Slut shaming men is fine but don't dare do it to a woman.

In fairness I don't think how his body looks like is the problem here. It's the missing bit between the ears...

Well at the rate he goes through supermodels he possibly is.

He's not"OMG I wanna lick you all over" attractive but not horrendous either.

Agreed. Mentioning that you're married and basically looking for a one night stand on Tinder is an exceptionally stupid thing to do.

From the article:

"A woman from Kildare shared the screengrab on Twitter, saying: "My mate came across this tinder profile tonight. Extra Douchebag points for the Moses basket in the background."

My mate, right

To be fair all tinder users should keep whatever they see private. I see no business in disclosing other people affairs, not sure why the Kildare woman felt the need to repost her "mate's" findings.

Now its all public. There are some silly profiles on Tinder BTW. I don't think a faceless torso picture with nameless profile would attract anyone just because he said he was married.

I don't see it either to be honest. I was obsessed with him when he was in the Titanic but I was about 9 when that came out so I liked the girly boy look. Now he's starting to look like Jack Nicholson.

Aye, I'd say there's a fair bit of 'If I slag yer man people will think I'm ripped' going on alright.

Seems in decent shape to me for 42. I swim and most men I see that age have a paunch.

Or he exhausted a lot of air right before taking the picture. I am a man and can see his sides skirts there

Pudgy, soft, love handles , zero lean muscle(no need to be a muscle beefcake) he pretty much is what I'd imagine testosterone hitting the brick wall to look like.

Extra douchebag points for using the words douchebag and mate.

We know nothing. We don't know if this guy has a kid, we don't know if he has a wife...
We don't even know if he has a head, but if he does it is empty regardless.

All you can see is a picture of headless man, with a description.

You need to do your due diligence before jumping to some conclusions. What if they are in either broken or open relationship wis his wife?

I use tinder and don't give a single f*** about this man. How does he ruin it for yourself with a headless shot???

Ever been on tinder? Some of them post pictures with kids, ex boyfriends and parents.

Some of them have pictures of butterflies as their profile pictures, are they really butterflies?

I think you missed my point completely...

Because it's arseh**es like this guy that turns women away from online dating, getting msgs from guys like this gives the impression that most guys online are messers or only after 1 thing. It makes women lose enthusiasm for replying to the decent guys. I'm very confident the profile was written by a man trying to cheat on his partner and its likely he used his facebook account for setup. He says he's married and wants to cheat = scumbag

If you want to yes, as long as the person is not easy to identify I don't see any reason why not

Never got a message until you actually liked someone's profile. Why would you liked profile like that? None of your business it seems.

Confident, likely... Circumstantial evidence

I disagree. What do you mean by not easy to identify? Someone's online profile can be easily identified or not. Just because it is not easily identified by yourself doesn't mean it is OK.

Why would you do it anyway?

- Luckily I don't need to be on tinder - so some social media aspects of dating are beyond my comprehension.

This guy does seem naive, had a laugh at this "share a bottle of wine, beer and more..." - I am like,
... would more include the wife on later dates ?!?
... or what if he got assigned/punished to do this by his Mistress - that would explain it better to me

Now, in real life, I think we've all seen the one with a guy not having enough of it in the period these moses baskets are needed. Some act on it, some don't, but its a reality many couples face. How they go at addressing the issue is none or our concern, it is a very private matter.
So the one thing I have more of a problem with is this mob on social media - I think those b***hes need to get a life !

In fairness, he is currently filming a Tarantino movie about the Manson family murders. He has presumably 'bulked up' for his role which is common enough.

A comment from a (single) friend of mine:

"If you have a snapchat photo with that shítty doe eye filter and soft lighting as your picture on Tinder, you should have your account deleted".

That's the real issue apparently.
He has a point though.

They're adults. Adults sometimes cheat on each other.
Some married people will hop up on a gust of wind.

Not my problem. Don't care.

did he find another woman more attractive ??

I don't understand the outrage. Some lad decides to cheat on his wife and sets up a Tinder profile. This happens all the time and is nobody's business but those immediately affected.

average_runner

In fairness, there is a moses basket, which means kid is under 12 weeks, doubt any mother would leave a kid under 12 weeks for enough time for him to get his bit.

This is a PR stunt by Tinder

When did being a cheating dirtbag become so acceptable? Considering the op and title I have all feeling you'd see all lot more bile being posted here if the genders were reversed

Honestly the only thing to take away from this whole pile of nonsense is just how much of a tabloid rag the Independent is.

Why not, what's wrong with telling people about scumbag behaviour and some people find it amusing, it might even lead to his partner finding out how much of a clown he is. In some cases the person posting on social media should try to cover things like the person's name etc

It's definitely a rag but all the other papers are also rags or not worth buying so the problem is more with print journalism been rubbish

I was out on Saturday night and at the next table was a bunch of married guys ( mid late 40's)on an Annual lads night out.

They started off ok, but as the night went on and the drink flowed, their behavior got worse.

A few were just there having a laugh and a few pints and knew where to draw the line, but some of them, their language and behaviour was horrendous.

I just thought, imagine being married to you!

Not so sure I agree. The Irish Times and Times Ireland Edition are both good, while the Guardian does some very good investigative journalism too, plus their sports coverage is great.

Lol. the anger and outrage.

A guy put up a stupid photo online. It was screenshotted and went viral. That's all this is.

He put up a topless photo, with a moses basket in the background and said he was married. People said that guys a douchebag. That's all that's happened.

You're treating it like some sort of conspiracy theory and you're micro analysing everything. Just accept it for what it is and enjoy the puns on the first page.
