sleeeeepie · 2021-01-06T05:58:26+00:00

“Actually 40 lol but can’t can’t change it” or some variant of this. Do they expect us to believe they accidentally wrote their age 5-10 years younger than they really are?? 😂

strcrssdvoyager · 2021-01-06T05:16:22+00:00

I've never used dating apps but I'm Facebook friends with a guy I went to middle school with and he sometimes takes pictures of himself holding money. ...you cashed a $300 check? Good for you? We all have jobs and make money too so I'm not sure what he's trying to flaunt.

So...Holding money in profile picture.

BasieSkanks · 2021-01-06T05:13:48+00:00

A picture with his middle finger up, or any other form of crude gesture. A bathroom selfie. Zero pics that show his teeth. Selfies from very bad angles.

EDIT: forgot one. If they say anything like “I’m 6’2 because that apparently that matters”, that’s a hard swipe. Height does matter to some women, and I don’t appreciate the passive aggressive shaming, even if they are 6’2.

vmuzondi · 2021-01-06T07:04:24+00:00

Empty bio
Pictures of cars
All pics with a hat on and sunglasses
“I’m actually (age) don’t know how to fix it”
“Looking for a date for (x event)”
🍃🌿🌱 emojis
“Here for a fun time not a long time”
Anime memes or any memes
All group photos
The dreaded fish pic
All car selfies
Obviously filtered selfies
Pictures with women who are clearly exes
Pics that look like they were taken on a Nokia 3000
Shirtless mirror selfies in bathroom or gym

MysteriousLife7 · 2021-01-06T07:29:20+00:00

"Up for some fun and adventures 😏"

No Jimmy, going over to have sex on your couch over some cheap beer is not an ~adventure~ and I'm not your ~cool girl~.

I genuinely want wholesome fun activities and literal outdoors adventures but why do these terms always must mean casual sex on OLD :(

Delilahh12345 · 2021-01-06T05:45:06+00:00

If he's looking for a woman who's "open-minded" or if his love language is "physical touch" he's definitely a scrote.

WingLate · 2021-01-06T06:18:31+00:00

-“Fluent in sarcasm” (read: I’m an asshole) -Children as props for their stupid photos (tacky af)

ManchurianCantaloupe · 2021-01-06T05:21:27+00:00

Mirror selfies of any kind.

Holding a fish or other dead animal.

"Quirky" patterned suits.

The Office references.

"Just ask haha"

Anything about pizza or pineapple on pizza.

"Funny" implied nudity pictures.

Photo of his (or anyone else's) car.

Picture on a motorcycle.

Photo of how many matches he allegedly has. (Seriously, what the fuck?)

"Thoughtfully" touching his chin pose.

Memes instead of an actual photo

Photos with ex-gf, hooters girl variant, siblings or children

Shirtless photos or mirror selfies

(And they say men are the visual creatures...scrotes are killing their chances at a single glance)

Melbournegeek · 2021-01-06T06:46:25+00:00

Whining or ranting in the profile.

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2021-01-06T06:27:52+00:00

The lip biting/licking 🤮🤮

Minute_Sign_9042 · 2021-01-06T06:38:34+00:00

What's the deal with tacos? It's been mentioned a few times. Is it some kind of code for something?

Yeah_hey_kittycat · 2021-01-06T08:21:10+00:00

Another one for me is one or even more than one super aggressive pictures of him holding guns and semi automatic assault guns... I’m like, dude... you know you’re trying to sell to WOMEN here right? Not your “bros”

tynike · 2021-01-06T08:31:09+00:00

“Add my Snapchat I don’t check my messages” peak laziness 😂😂

CatSweets · 2021-01-06T06:39:39+00:00

I'm out of OLD (hopefully, forever) but these are the most random things I used to roll my eyes at:

pictures in Macchu Picchu. I have NOTHING against the place, never visited, but I saw so many pictures of men there that it became a cliché
Also, on the topic of travels: men that put all those flags on the profile to show off how well traveled they are
Pictures with wild animals like tigers or lions (we know they're sedated and it's tacky)
Pictures showing off cars or motorcycles, especially iluxury brands - they're most likely rentals anyway
Those copy/paste PowerPoint presentation profiles
Group pictures. The guy posting them is always the ugliest one of the group 😆

binkabooo · 2021-01-06T08:13:16+00:00

Fluent in sarcasm

BlackWidow960 · 2021-01-06T08:24:18+00:00

The classy alcohol bottle and/or red solo cup
“I’m just looking for an FWB”
“dom looking for sub”
“I’m just lookin to chill with someone”
“not looking for anything serious but who knows I might change my mind”
any profile with no pictures of themselves
“just a couple looking for a third”

