30 Times Dating Profiles Were So Horrible, They Had To Be Shamed Online
Looking for love is probably one of the toughest missions a hooman can set out on, apart from staying in love happily ever after. All jokes aside, the Pew Research data has shown that nearly half of U.S. adults – and a majority of women – say that dating has become harder in the last 10 years.
As if that wasn't enough, the worldwide pandemic and uncertain times we live in have made people reevaluate their dating priorities, as more singletons now read people’s bios on dating apps instead of just swiping based on looks. We all seek lasting connection, and a good dating bio can surely give you at least a distant prospect of it, right?
Well, except that a nice dating bio is not a common occurrence. On the contrary, people who’re in the dating scene keep coming up with introductions that are weird, questionable, arrogant, you name it. Below is a selection of the most eyebrow-raising ones that will make you wonder what on earth they were thinking!

She's Got A Point Though
To find out what a good online dating profile should sound like to give you real chances of finding your other half out there, as well as what mistakes to avoid in a bio, we spoke with Alex Wong. Wong is a professional copywriter and content strategist who “helps people capture more leads, traffic, and sales by 'hijacking' their prospects' minds with irresistible content.”
Among his many different copywriting services, Wong offers dating writing services for both men and women that he says will double people’s matches and dates. Whether you’re on OKCupid, Tinder, Match.com, POF, Bumble or Hinge, Wong will ghostwrite a compelling dating app profile that helps people get that coveted in-person date.
Part Of The Time-Honored Tradition Of Making A Dating Profile That Demands Everything And Provides Nothing
Alright Let’s Calm It Woman
Found On A Dating Site. Why Create A Profile When You Hate Women So Much?
Wong told us that some of the most common mistakes people make when writing their profile are just being bland and generic. “There is nothing that sets them apart from the thousands of other profiles. It's important to find ways to stand out and present yourself in an interesting way,” he explained.
Another common faux pas is failing to spend time thinking about what you want in a partner or relationship. “Your profile should clearly show what type of person and relationship you are looking for. This helps to attract your ideal prospects and filters out those who are poor matches.”
And Now His Bio Is Blank... Probably Cause He Realised No One Enjoys Seeing This
First Time I’ve Personally Come Across One Of These Trash Bios
This is one toxic person. If only he had gotten medication for his mental health.
Well, at least he's showing his true color from the beginning... And he's probably upset no one intrested.

A woman that was raped or abused doesn't need this piece of s**t anyway! She already had a hard life
[sarcasm on] Yeah because being raped is always a choice... [sarcasm off]. Though being raped can cause all kinds of mental issues since it is most likely a highly traumatic experience, holding it against someone and discarding them because of it, is a really shitty move, that will only make the problems biggers.
Truth is terrible but needed my friend edit: I'm saying in a round about way that your right (^_^;)

Sounds like he wants a model. And guessing he's fat himself. Hypocrite.

I was raped by my grandfather as a child and I can tell you I've met people like this who do not want to have anything to do with me because I've been raped. I've been called damaged and that they are no longer interested. I've got half way through explaining my past to guys (definitely not on first date, I waited until I was comfortable to share) who would put their hand up and say no they don't want to listen and I would quietly watch as any interested in me faded from that point onwards It's lonely as I find it hard to think anyone would ever want me or care to even listen but I would certainly rather be alone than with a guy like this Actually might make a tinder with a bio of "I'm a survivor of CSA and have complex-PTSD please don't contact me if this is an issue for you" It'll certainly weed out the bad ones!
That is so awful and sad. I’m so sorry you had to go through that, humanity can be so entitled 😔

Honestly while I can understand not knowing how to deal with trauma from number seven, I’m pretty sure he says that because he finds them ‘used’ or some c**p. Vile man.
heyy woah now wtf he gonna judge people that have been raped thats f****d on another level
He must use his experience in logistics to transport his oversized ego.
He doesn't want curvy women but he wants someone who isn't flat-chested/"no a**"? Man be lookin for a shapeshifter
The woman who is like "Ohhh I'm so perfect for him,,, except DAMMIT, I was r@ped"
I mean, if he's looking for a girl who has never had an non consented encounter with someone in her life I have a feeling he'll die alone.
I'm sorry...nobody that's been abused? Nobody on necessary medication? What is wrong with this guy?
But if I'm not on medication for my mental health, it's only a matter of time until I kill myself, so...
Like bro it's not her fault she was raped or in an abusive relationship, your the abusive one dummy
Quick! Someone give this out of touch douche a Barbie doll or a blowup doll, either one will suffice with his so called standards!
Da only one on dis list dat makes since is da alcoholic or drug addict...everything else is messed up
there is nothing wrong with you if you have ever been r@ped or in an abusive relationship. Like dude wtf?!?!?!?!?!
I love small breasted curvy girls with attitude. Send them my way! :)
if he ever gets a girlfriend that has his wants..he'll have to remember that at one point she'll turn 30
Well now. Okay. So there are YOUR requirements. What exactly are you OFFERING to the woman who passes all your tests? >crickets<
Tatts, have children, alcoholic or drug addict are fine. The others not quite so OGH he is being honest
Well known fact....... Sexy nurse sexy traffic officer or sexy policewoman....or sexy this that the other doesn't turn me on!!
I like how this guy thinks there might be females that would actually want to date him after advertising this information.
What woman on earth could possibly respond positively to lists like so many of these guys have here?
He does realize he just cancelled out 97% of the female population after the boring part
When I was on dating sites, I was always relieved when they put all their a-hole requests right up front like that...saved me time trying to figure them out.
One can honestly not feel attracted to overweight or underweight people. That's fine. But how one expresses this, is another matter. See, how I managed to explain that? Instead of saying "you dumbass, how can you not get it!?"? And *that* is the difference.

