Pictures with kids, idc if it’s your niece/nephew! Also I’ve come across a lot of OLD profiles where the guy is sticking his middle finger up. Idk why guys think that’s attractive it’s just trashy imo

boiledgatorade_ · 2020-03-26T04:32:57+00:00

If the word “vibe” is anywhere On their profile

Kekekeke7777 · 2020-03-26T03:50:54+00:00

Shitty profile song

Alexamaria · 2020-03-26T03:26:10+00:00

If I don’t find him attractive, if he talks about drinking in his profile too much, if he says he smokes weed, if he has a gym selfie, if he has a pic with another girl.

Shearay752 · 2020-03-26T03:49:37+00:00

They’re wearing sunglasses and/or hats in all of their pictures

PharmacyThumbprint · 2020-03-26T03:21:53+00:00

Well beyond college years, but totally decked out in fraternity paraphernalia.

sadlibrarian · 2020-03-26T09:19:16+00:00

No bio. Come on man, if you can't write a few sentences, I'm not interested.

Saitschik · 2020-03-26T11:42:14+00:00

photos of them as children. Why would someone upload this on a dating site? Just weird.
Caption stating what they don't want/ aggressive caption
Everything in the caption belittling women, including dumb jokes
Hiking pictures or pics in the gym
unattractive
looking for "something casual"

2020-03-26T15:15:11+00:00

Being a pickme. I had an ex once who outright told me that if I ever cheated on him, he would stay. Uggghhh. Please please learn to respect yourself, go to therapy if you require it.
Not between 20-25.
All pictures are masked in any way to hide their face (camera angle, hair, glasses, hat).
Pictures largely exaggerating muscles, abs or money. Most shirtless photos included.
Uncreative pick up lines. I always see something I’ve already seen on reddit.
No photo or only one.
No description.
Smoking and hard drugs.
Looks unkempt or doesn’t dress well.
Any sentence about him not initiating conversation first.
Pictures of his dog.
Being unable to relate his interests/bio to mine
That stupid ass “stoner” personality. So boring. Weed is not a personality.
Almost anything with the word “casual” in it. Sex isn’t a personality either, harold.
Unmatch if they suggest drink dates, ‘cuddle’ dates, or anything similar. I had a 25 year old keep telling me about how excited he was to ‘cuddle’ me and told me to come over his house shortly after starting the conversation. That shit was so creepy, like please get married bro LMFAO you’re 30 soon.
Any indication of poor emotional intelligence.
Hesitates on meeting in a public spot.
“aha x” I SWEAR I have never heard anything interesting or good come from these types of people.
Unmatch if they have no ambition

(including ones I haven’t listed which I can’t currently think of).

I acknowledge my standards are high and some quite specific but I think for the love and for the person i am and have to offer, they are fair. This is what I followed to get in a healthy relationship.

moosecakies · 2020-03-26T05:22:00+00:00

The biggest ones that get me:

What I’m looking for: ‘don’t know yet’ ( TF ?! You’re 38!!! 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️)

What I’m looking for: ‘casual relationship’ (WTF?! You’re 39 !!!!)

‘Wants kids some day’ (TF?! You’re 41 !!!! Your sperm is OLD!!! 😳🤮🙄🤦🏻‍♀️)

‘Has kids and doesn’t want more’ (Baby mama drama no thanks. Oh, and you’re balding! )

No employment listed (on purpose)

No height listed (well obviously because you’re below 6’ and you’re insecurity is showing loser)

‘Let’s grab a drink’ , ‘let’s go hiking’ (GTFO no thanks ! )

IloveKoreanfoodyaaas · 2020-03-26T12:46:40+00:00

For me, firstly it’s photos that indicate that’s I’m not their type i.e a lot of photos with and groups of people who don’t look like me. Black women will know what I‘m taking about.

Also one of two extremes: either seems very flashy with a high paying job and seems very conceited with a lot of photos with him with expensive items or with shades on etc. seeming quite into himself...OR seems broke, every photo is in a bathroom or something, he’s wearing sports clothes in every photo, has a lot of tattoos, looks like a felon. For some reason there seem to be a lot of extremes on these Apps and many men fall into either extreme.

