My all time favorite, in it’s entirety:
HELLO I AM GOING TO BE HONEST IN WHAT I M LOOKING FOR SO KNOW ONE WASTE THERE TIME I WOULD LIKE A MAN WHO IS 5’9 TO 6’1 BROWN HAIR CLEAN SHAVING, MUST HAVE A GRAET SENSE OF HUMOR AND NOT TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOULY. I DONT HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING PLANNED SPUR OF THE MOMENT CAN BE FUN TOO. I WILL NOT RESPONSE TO NO PHOTO .
THANK YOU AND BE CAREFUL firstnameDeleted
She even smokes often. Be still my beating heart!
Karl R 2
Copied directly from the profile:
“OK…here it is! I am looking for a very specific trait in my mate. He must be well-endowed. As shallow as that may seem, it is my preference and we all have them.”
Later in the same profile:
“To answer the most asked question I get…do you remember the old TV show…Eight is Enough?”
Steve 3
“I’m _____ years old, but I really look _____”
If people look at your pictures and do not agree with that statement you end up looking out of touch with reality. If it is true, you don’t need to say ( maybe just use a date stamp on your pictures ).
Steve 4
It seems like people who write that they are “intelligent” often misspell that word!
Dana 5
Wow. You are hot for a 50-year-old girl!
happy girl 6
I can’t think of the worse line right now
What did bother me were profiles with really bad spelling mistakes. Even from men who supposingly have a University degree.
Oh yes..one guy wrote to me that he was very sensual and very sexual and that was in the first email right of the bat. I guess he wanted to go for the home run, excuse my pun here, straight away and though it best to lay it out there.
No need to explain that i deleted and not responded to this email.
Elle 7
In response to the question: “Who were the three most-influential people in your life,” one guy responded, “The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.” I don’t know — does that creep anyone else out???
Cilla 8
“I’d like to find someone I can leech free home-cooked meals from.”
Rachelle 9
I actually saw a profile the proclaimed he had a “God-given” touch for massage! God-given? Wow, pretty special there!
moonsical 10
Wow! I’m glad to know the semi-literate population has proper female representation! I thought only gals had to put up with that (the above!) I’ll try to find ones to top them, though I delete them so very, very quickly.
For me it’s not *just* the text…what’s up with all the dead animals? Maybe the men can explain that. Is it a show of pride? Being a provider? Virility? Do men really believe those photos attract women? I just rec’d a profile where ALL the pics (I believe there were four) had large, dead fish in them. Oh, baby!

Any variation on “I’m just as comfortable at a gallery opening in a dress as I am eating ice cream at home in my PJs.”
It says, “I’m trying to be everything to everybody” instead of staking out an interesting image.
I’ve stopped disqualifying girls based on this line, because that would be everybody (at least in Manhattan, on Match.com).
To be fair, someone who writes that can still be a really nice girl – I just wish people were more original.
Ava 12
I was once contacted by a man who spoke in his profile of a desire to be diapered. Yeah, you read that right. And this was not on a sexually-oriented or “kinky” personals site, but a regular dating site.
My other favorite (verbatim):
“I’m looking for someone who’s at least 5’9″, and at most a size 6 – 8. Also, I’m very sorry to have to spell this out, but I’m also looking for D/DD only.” Good luck finding a woman built like a Barbie doll!
Zann 13
“I was married for 15 years of hell, been divorced for 3 months, but don’t have any baggage.”
Yea, right.
Worst profile member names (no lie):
“BigStick4U”
“8inchesNmore”
and the prize winner: “Longlolicking”
It just doesn’t get any better than that.
JuJu 14
Okay, don’t know if this was THE worst, but here, found this in my correspondence:
“your add nice and typical character of the person who not satisfied in the there sex life , if it is true, i can help you, do not be affaid”
JuJu 15
Another pearl:
“Those who will answer to your message will most probably be not from the set that you are looking for. I am, but you don’t know that. And I don’t know if you are a person, an image or whatsoever. And I will never know who you are. And we will never talk and will never go to a movie theater, theater, mountains.
