    Hey or hi one word intros on bumble.
    The above intro coupled with no info on the bio
    Profiles with no pictures, I mean what's the point.
    +1 million on the head only pics.

    Also, every second profile seems to a picture from a swing in the same fcuking venue. Where is this magical must have dating photo swing?!

    Ugh, meant to not reply to my own post.

    Sophies. Took over from the giant silver chair in the Wright venue a few years ago.

    That's hilariously cringey, do many lads actually say that?

    In addition to the stuff mentioned already
    Machu Picchu photos were a no no for me when I was on Tinder. Every girl had them and boasted about their love of travel. As if treading the same steps as countless millions of others made them special. I doubt 1 in 10 could tell you the first thing about the Incas.

    I'd rather that than the ones posting photos of their week in magaluf. What's wrong with travelling and posting photos of exotic places? Magaluf etc doesn't count.

    Shock horror. Different people have different opinions.

    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.

    Thing is that the likes of Tinder and Bumble is pretty much based on looks.


    Mine would be:
    Rugby jersey
    All group photos
    Gym pics with snapchat overlaid text
    Mad eyebrows
    Lots of holiday photos
    Motivational/funny pics as profile pics

    Anything else is fair game basically.

    Shock horror why? Nothing wrong with MP, I think people just see it as kind of "Look how great I am I've been to X" sometimes. Everyone has been everywhere these days so who cares.

    "No pic no reply" on a profile with no photo of themselves.

    Oh well. Perhaps I'll meet a like-minded chap in Bilbao.

    More than a few! I saw one profile that took it to an extreme- I’m paraphrasing now but essentially was “missing: my princess and light of my life. Looks like: brunette, dark eyes, big smile. Likes: dancing, intense man, laughing. If found, please contact me”

    Eva Green came up to me once and said: "Pac1Man, I want you now". We kissed passionately and as my hands and eyes started to wander south, I saw the telltale glint of red under her black top and instantly knew it was going to be a wild night.

    As calmly as I could with my hands trembling, I began to unbutton her top. I got to the last two buttons but to my horror, that red glint revealed itself to be a Munster jersey.

    Cursing my luck once again I sat back and said, "Eva you're a lovely girl but I'm going to say the same thing I said to Scarlett Johansson last week. Rugby jerseys are one of my deal breakers so we're going to have to call it a day".

    So rugby jerseys would be my bugbear too.

    Well there's so much choice out there with internet dating, and rugby kind of annoys me, so I may as well skip the girls into rugby, that's the beauty of internet dating, and probably it's biggest flaw too, too much choice!

    And I'm the biggest cynic in the world but I met someone recently from Bumble and it just feels so natural and easy for a change. It's so hit and miss though!

    When I see a load of rugby photo's I do think "if I date this girl am I going to be doing this every weekend in rugby season"?

    And the horrible D4 accent goes hand in hand with women who like rugby!

    There’s a strangely high number of women with pictures on horses and for some reason I swipe past these ones every time

    Christ I'm glad I met my missus the good old fashioned way.
    I was renting out a room in my apartment in Sydney. She moved in with her mate. After a few too many beers we shifted in a smelly kip of an irish bar at about 4 in the morning then we shared a bag of chips an hour later. The rest is history.
    You young people will never know romance like that.

    There are girls online with almost every undesirable trait imaginable and they still get plenty of attention. So I’m not convinced that there’s too many men out there with standards like ‘I’d never date a girl wearing a rugby jersey’, when they don’t even seem to be applying a basic standard of ‘I’d never date a drug using, single mother with borderline personality disorder’

    at the moment a friend of mine is balls deep in all this internet dating malarkey. Every time you look at him hes either swiping or on pof.

    Im convinced its done him serious harm, as when we are on a night out if we're talking to a group of girls he turtles up completley.

    He was never like this before he got into the online dating.

    I believe online dating can do serious harm to a persons social skills.

    Some of us are good looking enough to be choosy. Having your sh*t together and no baggage helps too.

    If, instead of simply using the word dog, they use the term "d*ggo". :mad::mad:
    I have genuinely swiped left solely for that reason and will do so again.

    *even typing it rises my blood pressure, hence the asterisk.

    Oh another thing I don’t like is endless photos of themselves dressed like Mary Robinson at weddings.

    It really doesn't. I've been going to matches for donkeys years and the stereotypical D4 contingent, both male and female, is miniscule.

    Also, what about Connacht/Munster/Ulster fans? Do they all have this "horrible D4 accent?"

    Yeah, D4 seems to be all over Ireland, especially with women.