Yeah_hey_kittycat · 2021-01-06T08:34:59+00:00

Seriously WHY do the guys think it’s a great idea to show them partying with other women???? Do they honestly think some woman is going to be attracted to that? All that says to me is: womanizer, player, shallow, cheater.

KindredMaximus · 2021-01-06T05:47:48+00:00

Education : School of Hard Knocks (Aussie slang for ''I look down on education''

Wearing a wife beater ( aussie slang for bonds singlet - dark blue or white)

Sitting in car with dark sunglasses on

photos of cars

Fishing and camping - hard no

middle finger up or any rude gesture

in bed - nope

any question anzwered with 'nunya'' meaning none of your business

Spittens · 2021-01-06T05:54:32+00:00

No pics showing a face, but shirtless pics from the neck down centered on the you know what area, or ones where he's wearing pants but is grabbing it through them to 'showcase his size'.

Pics where his house is obviously an outdated dump, filthy, or dark (I once saw one where the guy had hung a towel over a window ..... )

Any mention of 'looking for my queen' 'looking for my ride or die chick' or any other ridiculous trope designed to suggest loyalty and respect without reciprocation to a woman.

Any mention of a body part/type preference.

Any mention of a kink, of any sort. This includes the one guy who said 'apparently my kink is trust and monogamy'.

Visible evidence of extensive tattoos or close up pics of just the tattoos.

Pics where he's obviously out partying. Depending on how much class he shows in it if there's only one.

The 'snazzy suit pics' where he's obviously putting on a show for the camera.

'I'm a nice guy but apparently you women don't want that!' or variations thereof.

Any kind of gang sign or I'm a badass pose ...

The pics from the top of some scenic overlook with arms out (So overplayed!).

I'll edit as more come to mind. It's been a while since I was on any dating apps.

Any mention of tacos.

SavvyInNYC · 2021-01-06T06:15:09+00:00

Pictures of children (especially if they don’t belong to him)

Any type of info/pic that is not listed due to “don’t want my coworkers to find me on a dating site!” but are “willing to text pics/whatever you want to know!” Youre not slick, dipshit.. we know you’re married.

Hunting pictures or any picture where they are holding a gun. (Side note: I’m not even personally opposed to guns but if I’m looking for possible men to meet from the internet, I don’t want anything to make me even think of violence while considering someone)

Any hint of being a Trumper/conservative.

fdsonlynoscrubs · 2021-01-06T06:23:13+00:00

I see you have mustaches already on your list, I would like to add all other facial hair aside from an acceptable well-groomed beard. Goatees and “flavor savors” just gross me out.

Immediate swipe left if I see a letter U to replace the word “you.” Spelling and grammar must be on point, unless English isn’t his first language (although still doesn’t excuse the lazy “U”)

If job and / or education is left blank

If education is listed as “school of life” or the equivalent

Profiles with only one photo

Photos with another woman, especially if she looks drunk

Empty profiles with photos only, but nothing written

Ironic / joke profiles

Curses in profile

Lies about age. Sometimes this takes additional sleuthing, but once I find out it’s an immediate swipe left. If it says age but then says “I’m really ## » still a lie

This disgusting emoji -> 😜

Most emojis in general. One might be acceptable, if it’s appropriately placed and doesn’t include a tongue.

Gourmay · 2021-01-06T10:17:10+00:00

"I don't like girls who________"

I've found with those profiles they could have all stopped at "I don't like girls", because they don't, get a dog instead.

"I probably swiped you on accident"

Classic negging.

Also for some reason I saw a disturbing amount of men mooning in front of the Eiffel tower last time I used OLD (is this a trend right now? I'm in the US); I'm from Paris, these people are exactly the kind of assholes who come to my city, act like they're on spring break and complain that we're all rude while yelling at our service people in English.

