Don’t put the following in your profile:

*“If you want to know, just ask!” *“Please don’t be boring.” *“No hookups!” *“BLM” *“Just here because I’m curious.” *“Don’t waste my time.” *"Trumpers, swipe LEFT."

With most dating apps, you can list why you’re on the app, IE: something casual, relationship, etc. I understand that the ratio of women to men is insane and that women get flooded with matches, but things like the above seem WAY too gatekeepy and it’s a major turn off in my opinion.

Also, it’s great to be passionate about Black Lives Matter, but that’s not a personality trait unless you’re literally leading a movement and own a 501(c)3 and it’s what you do for a living.

Don’t wear a mask in any of your photos. I don’t care about what you look like with a mask on, I care about what YOU look like.

*Don’t use filters in any of your photos. *Don’t use dog / animal face filters. *Don’t use photos if you hanging out with friends for more than one photo. *Don’t just have a single sentence or random quote as your bio— that tells me nothing about you. *Don’t list a 4 letter acronym for personality types and expect me to understand what it means. Those personality tests are based on random online quizzes and literally don’t mean anything.

Be descriptive about the type of music you like and what your hobbies are. I'm talking about your ACTUAL hobbies and what you normally do...not what you WANT to do or wished you did in your free time. When you’re not working, what do you do for fun?

If work or your career is a major part of your life, explain why and provide some context about what you do and why you enjoy it.

If you have children, be upfront and honest about that. Children are a major dealbreaker for a lot of individuals due to the implied responsibility and lifestyle you’re willing to live.
