I’m 5'8" barefoot and said so in dating profiles. I’ve met up with men whose profiles said they were 6' but I was looking them dead in the eye in my flats. Like, do you think I don’t know what 6' looks like? One dude claimed 6' but he was actually SHORTER than I am. Friend. 5'6” is not 6'. You got greedy.

I disagree with all this OKCupid is for real dating and Tinder is for fucking crap. You’re drawing imaginary lines and people say they follow them but come on, they just don’t. There are plenty of people on OKCupid who use it just to get laid and plenty of people who want something more on Tinder. I know because I’ve…

I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE YOU ARE. ARE YOU THE GUY WITH THE GOATEE OR THE GUY WITH THE NICE HAIR OR THE GUY WITH THE CAPRIS!? TELL ME!

My advice is to cut down on the convos - I typically talk to someone for no more than three days before either asking them out or pulling out my new “So when are we gonna hang out” because I’ve recently become really passive aggressive? I don’t want a text buddy and you find out real quick in person if its gonna work…

I do not get it. But there are some other things I find just as offensive, like the Wayne Gretzky quote “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” That’s not philosophical and ew how did that quote become so pervasive or am I just surrounded by weirdos?!

The selfie in the car?!?!?! Ugh, I totally second that. Also, maybe it’s a Minnesota thing but I don’t want to see you with a fucking fish! If I made a list of a thousand things that I care about and are interested in, a mans prowess in dangling a hook in the water to catch a fish would not even make the list. And…

I find that I see most of the same guys on all dating sites. I’m checking out bumble and seeing a lot of the same guys I see everywhere else. some new though...

I just cannot fuck off the internet. I can’t do it. I gotta catch my dick in the wild.

Also: clean your fucking bathroom/mirror and put the damn toilet down if you are taking a bathroom selfie. This also applies to selfies taken in a bedroom mirror. YOUR ROOM IS A MESS. I have never seen a tidy bedroom selfie.

So many dudes giving middle fingers. I’m not against flipping people off, but there should be a purpose. A photo that you use for a dating profile is not the right time! There needs to be mote context otherwise it looks desperate to be edgy and it’s so fucking dumb. You’re not macho for flipping off the camera jackass.

Lit professors or guys who haven’t read a book since high school.

The best is when they’re all group pics and you can’t tell who is actually the person the profile belongs to.

All the men my age on dating websites are basically the same guy. They all have facial hair and they claim their favorite book is The Great Gatsby.

I am on bumble and they have policy: kids are great do not post pics of kids Which i agree

I disagree. Someone can put lots of lovely (probably stolen) words down that I will buy into. But the pictures someone chooses to post? Those tell you so much. For instance, why would you post a picture of a motorcycle? Not you on a motorcycle, just a motorcycle. Or pictures of children? I’m not dating your toddler!…

dating is hard and it sucks and on all of these apps/sites you end up having the same introductory conversations over and over and no one has time or energy to meet for a drink after work and this shit is exhausting.

I’m loving that this thread has essentially split into two, and that dispersed between a fight about symbolism in literature, there are periodic musings on how and if one could purchase human remains.

MD here. I promise I’m actually a good one and ALSO I actually had diagnosed Lyme disease as a kid, and got normal antibiotics. I have never met an MD who thinks that chronic Lyme has any real basis in medical fact, or as close to fact as you can get in medicine.

Medicine and the human body are weird. If something works for you, then it works for you and I’m glad you figured out something that made you better. My problem lies in insurance costs that come from unnecessary testing. Thyroid function, Lyme disease, celiac. All of these cost money to the system. And few people…

As a med student, I’ve already seen enough patients coming in requesting to get checked for Lyme for all their vague symptoms. Welcome to the new gluten allergy.
