What things put you off on dating profile pictures?

Im not referring to Fab but real dating sites.

For me its women who have:

The pouting lips pose ,

Hideous lip injections,

Pics showing an expensive taste lifestyle in either dress sense or holiday locations; skiing, snow boarding etc..

Snuggled up next to a dog,

Festival pictures ie Glastonbury,

Stupid Tick Tok poses and filtered photos.

I swipe left or hit the X button to all of the above.

Why would you find a woman enjoying an expensive lifestyle offputting?

You must be doing really well on the dating sites, as I honestly didn’t realise men could afford to be so choosy!

You’re 45, if you’re looking at women doing tik tok poses they’re probably too young for you

I've used the wrong word haven't I? It's not annoying, merely not my cup of tea.

I cant compete with expensive tastes, so no point even engaging conversation with them.

We all have our ‘thing(s)’ that we find distasteful.

But I think some of those things - depending on what they are of course - could say more about us and our own insecurities, than the person in the profile.

Messy backgrounds, pictures taken in filthy mirrors, clothes that look like they've been sprayed on, overly posey gym pics, fighting poses, if all their pictures are of them drinking lots of alcohol, pictures riding elephants or posing with chained up animals.

We’ll agree to disagree. Just because it’s online doesn’t make it a free for all. And a woman should never be referred to as a ‘hole’, irrespective of her state of dress ... or undress!

Have to say what i fear about dating sites is none of them look particularly safe. You feel in some way ur going to be scammed into losing a lot of money before you start n your computer banking will be in jeopardy.

After so long married n now single im so tempted only because all my adult life ive wished id met an Oriental Asian girl, as im overwhelmed by their beauty. They are not easy to meet up with socially so feel this may be a way for me to meet and find someone of my dreams. There again who'd want me hahaha.

Fucking filters! Especially the one with "cute" stamped multiple times across the face. Who you trying to kid? It's not cute, and the fact you feel the need to do that isn't cute either and screams "needy."

The dog ears and noses ones are fucking stupid too. Other than b&w, I've no time for filters.

Be yourself and show what you actually look like. Self-confidence is attractive x

West Wales and Cardiff

Photos taken on the top of Pen-y-Fan in The Beacons.

Nothing against the mountain (except it’s hideously busy), nothing against people being happy they’ve reached the top, nothing against the people themselves.

It’s the sheer number of photos of that bloomin cairn. It sometimes feels like it’s every third profile on sites if you’re looking in Wales.

It’s Pen-y-Fan, it’s a good old walk, but it’s not Everest

Pictures with filters. I only lasted a few days on tinder, but did manage 2 dates. Prefer the sites you dont need to swipe on looks only, and can go back to the profiles at a later date. The secret like on here is to show some respect when you try to make contact.

Kids in pictures is kinda messed up. I’ve come across a few profiles where it’s like 1 pic of her then 5-6 pics of just the kids. Not even her in it?

I feel like it’s naive innocence of like, these are my kids, they are my life, look at these pics kinda thing

But it always feels kinda odd having most of your dating profile be pictures of your kids

It was simply an observation. It did surprise me just how many had the same thing. Quite a few women did comment on how many men had photos with fish or a motorbike. I wonder if any posed holding a fish while sitting on a motorbike?

I enjoyed a couple of years on dating sites. I met some wonderful women.

"Lots of women had variations on this:

Like holidays abroad, city breaks, nights out, nights out. Motown.

And? What's wrong with wanting to do those things with someone? Men have those in their profiles too.

It was simply an observation. It did surprise me just how many had the same thing. Quite a few women did comment on how many men had photos with fish or a motorbike. I wonder if any posed holding a fish while sitting on a motorbike?

I enjoyed a couple of years on dating sites. I met some wonderful women."

It's a post about what annoys people so I assumed that's why you'd written it. I prefer profiles with a little more personality but then I avoid dating sites these days. I have never seen the motorbikes and fish combined yet!

So many things!

Wearing sunglasses indoors in a dark room

Kids in pictures

Photo stood next to flash car with a thumbs up

Holding a fish

Dirty backgrounds on photos

Groups of men and no sodding idea which one they are

Never realised I was so judgemental

I've got a thing for eyebrows.

