I thought this was a second section about herself at first. Holy shit. Also amazing how there's so many things with "no preference", but somehow race has to be specified.
Because failing at being sarcastic is the worst thing ever!

Dating App Pet Peeves

- Start date
I only used dating apps briefly and had only 1 issue.
1. I think its fine if people don't answer.
2. I think its fine if they stop answering.
Dating Apps are almost all a numbers game. You keep swiping, keep messaging, and it only hits maybe like 5% of the time if you're lucky.
My one frustration was bots. Really wish they could crack down on those.

They have no interest. Anything that inflates the user numbers helps the stock price in IAC's case and helps in marketing.
Met my wife on EHarmony. Great site.
Also, who gives a flying fuck if they like to 'watch the office'? My wife likes watching the Kardashians, Real Housewives and other shows which are complete garbage. She also loves Twin Peaks, The Wire, and Arrested Development. She loves groups like One Direction yet she freaked out when Jai Paul released a new track.
Get over yourself, sheesh.

Nothing wrong with that. Race is part of attraction, I don't get upset when a girl puts "Only interested in Black men" which I see often.
What is laughable though when they feel the need to put "You will never come before my kids". Like.. really, do you have to even state this? Comes across as such a bad attitude.
Yikes looks like poverty tourism, reminds me of BoJack Horseman where Sebastian gets off on telling others of his charity work in a warzone.I just remembered this one:
White people surrounded by African children.
Noooo thank you. I matched with a girl with a picture like this once. One of the first things she asks is if I'm African (because of my name and well, me being black).
Been having good luck on dating apps, at least for a shorter guy like me. Main pet peeve is boring profiles on Hinge. The reason I like Hinge is because you get to answer interesting questions about yourself. Lot of women just add boring 1 word answers that boil down to food, Netflix, and hanging out. Then in conversation they expect me to do all the work. It doesn't happen that often, though.

It's very borderline basic especially the pics at Machu Picchu
fetishising race is low key almost on the same level as rejecting people for their race
Put a pic of Era on your profile and see how the ladies like it
True.
it's even sicker on a level as they love all the weird stereotypes.
I steer clear of any woman who would have something as tacky as "only into black guys" on her profile.
There's also some really overly negative profiles like "Prove to me you're not like the other douchebags on this app" and the "I'm ashamed I'm even on here"
So people who go to Machu Pichu are basic? Like, I think that's a pretty high bar. I've never been to Machu Pichu and I'm sure 99% of ResetEra hasn't either. A lot of folks need to actually realize that people do things and enjoy things. When you go, "It's basic to go to Machu Pichu" then it only confirms how extraordinary your standards are or you cannot realize that these are normal things most people want or would want to do.
User Banned (Permanent): Rationalizing Racism Over Multiple Posts in this Thread; Account in Junior Phase
So my white female friend who says she's only attracted to black guys because she finds dark skin so attractive is racist? Maybe I should drop her immediately and call the police.
It's done with tongue slightly in cheek
But It is a running theme on the dating apps in Vancouver. In fact I just saw three different profiles on Bumble with it in the background.
There other fave things the outdoors and dogs. All we needed was yoga and summer patio drinking to top it off
I mean come on haha
It's not racist, just a bit weird. I mean to her it probably sounds like a compliment.
But if a white guy said he finds black women really sexy because of their brown skin or an Asian woman because of their color, they would most rightly think the guy was a creeper fetishising them.
Oh no! People like exercising, being outside, and traveling! The horror! They seem like catches and all you can do is hate. You'd probably like yoga.
I actually do Yoga.
But so does everyone in Van, it's not a selling point :p
I also like the outdoors and occasional hiking escapades so does everyone else here. It's why we live here.
I like to hear stuff like what the last piece of art or music that sparked a feeling for them.
So instead of capitalizing on all these common interests, you find fault in them even though you do them? It seems they don't have to channel their inner Neo as you're not shooting accurately in the first place.
Instagram magnets. If your area has no culture for tourists give them something to take pictures of.
Not the mega hot one.
Yo so like I just started using these dating apps for the first time and yeah everything y'all say is spot on but holy shit I've seen a couple profiles already that have shit like "blue lives matter" in the description. Like holy shit what is this??? Like I appreciate you telling me I should stay far away but whaaaaat??? And I live in a beach town so its just bikini pics and "loving the beach" descriptions like we don't all love the fucking beach being we live next to the beach. Its funny.
"Must love dogs"...Who the fuck doesn't like dogs? Shit used to trigger me when I was in the game. 20 somethings have this weird obsession with dogs, like it's some special personality trait to love a dog.
I mean, I came across a Lot of Machu Pichu profiles when I was on last year. Like a few a day. To the point where I had to look at vacation packages and ticket prices to see if there was a fire sale or something. And I dated one or two if them, and was hoping they could tell me some cool Peru stories, maybe something they experienced being around that culture and community but nope, "just went there with friends and partied so hard, drank a lot etc" . (I live in Los Angeles too so different pool of women).
The same type of women like the generic wine and hiking. And the Disney Pass Holders I dated, we're Way too crazy about Disney. Like their homes had Disney shit everywhere. Everywhere. And they'd want to go to those parks as often as possible.
So it's not like I just make these judgments off non-experienced bias. I just know, have dated, and it was a waste of time. And I wasn't getting any younger haha.
For me their icebreakers really obscure myself and obscure the women I'm looking at. Maybe it's regional differences, but it seems as shallow as Bumble to me but with that neat "recommended" feature.
Wow, a bunch of sommeliers in here that are too cool for hiking and Machu Picchu. Must be neat!
Dogs love unconditionally if you feed them and won't ghost them after they've had sex.
But the damn near obsession some women have with them is scary. Fur babies, etc
Pictures with them kissing dogs in the mouth. Flat out nasty stuff.
Also the legendary " I'll probably like your dog more than you"
I think it's pretty ridiculous that anyone would cry wolf and call racism if an individual is not attracted to a certain race. Using that logic, you could argue somebody is sexist because they aren't attracted to a certain gender. Sexuality is something you can't really control.
Now, if you treat people of a different skin color than yours differently/poorly, that's grounds for racism.

