Dating apps aren't for the faint of heart.
When you build a profile on an app, you're signing yourself up for scrutiny and judgment from strangers, awkward conversations, and potential rejection.
While everyone is looking for something different in a fling or romantic partner, there are certain patterns that consistently turn prospective matches off.
'You better be able to hold a conversation' Then my back hurts as I proceed to carry the whole conversation.
'I'm not on here much, add me on Instagram/Snapchat/TikTok.' I'm not here to increase your follower count and I'm not chasing you across platforms.
I'm specifically referring to people who have this as their bio, not asking to move off your dating site of choice after talking to someone for a while.
‘Entertain me’ ‘don’t be boring.’
Typically these people are the dullest and most entitled people I’ve ever interacted with.
“If you can’t handle me at my worst, you won’t deserve me at my best.”
If I can’t handle you at your worst, I don’t want you at your best.
Anyone who pretends they are too “cool” for dating sites.
“My friends dared me” “I’ll probably delete this in 24 hours.”
You are just like the rest of us Diane, lonely or horny. Get over yourself.
One profile I saw a while back, the woman stated that she wouldn't consider any man who makes less than 100K. There are more subtle ways to convey that: 'I want someone ambitious, driven, and successful in his career.'
The way she phrased it made her look like a gold digger, especially since she wasn't making anything close to that amount.
“If you’re not ___ tall don’t swipe”
I’m not ___ tall.
“Make me laugh.”
I’m not a comedy show you selected on Netflix. I’m a man. If you laugh at what I say cool. But don’t put pressure on me to be some comedian for your amusement.
When it's 2-3 of the same people in every single picture and I have no idea who she is. That level of obliviousness is so unattractive. Disturbingly obvious filters.
“I’m looking for my Joker to my Harley Quinn.”
Sorry, but unless it’s for cosplay or Halloween, that tells me you’re rather dysfunctional in relationships and somehow thrive in it.
'I'll probably like your dog more than you.'
'Change my mind about men'
Dawg if you come into this expecting to dislike me by default, it isn't worth my time.
Background is a f**king dump, doesn't matter how many filters you put on if you live in a sh*tshow it's gonna be apparent.
“Fluent in sarcasm.” Oh, so you’re insufferable. Thanks for letting me know!
Crazy manicured eyebrows. Lookin like a stencil, barely attached to your head, just floating there. Wired, I know.
