I don’t look like this every day but first impressions are important
Y’all keep saying the man of my dreams is not going to come knocking on my door, and you might be right but he is also not on these dating apps. Dating apps are TRASH for me. I know people who have found love and are so happy. Yet I’m just over here sending screenshots to my friends and then swiping left.
With that being said, I thought today was a good time to update my don’t list and I’m sharing screenshots. Only the text because it could be someones uncle, cousin or brother. I also wish I could say these are things I know secondhand. Nope, these things have come up while swiping.
Don’t
If we match don’t DM me and just say “Hi” Bruh you are late 30’s to mid 40’s (my age range) and all you can say is Hi. We are ADULTS.
If you are not good at selfies, ask a friend to take a pic for you and clean your camera. These dusty pics…I can’t.
Take pics in front of “your” material things. Most grown women do not care about that.
I am not the grammar police by any means, but at least separate your sentences or use a period or two.
Say what now
Say you can’t post pics here but will meet me outside. Dude…one pic at least.
Make up a profession. We can tell they are made up. Honesty is the best policy.
Say swipe right for more info. Show some personality!
Post group pics. We don’t know you man.
Have a pic by your refrigerator wide open and it looks like a liquor store with no food. I’m not against drinking, but come on. That’s not cute.
Quit being so angry. You don’t even know us yet. Being rude, off the bat is just crazy.
Why are you so angry? Who hurt you man?
Have a pic with you and other women. Especially if you all are all hugged up. Could it be a mom or sister? Sure. But how am I supposed to know that?
Have the jail as your background…This is not Love After Lockup.
Post pics grabbing your junk…grow up. Ugh.
Don’t call people on the site desperate in your text because guess what you are on here too DOUCHE BAG.
Post pics of you holding money, throwing money, etc. no one cares. Again, you are a GROWN MAN.
Take the conversation offline and get super weird in the first text conversation. Examples: sending voice memos singing Club Nouveau’s song “Rumor”, stating “we go together now,” etc. News Flash…that’s a turn off.
Just why Lord why? Who said we wanted to pay your bills? I can’t..
Do
Have multiple pictures. Give us options. Example: One with a hat, one without etc.
Write something about yourself. It doesn’t have to be long, but say something. Make it clever, funny.
Post pics of you only. Unless you have kids. But make sure and add that in your summary about yourself.
Pick your best pics. First impressions are everything.
I’m no expert, but I have swiped a while now…mainly left because of the don’ts. I need Jesus to give me a sign if my future husband is out here on these sites because honey I’m over it. If you are out here trying online dating or have tried it share your do’s and don’ts.
Thanks for reading,
