    Whether you’re looking for a quick hook up or for a long term relationship, these are the top Don’ts of online dating. Doing any of the below will almost guaranteed to get you a left swipe.

    Women:

    “Shouldn’t you be driving your car, rather than taking up-the nose selfies and posting them to your profile? PS – you have a BAT IN THE CAVE!” – Jessa, 30


    “Bathroom photos should be blocked entirely from the online dating-sphere. Filthy mirror? Check. Toilet seat up in the back? Check. I see you use Old Spice and Crest toothpaste. Check. Were you even in the photo? I missed that looking at the filth in your mis-fired mirror selfie.” – Hilary, 22

    “Lions and tigers and bears – OH NO! If I want to see you with animals, I will ask to go to the zoo for our first date. You look like a tool petting that tranquilized cat.” – Josie, 25

    “Men who pose with cars (especially NOT their own) are covering up for what we cannot see in the photo. Sorry…the truth hurts.” – Jenn, 28

    “For the love of all things good in this world – STOP posting photos of you doing push-ups over your iPhone, flexing in the gym mirror and posing sweaty in the locker room après workout with your towel way too low. Just click “working out” as a hobby. We will get the picture” – Madison, 35

    Gym selfie
    “This might sound like the biggest contradiction in the world, because I have taken photos like this…but there is something about a man posing for a sexy selfie on his pillow, in his bed that, gives me INSOMNIA (and indigestion).”– Paige, 40

    bed
    “I once came across a man who posted 11 photos…they were all of him in a public bathroom wearing a variety of fluorescent ‘banana hammocks’…he was even wearing a backpack in one. He didn’t get a date, but I did forward all 11 pics to my entire contact list.” – Julie, 30

    Men:

    “If it looks like a duck. It’s a duck.” – Ralph, 30

    duck face
    “You post images of yourself half naked and in some cases almost completely naked. Then you get angry with me when I respond in a sexual manner. You wonder why I don’t respect you? REALLY? I might be a nice guy, but I am still a man.” – John, 31

    sexy pose
    “I would love to say you are pretty, but I cannot see your actual face through all that war paint.” – Sean, 24

    too much makeup
    “In the fine words of Ross Geller from Friends – “you rambled on for 18 pages – FRONT AND BACK”. I fell asleep reading your War and Peace novel of a profile.” – Andrew, 35
    “Your cats are really cute. NOT.”– Max, 30

    cat lady
    “Do I get to date ALL 20 of you in the photos you posted? I can’t tell which one is you, but I’m ok with the polygamy thing.” – Charles, 22

    girls in group
    Stop asking me my height and my salary. The next time you do, I am asking you your weight and bust/waist/ hip measurement. Yeah – I thought so…” – Ethan, 29
