I may get flamed for some of these, but I'll start:

Tattoos (just not my thing)

Men holding big fish

Men with pictures of what is clearly their ex (or current) wife/girlfriend

Bare chested selfies with urinals in the back ground

Anyone who says "live, laugh, love"

No pictures of them at all, or group pictures

Slightly sinister/psycho sounding profiles

YES to the fish thing!!!!
It's an epidemic!

Summerhillsquare · 26/01/2019 22:08

Fish, guns, or partners in the photos. A long rant about women being shallow, time wasters etc in the bio. Union Jack flags over everything. 'I have old fashioned manners like holding doors open'. Basically any man who appears not to like women!

‘My children are my world’
Marvellous.

TwistinMyMelon · 26/01/2019 22:09

Also any gym pictures

TwistinMyMelon · 26/01/2019 22:09

Tells me that they're just massive gym bores

Also anyone who went to the university of life or the school of hard knocks...

OP posts:
AmIthatbloodycold · 26/01/2019 22:10

Anyone that likes a "cosy night in" Envy

TwistinMyMelon · 26/01/2019 22:11

Or any man that dislikes "drama".

Yy to university of hard knocks / life 🙄

For me

  • all pics in sunglasses
  • just one pic
  • all pics with kids
  • saying "I'm a genuine guy"
  • saying "looking for my princess"
  • saying "women stop using filters / wear less make up / don't pout" basically giving women an instruction on how to look in their photos

Urgh so many things!

'I'm the type of man that will hold the door open for you and slap your arse on the way through'

Cant think of anything more unappealing Confused

ComtesseDeSpair · 26/01/2019 22:14

Children
Dogs
Schmaltzy memes

I don’t like any of them.

And If I’m being brutally honest: being overweight. I don’t find it attractive. And not smiling - if you can’t make yourself look cheerful for a profile photo then I’m going to assume you’re a moody bastard all the time.

TwistinMyMelon · 26/01/2019 22:14

Oh yes I hate cheap mirrored sunnies...

Or wife beater vests.

bananaramaspyjamas · 26/01/2019 22:15

Also, people who have taken selfies in their car. Who does that?

And in a bathroom, obvs.

Hmm12121 · 26/01/2019 22:15

Dead fish, toilet selfies, too groomed, can’t spell, uses text speak, scuba diving/mountain climbing/wing walking etc etc are their hobbies (they really aren’t), ‘dislikes drama’....I could go on......

TwistinMyMelon · 26/01/2019 22:18

It's really shallow of me but I also swipe left if they've got bad curtains/rugs in the background, or horrid leather sofas... 😂

OP posts:
Paddy1234 · 26/01/2019 22:20

Sharing 'Britain First' posts

I agree with the 'my children are my world' posts 😂

Sidge · 26/01/2019 22:20

If you want to know - just ask. Fuck off you lazy arse. You’re supposed to be trying to impress us.

Fish. Ugh.

Groups - which one is you?

University of life, school of hard knocks, job - yes I have one. Ugh.

TheBreastmilksOnMe · 26/01/2019 22:21

I sometimes wish I was on the dating scene just for the sheer entertainment! I have a client who has left a long term relationship and I love hearing about her OLD escapades. I live vicariously through her 😆

UnrepentinglyWeird · 26/01/2019 22:22

There are a bizarre number of men with their mothers in the photo with them Confused

Soldiers- nope.

'University of life'

Paddy1234 · 26/01/2019 22:22

Me too 😂

The sheer horror of the stories and lies ....,

TwistinMyMelon · 26/01/2019 22:23

Photos on a "lads" night out.

Photos of them smoking.

OP posts:
NotANotMan · 26/01/2019 22:25

Looking for a partner in crime
Some trip advisor style fake review
Dead or drugged animals
Upnose selfies
'Just ask'
Long lists of things they don't want and nothing about who they are and why anyone should date them

NotANotMan · 26/01/2019 22:26

Middle finger poses
Alcohol and fag in hand

DustyMcDustbuster · 26/01/2019 22:32

Other people in their photo & they haven’t cropped them out, rather they have used edit to scribble over their faces. Confused

TwistinMyMelon · 26/01/2019 22:37

Also pictures with random z list celebrities. I had one with Nick Knowles the other day!

Another charming one was someone grabbing the tits of a Kim Marsh waxworks... 😂
