Men Are Revealing The Most Cringey Things They've Ever Seen On A Dating Profile

"I saw someone say, 'Toxic men only.'"

If you've ever found yourself endlessly swiping through potential matches, you know dating apps can be rough. Some have the cringiest one-liners, selfies that are extremely outdated, and maybe even a catfish or two in the mix.

And because navigating the dating world is *not* for the faint of heart, it's time to talk about the moments that made you swipe left immediately.

I recently stumbled across a Reddit thread where men shared the absolute worst things they've seen on a woman's dating profile, and the responses had me rolling with laughter. Here are the moments that gave these guys alllll the ick, and honestly, who can blame them???

1."'If you can't accept me at my worst, then you won't see me at my best.' It's like they forgot to put their best foot forward."

2."Anytime where it's a list of what they don't want in a partner. I just read it and think, '****, who hurt you?'"

3."People who make it political. Yeah, you can have political views, but if that's all you talk about, no thank you."

6."Saw a chick who was unemployed with two kids and a bio that said, 'I need a man who works 40 hours a week and has most of his teeth.'"

7."'Looking for a serious relationship,' and that's it. That's their bio, nothing about themselves at all. You're ready to find a serious partner but can't spend 5–10 minutes on your dating profile to say something about yourself?"

11."If ______, then swipe left."

13."'No **** boys.' I automatically assume you've been through a few already."

18."Inactive here. Follow me on Instagram / add me on Snapchat. So, you're using this profile like a billboard?"

u/abhinoww

19."'You have to be able to back up a boat.' 'If you don't have a boat, I don't want you.' 'I'm looking for an older guy that will let my friends play on his boat.'"

20."Their salary."

21."Hinge-specific. When the prompt is any of the following: 'My most irrational fear,' 'worst idea I've ever had,' 'change my mind about,' and the answer is 'men.' I don't know if it's just my sense of humor not extending that far, but it's always been a bizarre thing for me to see this."

u/Natural_Parsnip_5291

25."I saw a woman who had her pregnancy photo as her default pic. Like, 7–8 months pregnant. Her bio: 'In an openish relationship. Just looking to talk for now, until I do us both a favor and get my MILF body back.'"

26."Having an empty profile except for 'just ask.' It's off-putting that you can't invest any effort at all. I don't like writing about myself either, but I do it anyway so I can have a minuscule chance at the competitive hellscape that is online dating for men. Some girls seem to think all they have to do is show up and be attractive (and I guess that's enough most of the time), but I'm turned off by that attitude big time."
