What are the silliest/funniest/most ridiculous standards for traits in a partner that you've seen?

todo_pasa_ · 2022-08-11T21:42:52+00:00

My own
I want someone who uses Reddit but at the same time I don't like Redditors

😄

Illustrious_Wish_383 · 2022-08-12T05:53:08+00:00

My ex broke up with me because I wasn't ambitious enough despite:

working on my masters
having a better paid internship than either of her jobs

And in the same breath had the audacity to tell me that I focus too much on my job, but also kept claiming that she wanted a 6 figure man.

My sister in christ, make up your fucking mind.

SouthernGrass3 · 2022-08-12T02:21:31+00:00

Sounds like the second dude is seeking those tall genes lol

I knew a morbidly obese guy who thought he should have a skinny girl friend because “it’s cute that I’m big and she’s small”. He befriended very attractive slim woman and complained about the friendzone…often

ExpensiveShoulder580 · 2022-08-11T22:05:45+00:00

Fat women wanting ripped dudes. Fat dudes wanting fit/slim women. Short women not wanting men under 6'. Broke/poor men not wanting women who make more than them.

JumboJetz · 2022-08-11T22:41:08+00:00

I don’t know if this is a ridiculous standard but I will pass on someone on a dating app if they have the same name as a family member. No matter how hot they are I will.

avoiding_a_stalker · 2022-08-11T23:02:27+00:00

I want to preface this by saying that anyone is absolutely entitled to whatever standards they want to have, given that they aren't bitching about how nobody meets that standard. Have ridiculous standards if you're okay with losing opportunities because of it - you do you.

- Average/below average guys/girls going after super fit, attractive people

- People who barely got through high school wanting to date someone super educated

- Someone who makes minimum wage wanting to date someone making 6 figures

- Wanting a partner to be a SAHP when they don't make enough to support the family on a single income

- Basically anyone who wants something they don't possess/contribute some sort of equivalent to (there's a tradeoff to everything, sure, but you have to bring something into a relationship)

I have stupidly high standards (laughably so) myself so yeah, feel free to make fun of me. All good

themetahumancrusader · 2022-08-11T21:43:31+00:00

I remember seeing on here that some guy refused to date women who wore pink - something about how it was juvenile.

bigapple4am · 2022-08-12T00:34:02+00:00

My uncle had a best friend in high-school who told him to never date an “island girl” ( any island) apparently they all do witch craft. I think its beyond silly.

DorianneGrey · 2022-08-11T22:11:01+00:00

50+ year old balding paunchy men on OLD, pics of fancy cars, watches, boats etc. Looking only for slender, attractive women 18-29 and specifically saying NO GOLD DIGGERS!🤣🤣🤣

EatMyAsssssssssssss · 2022-08-12T10:04:55+00:00

Wanting an age gap relationship but not wanting a gold digger.

Paranoidexboyfriend · 2022-08-12T12:57:15+00:00

My wife has friends she works with that wont date a man that makes less money than them. Which is usually an ok standard, but these women are doctors making 450k per year

Miserable_Yam4778 · 2022-08-12T03:58:59+00:00

I once had a DEEPLY Christian dude ask me out, and when I turned him down (because atheist) he got super pissy. Found out from a male friend who went to his church later on that he would ONLY go after women who weren't Christian.

Some sort of conversion/domination kink I assume. Last I saw he was still single and bemoaning the state of modern women.

neetykeeno · 2022-08-12T04:07:07+00:00

People who don't think about how they word things to look less shit themselves can bring exactly what they don't want

He says he wants a woman with a healthy athletic lifestyle when what he really means is he wants skinny but sedentary. He ends up going on a day hike with her and two friends and nearly cries after an hour walking.

She says she wants an ambitious man when what she really means is she wants a man with a plan to be financially stable with as little effort or disruption as possible. She ends up dating a guy for four months before finding out the office job is just for capital to start flipping houses and he intends to do most of the hard physical work himself hopefully with her help. He thinks five years flipping houses could get them some farmland he can improve...he shows her footage of a machine used for removing rocks from fields...with the rocks you can make dry stone fences. He really wants a derelict mansion or old convent too...a bed and breakfast sounds profitable. Look...this place in Cape Breton is cheap it even has its own dock, maybe if he finds something like that on an island ..

shockedpikachu123 · 2022-08-11T22:56:37+00:00

Someone mentioned here if she has a cat it’s an automatic no. Dogs only. I mean I can understand if he has allergies but what does someone’s pets have to do with them as being dateable or not lol

Ok_Bike_369 · 2022-08-12T05:35:38+00:00

I donno. But if I'm ever single again I am gonna ask them if they follow any doggy instagram accounts. If they don't, bye!

