FabSwingers.com forum: Dating Profile No Nos!

For the single pringles also on dating apps....what are your instant turn offs/pic no nos?

Can't deal with pics with kids in 'em.

Pics with parents a bit weird also.

Bios listing all the things you shouldn't be....stuck up/obsessed with social media/not gym fit just a few gems I've come across!

Really bad quality photos..like if ya either can't take a photo in focus or this blurry mess is your best side I'm out.

If by your 4th pic I still have no clue which one you are....

Ah I was on pof for a while and one night in work the conversation started about dating apps, two guys I work with can't understand why I single so I showed them the offerings and there answer stay single.

Between group pics ( and as above its never the hot guy) or 400 miles away from the camera, wearing sunglasses, or a nice car they had their pic taken with.

"Have a pic or you'll be deleted"... Says the pic less ones. The one word wonders too.. They start a conversation and it descends into mono syllablic tooth pulling exercise.

All of the above! And...

Wedding photos (I usually assume they are best man/groomsman but still)

Sport's team emblems as main picture

Pictures of couples when clearly stating single looking single

Can be good fun playing tinder bingo though - put all the dislikes on paper in a bingo card format, get your mates round (when it's safe to do so) & cast the app to the tv & a hilarious drinking game ensues

Was actually thinking about that recently. You've made a great point borne out of personal experience. It's not their preference that bothers you, but the way it was expressed. Says more about them then you dude and it doesn't deserve a moments thought!

When instead of their college/ profession they say "School of hard knocks" or "Job: have one"

"6'1 because apparently that matters" (as if men don't have 7,500 different physical preferences about women)

That car selfie that's taken from their lap and you can see up their nose

When they say they don't have a beard anymore but all their pics are with a beard... that's catfishing imo

"No drama" - just say you think women are irrational, saves us both time

"Fit & active seeking similar" - just say no fat chicks, you're not slick

"Overly competitive about: everything" time for therapy for you my friend

Full bio is in txtspk... don't even know HOW this is possible in 2021 because my phone corrects everything I type even if I'm intentionally using slang?? Just a very bizarre style choice for a 30+ yr old man

No pics, just all memes or "Only have one pic of myself haha " ... take some?

No pics all memes but they're those cringey BDSM ones... just have a normal profile and ask someone if they're kinky once you get chatting, it's 2021 you don't need to be in witness protection because you like rough sex

Single Dog ladies, no children- They expect a guy to be obedient as one of their dogs. Avoid completely if she has an affinity for some of the large and dangerous breeds. One wrong move while visiting at her place and her rothweiller or German shepherd babies will chew yer fuckin legs off.

Tally ho horsey types who still believes it's her devine right to chase defenseless foxes through the countryside on horseback of a Sunday morning. She usually drives a clapped out range rover and wears an well worn Barbour jacket and calls everyone darling in her posh home counties boarding school accent. She is probably living in an old damp gatehouse on an estate once owned by her ancestors our former colonial masters. She's still on the lookout for a solvent gent to fund her lavish lifestyle, but she is on the wrong side of fifty.

Another red flag on dating sites to avoid are- Pretentious arty farty types. On her profile she usually states she is a creative person working in the arts, in reality she's only ever had a small walk on part in her local community theatre group, or as an extra in Fair city. She probably knew a few people who are bonafide actors and artistic directors, who once invited her to a green room celebration until she drank way too much free booze and managed to embarrassed herself. During her only trip to Paris she visited the Louvre, and she has a few poorly executed acrylic paintings proudly hanging on her wall that she did on a Fas course ten years ago.

If you date her you will be forced to attend the next amateurish production of her local theatre group, and most likely die of boredom or hypothermia while waiting with bated breath for her ten seconds part. Arty farties,you just gotta luv em

Also things that annoy me is how its okay in this woke equal time for girls to say things that if guys said we would be total bastards.

What impresses me the most is casual picture, no need for glam night out picture. i'd be seeing the girl 95% of time not in a pub or club and a simple bio

Not knowing what the person looks like, whether that be through poor quality photos, group pics, filters etc.

Everyone is entitled to put their best foot forward, but it's not a place to be overly coy with simple information.

Being negative, i.e. listing all the traits you're not looking for.

Optimism is needed in this space!
