While I search through my Stack looking for someone who *doesn't* "love to laugh", I was wondering what phrases or descriptive words you find totally meaningless, misused, or just wouldn't mind not seeing any more?

I actually find these a turn off and overused -
I am a kind and simple man .....
-> “kind” - Isn’t this something that others should say about you and not something you say about yourself ?
-> define “simple”
I am an INJT / ENFPS etc -> listing their Meyers-Briggs personality type
I am introverted but will warm up once I get to know you / am comfortable -> majority of ppl are like this isn’t it to strangers
I am who I am -> huh what’s that suppose to mean
I want my date to make me laugh -> are you looking for a personal comedian?
It's even better when their profile says "Make me laugh" (and virtually nothing else, natch). Like, Fuck off, seriously.
It helps to have chemistry with someone to laugh with each other. I may use similar jokes with one person and they find it funny where someone else doesn’t.
I am introverted but will warm up once I get to know you / am comfortable
"I like to call myself an extroverted introvert." - Says every introvert who completely doesn't understand what the terms mean, and thinks that all introverts are socially anxious basement dwellers.
What's annoying with the Meyers-Briggs personality type?
it's been criticized as (and widely considered) pseudoscience. a personality test that has much better academic grounding and is actually used by psychologists is "the big five". i dont necessarily think listing the myers briggs type is annoying, just that it doesnt say much.

"I'm funny, smart, sexy, sassy, independent" etc.
"Fluent in sarcasm"
"I can rock a dress and heels some nights but am happy staying in sometimes too"
"No hookups!"
"Positive vibes only"
My golden rule: "Treat others as you wish to be treated" <--facepalm
*Edit: Forgot one - "I am an extroverted introvert"
Yes! To all of those. Is there a template somewhere from which they just copy 'n paste?
Treat others as you wish to be treated"
that actually attracts me to read more. it says a lot to me.
The reason I groan at that is because that's THE "Golden Rule." I don't think the point of this prompt is to be a quiz question to see if you know what The Golden Rule is. It's meant for you to write your own personal golden rule that is unique to you.
yea true. but I see that as basic in life.
also common courtesy which is lacking with old.
I find people tend to think they treat others better than they actually do.

Looking for my partner in crime
I love tacos

taco like in pussy or mexican food like taco bell?
I must confess I had "love to laugh" in my profile before I realized it's pretty stupid 😂 But I'm honestly known as a person who laughs a lot and for everything so I thought it described me very well lol
Your explanation for having "love to laugh" is clear (that you "laugh easily and a lot". I've been taking it as 1) a requirement to be funny often, or 2) they're letting others know they aren't serious very often. From now on, I'll assume they're like yourself.
When people think the sentence "Most personal and willing to admit detail" means "Your most personal detail." The willing to admit overlap of that Venn diagram has quite a few things in it but I still see:
Not on the internet LOL.
Ask when we meet.
And so on.
When I see those, I just assume they can't read and move on
Same, it's nice when people put red flags right where you can see them.
"Loves life."
Dang, I was searching for a nihilist.
"can't see likes, send a message"