...also men who state what type of women they’re looking for and it contains some kind of a pejorative assumption. I remember once a man put ‘independent women only‘ in his profile. I hadnt noticed it until we matched and started talking and I asked him about it. He then proceeded to tell me it meant he wants a girl that has her own stuff going on and for whom the relationship is not the be all and end all. Translation: I don’t want a girl that’s expecting a lot from me.

smg222888 · 2020-03-26T17:16:35+00:00

Anything hostile towards women

“If we match then you better meet me in person”

“No i won’t follow your Instagram!”

“If we meet and you don’t look like your picture you’re buying me drinks until you do!”

Evil_Rao · 2020-03-26T13:01:39+00:00

- Emoji bios
- Wears sunglasses in all pictures
- Unkept beard/hair
- Too many gym selfies
- Shirtless bathroom pics
- Pictures with kids (unless profile specifies they're not his)
- Pictures holding baby lions/tigers who are obviously doped
- No description or generic one liners
- Pictures holding guns, knives etc
- Has a list of things he's looking for in a girl
- Says he "wants something casual but could develop into a relationship later"
- "Whoever matches last has to send the first message" uhh no thanks buddy
- No job listed or says he's an "enterpreneur" (aka unemployed)
- Alcohol bottles showing in multiple pictures
- Smokes cigarettes or makes sure to let you know he's 420 friendly (I like to smoke weed sometimes too but I don't make it into a whole lifestyle)
- Copypasta profile text

AyemHerself · 2020-03-26T17:12:24+00:00

Mention of having had a rough life, "been to hell and back," etc.

It's a cry for attention and desire to be coddled. Expect lots of baggage and drama. Everyone's had it rough at one time, but you can deal with your past without expecting a pity party from strangers.

Also this is a sentiment frequently expressed by active addicts. You don't need that in your life.

AfraidofFollowers · 2020-03-26T04:09:23+00:00

If they don’t write anything or if they just have those little check boxes. They make it so easy to swipe left.

boundariesabound · 2020-03-26T13:21:33+00:00

“My love language is~physical touch~”

NOPE

2020-03-26T15:44:25+00:00

How about this one “Here for a good time not a long time”🤢

endorphins_ · 2020-03-26T16:40:44+00:00

Using the terms "alpha" and "beta"

FuckinGandalfManWoah · 2020-03-26T10:38:49+00:00

When he hardly writes a line about himself but has loads to say about what type of woman he's looking for.
When he writes multiple times about "looking for a beautiful sexy girl" all over his profile.
No profile info at all. Only one picture.
Any statement along the lines of "intelligent conversation is important to me." Like he assumed women can't provide that by default and he's lookig for a rare beast.
Other women. Why? I have never understood why they do this? To make you ask who she is so he can get an ego rush from your jealousy? I just dismiss off the bat.
Sweaty club pics. Pics where he obviously thinks he looks like a player (flash car, multiple women crowded round etc.).
Misogyny red flags "looking for a good girl, who knows her worth"
No hobbies to speak of, especially after a few messages. If he has nothing to say about himself when asked he's either boooorrrriiiiinnnnng or thinking he can put in minimum effort until you start talking about what he's interested in (sex).
Any display of fetish, or open hints about what he likes in bed. Not on your profile dude! People like that no doubt oveshare personal info in all areas of life.

babybellenotcheese · 2020-03-26T12:29:10+00:00

In addition to ALL of the above...

When they specify that their ideal woman is “sexy, sexual, intimate, enjoys physical touch, knows how to take control, open to trying new kink...”

When their seeking age range is 20-30 years below theirs AND they won’t date anyone who is less than 10 years younger than they are.

MomsSpecialFriend · 2020-03-26T12:52:45+00:00

I really like your list. Some of those are major pet peeves (other women.. why? I assume it is “I met this hot girl once and I want you to know this is my goal, an out-of-my-league cheerleader or car show girl)

Here is more of my list:

If he can’t even put his job title, he doesn’t have one. Men who have never had another human take their photo. Men with fish. (I fish, but I also have a personality) Men who have really intense hobbies that I don’t care about. (Sprint car racing?? No.) Men that look bi or their profiles are ambiguous They talk about drinking (why are most men alcoholics??!!) They give a list of things they want, not things they offer

Also I pay close attention to what men’s homes and lives look like in the background of photos. I try to give context in my own photos so people will understand that I have standards. Anything that implies a trailer or roommates gets a left swipe.

