With online dating, you have to be able to make snap decisions about someone while only having a tiny bit of information about them from their profile. To do that, it helps to know what makes you automatically nope out. A Reddit post has people talking about this by asking, “What’s the weirdest dating requirement you have?”
Thousands of people are sharing their weird and not-so-weird requirements and these are some of the top responses:
- "You have to at least appreciate frogs a little. If you dislike frogs, I'm not interested."
- "I have to catch them snoring at least once. If I don't, I will be sad because snoring is so cute."
- "My wife said she wouldn't swipe right on anyone with a gym pic or dog because she didn't want to get up on a weekend morning with a hangover and need to do stuff."
- "Not having the same name as my sister or my mom. Alternatively, my name is unisex, and a girl with my name is a turn-on 🤷🏻♂️."
- "If you eat all my pickles and put the empty jar back in the fridge, I’m breaking up with you."
- "Probably an unpopular one, but no dogs. I don't like them and cannot live with them. It's just not going to work."
- "No flip-flops on dudes."
- "He should be as smart as/smarter than I am. There's no bigger turn off than a guy who is noticeably dumber, and there's nothing hotter than a guy who is particularly intelligent."
- "Not sure how weird it is, but my rule is that I pay for myself every step of the way until we decide to become a couple, then we can split the bills or take turns treating each other, etc., if that is what we both choose."
- "I never swiped right on anyone with a fishing pic. I love fishing, but if your main pic shows you holding a fish, then you're super basic to me. Every other dude is holding a fish in their profile, and I want something unique."
- "Your playlist has to have some whiplash to it (e.g., two or more genres that are a rare combination, like Slipknot and Carly Rae Jepsen)."
- "No picky eaters. It’s okay if you’re not a foodie, but I like to cook, and if you won’t give my food a chance, it’s not gonna work out."
- "I can’t date anybody who uses the phrase, 'Work hard, play hard!'"