Diamond_fairy · 2021-01-06T07:57:49+00:00

I've never been on online dating services my whole life, but this thread is handbook material and makes me swing between chuckle and facepalm.

I frankly don't know how all of you can endure this shitstorm.

SamuelaTheThrifty · 2021-01-06T12:30:38+00:00

I once saw a bio that said “no criminal record” and “doesn’t live with mom.”

“No criminal record”=I’m abusive, I just haven’t been arrested for it yet or the charges were dropped

“Doesn’t live with mom”=great, the bare minimum

Oh and “spontaneous road trips” meanwhile he has three dogs and a horse. That just screams married. How can you go out of town spontaneously with four high-maintenance domesticated animals unless you have someone back home to care for them?

Any pictures with puppies or kittens. “Look at my soft side because I’m usually a jerk.”

2021-01-06T07:15:27+00:00

Mirror selfies at the gym
Photos taken near his car (this is very popular in my country. I think to men that's a status symbol?)
Profiles written in English (not our native language)
Flag emojis
No current photos

DeorisGrey · 2021-01-06T09:16:25+00:00

Shirtless gym pictures. Even if they do have muscle definition, that screams vanity and hook up culture to me.

Edit to add: drinking pictures, either at pubs or clubs. So your idea of fun is getting drunk every weekend? Pass.

purasangria · 2021-01-06T12:30:47+00:00

In addition to all these deal breakers mentioned, I'll add: -- A photo of him next to a supercar that he doesn't own. (No, posing next to a wealthy person's car does not make their wealth rub off on you, Sir.)

-- Wearing a hat in every photo (he's bald AF, and didn't want to admit it)

cosmicabstract · 2021-01-06T05:39:22+00:00

shirtless photos

winky/tongue faces

“dominant”

“my pet needs a mom”

obviously military/a cop

professional musicians

less than 3 good quality photos

no job listed (he probably doesn’t have one)

height not listed (he’s probably short)

I also never message first and only respond to messages that show the dude put in some effort to think up a unique convo starter. 🤷🏻‍♀️

BabyBlankieieieieie · 2021-01-06T06:35:01+00:00

Any man who says “I’m back on my bullshit”

azureangel35 · 2021-01-06T12:07:44+00:00

Mentioning feminism, disc golf or his income (Those who make money don't need to shout about it).

PhoenixRisingAsap · 2021-01-06T18:17:38+00:00

It’s funny how scrotes are the same everywhere. I’m in India and have seen literally all of these things mentioned in this thread, in online dating profiles here. Weird but not surprising. They’re all like boring copies of each other.

vagesta · 2021-01-06T07:11:04+00:00

Chubby/fat guys or “dad bods”: I’m not attracted to guys that’s don’t take care of themselves. I have a nice fit body and i expect him to have a nice body in return

Weed/smoking cigarettes/vaping/bongs: Smoking is gross and most smokers want a girl that smokes too. I’m not going to deal with their smelly pot or them pressuring to smoke it.

Pictures with alcohol/at a bar/night club: I don’t drink. A guy occasionally having a drink is okay but the fact that they have pictures of themselves drinking and not doing something else suggests that they drink frequently

Greasy skin/bad hygiene: If they look greasy/dirty in their photos they likely stink in person. I don’t want to go anywhere near teeth that are never brushed or smelly dick cheese

Pictures with other women It’s usually either low effort because they don’t want to bother taking a quality picture or it’s subtle negging. The women they have their arm around is what they will likely expect from you.

Little to no muscles/definition I’m fit and expect him to be fit too. I’m feminine therefore he should be masculine. It’s what I’m attracted to. It’s a preference.

Photos with kids I don’t want kids. Even if that’s not their kids they likely want kids if they’re posting photos with them. There are also men who will post with family members kids because they hope they’ll get more likes. I also don’t want to get into any baby mama drama. Plus the fact that they’re showing a child’s face on a dating website is off putting to me.

Begging for a ps5 No I’m not a pick me. Buy your own ps5.

Sagging their pants Just all around trashy. If you don’t wear your pants properly then either you’re unintelligent or don’t care. Both reasons are unattractive.