Marzipan-Happy · 2022-08-12T03:29:36+00:00

5'7 or above and 110 pounds with large breasts. Sooooo.... you want a Skeleton with tits?

fnonpm · 2022-08-11T22:06:08+00:00

The short guy has the right idea for his potential sons sake

Wait sort of like how women do it

2022-08-12T06:58:18+00:00

I have seen both men fat men and fat women, bawl about how the hot dude / chick at the gym won't give them the time of the day

Kentucky_Supreme · 2022-08-11T23:04:45+00:00

Forgot where I saw this but some woman rejected a guy on the first date because "his shoes didn't match his belt".

keepin2002 · 2022-08-12T03:54:05+00:00

this dating show on YouTube had woman wanting a man who is a reformed roadman

kalashhhhhhhh · 2022-08-12T11:11:28+00:00

I unfortunately know a girl who turned down a guy she was talking to and vibing with because he had an Android phone? (mind you, we're not in the US, most of the people here have an Android phone).

decoy88 · 2022-08-12T04:10:33+00:00

Dude who hates fat chicks wants to date fat chicks out of desperation

poppy_blu · 2022-08-11T21:36:52+00:00

The occasional 40+ person who’s suddenly single and “prefers” not to date anyone with children. Or has the same list of preferences they had the last time they were single in their 20s.

WOPR-1983 · 2022-08-12T06:45:57+00:00

I met a feminist chick who became feminist when her husband cheated on her when she got too fat and she divorced him.

She once said the number of men in the country who would be qualified to date her she could "probably count on one hand." I laughed out loud. She glared at me.

She was not joking.

Apparently the top 5 men in this country like angry land whales.

(I think she's just a fat narcissistic cunt though.)

Green__Bananas · 2022-08-11T22:08:36+00:00

All the dudes on here throwing their toys out of the cot because a girl made them wait till the third date to fuck when they heard that chick once fucked a guy on a first date.

HazyMemory7 · 2022-08-12T02:21:07+00:00

Women in her 30s wanting 6ft guy making 200k. lol

Honestly I think single mothers expecting any childless man to date them and raise a child that isn't their's is pretty ridiculous. Barring situations like a coordinated decision to adopt with your spouse or your nephew/niece's parents passing away, I don't think any man with self respect should raise another man's child.

NelsonManswella · 2022-08-12T13:23:32+00:00

height. it will always be height, for me.

as a 5’6 man, it’s incredibly annoying seeing 6’0+ dudes with women shorter than me. Y’all dudes know that models HAVE to be tall. do y’all not find those women attractive..?

it’s incredibly annoying having a woman the same height as you tell you that you’re too short. look, i get the whole “i like feeling small” thing. i’ve had my fair share of shorter women in my limited sex life; i get it. but if it comes between wanting to have great chemistry with an average man or a really attractive guy you somewhat get along with, we know what most people instinctively choose. the only difference between men and women is that women have the options to hold out for the latter and men don’t.

it’s incredibly annoying when you see most “body positivity” is catered to (bigger) women yet short men still are begrudgingly reflected upon when it comes to dating. even without it, it’s not like “chubby chaser” is a new term.

fuck. obnoxious. height standards.

House-MDMA · 2022-08-12T04:58:06+00:00

I actually know a woman a very average woman ( overweight not fat, avg face) who wanted to be a stay at home wife not mom wife and ended up manipulating her simp husband into going for it only he doesn't make enough so he works 2 jobs so she doesn't have to and then she refuses to clean or cook nearly anything because that's sexist and also refuses to work outside because that's men's work. So she stays home refusing to cook, clean, and work but she pulled it off albeit ending up with the betaest beta to ever simp.and you'd think with all that free time she'd at least focus on her appearance but nope.

TheMedsPeds · 2022-08-12T01:09:21+00:00

My favorite is the shut in, gamer, Cheeto finger, incels with their pizza faces and part time jobs at Wal-mart who will starve or Mommy doesn’t microwave his nuggies who hype judge women’s look with a fine tooth comb and say things like “Margo Robbie isn’t that hot”

Of course real women aren’t hot when 99% of the “women” you jack off to are literal Japanese drawings with tits that defy physics.

What are the silliest/funniest/most ridiculous standards for traits in a partner that you've seen?

Needs to have a pulse. Pfffft, rookie level delusion. Why not ask her to marry you instead?

themetahumancrusader · 2022-08-12T02:49:30+00:00

My dad told me that my godmother (his female friend) dumped a guy because she didn’t like his shoes once

hatefulnoob · 2022-08-12T06:17:19+00:00

Well this is just me buuut

When a dude wants a certain amount of dates before having sex with that date. Like lets say 10 dates, one each week.

