they're looking for something serious.
2. No degree: If I read that you're not doing something substantial with your life and you're going through jobs like you're changing T-shirts, you're disqualified. I want someone with drive and ambition. Unless you dropped out of college and choose a more fulfilling path which provides you with a certain financial security, you're not a match.
3. Not capable of stringing a sentence together: Hey Shawty Wuzz up gurl? No.
4. "In a relationship": Then what on earth are you doing on this website? I want someone with morals.
1) It's on too many profiles/overused
2) All too often, it's a lie. A bait, catch-all phrase to appeal to then men that like each.