Wearing sunglasses/hat in all their photos Obviously hiding their real age or have issues with insecurity.

All photos are group photos I can’t tell which one you are. You’re obviously hiding something

If they don’t have at least one shirtless picture/full body picture: I’m simply not attracted to fat guys. If I can’t clearly see if you have a toned/flat stomach I’m swiping left.

Photo of them sitting on the hood of a car: If that’s their car then they clearly don’t care about scratching it so they’re probably not all that intelligent. If it’s someone else’s car then they’re an asshole.

Flipping off the camera Just trashy and odds are they have anger issues and don’t respect authority.

Grills/gold teeth/ face tattoos Just gross

Jordan’s/overpriced sneakers being a “sneaker head”: Bad with money/superficial/bad sense of fashion There are plenty of high end, durable, affordable, fashionable, practical shoes that can be bought. Especially in the men’s section of most stores.

Weebs/super into anime: Likely into some weird sexual fetishes and prefers 2d women. Seeking a pick me.

Bad lighting in all photos: Low effort

Gang signs/hand gestures: Trashy, likely abusive, has a criminal history or will have one in the near future

Mentions having kids or wanting kids some day: I don’t want kids and I definitely don’t want to be a step mother.

Low angled photos where you can see up their nose: Low effort or lack of self awareness

“Let’s grab a drink” Nopeee

“Let’s vibe” Low effort and most likely means friends with benefits/one night stands

“Self employed” Not employed

Tongue sticking out or side snarl face Gross

Super into watching football: I’m not into sports and don’t want to hear you yelling at the tv

“I’m actually x age not # age but I can’t change it”: Low effort or predator both are a no

Couples looking for a third Gross

Misogynistic/trashy music as their song Red flag

“Just got out of a toxic relationship” Red flag also probably has trust/control issues/victim mentality

“Up for anything”: They mean friends with benefits

Bad grooming/patchy beards/neck beards: Likely to have bad hygiene too

Holding wads of cash: Trashy

Looks stoned/high/drunk: Definitely an addict

Looks much older than they claim to be: Either doesn’t take care of themselves or predatory

Face masks in every picture/no pictures of themselves: Has a wife/girlfriend. Looking to cheat

EffectiveHoneydew422 · 2021-01-06T12:31:41+00:00

1 . front seat of car selfie 2. shirtless in any picture 3. bathroom selfie 4. ugly home decor or filthy house/bathroom 5.

warinmymind94 · 2021-01-06T07:12:33+00:00

Your list is on point. I'll add my swipe lefts:

Won't buy your Instagram or onlyfans/ calling women "insta whores"
Add me on snapchat
Just got out of a relationship
Hobbies are video games / dnd/ pokemon/ magic the gathering etc
unibrows / duck dynasty level facial hair (super scraggly beards)
"You pick me up / you take me out to hockey/dinner/park/ and you cook for me (ive seen a few write this in there bios they treat women like their atm)
Sarcasm / dark humor / jokes
Making jokes about how they're alone or undesirable
I need a plus one for an event

Edit: formatting for mobile, added no 10

Im 5'x sInCe hEiGhT matters (if he mentions height hes insecure)

wagonwheel_ · 2021-01-06T05:18:00+00:00

I find it strange how many profiles there are without info about job and education.

Like, why are you not telling me who you are?

Hard left.

kcookie94 · 2021-01-06T11:45:24+00:00

mirror pics
unkept facial hair
pictures from high school
“cannabis farmers”
anime
“here for a good time not a long time”
selfies from below (ie holding the camera under their face and looking down)
nose rings
using their “dad bod” as a justification for being unfit
bad teeth (you’re a grown man...get them fixed!)

threedotlove · 2021-01-06T06:12:34+00:00

- Tacos
- The Office/Letterkenny/Rick & Morty

- "My safeword is _____"

- Any super lame one-liner jokes like 'I can backup the Millenium Falcon without a backup camera'

- The majority of his pictures contain alcohol of some sort

- Shirtless flex pics

- Swipe right for the doggo

- No drama

- Weed (I used to hang out with a HUGE group of people who smoked & my ex smoked and you CANNOT tell me that shit is NOT addictive. They smoked it DAILY.)

