Looking for friends first and seeing where it will go...
Down to earth...
I'm fun...
I'm a easy going guy...
Just looking...
Free spirited...
They're obviously black/white/Mexican and they have other for race.
The types of pics the post.
If their about them on their pf is a novel.
Just ask me...
I'm a musician.
I'm an artist.
Take this to an intament level... Means he's a gentleman but he just wants sex only
And last but not least if they lie about anything.

The reason why she said musician/artist is a red flag is because it is often code for unemployed. Not saying it's always the case, but...

I try really hard to overlook this, but it really skeeves me when men my age and older put in their profile that they are looking for someone as young as 18. That's just wrong.

No, being a musician/artist doesn't necessarily mean you are unemployed. (I thought I said that already.) However, you wouldn't be hard pressed to find one that is. Have you ever heard the term "starving artist?" Yeah, that's where that comes from.
And no I don't need a man to take care of me, but I would like one that has the ability to help support a family if need be.

What a woman says she wants and what she really wants are two totally different things. That is the last thing I need...another girl who is looking for a good guy who has had 3 bad relationships in a row with a badboy. Tell me what you have to offer....I might believe that.

If she leans forward with legs cross.
If there is a "$$$" symbol.
If she seems angry about online dating (...yet profile read online now)
If asks for donations/ bill pay/ older white asian men.
If no description.
If no picture.
If pictures are obvious downloads.
If unsure of features: only fat women (i like confident bbw) & gays do that.
If she has over 18 friend but complains of noone to date

What's a red flag? Going to her profile and reading all about how she wants a good man but seeing nothing but thugs in her friends list and hundreds of gifts. This tells me she's just down for whatever and whomever as long as they can spoil her.

First what catches my eye first is their photo. I like clear photo with a nice background.
Not that these are red flags, just things that bother me.
-shirtless pics...yuck.
-naughty girls on their friends list
-photos of them at bars/drinking
-no description or interested listed
-"ask me and I'll tell you"
- too much of I'm "perfect" a girl would be lucky to have me talk
-height below 5'10 (I am 6 foot)
Like the other poster said you shouldn't have red flags until you meet them or maybe they say something over the phone you dislike.

I love this thread OP. Red flags in profiles are the flowing;
Bragging
Talking about sex
Complaining about the past
Unfriendly statements
When the person only states what he wants and says nothing about what he has to offer.

Actual profile...
My halo is dented! Probably should be repossessed in fact. It's complicated!!! Im putting it out there---married, but not getting the attention I need. Material things don't take the place of romance and affection. I'm a working girl who likes to go out and have fun. I'm a social butterfly and not afraid to strike up a conversation. I love my friends dearly, and looking for a great guy to hang out with, have fun with, and who'll shower me with affection.....lots of it. Friendship is very important. I'm not afraid to travel to hang out with the right guy after we get to know each other. I'm ready to start over with someone who can do "all of the above"...I love to laugh and smile...

When they mention a level of income or make other statements about the man needing to be well off. Friends first, or not looking for a relationship, lots of pictures with them holding a drink, and the good old fish face. Also when they admit that the age they put on their profile isn't true, they're already admitting that they lie.

Any negativity in a profile. Don't message me if xyz, all the men on here are losers, stop wasting my time with xyz. It makes it appear that you are impatient and inflexible. Ladies rather than being negative and saying what you don't want, rephrase it into what you do want. Instead of "don't message me if you smoke," say "I'm looking for a non smoker."

I put looking for friends because gotta start with friendship and how long I've been online I approach with no expectations, my personal opinion this site is a joke for dating, pof is better this site has features it don't that would make it better however I think those features are why this site is invested with spam bots and cam girls
Oh crap. Didn't know that.
I'm reluctant to give out my phone number to someone I'm chatting with on the internet. I'd rather meet in person and then think about exchanging numbers. So while chatting with someone yesterday, I offered to meet them for coffee today. He said he'd rather talk first and said that there were a lot of phonies, fake and scammers on this site. "Oh, okay..but I'm real". I gave him my Skype name and said how about 8:30.
The guy probably think that I'm some cam girl now.
IDK...I never had problems meeting people off of POF. Didn't realize things were different over here.
thanks for the heads up.
