Do I need to say it's lighthearted? Wink

I swiped left on a man because he had the same name as my dog.

You’re supposed to love your children mate

School of Hard Knocks. Over to the left with you mate

Drugged tiger pictures, or any of the other cliche 'up a mountain' pictures.

Anyone less than gods gift having a long list of unrealistic requirements e.g blonde, petite, less than 5'4, under 100lbs, no ex boyfriends etc etc

I met my fiancé on tinder, but before that did a LOT of swiping (wine, apple air play, and friends helped 😂)

WhoKnewBeefStew · 15/02/2019 20:58

Anyone who has a pic of themselves without a top on!

starzig · 15/02/2019 21:04

Dogs or children.

MMM3 · 15/02/2019 22:15

Looking for a “partner in crime.”

Men who “work hard, play hard.”

“No drama.”

Also anyone with a list of what they don’t want- though this isn’t exactly petty.

No top on and holding a can of Stella up in the air like it's the bloody lion king!

MostlyBoastly · 16/02/2019 00:09

Wife cropped out of picture.

Closetbeanmuncher · 16/02/2019 00:24

*internally screams and vows on spot to never use tinder 😂😂

Crustaceans · 16/02/2019 01:23

When I was OLD I swiped left on anyone with the same name as my horrible ex. It’s not an unusual name.

Some of these things make me cringe, and i must admit chuckle somewhat. I don't know what some people are thinking.
There's some more on this similar thread to if you fancy a read.