- Smoking & Vaping

- Smug smirks (You see these a lot on guys who are good looking and know it).

- Anyone who mentions their height because 'supposedly it matters'. Fuck off, most of us don't care.

- Recently out of LTR

- Fishing or hunting photos. I LOOOVE to fish, but like....these types of photos are never good dating profile pics.

Twolipz_78 · 2021-01-06T14:20:23+00:00

Socks with any open toed footwear or just any open toed footwear in general unless fishing or near water, imo.
Tight pants.
Tan line on ring finger/ring on finger. “Married but lookin for fun” (or a third).

I’m mostly talking about irl since I refuse to do OLD anymore!

orangeboobert · 2021-01-06T15:04:18+00:00

I’ve literally read “looking for a therapist” like it was a cute joke 🙄

helppleasekk · 2021-01-06T19:24:47+00:00

A man with absolutely no muscle definition who for some reason took a shirtless selfie pic

BAHAHAHA that's the most hilarious thing to me, scrotes thinking anyone wants to see their untoned chests.

Hey ladies I know you are all impressed by my pale nipples but please keep an orderly line...

dahliaukifune · 2021-01-06T09:36:47+00:00

my very personal rule is that I’ll swipe left if I like the dog more than I like the owner, which is always. I agree with a lot of what’s already been said!

EfficientTackle · 2021-01-06T16:27:49+00:00

"looking for a partner in crime"

pineapple_typhoon · 2021-01-06T19:17:30+00:00

I agree with all of these.

The first that comes to mind that I would add to this list is photos with his mother. I have dated guys who were very close to their moms, and usually their moms just wound up being too involved. It makes me uncomfortable. I love my dad but it would never even cross my mind to use a photo with my dad on my dating profile.

veniphyl · 2021-01-06T10:18:30+00:00

😈🤪🥵 or most emojis for that matter

shopliftthepooty · 2021-01-06T11:03:56+00:00

He's wearing a hat in every pic to hide that he's bald/balding and yet they're worried that YOU are the catfish 🙄

ayaaababe · 2021-01-06T13:56:54+00:00

Selfies that are all the same, low resolution pictures or pictures that basically cut his head off ( maybe petty but cmon you have to put in some effort ), instagram model type pictures of guys that love themselves way too much, any mention of anything sexual in the description, describing themselves with only emojis, cringy weird facebook memes in between his pictures on tinder just whyy, putting the wrong age down, pictures of children, making weird passive aggressive demands in the description” instagram dolls please swipe left 👋🏻🙃”

PasDeTout · 2021-01-06T16:49:10+00:00

Naked torso pics. They are never good dudes.

TheSuspiciousChard · 2021-01-06T20:07:52+00:00

No insert random or derogatory descriptions of women, as if he’s ordering meat from the butcher

Has cigar in his mouth like he’s giving a blown job Poses with women, especially half dressed women Is holding fish My children will always come first bla bla bla bla (like why you gotta write that) No crazy women (fuck you scrote we know you’re the porn damaged bitch of capitalism here. Go sick a shovel up your ass. Don’t kink shame me ladies!) Anyone that messages me complimenting on my looks and only that

ApprehensiveAd5947 · 2021-01-06T22:04:34+00:00

A photo of them in a boxing ring.
They are in a suit, with their arm around a bride, she has (mostly) been cropped out.
They are in bed, and took a shirtless selfie.
'I'm an old fashioned man, looking for an old fashioned girl/female...'
'...prove me wrong!'
'Marvel or DC?!'
Gamer. Ethical non-monogamist. Devils advocate. Fluent in sarcasm. Aspiring x.

Ok_Satisfaction1911 · 2021-01-07T00:29:26+00:00

Really long rambling bio
No bio

Picky and proud💅

2021-01-06T17:23:45+00:00

Bad hat.

chocolatelustpile · 2021-01-06T21:04:20+00:00

Fedoras, the style statement of "nice guys" who haven't updated their wardrobes, play video games in their parents basements and want you to call them daddy. Hard pass.

2021-01-06T20:49:13+00:00

"I'm overly competitive about everything"
"Billy Bob invited you to start the chat"
Big Bang Theory fans
The phrase "ride or die" anywhere
