Dating App Pet Peeves

I never got that impression. Parents looking for casual stuff make it clear. This is just, hey hope to get to know you, but sometimes I can't go out because I have a kid, they're my priority.
You know what bothers me most about people on the app: when they message you first with something very generic, you reply, and then they just drop off the face of the Earth. Like why even bother to message me with some boring shit if you weren't even going to respond to whatever I put.

The worst thing for me is how more & more other women on dating apps are just het couples looking for another woman for a threesome. You'll see a beautiful woman and right after that 3 more pics of her with her boyfriend and a description along the lines of "I'm not a lesbian haha we're just a heterosexual couple looking for a hot woman for a threesome :) sorry :)" Jesus fucking Christ fuck off I'm trying to find some cute hookups/a girlfriend! >:(
Oh and other people who base their entire identity around their pets. I mean, I love my pup too, but I'm not gonna drop dead if I don't mention him 5 times on my dating profile lmao

That shit an instant swipe left. Being black I just assume she's looking for some tall white asshole. I feel like I'd probably swipe left if I was white for it sounding very basic."Just a Pam Beesly looking for her Jim Halpert!"
Welcome to using dating apps in the midwest.
Mention of 'fur babies'
Or the 'classic' I'll probably like you for your dog
Also having an animal does not make up for a lack of personality.
Filtered pics.
All your pics are group ones and I don't know which one you are.
Using any picture more than a few months old. I've seen women who used 2 yr old pictures.

Could not believe the amount of snapchat dog filters, though that was a handy filter if it was their main or one of only a couple photos
Just fucking why
Just fucking why
The economics of dating sites mean that women seeking men can get away with that.
My sister's now-husband said that way back in the day, before they got married, and it very must translated for him that his kids come first. Always. Even when it is an unreasonable scenario, or unfair.
I would never fucking marry someone if they said that to me, seeing what I've seen with that. Huge red flag.

Eh ... I always wonder about that.
Some descriptions paint a picture of previous experiences.
I will not be your unicorn.
No dick pics.
I swear some are just trolling. Ive seen 6 pictures in someones profile with 4 plus people in each one not having a clue which one the profile is for. At some people specify it's a group.
??? All right, I don't what scenario you're imagining where that's a bad thing. It'd be weird if someone prioritized me over their kids.

I was gonna say it, but I've started enough shit with people on this forum.
Because the part that says white/Caucasian is most likely talking about their own ethnicity
E: tbh I can't really tell. I see where you are coming from but why would it suddenly go from looking for men blah blah to I drink moderately and I don't smoke?
Such a weird layout
If it is as you think it is the. I agree with you but I can't tell tbh

No, I took that screenshot and the app has a category called "He/She's looking for" with what is listed below. Other profiles list multiple races in their preferences, sometimes every race but black people.
I wish people would actually look at the picture for what it is, especially when I took the time to annotate it with underlining the key points instead of trying to dismiss the problem.
I think the use of the 'I' in I drink moderately throws off the perception. I read it as going from looking for a man blah blah to then going to 'I smoke occasionally and I drink moderately"
It should just say drinks moderately. I'm unfamiliar with the app though so it's obviously clear to users what It means.
Anyways, my mistake
The fact that 99% of them all say the same stuff on them.
Being trustworthy, sweet, kind, funny, ambitious, positive and fun don't really say anything about you as an actual person. Everyone thinks that about themselves.

Ok, has any of you ever seen people specify they prefer non-whites in dating profiles?
I'm laughing on the outside but raging on the inside
I've seen a woman with "message me first" on Bumble. It was really something.
they send out 20+ "hey"-messages and the hottest out of all the replies gets the date. it's like dating battle royale!
I love to collect bad dating profiles. This one is currently the best of all time:
You would probably think that someone whose intelligence is in the 91st percentile might be smart enough to know that blathering on about how high you scored on your GREs makes you look like a self-important blowhard, but I guess not. Big kudos on listing "My self" on a list of things you could not do without.
It seems like their only requirement is being white. They could be an out of shape, unemployed, literal, bum and they'd have a better chance than a non-white dude.
yikes just swap The Office/Friends with Sunny/Seinfeld (god bless amazon prime) and you've got me. i should do more things
Most annoying thing has to be....
"I'm never on this app.... Follow me on Instagram!"
When I pull up someone's profile and it is nothing but pictures but nothing about the person or their profile is just someone random quote that tell me nothing about them.
look, being nice on dating apps is basically the kiss of death. if you want their attention, you gotta be memorable. something like: "he stopped breathing, should I call the cops? - whoops, sorry that wasn't meant for you."
or get abs.
1: People who use stupid instagram filters on all their pics
2: People where every pic has like 3 or 4 people (usually the same people) and you have to be F'n Sherlock Holmes to determine who the person is
3: Profiles with nothing more than like a quote or nothing at all
Those are my biggest three pet peeves. If I see a IG filter of like mouse ears or something its a instant "nope".

Very true.
Another common one for sure but understandable given how many creeps a woman has to deal with on dating sites or just in general.
Lmfaooooo.
The thing is, while a lot of these people on the apps (in my case women), are probably not as basic as they appear to be, but who the hell knows how to make themselves standout right?
OP really hit the nail on the head, the amount of fucking Office references on profiles is astounding. Then again, no one wants to put in that much effort it seems.
Edit: Never on here. Insta: basicasshit993
"Never on here" people are just looking for IG followers and are the only thing I'll swipe left on instantly.
It's true. Just a weird way to get followers. But I know there are guys who will do it.