The thing is like I feel women purposely make their profiles off-putting to prove how desperate us men are. Like "can you handle my clingyness/depression/daddy issues?" And we still swipe right anyway.
As much as I know Tinder is meant to be hooking up, I feel so sleazy looking at some of the profiles. Like, is this to get as many likes as possible or are you really that desperate for a bang that a pretty girl is resorting to Tinder to fuck a stranger?
I've taken a break for this reason, I was overthinking an app that involves swiping then making a shit chat up line to then eventually banging or ghosting.

So you hate when they know the punchline or hate when they give you a punchline that wasn't the direction you were going?
"A Pam looking for Jim"
"A Jim looking for Pam"
Always Surprised how often The Office shows up in profiles.

No, you can't use that logic. Thinking an entire race is unattractive is not a sexuality. It's learned. Whether you're gay, straight, bi, etc., that's something that you're born with. Homosexual is a well known and accepted term, for example. Have you ever heard of Whitesexual? Or Asiansexual? Anythingbutblacksexual?
Think about what a black person looks like. Like actually think about how many black people exist in the world, how varied and distinct black individuals around the world, hell, in one small corner of the world look from one another. You're really going to say you couldn't possibly be attracted to any one of them and that you wouldn't ever date one? If you're going to write off an entire race like that, then you are treating them differently and poorly.

Yeaaaaaah no.
For the record, I am attracted to all races, as long as the individual meets my standard for attraction, so this in no way applies to me.
But, sexuality is not a learned behavior, it is innate. Also true is that certain races of people have defined physical attributes. I'm not going to get into that convo because it wouldn't be productive listing off what they are, but to deny that claim is just false.
Knowing those two things, if a person is not attracted to certain physical features, that doesn't make them racist. It just means they aren't attracted to them. Period. End of story. No need to overthink this.
Now there's a big difference between thinking an entire race is unattractive versus not being attracted to a certain race. The former is rooted in negative biases on physicality - "All _______ are unattractive." - and believing it to be a general fact of life. The later is not racist and more along the lines of "I'M not attracted to ________."
I'm not going to lie, the moment someone mentions the office in their bio I immediately swipe left
I'm not going to get into a big thing with you about this because it's off topic but you completely missed my point. Of course sexuality is not learned. That's the thing though; race based sexuality does not exist. It's not a thing. And to believe that it is, is racist. It's why even you can't explain how it supposedly would work because you know it would sound racist if you "got into it."
Especially with all these different picture filters nowadays, it kinda does
