- Any photographs that you have taken of scenery, your car or anything else that isn't you.
- Photographs that feature your extended family. I really just want to see you, not your parents/siblings/nieces/nephews/etc.
- Any mention of being "drama free" or that you "hate drama." Nothing screams I have issues that end up being dramatic like someone who feels the need to point out drama.
- Guys without shirts who aren't ripped. There's nothing wrong with a guy who isn't totally buff but I really don't need to see a shot of your doughy midsection. Leave the shirtless pics to guys with bigger egos and better abs.
- Anyone who is just "looking for friends." This is a dating site, not a social club. Married men, men in relationships and men who aren't interested in dating are very clearly saying to the world that they're looking for sex.
- Pictures that are older than a year. I don't want to see what you looked like 5 years ago when you were in great shape. I want to know what you look like now.
- Any reference to judging you based on more than photos. "Thanks for getting this far and not just looking at my pics" or "Wow! You're actually reading this instead of just browsing my photos?" In the real world we base people on their looks so what makes you think online dating is any different. If there's no physical attraction we're probably not going to care what you're into online or offline.
- Reminding us all that you're "just checking things out" online. No shit Sherlock! Pretty sure that's what we're all doing. But no, thanks for stating the obvious.
- Pointing out how non-Mormon you are...or pointing out how Mormon you are. There's a details section that allows you to state religious preference on most dating sites, keep the religion talk to that area or to private conversations if it's that big of a deal breaker and if it's that big of a deal breaker Mormons should join LDS dating sites and Non-Mormons should join non-LDS dating sites.
- Pictures of your tattoos. Great! You have tattoos! Why don't we just throw up a picture of your cock and your paycheck while we're at it so I don't have to bother seeing it all in real life if I'm not immediately interested.
- Any pictures of you dressed as Jack Sparrow. If you can't think of a better Halloween costume then really...you probably shouldn't draw attention to that at all.
- And for the special gent who emailed me...Your picture of you wearing a shirt that reads "Legalize Murder" ...ya...not hot.