We are all busy. I alredy regret that have spent so much time writing to you.”
This was the man’s first, introductory e-mail.
As for the worst line in a profile, what comes to mind right now is some man’s offer to perform cunnilingus on anyone who lets him.
happy girl 16
I like to add to moonsical’s comment…What is up with the photo’s of motorbikes, motorboats & car’s???? Photo’s of the ocean, forests in profiles. Can anyone explain that to me?
Is that suppose to entice me to contact a guy?
satexasgirl 17
A guy once sent me a series of emails that started out that he was working on writing some thing special for me. Then another a minute or so later saying he was still working. A third, again within only a couple of minutes saying he was almost done. The fourth was his grand masterpiece- a song. In theory, it sounds great. There were two problems though. 1) He changed the lyrics from “If You Like Pina Coladas”, but claimed it was original. 2) I received all of the emails in 5 minute time span which told me he had already completed the “song” prior to sending the the first email.
Jimmy E 18
okay, this is funny. However, i think its also a bit easy, and not very useful.
Surely a better question would be, “what’s the BEST thing you’ve ever read in an online dating profile?”
Kim 19
I love to laugh!
Everyone on the planet loves to laugh, it’s like saying you enjoy breathing.
Sometimes I enjoy staying in, but other times I like to go out.
Duh. Everyone on the planet…
Basically, these generic items. Oh, and “looking for a partner in crime” is way overused.
I agree that poor grammar and punctuation is a turn-off.
Jennifer 20
Not representative of the *worst* line but any variation on ‘no liars, no cheats, no game players’ is irksome. Who is really out there looking for a liar? And if someone is a liar, they are unlikely to reveal that to you in the beginning. Just wasted space.
I have a feeling I’m in the minority here, but I actually can appreciate when guys put things in their profile like size/height requirements. It puts it all out there up front and if you aren’t a match, you know not to write him and not to be confused when he doesn’t write you back. And if someone with such specific requirements, even if you meet the requirements, is a turn-off for you then you know he isn’t the one. I prefer that type of upfront info though- one guy wrote in his profile that he had herpes (he’s taking medication) and that he occasionally sleeps with older women for money. Now don’t you think he save a lot of women who aren’t into that some time by saying it up front?
JuJu 21
one guy wrote in his profile that he had herpes (he’s taking medication) and that he occasionally sleeps with older women for money. Now don’t you think he save a lot of women who aren’t into that some time by saying it up front?
What is this, stupidity in motion?
This info is so unnecessary and unflattering that I am even thinking the profile was a fake.
Jennifer 22
@JuJu you know, i never considered the profile was a fake. It seemed pretty earnest, but you never know.
Jennifer 23
Forgot to mention- he didn’t come right out and say ‘i sleep with older women for money’. He said something about looking for a relationship but in the mean time he had some older friends that he occasionally saw that liked to give him money/presents.
forchange 24
I think the worst lines are usually unoriginal. For catchy headings I try to use lines from songs or something funny or a funny movie quote.
JuJu 25
JimmyE, while that would be interesting in theory, in reality publicizing such a line, if it existed, would completely devalue it.
I can tell you what would do ME in: wit and evidence that this person is striving for personal growth.
moonsical 26
This is by far NOT the worst, but not atypical and fresh from today (this is the entire profile.) It is from a one-to-one match notification on singlesnet:
“Looking for somone who is HONEST! that loves children and will be themselves. Liars can apply somwhere else. ”

Slim Pickens 27
I have a follow-up question for Evan. Do you think you are being honest if you came along and helped rewrite the profile I posted as the very first reply in this thread? I think I’d feel cheated if read a well constructed profile, then came to find out that the person behind it was in fact borderline illiterate.
