Dating App profile annoyances
Jump to: Newest in thread
Ok so being newly single I thought I would dip my toe into the dating app world of Tinder bumble etc.
The things I have noticed that annoy me about women’s profiles is as follows
1 Group photos… when every photo of the profiler is in a group of people. I am not psychic how am I supposed to know which one is you(unless you’re the only fem in a group of men of course).
2 Snapchat filters…… really come on ladies they may amuse your 8 year old kids but I am 51, stop embarrassing yourselves and keep them for your kids.
3 Pictures of everything but you….. the amount of profiles that have pictures of flowers or beaches at sunset, but one of the profiler. Hey I am not adverse to a bit of landscape photography but I like to see a picture of the person taking it.
4 Blank profiles….. yes it happens there too. Call me old fashioned but I like to know a little about you before I take you out for dinner.
5 Only Fans recruiters……. Why would I pay only fans to look at naked pics. The internet world is full of free stuff. The usual give away is ‘I am not here much get me on my insta’
6 Honesty…. FFS just be honest about what you want and like. If you like a bit of kink say so, if your vegan say so. If you’re looking for another or first time husband say so.
Yes I know it is a dog eat dog world out there and to be honest I am probably too old school for dating apps. In my day you went to the pub saw someone you fancied bought them a drink, if you were lucky at the end of the night you got a snog and their phone number, and if you were really lucky you got a bunk up.
God it was much simpler then..
Ok ladies your chance to tell us what is shit about men on dating apps

That may be the case but his thread is about the ladies and how his experience of dating sites is affected by these observations  |

I don’t doubt that men are just as bad as the women. Unfortunately just like here the women are in the minority to the amount of men, and it is the I don’t have to make an effort as I get 100’s of likes a day mentality that bugs me.
If you don’t put the effort in don’t expect the effort back |

I (A) think it's a sign of the times we live in. It appears that as women have more choice online, despite there being a pretty even gender split in the UK, a particular profile "type" like the ones you have mentioned, tend to become commonplace.
Is it an attempt to out men who don't meet their standards?
Is it that they are just there to get "likes" and "follows" as that affirms to them that someone else other than their partner/themselves find them attractive?
Maybe it's boredom and they want to chat to men?
And obviously there is the case of onlywhatsit being so popular that of course their going to promote it everywhere sadly.....
I can't help but think that real world interaction and dating needs to come back in a sensible, mature and respectable way. That way guys with profiles that don't really attract women (think low effort bio, rubbish pictures), don't have to scroll through hundreds of female profiles that don't interest them (onlywhatsit, not here for a relationship, must have car, be 6ft, nice house, yada yada)
And it's important to note, dating apps can be dangerous for women, and men too, guards are going to be up when interacting with people. Couple this with today's attitude of "you can always trade up to a better model if you encounter a problem", instant need for gratification and the fact that dating sites want to make money, and to do that need to keep you on the site for as long as possible, no wonder the majority of people are burning out from them and thinking there rubbish!
You won't be finding us on one if we're unfortunate enough to become single again, thats for sure! |

Vicious circle though innit? 100's of likes a day don't equal anyone putting in effort on their side either  |

A picture of pampas grass on your profile might do the trick.

Speaking to the girls at work, or women ive met on dating apps, their biggest grievances with male profiles are:
Out of date pics
Photos holding fish
Photos with dr*gged tigers
Lying about their height
Lying about their age
Lying about being single
Photos of sports cars/motorbikes
Blurry selfies
Crude messages |

I've never understood why men think a pic of them holding a giant carp is going to get a woman as wet as said fish was?
There are far better ways to hook yourself a catch and reel someone in.
This plaice for example. It's far easier to net someone to handle your rod with a good line or two.

Ha ha - have seen the effect of a four legged friend on women when out with male friends that are not as physically blessed as you... So I don't doubt the pulling power of the pooch for a moment!  |

I borrowed my friend's dog for my dating app profile, I'd be lost without him, he gets most of my likes! |

Agree Op, especially the group photos and landscape or pictures of pets.
My biggest gripe is the sticking out the tongue picture, it looks so childish. I get the message they’re trying to send, but this 50 something woman looks like a juvenile teenager. |

The group photo one is easy, the least attractive one is always the profile owner...they're just using their good looking mates to lure you in.
I've never seen a woman have a photo of herself holding a fish though. Can't for the life of me understand why so many men think that's a good thing to put on their profile. |

People who fish successfully need to be determined observant with lots of patience perhaps this is the reason?

