Yeah but it doesn't matter. The woman will either like the man or she won't. Photos like that are just to convince herself of whatever. If she wouldn't like him to begin with then it makes no difference.

I saw a few people putting links to their Instagram and saying to go there cause they might not be on the dating site.

Would you ever fuckoff. I'm not following you over to Instagram. I don't use Instagram..is this them trying to get fans/followers?

saw that as well. it is id say.

I once met this woman while working one night. we hit it off, kissed. Then as we were chatting, she mentioned she had friends who were paid to be seen at restaurants etc because they had a big instagram following. It was a big part of the reason I lost interest in her, I cant be hanging out with someone with friends like that, life is too short to be in the company of people like that.

More than likely just trying to get Instagram fans/followers. But the contents of their Instagram can give a good idea of the kind of person they are, what kind of stuff they're into, whether they're self-obsessed, etc.

She must have been a dog, no other reason to have shut her off like that due to her friends. It's not like she was doing it.

No, she was good looking in fairness. why else would I have kissed her? I wasn't even drinking so didn't have beer goggles. And she wasn't an instagram person herself but I could just picture myself at some party with her and her friends and wanting to throw up because I couldn't stand listening to their $hite.

The whole generic stuff..love travelling, festivals, getting together with family, nights out as well as cosy nights in.

Yep, i still know nothing about you.

Some people do not love traveling, they would go to the Canaries every year on their holidays. But done more info would help, like Olympics made me want to go to Japan.

"420 friendly"

While I suppose it's handy if you're a smoker yourself, stoners who regard their weed habit as being a part of who and what they are would bore you to death rabbiting on the benefits of their expensive, highly addictive junk. It would be in all likelihood a No from me- female stoners in particular are often particularly highly strung.

I like a joint myself from time to time and sometimes keep a plant or two but yes advertising it probably isn't a good idea.

I love injecting heroin at least once a day sometimes twice. But I'm not an addict. I'm a multi millionaire self made so I can fund my habit.

People declaring how obsessed they are with their pets. No wonder your bloody single with that obsession.

I could never go for that either. pets like dogs and cats shouldn't be allowed in a house, pet hair everywhere, disgusting. she would likely allow them on the couch, in the car, in the bed even.

"Equal " is often a subjective term

Probably anything really lazy would be the worst thing I think. Usually this would be linking to their Instagram and telling people to ping you on there.

I'm assuming you need to follow them to message them?

"avid boards.ie user"

Its many years since I had an online dating profile but it wasn't anything like what's been mentioned. I just wrote about the things I liked such as books and films and music.

I certainly don't think I had any rules regarding who should message me or not. Although there was something....I think it was along the lines of "if you are strange like me then send me a message". Or something.

Spelling mistakes would put me off. Alot, would of, inability to tell the difference between there/their/they're.

hah!

Talk about proving the point. If you don’t even understand what the word means it’s definitely a pretty good way to weed people out.

No, feminists don’t think men’s rights activists are sexist. I mean, wtf?

The group photos are really annoying. A few people have the cop on to blur out their friends faces, but more often than not you're playing a game of where's wally. Photos with half the face cropped out is another one.

I've seen explicitly written (once) "Don't contact me if you think men's rights should be fought for." Also (different person) "Don't message me if your favourite author list is a sausage fest." Granted, these were on okcupid where there is much more room to reveal yourself as an idiot.

I love it when people on here are so single-mindedly blinded by the need to express their opinion that an obvious joke flies right over their heads.

mariaalice

Put nothing on your profile as everyone seems to be annoyed or put off by something in a profile and don't bother with a photo as something about the photo will put someone off, however not putting any content on will annoy someone as well!

How can it be so difficult, be honest about your age, intentions, and only put recent photos up its not that difficult.