JuJu 28
Slim Pickens, you are definitely onto something. Obviously if an individual is even capable of producing such drivel, this person is inadequate, and not someone I’d want to associate with regardless of how presentable someone else makes them.
This makes me wonder about all those makeover shows – do the changes really last? If the person in question has no sense of style whatsoever, it’s not like one can impart it to them.
Cilla 29
To Slim and Juju:
I would guess that Evan tries to help his clients improve their profiles but keep to a “voice” that is genuinely their own. Perhaps the “e-Cyrano” aspect makes his process sound more disingenuous than I bet it is. The intention isn’t for someone to find a match “above” them–just to find someone who is compatible with them by presenting themselves in the best light possible.
I’ve never worked with Evan, but I can’t imagine he’d have the success he has if he made every Jed Clampett sound like Albert Schweitzer. Someone who is truly illiterate will be revealed in the first email he sends out–I don’t know if Evan would take on such a client. But no one can be faulted for having a second eye check for spelling errors and expressions that sound a little trite to a seasoned Internet dater.
Selena 30
Replying to Jennifer’s posts:
Re: the guy stating in his profile he sees older friends who sometimes give him money and presents…
I’ve known *many* guys over the years who professed to have the fantasy of being a gigolo. Maybe the guy who’s profile you read has actually been ‘living the life’, but I think it’s equally (or more so) possible he was angling for a woman who was open to such a situation.
Hope springs eternal they say.
Kenley 31
Given what I perceive to be the level of intelligence and literacy of people who just read and respond on this blog, I sincerely doubt that Evan’s clients are illiterate and when he writes a profile from them, he is misrepresenting who they really are. Evan’s services are fairly expensive so I suspect that most of the people who are going to hire him are probably pretty successful men and women and I really don’t think they are illiterate.
So, if you see a really engaging and well-written profile, I don’t think you need to worry that you are going to end up with someone who is stupid and unable to carry a intelligent conversation.
moonsical 32
Lol…we’ve moved on to speculating on the literacy rate of Evan’s clientele? My guess is (also) that only the literate can afford to pay.
Profile from a new contact (today):
i think being open and having fun no pressure
Enjoy a good book or just chill on the coach its all good anyway iam open very easy to hang out with i really hope to hear from you..One of my favorite things to do is go to the beach int he winter or summer it dont matter its a since of fresh air..How can u not like the beach and the waves around u ..Its just ppure fun..I also collect antiqure motorcyles that i put around on ..just little hobbby..Ohh yea i have golden retiever i run alot shes alot of work but will worth it shes about 2 years old and very friendly:)..I like to take her out and run she can so full of energy …I also like a simple night by the fire or a good movie to chill with I also like to stay in on those blistery nights

Your Lovelife 33
The very stupidest, most annoying profiles I see are the ones which contain variations on “Anything you want to know about me, just ask.” This means that if you spot someone you find attractive and want to make contact, you risk getting back a reply that says, “Well, hello, gorgeous!!! My name’s Earl, and I live in my mother’s basement with my two cats, Bart and Lisa, and my dog Spork. I deliver papers on my bicycle, but I’m hoping to get a job at Jed’s gas station pumping gas as soon as my parole officer lets me. What say you and I meet Friday evening and light up a bong? I got some mighty fine weed my cousin Jethro grew in his window box!”
I *hate* those “I’m an open book”-type “profiles.” They may as well leave them blank (or just type “asdsdfsdfdfgdfg” like some other idiots do).
A-L 34
There have been some doozies, but I don’t keep them around for posterity. Here’s one that I came across today.
“I am passionate about several aspects in my daily life. Some include intervening contractions during my daily schedule. I elaborate and think out questions. I am truly passionate about my 6 pac and my job as a master surgeon.”
The picture also looks like it was taken from a magazine. Unfortunately, however, the profile was not meant to be a joke.
moonsical 35
New today from my Match5:
Sensitive person who enjoys life. Looking for outgoing person who will be happy to be spontaneous. Enjoys life and willing to take a few chances. Nicew and clean with a little secretive dirty side of life.
