Online dating profile icks (lightheartedish)

[FleetwoodCam]

After divorcing about 5 years ago, I've met a couple of guys through OLD but neither worked out for different reasons. Also had a few perfectly pleasant dates that went no further (my choice).
Having been back on the apps for a couple of weeks, I'm finding more and more reasons to swipe left instantly. I know I might be ruling out great guys but seriously, why can they not put together a decent profile?
My current list of instant left swipes is as below -

ENM
Fish pictures (becoming less common)
Posing by someone elses expensive car
Mentioning they are good with their hands, mouth whatever.
The "I love my little princess and she comes first" brigade.
Comments like "drama free and want to stay that way" reads like they won't be supportive for issues you face.
Topless pics out of context (Beach maybe okay, bedroom mirror selfie NO!)
No punctuation
Aggressive don't match if you.... a,b,c d comments
First pic a large group of bro's (he's the ugly one, always)
Bios starting with "never know what to write here"
Lying about age with the obligatory "actually 52 but can't change it" comment.
If I see one more profile stating they are the kind of guy who will hold the door for you, but slap you're ass as you walk through, I might vomit.

Anyway really just letting out frustrations! Tell me your profile icks so I can take them on as my own and give up the whole business 😂

Well done for being clear about your standards.

He was quite free to explain that he didn't expect a ONS, but chose not to engage so bullet dodged.

I don’t drive, he knew this but was prepared to drive all that way, which I must admit sent alarm bells ringing, which is why I let him know what to expect, no ONS then he blocked me.

Well, it sounds like the trash took himself out then! Honestly, it’s a mine field.

Definitely I give up 🤦‍♀️

Oh I have had this. The distance setting is based on location at the time rather than where you live. So men who commute to London but live 30 miles away will message. But they often suggest a lunch or dinner as it's too far to travel just for a coffee at a weekend.
He may genuinely not have meant a ONS, or is that a bit naive?

All he had to do was message saying I don’t want a ONS either.

That would be the mature thing to do. But seriously if he’s blocking you over something like that, he’d be the type to block you rather than breaking up with you.

Hmm, I think I wouldn't if the tables were turned because I would be thinking "what?!" and be a bit offended at the suggestion. But it's also instinct and tone of messages and you may be totally right...

He might have thought you would go out for dinner etc - you’re probably right but maybe jumping straight into the ONS comment might have been a bit heavy handed.

No, no, no!

Can we please stop trying to blame ourselves for men's crappy behaviour?

It is not acceptable or mature behaviour to block someone like this! @pinenuts75 you have not done anything wrong! Perhaps you could have tried to carefully word it differently but a decent man would have communicated with you and said something like "whoa, me neither, I just meant a dinner, ha" or similar. He's showing you who he is - immature and bad at communicating at the best. Or someone who WAS after a ONS at worst!

Lucky escape!

You have to just keep saying to yourself when things like this happen "ok well he wasn't the right guy for me as the right guy would not have behaved like that".

(I have to say, I think the men who want a call before a meet up are also a bit weird and I thought that too when I read your comment. It's not 2020 anymore.. we don't need to do that!)

Yes I agree, think I will just stay single be a lot easier 😀

I’m not blaming women for men’s shitty behaviour so no idea where that came from.

I clearly said she was probably right but I think it was a bit of a leap to go straight for ‘he’s asking for a ONS’ rather than ‘him thinking after driving for 2 hours then a longer date than just a coffee is expected.

The fact he’s blocked her rather than say it’s a misunderstanding means yes she’s right or he was offended by the assumption.Ive unmatched plenty of times because someone man an assumption or a heavy handed comment - its the nature of OLD

Neither of which is even vaguely blaming women for mens behaviour.

(I have to say, I think the men who want a call before a meet up are also a bit weird and I thought that too when I read your comment. It's not 2020 anymore.. we don't need to do that!)

Really?? No way would I suggest a meet without a call first. Aside from verifying each other, I think it’s sort of vital to find out how well you can actually converse. I’m pretty sure I’m not weird.

I'm the same as you @Bittenonce but it is maybe an age thing.

Haha maybe I should change my username ‘notweirdjustold’

And I'll be Nosdahenberson

I don’t have a problem at all with a call prior to meeting up and it’s been a very useful tool for filtering out a couple of sex pests and others who only spoke about themselves.

Though I draw the line at a video call - no no never even if we were married for 50 years it’s never happening

I just swiped left on someone who tried to match with me. In his bio he said:

”I can touch my nose with my tongue. And I’ll leave the rest upto your imagination”

🤢🙅🏽‍♀️

@Bittenonce I find there's some men that I am not sure about and like a call. There's others that I go straight to meeting and it feels a little more romantic.
@TwistedWonder I agree, personally I would feel a little offended if someone thought I was suggesting a ONS, I would have thought they had completely misunderstood me and wouldn't want to meet at all.

@GoldDuster exactly this!

@Thatsthebottomline you are a definite swipe left. Gross comments.

😂 everything you said, OP. You’ve really taken me back to my OLD days.

The fish photos were everywhere when I was on the apps. They always repulsed me.

I know, its terrible that I dont have problem with violence but im going to "change'. 82 % of men in prison are Dads according to HMP Prison. Im sure there's plenty of tall, bald headed nutters out there for you.

While we are here, if you cant get your act together and you blame everything on the 'people coming in the boats" then I'd forget it.

@Thatsthebottomline

What on earth are you talking about? Was this intended for me?

What do immigrants have to do with you calling women’s breasts “hanging gardens of Babylon”?

Well, im talking about "icks". Sort of the subject of the thread really. An ick for me would be a woman with a massive cleavage showing and also someone who is thick enough to blame immigrants for their poor life choices.

I dont know if it applies to you or not ? Does it ? I dont remember saying it did ? Naturally you have to be right.

Perhaps im not allowed icks ?

@Thatsthebottomline

It’s not about me being right.

I commented that the language that you used was crass. Because it was - and I was not alone in commenting on it.

I am not marking your icks. Why would
I?

I have never commented about migrants - ever - on this site.

Your comments to me seem like you are unhinged.
