10 Phrases You Shouldn’t Use In Your Online Dating Profile [LIST]
Because what does it really mean to be "easygoing."
Last week I spent the week on Tinder, you know so I could learn everything and pass it on to you guys. So it was pretty fitting that this morning I ran across an article titled "How NOT to describe yourself on an online dating website."
I talked last week about how to make a great profile, what to include and what to leave out and this article took that to the next level, identifying ten of the worst phrases to use in your profile.
I completely agree with numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. So it looks like they did a pretty good job! I'm especially irritated by #3... you enjoy nights in and nights out? Is there a third option you don't enjoy?
I'm fine with #1 and #5, because well, I also love laughing and I'm not really a travel junkie so I'm not super interested in someone who is about to jump on a ship or a plane every other day. So for me that's a little bit of a red flag that I want to know ahead of time. The word junkie probably shouldn't be in your profile at all... unless it's about coffee or ketchup. I'm cool with that.
On second thought I should keep my ketchup junkie-ness to myself.
Here's the list from the Daily Mail, what do you think?
- "I'm a real travel junkie."
- "I'm easygoing."
- "I enjoy nights in and nights out."
- "Looking for my partner in crime."
- "I love laughing."
- "Work hard but play harder."
- "I'm searching for my soulmate."
- "I'm a little bit crazy."
- "I'm looking for my knight in shining armor."
- "I'm a nice guy."