Don't like them bushy, too thick, too thin, the messy look or even drawn on.

They need to be proportional to the size of the ladies face xx

not used dating sites

what puts us off meets is profiles without content, or obvious fake ones, just scroll on by...

people who try to send messages but clearly can't hold decent conversations, politeness costs nothing, bad manners get binned off straight away...

messy room photos or pictures that look kind of creepey, we don't need that in our lives

if that makes us judgemental, then so be it, we all have preferences and standards.

Really?? My dogs sleep on my bed all night and the cat on daughters bed! And both dogs are asleep right now on the sofa wouldn't expect them to sit on the floor anymore than I would want to sit on the floor myself! x"

. It’s your house your rules that’s your right which I respect.Me personally I wouldn’t feel comfortable sitting or laying on a sofa or bed that a dog has been on.As the OP Genuine Mike said it maybe a Greek thing.

It’s not easy, but the ones that are willing, make it happen.

I just chat, push fast for a number, then suggest drinks within the next day or 2

People that want to meet will. None of this “let’s get to know eachother a little more” stuff.

Lots of girls on apps use it as a tool for validation and a cure to boredom. You can quickly sort out whose who by just asking them out.

Hideous lip injections,

Pics showing an expensive taste lifestyle in either dress sense or holiday locations; skiing, snow boarding etc..

Snuggled up next to a dog,

Festival pictures ie Glastonbury,

Stupid Tick Tok poses and filtered photos.

I simply like intelligence in a man. So that’s judgemental and ignorant, in your view? It’s very interesting to me that you - and others - choose to skip the blatantly judgemental views on women here, and focus on mine.

Perhaps you feel threatened by intelligence in a woman. I don’t know or care, frankly.

I can't tell by a few sentences who I want to have a drink with and I don't have the time to meet lots of people to see if we have chemistry. I have to chat a while before even agreeing to a cup of tea together.

I made the mistake of meeting quickly for drinks, only to be groped under the table and be asked for a blow job in an alley, as he didn't actually accommodate, like he said he did.

If someone is really interested in me they will be happy to chat a while.

Lots of girls on apps use it as a tool for validation and a cure to boredom. You can quickly sort out whose who by just asking them out.

I can't tell by a few sentences who I want to have a drink with and I don't have the time to meet lots of people to see if we have chemistry. I have to chat a while before even agreeing to a cup of tea together.

I made the mistake of meeting quickly for drinks, only to be groped under the table and be asked for a blow job in an alley, as he didn't actually accommodate, like he said he did.

If someone is really interested in me they will be happy to chat a while.

That’s fair, everyone’s approach is different.

Do you think chatting longer really stops any of that? Creeps gonna creep, whether they gotta chat to you for 2 days or 2 weeks.

Plus I find it difficult to be really interested in someone over apps because everyone’s so different in person. I’ll know more about how compatible we are in a 30 minute coffee date than I will over a month of txting

The men just after a quick thrill get bored easily and look for an easier target.

I'm wary now of saying yes too quickly.

I feel the same. I don't like being rushed."

No one should ever feel pressured or rushed in these situations. Communication is key and so long as messages flow, it keeps the excitement flowing

"Men who are not very bright, and really just rather thick.

You are very judgemental, that shows ignorance in a person.

I simply like intelligence in a man. So that’s judgemental and ignorant, in your view? It’s very interesting to me that you - and others - choose to skip the blatantly judgemental views on women here, and focus on mine.

Perhaps you feel threatened by intelligence in a woman. I don’t know or care, frankly.

"

So presumptuous

She's allowed to have preferences. Isn't that what the thread is about?

That's stereotyping...

If I said all women are so and so I'd soon be getting whinged at

You really need to stop proving my point, and look up ‘stereotyping’ while you’re at it.

Now if I had said ‘all men are thick’, that would be entirely different.

I'm fully conversed in the meaning of Stereotyping thank you, no need to preach to the converted eh "

So why accuse me of doing it when I didn’t?

Demands put me right off.

"I want a man that does X or Y", soon as I see that, I scroll past.

Also, I've noticed on dating apps there is a LOT of bot accounts & scammers. I deleted a few dating apps because of it.
