What is it with men’s online dating profiles …

[Nosierosi]

But tongue in cheek but I’ve recently thrown myself into the world of online dating. I can’t get over the amount of men who say that the way to their heart is being honest and loyal.
and don’t get me started on the “no agg, no drama, must text back straight away” men….
I mean I get no one is looking to date a liar or be in a relationship with someone uncommitted but what is it with leading with the loyalty thing.

am I being unreasonable to think it’s a bit weird 😂 makes me wonder if they’d be happier with a pet dog…

would just like to say I have no idea what women’s profiles are like. I’m sure men have their own observations about our common themes 😂

I did online dating quite a bit before I met my partner. And yeah, you can spot the ones with bitter resentment towards women a mile off. Their profile reads like a collection of red flags.

I used to get a lot of comments about how glad they were that I'm not overweight. I would tell them that slagging off other women wasn't the way to ingratiate themselves with me and immediately unmatch.

Bitter comments about other women are deeply unattractive.

Whenever a profile mentions loyalty my mind immediately thinks "you need a dog not a woman buddy".
Its so strange isn't it.
I think because loyalty is something that is earned, not demanded.

The funny thing is everyone says the most important thing to them is honesty.

Then they post pictures of themselves 20 years younger and 40 lbs lighter and lie about their age, their job, their height, whether they are married and how much exercise they do.

Could it be a pity attempt? It sort of goes without saying, I'd agree... no-one wants someone who isn't loyal. I'm just saying that if they specifically put it, it implies they've been cheated on, and then (for me) two questions arise... are you now resentful towards women in general, and potentially, are you a crap person yourself, because 'many' people cheat because they're lacking something in the relationship.

Talking to a couple of my younger male relatives, they tell me that women are just as guilty of all of the above (well, maybe not the height thing)

This amused me because I stumbled across my exes profile on there and his photo was from about 7 years ago.
mind you he told me some horror stories from his time online dating prior to meeting me. Including someone using photos of their friend 😳

I did online dating very briefly for a while but found the quality of men on them to be very poor.

I now " hunt for men in the wild" and if I don't find anyone, well, at least I've had a lot of great nights out socialising

I dated a guy from online dating for about 6 weeks once. I ended it as I just didn't feel it. Next thing my friend saw his profile and he'd added in the classic "must be loyal and genuine" 😂😂 I feel those guys with that in their profile are immature in relationships and I'd stay away

I suppose they think it sounds better than saying that the way to their heart is "to be the youngest and best looking woman I can fool into thinking I'm younger and better looking than I actually am, and kind enough or with sufficiently low self esteem to overlook her disappointment when we meet".
