What are your redflags on dating apps that instantly make you swipe left?

Just about every resume I ever screened.

So we're ALL on the same page regarding tattoos, piercings, and smoking being incredibly unattractive deal breakers?Great.

Im 6'4", but the height requirement gets on my nerves.

It means she knows she needs a protector, because she's often getting in trouble whether it's with the law or with randos she thinks she can verbally "own" in any given bar or stadium or in traffic.

My wife loves smoking (casually) but I don’t see her as unattractive. However, if she had piercings and tattoos I would have not approached her.

Tattoos n piercings are fine if tasteful. Theres a threshold here though.

Ugly chicks who are clearly anti-Trump. Cannot understand why they are still hung up on a former president, and also go lengths to include it in a dating profile lol. Your life is that void of substance you need to mention former administrations lol?

List vaccine status in their profile. If you have it great, if you don't, great. Shouldn't even be a field to indicate your status because its transmissable either way. Wish they'd ditch it and add a "Herpes Yes/No" field. Much more useful info

Chicks who say their love language is "witty banter" or "sarcasm". Srs what kinda dumb traits are those? Sometimes silence is ok? I mean we don't need to talk constantly

Ok, at least with smoking you can forget about it when theyre not smoking.

My current girl has a few small tattoos and a nose piercing. I like them a lot and find them very attractive. I'm guessing that most of you don't like them because it's usually a sign that the girl is pretty liberal.

Good ones so far.

Maybe already said, but when their social media pics are too good with some cliche caption. Def have self-esteem issues so next.

If they're physically soft.

Girls that "travel" a lot and post about it.

Don't have any real interests besides basic upper-middle class consumption stuff (wine, netflix, foodie).

"Doesn't" cook.

Their mom looks basic or bad quality.

- Open toe dress shoes

- painted finger nails

- false eye lashes

- Drives an American car

- Doesn't like John Wick movies

Ha! So true. I dated this smoking hot chick in college, but I could never get past the fact that her mom aged incredibly poorly and looked terrible (not due to health issues).

A girl’s mom is the best indicator of how she will look when his hits that ripe old age. I kicked her to the curb, and found a fine young lady with a hot mom.

Height requirements

Kids (especially if the person whose profile you're reading is young)

Their pronouns

"I will never message first"

Their pictures are only of themselves, especially if they are all mirror selfies

Good look. Never given to red flags. Never.

Being a single mom.

Overweight, unfit, drinker, conceited, overvalued SMV, too many selfies in their profile.

Woman here. Red flags for women ate slightly different because we are also looking out for signs the guy might be potentially dangerous/shady. So:

- talking about sex very early on/asking for revealing photos/doesnt sprnd time on normal conversation or getting to know you

- vague about single status/ shows signs of being married eg wants to come round to your place when he vaguely knows you/doesnt want to be seen in public in a restaurant/wants to meet a long way from where he lives or go for a walk in a remote place

- nevrr married by 35/36 - likely commitment phobe or player

- kids by more than 1 woman

- more yhan 1 divorce

- physically unattractive - so many men let themselves deteriorate physically by not watching their diet/drinkibg too much/not exercising/bad skin, and dont realise how bad they look

- inability to hold a conversation other than about sex/dating/their ex/themselves

- lack of regular employment or works in profession where they meet lots of single women eg fitness trainer. Everyone i know who has dated one of them has veen cheated on and messed around

- feminine men or men who think theyre "sensitive" - theyre not, theyre players

- just general weirdness/lack of proper grown up social skills

- tells you how they dont like women to have degrees or be "too career focussed" - likely control freaks listing their reasons in advance to cheat on you if you show signs of "independence". Also wouldnt fit in with my friends becsuse we all either have degrees or run businesses, produce films, whatever.

- oh and with you'all on tattoos, smoking, piercings, vegan!

- talk about other women they know when you tell them abiut a particular achievement and try to make you feel less important

- history of, or close family member with internet bride

I'm gonna try Raya!

Wait? You haven't coupled up with someone yet? Shocking!

I've stated that I have a girlfriend now since I decided to commit to my main girl. Why do you make (false) assumptions? Just because i commented on a thread about a dating app doesn't mean im single. Work on yourself, buddy.

"Curvy", why not just say "obese"?

No I don't like them because theyre trashy and just objectively look bad. Like a bumper sticker on a nice sports car. It's like deliberately giving your otherwise good skin imperfections that stand out like a sore thumb.

The correlation between having them and being crazy, that's a whole other issue. But even if these girls who ruin their skin weren't typically crazy, I still wouldnt like it simply on the grounds that it just looks bad.
