Things you hate about Online Dating....

[OnwardsEverStridingOnwards]

Just for a laugh, I thought I'd start a thread about the bad and the ugly of OLD...

Here's mine:

1. When men have a picture of a then holding a child on their profile, and then say 'oh, by the way, it's not mine, I promise.' Why include it if it's someone else's?

1. When men say 'if you want to know anything, just ask.' I'm sorry, ask what? You haven't given me anything to ask about!

1. When men just write their social media details on their profile with the words 'add me' and nothing else. No thank you. I'm not a love island contestant.

Looking forward to hearing everyone else's

Goddess !!!! 🤭🤨😩

when you are face deep in Ben and Jerry's with hairy legs and 3 day old pyjamas

How did you know thats what I do ????

Women's intuition ... bet I can even guess your name

For me it’s men being too forward, so asking to come to my house or turning it sexual when it sex hasn’t even been discussed.

@notlongtillxmas
Hmm, go on then, let’s make it tricky, middle name pls

Ah that would take a bit longer .. first .. might begin with an N
My crystal ball is just warming up due to being at work all day

‘N’ope

🧐🧐🧐

Are Xmas and old man flirting 😉? Who needs old

@Rubyrebel 😂😂😂😂😂 no
Although it must be another JustAnotherOldMan who told me his name was Neil .. guess what - I'm not really psychic

I can't be bothered with flirting , I'm Scottish
I just drag them away by the neck

Haha you crack me up @notlongtillxmas 😂

@Rubyrebel

Haha you crack me up *@notlongtillxmas* 😂

I am of course joking I've lived in England for a long time so I'm actually quite civilised , most of the time 😉 Keep smiling Rebel

Neil is my middle name, with is better than my given given 1st name, so that’s the one I tend to use tbh

How about the men who message you after 3 pm with a basic message and want to meet that evening

Ok here is something maybe one of you can help me with. I set my preferences for 5km from my location and I’m getting matches from thousands of miles away on tinder including Iceland!

Tinder depending on your sub shows you who like you ! So someone Icelandic likes you
But the local ones come up when you click on the red icon and you can choose

So it dictates your choices , but if other people havnt set boundaries …

Anyway just to say I saw a
‘Photos with famous people’ man yesterday

Totally cracked me up

I think his profile was with Britney !!! #freebritney

There’s an option to see profiles across the globe in the settings. Yours might not be switched on but if someone else’s are they might be shown your profile when they run out of local ones.

@Catullus5
Oh okay, so you were Ben, next time can you shave your legs and bring some fresh PJ’s,

Ta

I quit tinder and deleted my profile. I don’t have the nerves of steel to cope.

Me also Hope
Twice deleted now
I’m on a different app which has has less. people and it’s the better for it !

Having been on a four more dates now, I am getting fed up of the just un-truths or pretending that I have bumped into...

"I am in to wild swimming" = my friend took me once at the end of lockdown, but I prefer the sofa.

"Keen hillwalker" = what is a Munro? I have climbed the Whangie with my dog a few years ago...

"Love the Scottish islands and travel" = I have seen them on TV, they look amazing.

"Keen mountainbiker" = my dad cleaned up my old childhood bike to bring out on a ride with you today.

‘I bet I know more about music/films/tv/everyfuckingthing than you’ just seems like they would spend the entire time ether one up’ing you or mansplaning.
The ‘come hither’ bed photo.
Photos of them, but from the nineties.
Men looking for a ‘third’ to open up their relationship-always wonder if they have discussed this with their partner.
List of things they don’t want.
Making a raised eyebrow face in every single picture-I get it, you are quirky and unique.
Do enjoy when men do the exact pose and face in a variety of different outfits-find it really funny, still swipe left on them though.

Anything mentioning fucking vaccines.
I was on facebook dating for a while and so many of them had "I've been vaccinated" or "Vaccine. No thank you" frames on their profile pictures. ODFOD - just so fucking annoying.
And often followed up by a statement "If you haven't been vaccinated don't bother". "If you have been vaccinated don't bother".
Again - oh do fuck off!!

And people wearing masks in every single photo. Yeah, we get it, you're wearing your mask to protect yourself and others and the health service. Great! I have also worn my mask every where I as meant to during the pandemic but as I don't need to wear one in my own home or outdoors I can manage to find a photo for my dating profile where I am not wearing one.
Fucks sake!!!

I could go on about other things I hate about it but most of them have been said anyway - I've given up now anyway.