This is the whole, “about me,” section. Dig that last line! I don’t even want to know!
moon
JuJu 36
A-L, that is truly a gem! Thanks for sharing.
What on earth are “intervening contractions”?
This reminded me of this one girl’s profile that said “I don’t lie, I live”, whatever that means. The rest of the text made about as much sense.
Daniel 37
*LOL* Very entertaining comments, although I doubt the sincerity of the person at the other end on a couple of ‘em.
To throw my pet peeve into the ring… Bad spelling and/or grammar really annoy the !@#$ out of me. Whether the message is on a dating site or elsewhere, I hate Hate HATE having to guess what idea the writer is trying to convey. Run-on paragraphs are horrible. It’s called a “full stop”… use it. Throw in an exclamation mark if you choose, but end the sentence! Punctuation is meant to clarify ideas and set a rhythm to sentences and paragraphs. Among other things, it tells you when to pause, when to stop, and when your tone should change. This is read monotone in my mind: “beach-int-he-winter-or-summer-it-dont-matter-its-a-since-of-fresh-air’. I know it’s preaching to the choir to post it here, but proofread your stuff! Use an online dictionary if a word doesn’t look quite right. (Typos are forgiven.)
On a side note…
Moon: If you’ve never spent a blistery night on the beach, I feel sorry for you. Drop me a line and we can take a nice evening walk and get blistered together.
While reading that message, I had to backtrack so many times to figure out what that guy *really* meant to say.
That’s quality garbage.
JuJu: Do they no longer teach intervening contractions?!? An example of an intervening contraction is the word “woisn’tn’t”, which means something is not currently and will never be. To use it in a sentence, “The author of the message woisn’tn’t seeing anyone.” Now you know.
hehe… sorry for taking up so much real estate on this page. :

I came across this lovely gal today on Yahoo.

Lisa 39
I think it’s a toss up between these two:
“I do not want to be your emotional tampon…” (ewww)
“Tired of being lonley and abused. I’m a self employed carpenter, I’ve been married twice,my first wife had a boyfriend, and my second left me for a women. Icould’nt get mad at my second wife because I like girls also.”
Wow, I wonder if people really find someone despite writing this stuff?
starthrower68 40
“Nice guy with an edge”. I have no idea what that means. Some of the bad grammar and syntax can tip you off to certain things, i.e. Nigerian internet scammer. Oh yeah, they hit the datings sites.
A-L 41
This one wasn’t part of a profile, it was his headline. This man who was looking at my profile is 27 years older than me and lives 930 miles away from me. And this is a profile on a Christian website, to boot.
“Christian Dom Seeking Christian Submissive”
Just another gem.

JB 44
Here’s a special guy for you gals………exactly as it’s written by this happy go lucky “college graduate”
“I’m tired of being alone and looking for a relationship with that special someone to spend the rest of my life with and grow old together and have as much fun as possible along the way. Travel the world eventually and spend time with family and friends. Are you this person, if so drop me a line and lets talks”
starthrower68 45
JB, said “college graduate” left too many participles dangling.
A-L 46
JB, your #44 is what passes as halfway decent in my neck of the woods. I’ve actually given somewhat serious thought of contacting guys to see if they want me to write a profile for them (for free) as some sort of service to the women doing online dating around here.
Evan Marc Katz 47
Hey A-L, don’t kill my business!
http://www.e-cyrano.com
We’ve been writing profiles for 6 years – and they actually work!
EMK
JB 48
But Evan the problem with 99% of these incredibly horrible profiles both male AND female is that they don’t want nor do they think they need help of any kind free OR paid. We’re talking about literally hundreds of thousands of people who don’t know or even care that their profiles are basically a joke. The main thing the sticks in my head as read so many of them is that I can’t believe that so many so called college grads are so inept at writing a coherent profile and that’s leaving the pictures OUT of the equation …LOL Maybe you should email ALL of them Evan and tell them about your services. There’s gold in them there hills !!!!!
