January is a boom month for online dating, but certain irksome recurring phrases might put off potential mates.

A Magazine article listing 20 cliches people write on their profiles attracted a huge response from readers.

Here are a few of the most unpopular expressions.

I don't use online dating sites but I found some of these phrases quite funny.

What did you think?
 
Yea I saw a few of them on Plenty of Fish when I was looking. I did find my match though, or actually he found me, we both said how each others profiles were unique and didn't have these phrases. Every one seems to put these!

I can see where it would be a big turn off reading the same crap over and over. Happy you found each other through your uniqueness.
 
Yea, and then there are the usual PMs

"Hi hun" Firstly I'm not you HUN! and secondly where's the conversation?

"Hi hun, what are you into?" 1. ^ , 2. I have a profile read it!

"Hi babe, nice photos" 1. ^ Not your babe either!!!! 2. READ MY PROFILE!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHH!!!

The irony is both me and Tomasz HATE dating sites hahahaha.

Oh, those PM's cracked me up. :lol: I think it was fate that brought you and Thomasz together.
 
Most of em are pretty cheezy quotes. It seems however that that's a great way to eliminate a lot of the posers and only talk to people who have a serious profile.

I agree with Kirito. It's a great way to sort out who you dob't want. It's funny, because they think it makes them look intellectual and different, but in reality it dies the exact opposite! I've never tried online dating.. Luckily me and my girlfriend were able to meet at work.