Only having "iceberg" photos on the profile is a serious 🚩

In a world where freakin' cannibals can put ads online asking for volunteers that would rather like to be eaten and receive sincere replies, there is likely no amount of madness you could put on a profile that wouldn't appeal to somebody, somewhere. Then there is the fact that people lie online. With these factors in mind, I think a lot of the snooze inducing profiles, the ones that display banal predictable interests are actually designed to scream 'Normal' and to weed out 'weirdos,' (of which there are a lot). But then there's the fact that people lie online, so the profile that screams NORMAL was likely penned by a murderous psychopath.

Or maybe I've been watching too many YT crime videos... 😀

When I was in a dating site I told most women that I’m not into travelling really , that I hate airports and while I like going on holiday once a year to chill out in the sun that I am really kind of a home bird but I do love to travel around Ireland as I don’t think most people have seen enough of our own country .

Youd think I’d rode most of their grannies by the reaction that got

go way and shite , so many people think they are so interesting really

No matter what you do it won't be good enough for most people. Imagine if people were this fussy before online dating.

As well be hung for a sheep as a lamb...

Tell me how

If people were as honest on dating platforms as they are on this site the whole thing would be a hell of a lot easier.

Of course, the pool of potential matches would be a hell of a lot smaller too.

Dating platforms, the list of traits, the pictures, the knowledge that there is someone else to consider immediately has led to incredibly particular users. How many real life, happy (or otherwise) couples do you know who like every feature about each other? But yet people rule out a potential match if a single thing they disagree with, or even how it is communicated is present.

Putting in pictures of kids, but saying 'the kid is not mine' is that so hard to navigate around? Saying that their children are their world? Is that not reasonable when you are responsible for children? If they were you children and your former partner was saying 'I have kids but I don't let them hold me back' would you feel ok about it?

pgj2015

The "my kids are my world" says to me, I used to have a life before I had kids, but I don't anymore.

Worst things you can say on your internet dating profile

If you're me, literally anything, because nothing works.

"If you can't deal with me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."

Translation: I'm insufferable & unstable. I've made really bad choices in life & take zero ownership for them. Men keep dumping me. I bring drama & chaos into your life and hate my father.

Activist - sounds like hassle, may stab me if I don't concur, I'll pass ta.

On the 'fluent in sarcasm' thing, sarcasm gets far too much respect in our culture I think. Sarcasm is funny in small doses but is not a great form of comedy. I know a lot of my mates who pride themselves on their sarcasm but they lack the wit to actually make it funny.'

Feminism isn’t a sexist term. Never has been. What do you think a conventional male sex role is?

In case it isn’t obvious, I am a feminist. personally, I have actively been involved in positive changes for father’s rights (see recent changes to paternity leave, although not enough complete yet ) and also continue to discuss state pension changes to recognise father’s in an equal way to women. Equality , which is what feminism strives for, benefits us all. It’s not a war you need to wage between the sexes. Women having the right to work does not harm men.

What positive changes have you influenced?

(ps, You might might be coming across as scary/odd when you talk to women, if you speak the way you post. )

Women have had full equality in Ireland for a long time yet feminists have never saw themselves as busier,so busy they make stuff up like the " gender pay gap "

Feminism is an ideology

Yeah, definitely lead with that. Such a catch.

Lots of what has already been said - but also when somebody looks very different in all of their photos, long hair/short hair, chubby/thin beard/clean shaven. Which one of these are you right now????

It’s October now, that was posted early August. It took you two months to come up with a comment demonstrating how you misunderstand a term in use since the 60’s. Could you have spent any of that time even googling it? Seems not.

I now see why people put it on their profiles. Pretty effective!

Online dating was only in its infancy when I was single and looking for me hole

Cant really think of much that would make them run for the hill because there's a foot for every shoe.

People make the mistake of trying to appeal to the popular idea of normal. There's no such thing

My very favourite part of internet dating is when the wan has "Do not message with Hi/Hey" in her bio. You then match and the first thing she writes is "Hey".
