Would you swipe right on this person on OLD?

[daffodil777]

"Protective, smart, adventurous, eccentric, generally calm but can be aggressive if provoked"

Sounds like a badly trained dog

Oh my God no! What on earth makes them think anyone would want to go out with an aggressive person?

“aggressive if provoked”?!?!

I’d view that as a red flag and avoid, personally.

I’d swipe ‘no’, whichever way that is.

Hell no

God no!

Coupled with protective I imagine they think their “aggression” is totally justified. It’s not.

Definitely not!!!!

Which way is no? I'd do that. Aggressive? No thanks.

self identifies as eccentric and aggressive - is this code for some weird fetish?

They’d already lost me at eccentric …

No

Red flags are protective and aggressive if provoked.

Protective & aggressive- are they a staffie??

What they wrote...

"Protective, smart, adventurous, eccentric, generally calm but can be aggressive if provoked"

Who they are...

"Jealous control freak, hobbies cycling will always come first and will gaslight you with violent tendencies"

I thought OLD was full of deception. At least this one is honest.

Aggressive if provoked? So they could say well you were warned when it goes wrong? No way.

Considering that people generally paint themselves in the best light they can on these things I would steer very clear of this person.

They would 100% get aggressive and then say you provoked them, and be controlling too.

It does read a bit like a rescue’s description of a Yorkshire Terrier that needs a new home after their owner went into a care home.

I wouldn't like my dog if he had that dude's personality.

Aggressive if provoked?

I matched with someone who said women were a waste of skin

I took great pleasure in telling him to rethink his profile and unmatched!

Eccentric is one of those descriptions that, if you use it about yourself, you probably aren't.

fucking hell, I’d be swiping which lever way is no as fast as I could!

If the best way to sell yourself to others is using the word aggressive that's a hard no

That's what he wants you to know about him. Imagine what he doesn't.

Protective would be a no from me, any mention of aggression would have me running for the hills.

Probably not

but it depends what’s meant by aggressive. If someone threatened my kids, I’d be aggressive.

Protective means controlling. Eccentric means he wears a fedora and plays PC and larping games. Aggressive when provoked means he sees himself as some kind of knight in shining armour but can’t control his temper.

As others have said, if you had a dog with those traits, you’d do your best to train it out of them. You certainly don’t want it in a partner.

Sounds like he watches Andrew Tait.

Swipe whichever way is fuck no.
