- The photo of that tattoo you got after the divorce "because it's something I always wanted to do for myself." Well, it's ugly and now you're stuck with it forever.
The unimaginative profiles that show interests as exciting as "I like long walks on the beach and margaritas."- Inappropriate screen names.
The photo of you doing your first and only tandem skydive to show everyone that you're adventurous. Hint: Most divorced women do this.
A picture of the dolphin you swam with for 5 minutes at the Mexican resort. Did you know that this is unnatural for the dolphin and the creature really didn't enjoy it?
Pictures of your dog. If you say you like poodles, great. We don't need a photo of one.
"Winks" from women in China and Russia desperate to improve their lot in life.- My top annoyance: Profile photos taken with your girlfriends that leave the viewer guessing which one you are.

Online Dating Annoyances

Is Mr. Louis Minatti III currently "on the market", so to speak? :-X
I've dropped many hints regarding this matter. :-)
So, which sights are the better ones? Just something for potentially future reference sake.
I do enjoy looking still at the niche sights like Shaadi and there was also a liberterian and a skinhead sight for a while. The skinhead sight was the worst of all.
The ads were like "I like pina coladas, long walks on the beach, and lynching people different from me."
I figured out you being on the market a while ago. Sorry about it and the ensuing mess.
Moving forward, if I were to be single at my age (40) I don't think I would hit the dating sites for many of the reasons you have already listed.
I do have certain standard with women - I couldn't be seen with a fatty or an ugly one. I wouldn't trust the photos they put up.
There are a lot of women that have hit on me at bars, even while I was having one beer waiting for some take-out. Don't know what it is, just seems much easier for me to deal with the real thing right off the bat. Always has.
Thanks, Dan.
My advice for those who need it: :-)
Stick with the paid sites. You get what you paid for with the free ones. I've met some nice women via a paid site.
When there is more than one woman in a photo and you are left to pick out which one it is... It's always the ugly or fat one. Always.
Funny, but I was thinking being single at 40 is a good bit like being single at 20: I would have a crappy car and no money. Though I would at least have a hell of a lot more wisdom when it would come to looking for a mate.
When there's only one woman in the photo, chances are she'll cost $300 per hour for "full service". ;-p
Dan's comment reminded me of a Family Guy episode when the dad character rounded up some local fat guys for an obesity acceptance group. There was a sign beside the meeting notice "No fat chicks!"
I was browsing the net and your article caught my attention. It is really interesting.
I've dropped many hints regarding this matter. :-)
I remember the ones where you talked about orthodontia...and then there was the one where you deleted your blog.
When were the others? I apparently missed them.
Anon - you should have been able to figure that a breakup would have been one of the hammers.
Lou: Don't forget to add 35 year old white women whose first sentence on their description says either "I like to hang out with my PEEPS" or "I like to have PHUN!!!"
Lou, are you free? I've been waiting for a date for years ever since usenet.
I hope everything is alright, I haven't been keeping up lately. I've been fan of your blog for years & you know that.
