THE BIGGEST DEALBREAKERS ON DATING PROFILES
Now I may be a dating app virgin, but I really know what is and isn't acceptable on your profile, should you choose to use one. I see it a bit like Instagram (pretty much the new Tinder, right?). There you also just see a bio, you post all kinds of photos, and you can chat privately with anyone. But anyway, your first impression is always based on your profile pictures and bio, and the Bustle team decided to do some research to see what really are the ultimate turn-offs that make you swipe left immediately. Here they come:
1. People who think they are actually ’too good’ for online dating
But if that were the case, then you wouldn't be on Tinder or Happn or whatever, right? And why would you even want to put this in your profile?
2. An overdose of emoticons
Now I’m always pro emoticons, especially the inflated goldfish and the rocket are often used by me when I’m texting, but in your dating profile it’s better to keep it to a minimum. If you indicate that you are a fan of football (as an example), you really don’t need to add a football emoji right away. Or croissants, dogs, ice creams; you get the picture.
3. Incorrect grammar
4. A completely blank bio
As in: you just have nothing in there. Doesn’t help the person either?
5. Writing down everything you don’t like
Sorry, but then you come across as a super negative person. Write down the things you do like instead (without all those emoticons, okay?). And don’t make it too long either.
6. Bad photos
Only group photos making it unclear who you are chatting with, only photos in the gym, topless photos… We just want a clear photo of your face. Is that too much to ask for?
7. Having very specific wishes about the appearance of another
She must be blonde, at least 1 meter 65, sporty, and then there’s a whole list of character traits she must meet. Pffff, picky much?
I just prefer to stick to old-fashioned dating, you know. Isn’t that a lot more exciting, or not?
