The only profiles i "perv" are the ones on the login screen, and when some random person sends me message.

I get highly annoyed by the large fonts, nudie pics, and the ones that are just plain blank.

1. Empty profiles.

2. Profiles that just say "UK" yet clearly state they want real life meetings but don't want any time wasters. The UK is small but not THAT small. How the hell do I know whether I'll be wasting your time (and mine) if you don't say at least roughly where you are?

3. Profiles which don't say anything about what the person is looking for when, when it comes down to it, they actually do have a rigid set of criteria.

I could go on...

19 year old "Money Dommes" who have them flipping the bird as their primary photo and then a bunch of text speak.

'Lesbians' who have nudity as their primary photo and in their profile, they whine about guys looking at your profile.

Guess what princess, if you put a nice looking pair of tits out there, Im gonna look at em.

I'm straight...I'll address this from the standpoint that the profiles, when I was looking, were of men.
Nude photos of the profilee. Nude or other photos of other women...I absolutely detest that. I don't need to see other naked women to know you have had sex before and I'm not 5 so I don't need to see the naked women tied up photos - its like drawing in crayons..."this is what I wanna do to you." Sheesh. Like I need the visual on a BDSM site to know that certain acts might be on the table when we're to that point where we discuss it. To me having other nude women displayed is the ultimate in tacky.

Textspeak annoys the living hell out of me. Lack of spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, paragraphs, makes you look like you can't be bothered to do things right. Sure, a couple of mistakes are fine, but put some effort into it or I'll not let you near my naked body to do nefarious things, because I won't trust that you'll be careful about it. Negativity is a major turn off as is random caps to stress various weird pronouncements of more negativity. Background clutter in photos. Stern, 'Domly' photos that make you look constipated.

Everything in the profile is either sex or kink...bleah. Ok, I get that you want to get laid. To me, the less of sex that is mentioned the better...you can always get to that later. Usernames that are sexual. Having everything under the sun listed in 'looking for'. Yup, you want to get laid and don't care with who. Desperation and any sign that you'll take anyone at all. Immediate displays of faux Dominance.

Oooooh, where do I start? I think its kinda easy when looking at Domme profiles as I suspect they know very well that all they have to do is select the 'Female' and 'Dominant' bits and they'll be pretty much assured of a full mailbox..

Horrible amounts of spelling errors - the odd one or two is fine, but when half the profile has red squigglies under it, it's not good and it just looks lazy.

Ridiculous colour combinations - I will often press the 'journals' button to see the odd entry that seems insightful or amusing (and send off a message to say so), but there's a proportion of people on there who really don't seem to get that some colour combinations are just impossible to read (black on dark brown *sigh*) or are quite painful. Same (though not to that extent) with some of the profiles.

Font sizes - as someone has said before, too big and I just won't read it - it's inefficient, looks ugly and suggests that the person didn't actually check to see what their profile looks like. That, or they're being a fucking attention whore.

Ridiculous demands - a few profiles have long lists of things that they couldn't possibly have in a potential match and I end up thinking, if they actually stuck to those requirements, whether they'd ever even meet someone, no matter form any kind of relationship with them. One person I read recently was talking about how she could never meet up with someone who (a) didn't know the difference between a Mistress and a Goddess..or (b) if they'd ever been in a D/s relationship before. WTF, get over yourself!

People using certain names - 'Piggies', 'Subbies' and others that don't come to mind atm

People being excessively negative in their profiles / journals.

People identifying others in their profiles - I can understand putting the username of someone who has obviously been a tosspot in your journal, but when someone hasn't actually seemed to have done anything wrong? Even worse, identifiable information (names, addresses) - I just report them.

Saying very little in their profiles - makes you really not want to write anything, simply because there's very little of interest to ask about..and you end up asking stuff thats kinda boring. For extra bonus peeve points - add something about not wanting one-liners at the end too.

A full set of photos that are just images pulled off google - don't mind a couple of fun or underwear-raising images, but 10+ ..and none of them are actually the person themselves? I'd prefer no photo at all.

Playing up to fantasywank 'subs' *sigh* - NEXT

That'll do.
