Dating apps can be daunting, but there’s nothing worse than coming across a cringy profile. Someone recently asked, “Men of Reddit on dating apps, what’s something you see on a woman’s profile that instantly turns you off?” and here are the top 23 answers.
I Don’t Contact First
“What!? Do they not understand how Bumble works?”
“I have a very distinct memory of the moment a Bumble date of mine learned women have to message first. From me. On our date. She was a unique kind of mortified.”
“You wouldn’t believe how common that is.”
Entertain Me
“Typically, these people are the dullest and most entitled people I’ve ever interacted with.”
“These are the same ones that have the “swipe left if you can’t hold a conversation” line in their profile. Then they’ll proceed to give one-word responses consistently. It’s lazy.”
“Translation: you have to entertain them because they can’t entertain themselves.”
If You Can’t Handle Me At My Worst, You Won’t Deserve Me At My Best
“If I can’t handle you at your worst, I don’t want you at your best.”
“I think they meant to write, “I’ll be toxic all the time, and give you a silver lining as a reward, by saying sorry once in a while.” Honest mistake.”
“Yeah, and being “at their worst” is the daily default.”
Fluent In Sarcasm
“By sarcasm, they mean they’re mean, but in a passive-aggressive way.”
“Virtually everyone is capable of some humorous sarcasm, but if it’s your defining characteristic, you’re almost definitely just a jerk.”
“She marketed her horrible personality as being ‘funny’. No thanks.”
I Hate Drama
“If you think about drama so much that you specifically state that you hate drama, you clearly LOVE drama.”
“They’re probably the biggest stirrer ever to exist; cause the drama and then cry about “Why does drama always follow me?” It’s like throwing a grenade and crying when the explosion happens.”
Confusing Photos
“There are five group photos, and they say, “I’m the one with the boobs.” Great. All 5 of you have them. Even if it’s obvious, group photos only are still a red flag.”
“You can’t just assume she’s the ugliest one, and if you’re okay with that, it’s a win because she’s actually the one hiding in the bushes, and you can only see her eyes.”
Don’t Talk To Me Unless…
“My issue is the mean tone of demands/ultimatums. If I can imagine you yelling at me before we’ve even met or spoken, I am passing. It’s 99% of all profiles I see.”
“Anything negative is dumb, really. It’s not so different from brand marketing.”
Education: School Of Hard Knocks
“Yes! Also, if they write “the streets” or “university of life.” It makes my skin crawl.”
“They are usually in poverty with no life skills or formal education.”
“Translation: they fight everyone and have a criminal record for assault and battery.”
I’m Not Here Often
“That’s literally a scam profile. Follow that rabbit hole, and you will be mailing apple gift cards to India.”
“Real girls do it too. The bots mimic real profiles. It’s like a reverse Turing Test; sometimes there is no difference between a bot and a human who just doesn’t care.”
My Kid Comes First
“I hope so! Stating it is usually a sign that their kid does not, in fact, come first, sadly.”
“Not only is that the bare minimum, but it’s also a minimum that they probably don’t even reach.”
You Better Be Able To Hold A Conversation
“Then my back hurts as I proceed to carry the whole conversation.”
“After I ask three questions without getting any substantial return conversation, I just unmatch them. It’s not worth my time if they can’t even bother to reply.”
I’ll Probably Delete This Profile
“Anyone who pretends they are too “cool” for dating sites. You are just like the rest of us, Diane. Get over yourself.”
“Justifying why you’re on Tinder with, “My friends made me.” How old are you?”
I’m Looking For A Joker To My Harley Quinn
“Sorry, but unless it’s for cosplay or Halloween, that tells me you’re rather dysfunctional in relationships and somehow thrive on it.”
“That screams immature to me; their relationship is textbook Stockholm syndrome.”
Instagram-pushy
“Any Instagram handle that screams, ‘I just want you to see my page and make me an influencer.’ I think half of Tinder is only that.”
“If their whole profile is just their Instagram handle, it’s an automatic left swipe.”
“I’m not on this app often/enough, so send me a dm on Instagram. That’s an instant no.”
Filters On Photos
“Thank you! I’m showing this to my roommate right now; she thinks men don’t know.”
“Oh, we know. Half the time, they look like characters from a video game, and the other half look like they smeared Vaseline on the camera lens.”
Height Requirements
“I’m tall, but any height requirement is an automatic swipe left for me. You know they’re going to be high drama, and I do not have time for that.”
“Funnily enough, they’re unintentionally doing a service to society. Imagine having to waste weeks before you find out how shallow and disgusting they are.”
Make Me Laugh
“Usually said by people with the personality of a wet napkin.”
“Here’s a screenshot of my bank account. It has 34 dollars. She didn’t reply!”
A List Of Things They Hate
“My first time, men loved my profile because it wasn’t filled with things I hated. It was just a breezy intro. After a few weeks on the dating app, I realized why girls create lists of things they hate or weren’t looking for. It’s to filter out the freaks.”
“If your bio is solely a list of things that are turn-offs for you, it’s not really saying a lot about yourself, and that’s going to put a lot of genuine men off.”
Anything About Vibes
“‘ Positive vibes only’ is so obvious and lame. One time I put ‘bad vibes only’, and no one thought I was funny. Like, who actually WANTS un-positive vibes anyway?”
“How about no vibes whatsoever? Void creatures only. My ideal date: we sit in the dark. If either one of us messages, our vibes are too strong, no date. We do not engage. No vibes. Only void. I like it.”
Financial Requirements
“One woman stated that she wouldn’t consider any man who makes less than 100K. There are more subtle ways to say: “I want someone ambitious, driven, and successful.” The way she phrased it made her look like a gold digger.”
“6 foot, 6 figure, 6 pack, and 6 inches. It’s quicker just to write ‘I’m shallow.'”
I Don’t Like Books
“I’m terrified that anyone would consider not liking books to be a big enough part of their personality that their potential partner should know!”
“I’m actually glad people do that; it weeds out the idiots. “Dumb and proud” is the worst attitude, like flaunting your intellectual incuriosity is a badge of honor. I don’t get it.”
I’m Looking For A Man, Not A Boy
“Roughly translates to, “Please pay for all of my bills as soon as possible because I don’t want to keep working like I am now.” They usually have 20 kids and are religious.”
“I got through high school, and university and now have a full-time job. I still feel like a boy!”
Looking For Some Fun
“They note their husband/partner is currently on deployment, and they’re “looking for some fun” in the meantime. Definitely a no.”
“That is the last thing you want; some huge Navy SEAL hunting you in a couple of months.”
“The women that are so nonchalant about cheating make me so uncomfortable.”
I Need A Man Who Can Support My Lifestyle
“I wouldn’t hate the sugar daddy thing if the woman just admits she’s providing something in exchange for goods and services, but when they try to act like it’s something else, stop it!”
“Basically, swipe right if you’re rich and generous and have no moral standards.”
Poor English
“Bad spelling and grammar are a red flag; you don’t have to be a literary scholar or anything. Just a basic handle on your first language will suffice.”
“To me, it screams, ‘I’m lazy and incapable of appreciating details.’ Sorry miss, but this Mario is checking the next castle.”
