It’s tough getting through your already busy schedule on most days. You always question, ‘who has the time to date?’ Luckily there are plenty of apps you can download to your mobile phone where you can scroll through photos of guys and gals near you at your convenience. But before you can do that, you have to set-up a profile that will attract the type of person you’d like to date. You have to be very careful though with the words that you choose as they could potentially turn off a potential suitor, according to a recent Reddit thread.
Phrases to Avoid When Online Dating
Men and women chimed in as to what words or phrases make them swipe left to avoid meeting those people. So take advantage of these tips when writing your profile. If you already have a profile up online, give it a look over for any of these phrases.
- ‘I’m a princess’ or ‘I want to be treated as a princess’- This sets off an alert that you might be high maintenance. Unless you’re on a Sugar Baby website, then this might work just fine!
- ‘Are there any good men left?’- This statement makes you sound jaded. One Reddit user says, “all your “crazy exes” have one thing in common: you!”
- ‘I’m fluent in sarcasm so if you can’t deal don’t bother’- This tells most guys that you’re either rude or don’t even know what sarcasm means.
- ‘I probably hate you’- Is this really how you want to start a conversation? Put yourself in the other person’s shoes.
- ‘All my friends say I’m crazy’- “You and your friends are probably extremely dull,” a Redditor commented.
- ‘I’m high maintenance”- Hi, I want you to spend all your money on me.
- ‘I like the finer things in life’- Also an alert for a high maintenance person or “gold digger” as a Reddit poster commented. Work hard to get the things you want in life, don’t expect others to give them to you.
- ‘I don’t like drama’- Definitely means you love drama.
- ‘Message me, I won’t talk first’- Why are you even on here?!
- ‘Live, laugh, love’- Really? Who doesn’t?