It amazes me how many people on dating sites like outdoor swimming and hiking....but always with a pub at the end. The one local landmark at the top of a hill is always photographed for dating profiles....been once, so can claim a healthy and outdoor lifestyle.
Comments that they don't want to see gym selfies....then the profile has pictures of...lycra squeezed body taken in JD Gym's changing room! |

I always swipe left on anyone called Karen 
Also
does anyone swipe left after looking at a happy smiling profile picture muttering under their breath “I’d make you miserable”.
Also
I’m not sure why I am on these apps anymore, I just swipe left for everybody after having an imaginary first date coffee with said profile where it doesn’t work out.
This may be a cry for help, I’ll have a think about it. |

What about the 100's of profile views and messages you get that you can't read until you subscribed.
Then they all melt like chocolate in the Sahara. False profiles and bait.
Then
You try to un subscribe and they make that as hard as they can and near impossible to do.
And. Even when you do.. They keep taking your money.
keep a close eye on statements, especially if its a debit card as they can keep taking the money, ir credit card as its almost a stealth theft. |

People who don’t live in the location they have on their profile. They’re actually another 2 hours away.
People who only have photos of them in sunglasses
People who have loads of pics of their kids - I love kids but it worries me that they’re so free and easy with them on dating apps
Pushy, wanting to meet up straight away rather than work out if we have anything worth meeting for! |

Totally agree with the location and sunglasses thing. Or the photo is taken from 300 yards away. |

Attraction is more than ticking criteria boxes, its not a job advert and you are not entitled to an interview because you think you are qualified |

1000% the part about people putting photos of their kids on dating apps. Very iffy.
But also - and I'm not sure which is worse - people using photos with other people's kids in them! Do they ask sister/cousin/friend whether they're happy with their child being used to get them laid? Fucking weird. |

Again attraction is not a formula with boxes to be ticked off
What you have decided is an unattractive partner is not universal. And people are attracted to all sorts of things , not just looks
They are also turned off by all sorts of things. For example , entitlement |

"When you a woman a polite introduction message, they still ignore or delete your message after they state they don't want someone to send them crude or filthy message as an intoduction
They're just not interested in you. Even after you meet their criteria on what they looking for???
Attraction is more than ticking criteria boxes, its not a job advert and you are not entitled to an interview because you think you are qualified well you said and yes there has to be some level of attraction but I've seen women with men that I wouldnt say were attractive physically, some men I've seen them with were fat and hairy but yet they doing stuff with good looking women so explain that if you can??

Yeah that's fine, I know I'm not gods give to women and I can take rejection easily without getting ignorant but the annoying thing is even when you feel you meet what women are looking for they ignore your your message. But kool I take that as a rejection but a rude one. |

Given up on dating apps. Got tired of everything being about money. "Someone solvent", or such. I get that for women in my age group it's about the whole package including the lifestyle and I can't offer what others can. Someone with just glamourous holiday photos on boats and beaches won't be interested in someone like me.
It's funny that I ended up being the romantic one... |

"The bio comment that really gets me is when people say "I'm not here for fun"
I mean, are you trying to tell me that this relationship is going to feel like work from the moment it starts?"
Ha
If you knew what happened when you innocently put that you’re a fun person, as a woman on a ‘normal’ dating site/app…you’d understand. At least penis pics aren’t as common now. |

Ah, it's seen as a code is it? Well, that explains that one. I'll stop thinking of them as stony faced and boring when they write that! |

"Ok so being newly single I thought I would dip my toe into the dating app world of Tinder bumble etc.
The things I have noticed that annoy me about women’s profiles is as follows
1 Group photos… when every photo of the profiler is in a group of people. I am not psychic how am I supposed to know which one is you(unless you’re the only fem in a group of men of course).
2 Snapchat filters…… really come on ladies they may amuse your 8 year old kids but I am 51, stop embarrassing yourselves and keep them for your kids.
3 Pictures of everything but you….. the amount of profiles that have pictures of flowers or beaches at sunset, but one of the profiler. Hey I am not adverse to a bit of landscape photography but I like to see a picture of the person taking it.
4 Blank profiles….. yes it happens there too. Call me old fashioned but I like to know a little about you before I take you out for dinner.
5 Only Fans recruiters……. Why would I pay only fans to look at naked pics. The internet world is full of free stuff. The usual give away is ‘I am not here much get me on my insta’
6 Honesty…. FFS just be honest about what you want and like. If you like a bit of kink say so, if your vegan say so. If you’re looking for another or first time husband say so.
Yes I know it is a dog eat dog world out there and to be honest I am probably too old school for dating apps. In my day you went to the pub saw someone you fancied bought them a drink, if you were lucky at the end of the night you got a snog and their phone number, and if you were really lucky you got a bunk up.
God it was much simpler then..
Ok ladies your chance to tell us what is shit about men on dating apps
Xxxxx"
Thank you, this is really useful as I try and compose a dating profile.

"At least you know your going to have to fight the dog for attention lol"
I've decided that because I'm 40 and above, I remember the world before the internet which means I have no reliance on the internet to live my life ( romantic, sexual or otherwise)
I've also decided that because I have a mental health condition, I don't need the headache of trying to decipher someone's dating profile. Fab is a bit easier for me: Will fuck based on profile yes or no. Will fuck based on messages? yes or no. Will fuck based on the ability to read my profile and follow my 3-step procedure? Yes or no.
3 yes job done. meet scheduled and face pics exchanged.
About 3 men and 2 couples have been able to do this since I re-activated my profile.
the rest I meet in the clubs/spa.
I basically don't care if they haven't put loads of effort into their profile on Fab.
I also found the most boring, uptight, and insecure men on dating sites. Not worth my time. At least Fab men are fun, less insecure and less uptight. |