Also I don’t want men with children even though I have my own. That is my choice and I won’t split my time and attention from my kids for anyone else’s.

dos-ay · 2020-03-26T15:52:48+00:00

It seems to be a 'thing' in my area for men to have pictures holding up a fish they caught, and it honestly turns me off so much.

ShieldMaidenLagertha · 2020-03-26T05:39:41+00:00

Photos with drinks in hand
Broken family photos (Ex (?)wifey and junior in pic)
Marathon photo (esp when clearly out of shape)
Tailgating photo

bitch_not_it · 2020-03-26T07:28:08+00:00

The first two pics are group pics without any kind of indication which one he is, that’s a hard fast left, even though there’s a lot more pics. Either he’s a dipshit playing games or he’s got the mind of a literal child and doesn’t have any kind of critical thinking or empathic reasoning

Or any holding up a fish just because I feel like that’s a kind of comical lack of self awareness that’s just too much for me

.. in addition to EVERY single one you listed lol. It’s astonishing how basic and low effort they are, you’d think they all took the exact same class on it

wootykins · 2020-03-26T18:20:18+00:00

When they say they’re a single dad or have pictures with their own kids

catkalt · 2020-03-26T13:41:08+00:00

• photos of him holding up fish • any shirtless bathroom pics • clearly not hygienic (greasy hair, stuff in their teeth) • “here for a good time, not a long time”

DinkyDoo531 · 2020-03-26T13:58:18+00:00

If they look dirty

If they have any type of sexual memes on their profile

Most of their pictures are in a club or some type of party with alcohol

They look high in most their pics with the fuckboi look on their face lol

Hot-apricot · 2020-03-26T07:13:01+00:00

Anything negative or self-deprecating in his profile, even if it’s in a joke. Because I automatically assume it’s true and that he has issues.

2020-03-26T18:09:21+00:00

A lot of great answers, I'd add — when all his photos are selfies.

Like I get it, maybe you don't have friends or you think it's weird to ask your friends to take pictures. But come on, be creative.

Refusal to use any pictures but selfies can also mean he is ugly and knows it, so he literally needs 40 selfies to pick a good one.

riseaboveagain · 2020-03-26T16:43:16+00:00

Any emojis at all = immature, and not caring at all about making an effort to make a good first impression. Use your words, men!

Sewud · 2020-03-26T07:20:24+00:00

Anything that's a selfie.

Hat.

Vulgarity.

Imatworkmotherfucker · 2020-03-26T21:54:30+00:00

Hats in every photo, you never see teeth in any smiling photos.

jackrusselterror1 · 2020-03-27T03:43:08+00:00

Unattractive
Only has pictures with a hat/sunglasses. He's bald until proven otherwise.
Beards. I've never seen facial hair that I actually like, and beards hide the jawline.
only has group pictures. He's always the ugliest guy in the group.
Pictures with kids.
Only high school education.
Hunting pictures. Pictures with guns. Fishing pictures. Truck with American flag attached picture. Why do you have to be a stereotype, Toby? This guy is usually overcompensating for his height or small dick with his truck. You can tell how small he is by the size of the tires and if its lifted. This guy works in a blue-collar job, says "Thanks, Obama" unironically, and is so white he thinks miracle whip is spicy. He loves country music, beer, God, and his country. He is half the men in my area.
Cargo shorts + ironic t-shirt. Guarentee that's the only outfit he owns. Same with polo shirt + khakis guy.

2020-03-27T01:19:44+00:00

MAGA
Racist/Sexist Shit
Fat
Gamers
Anime Obsession
Asks for a Virgin
Christian
Anything Remotely Right-Wing

MommaGypsy · 2020-03-26T06:10:30+00:00

Seeing them say Anything negative about relationships. Like: "looking for someone who isn't into Drama". Fool, You probably are the reason for the drama in the first place and need to grow TF up. 🙄

MommaGypsy · 2020-03-26T06:28:28+00:00

Another GEM... You're over 30 and have Lil' as part of your name.
