What are your no-no's with dating?

Grayson · 28-04-2018 03:08PM #1

I was just on bumble (for those that have never heard of it, it's kinda like tinder) and I've kinda developed an internal list of things that just make me swipe left.

Duck face. One is bad enough but when you have nothing but duckface photo's, that's just wrong.

Photo's with snapchat filters. If all you have is photo's of yourself with snapchat filters, then I just think you're a child masquerading as a grown up.

Photo's of your Dad. If you have a photo of yourself with your dad then a load of photo's of your dad, that's just going to give me the creeps.

No description on a dating site. This is more relevant for other dating sites. If you can't be bothered putting up a description then why would I be bothered asking for more information.

Girls who call themselves a princess or say they like to be spoiled. I don't think I even need to explain that.

So, guys and gals, what are your no-no's. (And it doesn't have to be from a dating site/app)

I've always paid (or offered to pay) for the meal when I am in the company of a lady- I think its the chivalrous thing to do.

Only selfies - means they've more than likely no personality and hobbies and high potential to be a narcissist. Nothing better than someone having a laugh in their pictures and looking like they'd be worth meeting up with. Bonus points for having at least something with a bit of thought put into it as a bio

Height or weight requirements. I'm not short and I'm in decent shape, but I don't want to date someone who is that shallow.

JohnnyFlash · 28-04-2018 03:25PM

If they have a cock, or once had a cock.

Selfies, while holding a struggling cat in the other hand.

I get that. I see profiles of girls who say only guys with beards or only guys who are over 6ft. Although I might have my own reasons for swiping left I wouldn't dream of putting them up there.

BTW: I currently have a beard and wouldn't dream of dating a girl who had that on her profile.

Of course. I mean I like girls who I can have a intelligent chat with, but I wouldn't dream of putting IQ limits on a dating ap.

Thank god I was using internet dating when the best cameras around was absolutely shocking by today's standards.

When she describes self as "curvy" I run a mile. Don't even have to run so fast either :pac:

No tattoos. Tattoos are for sailors and chinamen.

Well, people are allowed to want to date attractive people but I agree that restrictive parameters are a bit weird. I’ve found a wide range of menfolk attractive. As an example, generally in my singleton days, I preferred them not to be overweight but it wasn’t a hard and fast rule. I recall having a massive crush on a chubby guy.

Tell me how · 28-04-2018 04:16PM

????? or "Ask me" in the About Me section.

If you can't offer anything with respect to your interests, hobbies, personality, I'm not going to even try to get to know you.

Sanity, its funny how I used to over-look this issue, back in my days of dating.

I think what they meant was putting it into your profile. It's fine finding beards attractive but it's weird to state it explicitly in a profile.

MarkY91 · 28-04-2018 04:19PM

Women who's photos are only selfies. Ones that are almost identical.

Learning nothing from their profile.

Text talk and having **** all in their profile to read about them.... "Duno wat 2 rite txt us an ask xxxxxxx"...**** off.

It's obvious that most women I'd converse with when I was using dating sites would not read my profile and would be messaging multiple men at once. So it ends up being a generic conversation that leads to nothing.

You see that a lot on sites like POF. I wonder if guys put the same crap up.

It's perfectly OK to find short guys or overweight girls repellent. I'm just saying I find it repellent when either gender reminds the opposite gender of that.

Has to be a pic of at least head to hips..
So many women put pics up of just their face..... And there's too many 'pretty' women out there with emmmm well!? lets just say bigger bodies that their 'pretty' face would suggest!?!?

Picking their nose.

I'm right in front of you!!!

PirateShampoo · 28-04-2018 04:27PM

Only posts group photos, said group photos all contain the same people. I'm just going to assume your the fat one.

When on a actual date, I don't mind paying for a dinner but at least buy the first round.
