Worst things you can say on your internet dating profile

Ok but, maybe controversial, do you really want to date someone with a hobby they adore. I have a 'hobby' and the fact is that in my life it comes second only to my child. It's not so much my hobby as something I consider an integral part of my life. I think about it all the time. I mean I'm not so one track that I'm not well read on current affairs, don't watch tv/films, can't hold a conversation on a variety of topics, don't have professional goals and ambitions, etc. But I spend a fair amount of my day either doing, thinking about, reading or watching videos about my 'hobby.' If I'm sick for more than a few days, I will sulk and fret about missing it. I also have a number of other hobbies, that are just hobbies, but I also enjoy them and spend time on them. If you don't share my hobby/obsession, you won't really share this part of my life. If you do share my hobby, I feel I'd prefer to avoid a sexual/romantic relationship as this is mine. I don't want to add the complications of a relationship to it. If you have your own hobby/obsession that would probably be best. You do your thing, I do mine. If we can occasionally join in with each other's things, that could be fun. But I'm not going to drop my hobby for yours, and I'm fine with you feeling the same. But it means that we have to each understand that those parts of us are going to take priority a lot. And our relationship is probably going to be shallower than most people want. That said, I'm not looking for a relationship. I don't not want one but I like my life as it is, between motherhood, my hobbies, dog and friends it's pretty full. I doubt I could realistically find a relationship with someone that would slot into my life and complement it without detracting from it.

What is the hobby?

Galwayguy35

Any profile with that Marilyn Monroe quote, "if you can't handle me at my worst......".

Anyone who puts horsesh1t like that on their profile is a ball breaking headwrecker and the poor sap who ends up with her is destined for a life of misery.

Or when they state non drinker/non smoker in their profile but have a photo of themselves with a pint in one hand and a fag in the other.

One I see a lot is "No **** boys"

...translation: I have a past history of choosing **** boys and I would love to meet a nice guy, but ultimately still have a thing for **** boys cos I'm psychologically damaged. Next.

Haven't read through the whole thread but surely this classic has to get a mention...

If you just scrolled up 3 posts only about an hour ago!

Will agree though, it's just highlighting mental health issues we should try to avoid in a partner

Another one is "My 2/3/4 little angels are my world and god help anyone who hurts them". A few pics of said unmannerly snotbags for extra effect

Let them grow up then love, before you get involved with and introduce them to internet strangers

Not near as bad or annoying as the gimps that have "full time mad bastard" in their profile bio.

Usually their idea of mad is 2 straws in a bottle of bud and slamming it

Does that really happen?

And is the headwrecking Marilyn thing still in use? I thought that fizzled out seven or eight years ago.

The new Marilyn Monroe quote seems to be -

"If you can’t buy me a cuppa tea and put seventy quid petrol in my car once a month get out my life" - Gemma Collins

I respect people who can handle caustic soda. That stuff can give you weeping sores that take months to heal.

Once you've made up an alibi for getting it to make soap you can use it to dispose of bodies.

I've never been on a dating site and reading through this thread just reminds me of the torment and BS I have been missing out on , I'm in a long term relationship but if ever I had of been single for long periods of time I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole I just find them insufferable, there's no real human connection involved in putting up an online persona of yourself - you never really know someone until you meet them in person and that , for me is how 'sparks' happen.

I've loads of friends who have used them and some of them have met great people on them , some have led to romance , some have led to absolute hoards of crazies and creeps - honestly lads some of the stuff you put out there towards women in DM's is horror cringe at best and borderline legal at worst, has self respect and respect in general gone out the window?

I know plenty of women who support feminism and yes sometimes I think it can go a little too far but I've also seen them vocally support men's rights , fathers rights and being a feminist doesn't make them bad people , in fact they are some of the most logical and balanced people I know - the issue is a lot of men still see feminism as a 'dark act' or attack on them , it's not... Equality in Ireland is in a much better place than it was years ago and in general women are treated as equals but taboo's still exist , sexism still exists both in the workplace and outside...equally men's right's are not completely balanced either and there is plenty of improvement needed that side as well...like anything in life it's down to the actual people themselves in how they express their believes and opinions not the opinion itself that will show who they are as a person.

I love to laugh - does anyone hate laughing?

Activist - probably needs a bath.

"Shopping" as a pastime.

The choice of pics as if there's a real problem finding a pic of yourself: really crappy blurry ones, one in a public toilet, one glugging a pint or a wine glass if a 'wine o'clock gurl', the ones with other peoples' faces scribbled out on MS Paint, one sticking your tongue out like an infant/golden retriever, sunglasses indoors, masked pics..

Grown adults that describe pets as fur babies, doggos.

Strumms

I’ve never understood the fur baby or doggo thing...

DOG / CAT.....also you have saved yourself a whole 5 and 2 keystrokes on the above by just referring to the animal by it’s correct name..

Ach lads, what IS ok to say?

Ms. Newbie18

Gym or bathroom selfies are a no no for me.

On a profile with no photo of themselves.

Wants to learn english/wants to be shown around.

Feck off and book an english course or a tour guide.

If you can't handle me at my best, you sure as hell don't want to see me at my worst.

You'd want to have your passport at the ready 'round me.

Ash.J.Williams

I’d say you’ve roughly 6 months to knock me up

Free-to-use Tinder type sites are very often just used for casual sex (sometimes even paid sex) but there are some paid sites that I’ve known people to use for more serious partner finding. People who go on those sites are invested enough to be in search of genuine committed relationships, they often have way more to offer, and I know some absolutely lovely long-term couples who met up that way.

"People". Sure. Wink wink.

I'd be leaving the above off your own profile if I were you.

I left a post on boards once and over 100 people pressed the "Thanks!" button under it

Go on everybody, you know you want to

Men are like parking spaces, the best ones are taken and the rest are too small.

I actually appreciate it when someone goes to the effort of scribbling out their friends faces because it avoids any confusion. Nothing worse than a bunch of group photos where you've no idea which one she is.

pgj2015

The best ones aren't taken because they aren't stupid enough to settle down.

Or as I like to call them, the easy one with no self-esteem

Larbre34

Avoid any clichés, any dumb sayings (single mingle etc), anything self-deprecating, anything about past failed relationships or other people not living up to your expectations in whatever sense and finally any misspellings. You don't need an IQ of 140 to run a spellcheck.

Just be feckin honest and straightforward. And be upfront about your current circumstances.

"I'm 42, separated Dad of 2, living in Dublin but from Clare originally. I work for myself in the construction sector. I co-parent my children and they are with me often, but in my spare time I really enjoy outdoor sports, the cinema and theatre and visiting new places. I cook as a hobby and like sharing what I make. I've been single for two years and am interested in meeting someone who shares my interests." ......

This actually says a lot about your own self esteem doesn't it.

Invariably that is the case. Unless they're all rides.

Sunny Disposition

Seems to be a lot of aggressively written profiles from women, saying things like if you can’t handle me at my worst you don’t deserve me at my best. How the fck can that do anything but discourage potentials?

I saw one lately and her bio was basically a rant about people being sheep, wearing face masks, vaccines and the "great reset"

There's a reason I don't post stuff like that to my own online dating profile 😉

"Genuine" and "sincere", like "cool", "honourable" or "honest" are, IMO, words that you don't get to apply to yourself. To mean anything, they must be what other people say about you.