And

The girls who want guys with big dicks

2022-08-12T09:53:59+00:00

Probably my own.

I won't date a man who can't handle spicy food.

SeaTale5237 · 2022-08-12T16:49:33+00:00

i have one friend who will only date men who remind her of a rat she’s like obsessed with rat like men

EatMyAsssssssssssss · 2022-08-12T18:47:03+00:00

Fat, 5/10 face, 5”8 guy thinking he’s entitled to skinny with muscles, pretty and much younger women lmfaooo

Introduced himself by asking if I wanted a sugar daddy. On 30k son? Try again next life time 🤣

2022-08-12T07:53:14+00:00

Honestly just the astonishing amount of fat women who won’t date fat men

Beautiful-Top-7202 · 2022-08-12T12:44:53+00:00

One of the most ridiculous standards is literally in every single female Tinder bio.
A height of 185cm is in the 90th percentile.
89% of men are smaller than that.

TheRedPillRipper · 2022-08-11T23:20:06+00:00

6/6/6

8 inches taller

Height in general is a ridiculous standard. Primarily because all the factors in life where we as a society would need it, have been largely negated. That said presumably, it’s not that much of a barrier.

Godspeed and good luck!

truthfullyVivid · 2022-08-11T22:34:37+00:00

The guy that complained about finding out his girl had a threesome with her girl friend and a guy some time in the past 3-4 years when she was in college... but made him wait until they were together something like a few months before letting him fuck (maybe as much as 6? I truly can't remember. 6 is kind of long and I don't think it was that long, but at that point they had been together for 10 months so he'd at least been getting it for 4 months minimum. Ultimately, I'm too lazy to open another tab and look through my history).

I mean, he seemed like he at least thought of himself as emotionally invested in the relationship. If a woman stays with you that long without sex-- she likes you enough to be concerned about fucking it up. Women get horny, especially when they have a partner they are really into. They normally won't waste their time with a partner that they're not that into. Honestly, I think that guy is the cyclist jamming a stick into his own front spokes meme if he broke it off or jeopardized it-- because I think the chances were better that she actually really liked him and that's why he ended up waiting longer than he thought was reasonable. Lol, irony.

pop442 · 2022-08-12T01:07:50+00:00

A Black woman I used to work with told me she would only date me if I was dark skinned(like Akon level dark) and she was light skinned.

Fun_Push7168 · 2022-08-12T06:45:11+00:00

47f single mother of a 2yr old. Recently split with the overweight father who made less than her. ( Her millionaire)

Seeking <50 in shape millionaire with exceptional values.

2022-08-12T14:44:41+00:00

A soon to be doctor woman. Who wanted a man who made around half a million a year, same as what she believed she would make in the future

Barely-moral · 2022-08-11T22:41:43+00:00

I like Karen's goal. She could have to lose two 6s from her list of requirements if she wants to have a shot.

ARX7 · 2022-08-12T10:32:08+00:00

I like joe

DerekMorganBAU · 2022-08-12T12:24:23+00:00

Can’t date anyone that has my mothers name. Ran into that twice I’m sorry there’s a pure disgust factor that I can’t shake

ILickMetalCans · 2022-08-12T13:05:15+00:00

Don't hate on the dude for embracing his inner Tormund.

Derman0524 · 2022-08-12T13:37:33+00:00

$200K and stay at home? $200K isn’t enough now a days for 2 people in major expensive cities. That shit is purely bread by how someone is raised

2022-08-12T14:45:41+00:00

I've seen plenty of heavy women who go for men who are just... Never ever going to see them that way.

CompleteRetard69 · 2022-08-12T16:06:02+00:00

If Joe is already killing it with the ladies then his requirements don’t seem so”out of reach”.

ReferenceImpossible2 · 2022-08-12T18:27:30+00:00

I refuse to date any woman that’s not a ginger 😤

RoperTheRogue · 2022-08-12T19:48:27+00:00

Anything that even mentions your astrology sign.

In this modern age of social progressiveness and the push towards not have prejudice against someone based on unchangeable aspects, there are MANY people that are completely fine with basing a person's entire identity and personality around the day they were fucking born and deciding they are not worth dating, or even talking to because of it.

I had a girl try to tell me that astrology is a better method than psychology to determine who someone is and why they think the way they do. Like what??? Lol

When asked what my sign is, I always let them try to guess. Not a single person has ever gotten mine correct.

2022-08-12T19:56:38+00:00

Fat girls dissing fat men and only wanting guys with 6 pack

2022-08-15T17:19:38+00:00

My best friend wants a guy who owns his own place, without owning her house.
