Another huge turn-off is the use of Snapchat-like filters on photos– such as stars, hearts, and dog ears.
“Every single time I see a twenty-something-year-old woman with those weird filters, I am always wondering what the hell she was thinking. Is she really trying to attract a guy?” wrote one man. Yikes!
And aside from photos, inadequate bios also tick men off– such as those that only include a few words highlighting generic interests like “family” and “music.”
“I have tried to talk to these types of women, but they tend to be most likely to respond with one-word answers and not ask any questions in return,” one man said.
Finally, being “overly negative” is also typically a bad sign.
“If your entire profile is listing what you don’t want– especially if you also fail to talk about yourself– just comes off like you are full of it,” chimed in one user.
The best piece of advice the men provided? Basically, don’t try too hard. Include a variety of photos– without unnecessary filters– and describe what you are genuinely interested in.
And honestly, this being true-to-yourself advice is pretty great.
