Do people seriously advertise for sleep-in housekeepers this way???

Ugh, hard pass. Dateless isn't so bad if this is the alternative, I'd sit home instead, in my clean house.

Seriously. It's online dating. You are literally marketing yourself. If you can't be bothered to so much as produce a paragraph of basic ad copy, dunno what to tell you, except, "Nah."

Yeah..."New here, no time to fill this out!" 18 months later...profile unchanged. LOL.

Still new and busy busy busy, apparently.

Laziness would get a pass from me, for sure. Particularly laziness with words. But that's just my "thing"...not everyone will feel that way. There's a lid for every pot...

As for text-speak, I'd have to assume he was 12 so, not wishing to go to prison, I'd pass on that idiocy too.

The entire reason I wrote my husband in the first place was because his profile was so well-written and appealing.

That's like the kid is school who turned in an essay test 20 minutes early with a note on the bottom saying "ran out of time". I only did that, or rather that kid only did that once.

I have to say I have YET to see this but one thing that would me pass on someone's dating profile is if they stated that they have some sort of food allergies or peanut allergies.It doesn't matter if I thought that they were cute.I would have to seriously think if I would be strong enough and willing enough to give up my peanuts or anything peanut related. Like I've said..I haven't seen that yet on a dating profile BUT that would make me skip past them.

I wanted to roll my eyes at this...until I realized that if I saw "must hate Halloween...God I hate that holiday" on a profile, I'd have to bin it and flush even if the dude were Chris Hemsworth.

I think we all have our weird little deal-breakers.

I saw that on a profile once. I hesitated, but did decide to write to them. It crossed my mind that I would have to be careful about what I ate, because kissing them after eating something like Reese's peanut butter cups could be dangerous to their health.

To me a woman who says she's not a feminist is usually a plus, and they usually ARE feminists, just first or second wave feminists and not 3rd wave feminists(feminazi's), there is a difference.
