"I'm seeking a partner in crime"
"I'm as comfortable in jeans and a ball cap as I am in a dress and heels"
"I hate drama and don't want it in my life"
"I'm really X years old, but I put Y years old because of the filters and because I look and feel much younger than my age!"
Nailed it!
When I was doing OLD my instant dealbreakers (aside from smokers and guys with kids) were:
Shirtless photo
Poor spelling/grammar
Anything negative - what he didn't want, what he wasn't looking for, dislikes.
As timberline mentioned, stating in the profile that he lied about his age in the age field due to filters.
Any mention of sex
When it sounded like the guy was looking for a combination Rhodes scholar/bikini model
Smokers and religious fanatics are definitely a no-go. Also if they say "Looking for my soulmate" or "Looking for my prince charming" I don't bother reading any further. Kids are fine as long as they are out of the house on their own supporting themselves, preferably in another state.
1. Men with children
2. Men who've been married
3. Any non-Christian (this is an absolute dealbreaker for me)
4. I agree that any mention of sex is a no-go
5. Smokers
6. Drug users
7. Alcoholics
8. Men still living at home w/their parents
9. Any racist attitudes/thoughts
10.Anyone who approaches me w/ "Yo' shorty!"

1) It's cliche as all get out. Cliches are a turn off.
2) It is almost always not true (please dont' chime in on how it is true for you)
3) No one cares, most of us wear different outfits for different occasions. Big whoop.

"I'm seeking a partner in crime"
"I'm as comfortable in jeans and a ball cap as I am in a dress and heels"
"I hate drama and don't want it in my life" (Defensiveness in general is a turn off: no liars, don't contact me if you want sex, etc etc)
"I'm really X years old, but I put Y years old because of the filters and because I look and feel much younger than my age! I can't relate to men my age and tend to get along better with younger men."
Talking about their relationship with Jesus or some other such crap. I don't date people that are superstitious or believe in the supernatural.
These are probably the best ones, from a phrasing perspective. I don't mind "seeking a partner in crime" so much...it's cliche, and it's not what I'm looking for, but for some reason, it doesn't bother me as much as the rest. Those others, though....stay away.