“Another common issue I see with profiles is poor quality photos. Their photos are blurry, poorly lit, with bad angles, etc. It’s important to include a variety of interesting photos to show prospects who you are and what you have to offer,” Wong explained.
Well That's Interesting
“Women Hate Good Men Like Me”
Can't Imagine How He's Still Single
Your profile is one of the most important aspects when it comes to determining your success online, Wong argues. “Since prospects can’t see you in person, they can only rely on your profile to determine whether you're worth getting to know you better. And you only have a second to do this.”
“Besides your profile, your texting skills, getting matches engaged, setting updates, and filtering poor matches are also critical,” he added.

Awwww the racist, incel virgin. My goodness what a catch. In a couple years he’ll be proud of this conservative values too
The Choosing Beggars Of Tinder
When it comes to the main features of a good dating profile, Wong said that it should have an engaging, well-written bio/prompts and a good collection of photos. “When writing your profile, spend some time thinking about what you have to offer and what you are looking for in a partner. Think about interesting traits, hobbies, and experiences that you can include in your bio.”
Wong also suggests having at least 4-6 great photos. “Generally, it's best to include a mix of pictures showing different aspects of yourself. Avoid putting photos together that are too similar, and save sunglasses photos for the end. It's also best to use not more than 1 selfie and 1 group photo.”
Just Went On Tinder And Saw This Bio... Well I Am No Cute Girl But Holy, That's A Very Nice Idea Xd
Good news! They just found a better treatment for cryoaudiovascularmalexia (CAVM). A regular (2-3/days) application of a cricket bat on your family jewls. The cricket bat must generate an impact in the range of 3500-4700N. A good thing is that there are no requirements regarding the person who applies the treatment: men, women, cute, not cute... even cows could do the job. Don't need to say thanks.
I'll Laugh At How You Think Your Opinion Matters
I’m On A Dating App With Fake Name And Pictures And I Super Liked You But I Expect You To Talk To Me First!
Wong also shared a couple of general rules for photos:
- Be sure to smile;
- Include your hobbies and activities;
- Minimal group shots;
- Minimal selfies;
- Minimal sunglasses photos;
- Only photos within the last 2-3 years.

I'm Not Even Sure What To Say Abt This Bio
Having said that, Wong also reminds everyone to remember that online dating takes time. “Although dating apps have made it easier to meet people, it has also increased the level of competition. Anyone can sign up for an account. I think people expect instant results when this isn’t the case,” he said.
Moreover, according to the professional copywriter, “users should constantly be testing and tweaking aspects of their bio, photos, texts, etc. to see what works. You can’t expect to get results if you don’t put in the work.”
Guy Uses Tinder Like He's Ordering A Mail Order Bride
@Joonscrab. I fully agree with you. I signed in just to update you and to comment this. So, this is my first comment in this site. Before down voting me, please understand I'm a woman who has lived my whole life in india. I know western countries have "incels" but most of the men here are just the same. Most of them don't know how to cook, or clean. Those living in hostels , bring clothes to their home to get washed. In most families men goes to work and come back and relax, while women goes to work after finishing house chores, taking care of kids, and cooking, and come back to do the same. There is no concept of me time for women. No sexual freedom. No dressing freedom. There are men who are not like this. But they are not just less common, but rare. I wish my country will become less narrow minded atleast in another few decades

How I Feel When People Stand Too Closely
When my husband comes home I'm giving him the biggest hug, so he knows how much I appreciate him, and that I have someone in my life who I met organically (not through an app) and that I never have to go through a list like this again, except for entertainment! (My brother and sister in law met online, so it does work, but it took them a very long time)

Hear me out the no fat chicks crowd....women come in all sizes. At least you're upfront about what you don't want but there are some lovely women out there who weigh more that 115 pounds. And if you do find a small woman who is to say she won't gain weight? Dress, pregnancy, medication, hormones, life etc can all lead to weight gain. And how much do you weigh dude?
To be honest i don't think most of them know what 115 or even 130 looks like on a grown woman. Either they want someone very short or a child.

I'm not sure which is worse, the overly bitter ones, the entitled and delusional ones, or the painfully desperate ones. Yikes.
Wow. Some of these people really ask for the perfect human. Better off with a real doll. And it's absolutely scary how many say "no feminists". That speaks a lot of the world.
They don't even know what feminism is, they just mean "no women smarter than me". Which leaves the field barren.

Damn... and I mean DAYUM. On the bright side, at least these people are still looking for a partner and won't be breeding soon. Odds are a few will fall through the cracks and find themselves someone desperate enough to shag them.
A lot of men deserve to have their peni (plural of penis) lopped off. This is embarrassing to me just how bad other men can and do act.
The plural of "penis" is "penises". Latin has different declensions and they don't all pluralise the same way.

What's wrong with number 32???? Because he rides a bike? I'd date him.
Mostly delusional people who will never find their perfect mate because that fantasy doesn't exist. Also a lot of angry "nice guys" who apparently aren't getting any because of their attitude, not because of the "friend zone." They don't want a relationship anyway, they just want sex.
i honestly dont get why people have strict rules on who they swipe like: no small boobs, small waste, cat be fat, has to be a 10/10, will do whatver i say. like all i want is a woman that will love me and be there for me i can care less about weight, height, and background
honestly scrolled through this just to make sure mine wasn't on here (it's not) ~whew~
It's ok to have a type and maybe not want certain heights or hair colours. But that's for YOU to filter for yourself, not let that person find you
Also, many of these apps let you filter out people who have a certain height, age, education status etc.