Evan Marc Katz 49
You’re correct, JB. I thought that I was going to be a zillionaire with E-Cyrano.com. Thought it was going to be like CareerBuilder on Monster.com. Didn’t occur to me that people will pay a lot more money to get a job than to find love. Thankfully, our clients manage to find us. Hey, next time a guy writes you an illiterate email, just respond with http://www.e-cyrano.com.
Miriam 50
I’ve come across a few but this from today:-
” I’m a widower looking for a good woman to share my life again after a great 34 year marriage to a truly wonderful person. She will need to accept a) my continuing love for my late wife b) my very close and loving relationship with my 3 children and their families.”
JB 51
Actually I am a guy…lol All these wonderful quality profiles are emailed to my female recons. As well as the women’s profiles I’m always reading for myself. I feel sorry for the women but I feel a lot more sorry for these guys. I wonder how many weeks these guys stay on without getting a response let alone a date. I think the research shows less than 2 months or something. Don’t worry ladies there’s always new wonderful clueless men that become single every day and say “Hey Vern maybe we should try us some of that there internet dating stuff.”
A-L 52
Don’t worry Evan, I’m not about to ruin your business.
But here’s another guy who winked at me that could DEFINITELY use some help:
“i can say that im a fun person to be around and i like to have fun crack jokes and try make my partner smile and laugh i always like to look fresh and dress to impress i have goals and expect the same im very energetic and like to keep moving and doing somthing i have a strong back and have the stanmia of a horse (not to mention hung like one)so ladies im the total package holla at me.”
JB 53
I read this one today from a nice looking “Single – never married 44 yr. old lady”
“Just made apple struedel and kolachies for the first time at Xmas. When hanging out with friends, like BBQs, festivals, wine tastings. I am hoping to be a mom soon – decided I can’t wait any longer for that great life partner – and I’m very excited about being a mom. Just looking for that super nice, together guy who wants to grab life by the horns and move forward together”
Although she is a little above average looking (looks like Jane Curtin from SNL) I’m sure the guys WON’T be beating down her door to date or get involved with this eager “mom to be” ?? Opinions ??
Sayanta 54
One guy I came across had “flying spaghetti monster” as his profile name. Too bad- his pic was hot. But I’m just sooo not attracted to flying spaghetti monsters.
Sayanta 55
“I’M LOOKING FOR MR.WRIGHT.I LIKE GOING FOR A LONG BIKE RIDE.A NICE DINNER,MOVIES,ALL SIMPLE THINGS.BUT HAVEN’T SEEM TO THEM LATELY.HOPE SOON I WILL? SOMETHING I SHOULD TELL YOU I HAVE LITTLE GIRL SHE’S seven YEARS OLD.SHE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.WILL HOPE TH ATS ENOUGH FOR KNOW” –
Man, you found my profile! I must hide in shame forever now.

Evan – post #56
LOL! Ok- you’re right. Thanks for ‘enlightening’ me. ;-p But the dude was still weird though.
Jeff 58
So everyone’s OK with the general idea of ghostwritten profiles? Then Photoshopped pictures should be fine too, right? And after all that disingenuous tweaking, how are you supposed to make any sort of realistic judgment about the qualities of the person who the profile represents? Whether a person can express themselves attractively and coherently and has something interesting to say is an important part of choosing whom to email. Maybe you’ll figure it out in the first few emails you receive back, but that’s a waste of everyone’s time. You are who you are, and having someone else write you a fascinating profile or digitally remove those 30 unwanted pounds isn’t going to change the ultimate outcome. In fact, doing those things just sets you up to disappoint your date if they finally do meet you you’re not going to look or sound like your profile, and there goes that first impression.
starthrower68 59
I’m suprised – and maybe I shouldn’t be – at the number of profiles where they put up a picture and nothing else. Or they don’t even put up the picture. And then there are those princes that want to discuss all their sexual preferences and fantasies, etc. in their profile. Because women just love that stuff.
starthrower68 60
BTW, the phrase “work hard and play hard”? That’s gotta go.
