Top of the list for me is selfies with tops off or drinking cans of beer Confused

No wonder some blokes think that's appealing 🤦‍♀️

@Soen
I agree re the beards!

Really hard to tell them apart nowadays. I'm convinced it's the same 3 men on repeat who change styles depending on day- Hipster/artisan/cosy club/peaky blinders look

I agree the copy and paste messages are annoying. I got exactly the same message from someone twice during a month. He must have forgotten he'd sent the first one lol.

Also, a lot of men don't seem to read my profile to find out what I'm looking for before they message. I always read profiles.

So all of these on my Bumble stream this morning. Guess how many I swiped right on?

And these were the ones who'd actually written something in their profile!
The rest were bed pics, tattoos, dogs and moody no smile pics.
I think I will be single forever

Ugh 'bit of a brute', vile. Sounds like a dv sitch in the making. Also sou D's better suited to a gay hook up site

So many things.

Any kind of filter or shapchat crap screams low class.
Only face and can't see body equals chubby.
skydiving or "extreme" stuff. The person is usually the opposite of extreme and is compensating.
Any kids. Not for me although I have some.
Low level job or education.
But mostly its the face. 90% are just plain to ugly. I've kept an open mind that some people can look better in real life but this just resulted in endless first dates where I wasn't interested.

I still get emails from my OLD days, and in his intro one of the men was looking for someone 'self effacing' Hmm

bumbleb33s · 24/05/2020 11:34

My best friend was recently having problems with her live in boyfriend, then got a call from one of her mates to say she’d seen him on POF as single, and he’d messaged her, all his profile pictures was of him and my friend at events, nights out etc and he scribbled her face out with a black marker, not one of him on his own, omg, you couldn’t write it 😂

Photos of fancy dress nights out - enforced wackiness is a straight red.

BlusteryLake · 24/05/2020 15:17

Oh yes, fancy dress! Makes me run for the hills.

Those are hilarious! But its scary to think these men walk amongst us Confused

IndieTara · 24/05/2020 19:41

And they think that tripe will attract one of us!

APJ1 · 24/05/2020 19:48

Photos with macho celebrities. I'm not sure I'd want to date someone who idolises the likes of rapist thug Mike Tyson.

Have we already mentioned football shirts?

Crystalspider · 24/05/2020 20:12

Men dressed up as women on stag do pics
Topless with beer in hand lad's holiday pics
Pictured with other women
No drama queen/princess quotes
These are from Bumble, I haven't been on any other apps, are they all the same?

IndieTara · 24/05/2020 20:17

Yes they are pretty much the same

singlemum81 · 24/05/2020 20:28

I'm going to be single forever 🤣

Amongst all the things he's not into, he's also not into punctuation.

I remember chatting to one guy who.told ke he had slightly unconventional housing. He eventually revealed that he lived in the back of his transit van.

Er...

@singlemum81Grin

Also love the transit van guy.
