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

I dated a vegan and I hated that aspect of it. When I stayed over I had to eat fake butter, avocados and weird spreads. I gave it a go so as not to offend but eating like that for a while, e.g. over the course of a weekend actually made me feel a bit unwell. I think that was more to do with the fact the calories were too low rather than anything else but I missed my normal foods.

Also, when we went out for a meal and I had beef I felt insanely guilty and then weird when we kissed.

That sounds awful. I never even considered how awful it would have to be to be forced to live like that because I kind of forget that vegans exist. If I were in a relationship with a vegan I would not change my lifestyle for them at all. They're the weird ones, they should be the ones to compromise.

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.

Do you think your standards of beauty are "correct"? Like if other people like tattoos or piercings, they are wrong? I've been in too many objectivity vs subjectivity debates but physical beauty would have to be one of the silliest subjects to do it with. Usually it's about Star Wars movies lol.

I quite like navel piercings on women, but I find all others unattractive. Small tattoos can be OK, but I think it's very rare they enhance attractiveness. I think it's unattractive for skin color to vary (tan lines are unattractive, vitiligo is unattractive, patches of flaky skin, cellulite, rashes etc. are unattractive - why would a tattoo be any different?). I don't know if that's objective, but I think it might be.

You're on to something there. Research has shown that a key component of what defines attractiveness is an even skin tone. Doesnt matter if youre white, black, or green, this universally makes you attractive.

Which is why camera filters, makeup, animation, etc. all work to achieve this.

And im not talking about vitiligo, revitiligo, or tan lines. I'm talking about the normal variance in skin tone that everyone has, particularly in their face since that's what we pay most attention to.

And come on. Psychology? Dyed hair? Any tattoos? Assuming you're dating under 40, so many of you are ruling out such vast swaths of the population on such surface-level, presumptuous grounds that it's amazing you can find any dates at all. But I guess that's better than swiping right on those women and subjecting them to your bad personalities.

This place has become a right wing cesspool. Donald Trump rotted the brains of millions in this country and this place is a clear example of that. We are so totally fvcked as a nation.

Oozma, throwing around subjective and objective when you clearly don’t understand the concept does nothing but discredit you in the large amounts of arguments you make on here.

I seriously can’t tell if you’re trolling or not but I hope you are for your own sake.

Beauty is one of the most subjective things on the planet.

I personally think tattoos and some piercings can look really pretty on a girl. I don’t like arm sleeves or anything like that, but I’m not one to say that makes you objectively less attractive, cause it’s not true.

There are certainly objective measures of human beauty, though it's far more subconscious than the trivial, petty preferences being hashed out here. No surprise there. There have been scientific studies into what we humans almost uniformly consider beauty, some of that is innate signaling and some of that has been informed by media programming. Coming full circle on this, the preference around tattoos or other modifications is purely driven by media messaging like advertising, and is rooted in provoking fear.

Tattoos & Piercings 99% of the time, only a few have ever been an exception to me

Other dudes in the picture(s)

Gold digger traits (wine, expensive clothes)

Single Mom/No degree/Hair Stylists (one frequent typology)

I have to be especially careful with gold diggers because my income puts me in the top 5% of people my age.

My main questions are:

* Do you enjoy trail running, biking, swimming and/or nordic skiing?

* Can you have fun at home?

* Are you passionate about SE Asian Cuisine (because I am good with a wok)

* Are you educated from a respectable institution? (UTexas and other southern schools dont count)

* Are you on your way career wise?

* Could you function fine independently?

If yes to most or all of these questions, females of LRC, hit me up.

There are common grounds on what most humans consider beautiful, but that doesn’t make it by definition objective. For the most part, a person (female) with wide hips, (male) wide shoulders; healthy BMI, and a symmetrical face is going to be viewed as attractive by most, but this doesn’t necessarily make it objective. A minority of people seem to find greater attraction to those that don’t fit this mold, whether it be more attracted to overweight women, underweight women, not conventionally beautiful women etc. For that reason I don’t think it makes sense that beauty is objective.

Also simply because beauty is an opinion and opinion can never be objective.

Anyone who notes their interest in "The Office" as a defining personality trait. Why is this so common?

Then you objectively have bad taste. Permanent scribbling on your skin can only detract from one's beauty. 99% of people can attest to this.

You have grown so accustomed to woke echochambers that the moment you step outside into a setting where you encounter views different from your own you label that place a rightwing cesspool.

Who are you to tell others what they should find attractive or repulsive?

We start looking at past All-American and d1 conference lists and those are the types pf gals that did mate with me. Devoted to their studies and strong training regimens. The time and place for these women didnt pan out for me or them. Sure is hard to replace them out in the "real world".

Thanks for your thoughts though and sorry if you went to Texas (eww).

Yup, like moths to a flame. Oh it's clearly a projection ploy, it's safer to rigidly reject trivial quirks than have to deal with the emotional trauma of being rejected for known and real flaws. Or do the work to eliminate and overcome those flaws.

You are going to be alone forever. So pathetic

I genuinely can’t tell if you’re trolling at this point if you’re actually this stupid.

I’ve never seen someone act so stereotypically like an ignorant conservative

Anyone that says “message me on instagram” or some version of that. Girls 95% of the time are just looking for followers and won’t follow you back. That’s when you unfollow and forget them
