    I like a joint myself from time to time and sometimes keep a plant or two but yes advertising it probably isn't a good idea.

    I love injecting heroin at least once a day sometimes twice. But I'm not an addict. I'm a multi millionaire self made so I can fund my habit.

    People declaring how obsessed they are with their pets. No wonder your bloody single with that obsession.

    I could never go for that either. pets like dogs and cats shouldn't be allowed in a house, pet hair everywhere, disgusting. she would likely allow them on the couch, in the car, in the bed even.

    "Equal " is often a subjective term

    Probably anything really lazy would be the worst thing I think. Usually this would be linking to their Instagram and telling people to ping you on there.

    I'm assuming you need to follow them to message them?

    Its many years since I had an online dating profile but it wasn't anything like what's been mentioned. I just wrote about the things I liked such as books and films and music.

    I certainly don't think I had any rules regarding who should message me or not. Although there was something....I think it was along the lines of "if you are strange like me then send me a message". Or something.

    hah!

    Talk about proving the point. If you don’t even understand what the word means it’s definitely a pretty good way to weed people out.

    No, feminists don’t think men’s rights activists are sexist. I mean, wtf?

    The group photos are really annoying. A few people have the cop on to blur out their friends faces, but more often than not you're playing a game of where's wally. Photos with half the face cropped out is another one.

    I've seen explicitly written (once) "Don't contact me if you think men's rights should be fought for." Also (different person) "Don't message me if your favourite author list is a sausage fest." Granted, these were on okcupid where there is much more room to reveal yourself as an idiot.

    I love it when people on here are so single-mindedly blinded by the need to express their opinion that an obvious joke flies right over their heads.

    Put nothing on your profile as everyone seems to be annoyed or put off by something in a profile and don't bother with a photo as something about the photo will put someone off, however not putting any content on will annoy someone as well!

    How can it be so difficult, be honest about your age, intentions, and only put recent photos up its not that difficult.

    Only having "iceberg" photos on the profile is a serious 🚩

    In a world where freakin' cannibals can put ads online asking for volunteers that would rather like to be eaten and receive sincere replies, there is likely no amount of madness you could put on a profile that wouldn't appeal to somebody, somewhere. Then there is the fact that people lie online. With these factors in mind, I think a lot of the snooze inducing profiles, the ones that display banal predictable interests are actually designed to scream 'Normal' and to weed out 'weirdos,' (of which there are a lot). But then there's the fact that people lie online, so the profile that screams NORMAL was likely penned by a murderous psychopath.

    Or maybe I've been watching too many YT crime videos... 😀

    When I was in a dating site I told most women that I’m not into travelling really , that I hate airports and while I like going on holiday once a year to chill out in the sun that I am really kind of a home bird but I do love to travel around Ireland as I don’t think most people have seen enough of our own country .


    Youd think I’d rode most of their grannies by the reaction that got

    go way and shite , so many people think they are so interesting really

    No matter what you do it won't be good enough for most people. Imagine if people were this fussy before online dating.

    If people were as honest on dating platforms as they are on this site the whole thing would be a hell of a lot easier.

    Of course, the pool of potential matches would be a hell of a lot smaller too.

    Dating platforms, the list of traits, the pictures, the knowledge that there is someone else to consider immediately has led to incredibly particular users. How many real life, happy (or otherwise) couples do you know who like every feature about each other? But yet people rule out a potential match if a single thing they disagree with, or even how it is communicated is present.

    Putting in pictures of kids, but saying 'the kid is not mine' is that so hard to navigate around? Saying that their children are their world? Is that not reasonable when you are responsible for children? If they were you children and your former partner was saying 'I have kids but I don't let them hold me back' would you feel ok about it?

    The "my kids are my world" says to me, I used to have a life before I had kids, but I don't anymore.

    Translation: I'm insufferable & unstable. I've made really bad choices in life & take zero ownership for them. Men keep dumping me. I bring drama & chaos into your life and hate my father.

    On the 'fluent in sarcasm' thing, sarcasm gets far too much respect in our culture I think. Sarcasm is funny in small doses but is not a great form of comedy. I know a lot of my mates who pride themselves on their sarcasm but they lack the wit to actually make it funny.'
