The weird and bendy yoga poses in front of some random location, like the produce section at Whole Foods or the Lincoln Memorial. Wtf?
At least wear some tights and not your baggy sweatpants and a puffy L.L. Bean jacket.2 -

I heard men complain about this a lot (i definitely was not bending in any pics) but why is that annoying. I would think guys would find that appealing?0 -

This is some crap right here. All good for women to wear makeup to cover up the ugly, heels, lashes, nails, jewelry, tan, a hair blend of 6 different colours, have I missed anything? Like Women are almost not even a real person at that point.
But I'm not allowed Bear ears?!

Lol Does it make you feel better if I say women should never be allowed to post with Snapchat filters too?4 -
Women would slowly overtake your thread... we always do0

It's true. Women can tell when men are having a good time together without any female interference. So they show up and wreck the fun, as per usual.2 -
I kind of liked most of this stuff because it was the quickest way to weed through guys I didn't want to spend time speaking with, especially the kids comments and photos. Most of my brief time online dating was deleting & blocking the guys' messages about "if you got to know my kids you would love them" and "I think you should give this devoted single dad a chance".
Then I met my husband and honestly... his profile had too many photos and a bunch of really arrogant sounding comments and he's not arrogant at all.1 -
If the words “kids” or “grand kids” are used, I generally shy away. I realize that, at 50, that they are part of the equation, but if that is such a big part of your life you have nothing else to talk about, I’m probably going to pass.3

I've yet to take the plunge into online dating. I drafted a profile but never went through with it. Interesting comments on here though.0

- Repeated use of the phrase "NO HOOK UPS". No one (female) is going to put on their profile that they're looking for a hook up, so I know YOU aren't looking for one. The guys who are going to try to hook up are not going to be deterred by you putting that in your profile.
Truth right here. Nor do we believe you now. I know multiple women who have "no hookups" in their profile and just slept with the guy day 1 first date. I know of 3 women, one being one I dated wanted me to stay over first date.

Pics of your cars, motorcycles, trucks or the dead animals you have killed.
Men with Snapchat filters.
A list of demands.
Info about your ex in your profile.
Telling me you want to arm wrestle, have me sit on you, have me "help" you with another person, lying about your height/weight/job/drug use/smoking/basically any lies.
so we canNOT arm wrestle?0 -

Arm wrestling is a gateway drug.......
Gateway to poundtown!
OMG, I forgot about poundtown and online dating profiles. That's a definite faux pas. Don't mention it, ever.
I dunno why.. but this just made me single macklemores downtown song.0 -

Brad, it's a dating site not Instagram. You should be posting what you actually look like. So all those things you stated women get to do, they are actually walking around with. Have you developed a snapchat filter that works IRL?
And since I don't date women, my comment was specific to men. However, it's not a double standard, everything I just stated, stands true for women as well.
So women don't do all those things I've stated to beautify themselves up, take pics and put them on their dating profile? Because, they don't look like that until they do all that stuff. It creates a fake look for them.
Honestly I don't really see how that goes down though?
*scrolling through the profile*
"Haha funny profile"
"Oh he's cute actually"
"Cool, he has a great job!"
"This guy seems decent.."
"OH FFS BEAR EARS NOPE I'M OUT"
Online dating is silly.0