Steve 61
I’m ____ years old, but I look like I’m only ___-

“Just as comfortable in heels as a pair of jeans”
– especially bad if it is on a guy’s profile
another FSM fan 63
#41
And this is a profile on a Christian website, to boot.
“Christian Dom Seeking Christian Submissive”
-> Maybe the profile was otherwise awful, and perhaps 99% of people will quickly click away, but I think this is exactly the kind of thing to be up front about in a profile. The Dom/Sub community is already a minority and the Christian faction a small minority within that.
The guy probably isn’t expecting a ton of responses, and knows he’s taking a shot in the dark. Still, if he doesn’t put out there what he’s looking for, he’s even more unlikely to find it.
Besides, that kind of thing is rather awkward to bring up when you’re first getting to know someone. Better to put it on the table up front.
Andrea 64
Let’s see how about the cliche that you are “equally comfortable in a tux or jeans,” or the request that a woman is equally comfortable dressed up or in jeans? Aren’t most professional adults capable of dressing appropriately for special occasions? Or just most adults period? I think people figure it out by senior prom. Does anyone really break out in hives if they have to wear formal attire?
Um, here is one that is really common and gross. Getting emails from white men (I’m a black woman) who will say that they are “open-minded” and “want the experience of being with a black woman,” while making it clear that they do not want to date me at all. Most recent one. ”I’ve always wanted to date a black woman like you. I don’t want anything serious, but I’m very open-minded and I’m looking for new experiences, etc.” I don’t reply to those clearly, although part of me wants to write back something telling the person what a racist idiot he is. Because it’s like, wow, how awesome. You want to see what it’s like to sleep with a black woman but you don’t want anyone to know that you have, and you think that emailing and requesting that on a regular dating site will actually work. I’m sorry, are many professional women with two advanced degrees hoping to get used like trash by random men? Who would consent to being someone’s racist science experiment? Isn’t that what Craigslist is for? Or hookers maybe. I can’t see how you’d expect to get that for free.
But it’s pretty common, it’s gross and offensive, and it’s the lamest thing I’ve encountered, and I’ve only been online for a couple of months. I hope I’m not tipping off any creeps who might re-evaluate their strategy here. However, I think that anyone with this attitude would show his hand soon enough for any unsuspecting women to run for the hills.
At any rate, I would love to know if anyone thinks that black women are just lining up to get used and tossed aside by someone who’d never be seen with them publicly. That can’t ever work.
Oh, also got an email from someone telling me that I looked like I’d be a “good submissive.” Again, regular online dating site, and I’m not sure what that means and I’m not into that, nor would anything in my profile suggest that I am.
Really, really bad grammar that goes beyond anything that could be excused by typos. People claiming to be college educated or beyond who have a worse command of grammar than a 4 year old.
And any man who either writes in private or in his profile bragging about being sensual, having a lot of stamina, etc. Again, that sounds like something for Craigslist.
Goldie 65
Nothing to contribute, just wanted to say that Your Lovelife #33 made me LOL @ this:
“My name’s Earl, and I live in my mother’s basement with my two cats, Bart and Lisa, and my dog Spork.”
Very nice
Also, #39, I actually found this kind of cute, although way TMI for a profile. But, hey, at least the guy’s got a positive outlook:
“I’m a self employed carpenter, I’ve been married twice,my first wife had a boyfriend, and my second left me for a women. Icould’nt get mad at my second wife because I like girls also.”
Denise 66
I always found it interesting to read a really compelling profile, well written, good grammar and spelling, introspective, few or no cliches. THEN you get the actual email from the person, and it’s like Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde! There is no way the man writing the emails is the man that wrote the profile. RED FLAG!
