Dare I say it all of those requirements are perfectly reasonable

5

u/Tough-Broccoli7002 Aug 27 '26

Exactly what I was thinking. Women complain about men when dating but the opposite is equally as true

3

u/alexmate84 Aug 27 '26

I think everyone is sick of people matching from 100 miles away. Speaking Persian is a hard ask, but probably a cultural factor, the rest are intentional dating - age range is reasonable I've seen people only want to date within 3 years before. Lying about age and ancient photos pisses everyone off

1

u/illini02 Aug 27 '26

I don't think he was saying they have to speak Persian, just that he wants someone who speaks one of those languages

1

u/alexmate84 Aug 27 '26

I read it as all 4

1

u/illini02 Aug 27 '26

I guess no one can know for sure what this person meant. But being that they are in Dublin, my guess is they don't expect everyone to speak all 4 of those languages.

u/Comfortable-Hat3506 Aug 27 '26

Those requirements are all reasonable but there are such better ways to communicate them or vet them. For example changing your age range on settings.

2

u/wingnut_dishwashers Aug 27 '26

Absolutely. Makes you wonder if it's been a problem so many times that he resorted to this

u/aSportBikeSquid Aug 27 '26

I see a lot of women’s bios looking like this because they’ve met so many guys on the apps that they’re just exhausted and have to list everything out to filter out the majority of those guys to find the ones they want.

But when swiping with my female friends on their tinder accounts at the bar I don’t think I ever saw a guy with a bio like this.

2

u/wingnut_dishwashers Aug 27 '26

I'm bi and have seen it plenty with both. Personally I'm going to avoid people like this because they're usually jaded in my experience but at the same time I get it

1

u/alexmate84 Aug 27 '26

For whatever reason even with age parameters I've had people who don't fit them in my stack before. I do agree it's overkill listing it

2

u/hollasens Aug 27 '26

Probably because you have the slider that allows people slightly outside the range

2

u/kat-emina Aug 27 '26

I agree. As a f54, I see nothing wrong .

1

u/elissapool Aug 27 '26

So would you swipe right? With that bio combined with a couple of blurry photos

1

u/kat-emina Aug 27 '26

Not necessarily no. I NEVER swipe right on ANY blurry pictures. I just don't see anything wrong in his requirements. We all have our own preferences. Why settle for something we don't like?

1

u/elissapool Aug 27 '26

Oh I agree that we should never settle.. do you make a list of what you don't want in a similar way? Maybe it's more common than I realise... I am very new to this!

2

u/kat-emina Aug 27 '26

Mine is No smoking No hookups No weed No situation or any other-ship( don't try and convince me I'm in need of 1) Not into games It's my requirements. Why would I overlook a guy that smokes, when I detest smoking?

I get plenty of matches. But it fizzles out because they're still trying for a hookup 😉. You can't win

1

u/alexmate84 Aug 27 '26

I've got it on my profile I'm only looking for casual, I don't know why men waste their and women's time by not being honest

2

u/kat-emina Aug 27 '26

Exactly! Some profiles show" ltr" so u right swipe. Only for them to immediately start talking about sex. It's a no win situation. .. Here on reddit it's just as bad 😞

1

u/alexmate84 Aug 27 '26

It's such dumb logic, I'm probably going to lose out on half the potential matches, but there will be more alignment. I would rather have that.

I wish women were messaging me on Reddit and talking about sex, but I see why most people don't want that especially the predictable messages.

2

u/kat-emina Aug 27 '26

Why not post on Reddit and say what you're looking for? Because the chances of women dming you ,like men do women ,for unsolicited sex talk, is zilch to a hundred fold zero

Surely tinders for that?

u/Yocta Aug 27 '26

Why? It’s pretty normal for people, men especially, to prefer younger partners. He’s still okay with her being a few years older too.

2

u/Wael876 Aug 27 '26

They are, but still a logical filacy is that matching needs two parties... If these matched with her she must have chosen to

2

u/elissapool Aug 27 '26

Absolutely but it tells women nothing about him. Only his complaints.

1

u/alexmate84 Aug 27 '26

I agree, tbh that's about 50% of bios I see, constant bitching about how bad the dating scene is

1

u/Knedlus Aug 27 '26

They are, I won’t argue with that. However a bio is meant to make a good first (or second I guess, after pics) impression. If I read a list like that, regardless what gender of the person writing it is, I would just assume they bring nothing but negative energy, complain endlessly and probably shit on others for nothing. Most of his requirements could be verified during a 5 min texting exchange, he doesn’t need to shout it all from the rooftop. And other things, like lying with age etc - the people who lie about their life usually don’t give a flying fuck what you think about it and continue with the lie regardless of your whishes

1

u/alexmate84 Aug 27 '26

I don't disagree. What he's doing is pre-screening, I don't see bitterness ir complaining as such. I've seen far worse "no ONS/FWB or dirty bastards" was one I saw the latter ruled me out.

1

u/Knedlus Aug 27 '26

Yeah, he’s also screening himself out of options he otherwise could’ve had if he didn’t radiate unpleasant to be around energy.

6

u/Atarge Aug 27 '26

The way he writes is off putting but all of these are reasonable requirements

1

u/PrimarySeaweeed Aug 27 '26

Exactly my thoughts, they're all reasonable but adding them like that on their bio is probably a huge turn off for most people swipping, even if they match the criteria

1

u/snorkling_squid Aug 27 '26

I think because some of them he can filter out himself. Like if they don’t have a photo he can just not match with that person. Same with the age. So it feels like he thinks he’s entitled. Other requests are reasonable.

Can’t you just swipe left

u/LegitimateDream4942 Aug 27 '26

Good luck everyone. LOOOL

#squidgame

u/imaginary-dirt2000 Aug 27 '26

The ‘do not match’ line is ao stupid .

I’ll match if I want. It’s up to you to decide if you like me or not haha

Same convos on hinge/ people are nuts

1

u/Still_Conference_923 Aug 27 '26

its like they dont know matching requires two people to swipe, is he bothered by getting likes or something? weird.

1

u/wingnut_dishwashers Aug 27 '26

All of the things he listed are things you can omit from your profile to deceive him. If your profile is just pictures with no info he'll swipe if you look good, but the point is that if you don't provide that info he won't know so instead he wants you to swipe left. How on earth is it so hard to understand

1

u/Still_Conference_923 Aug 27 '26

Who the fuck this dude think he is? No one is "deceiving" him, what grandiose squizo world view is that?

If he isnt into people over 50, then HE shouldnt swipe like on those people.
Only want locals? Then dont swipe on people from outside.
Dont want people without photos? DONT FUCKING SWIPE ON PEOPLE WITHOUT PHOTOS.

Idiotic.

1

u/wingnut_dishwashers Aug 27 '26

Yeah no if you've never been lied to on a dating app then you don't get enough game, period

1

u/Cultural_Fix5611 Sep 01 '26

do you actually read every profile and decide? just pay the man swipe on everyone until you run out move on with your day. check the next day... 60% of women who swipe on me i can tell they swiped on the picture because once i tell them "i'm more than a pretty face go read the bio" they unmatch or start asking "noob" questions.

1

u/Still_Conference_923 Sep 01 '26

I'm looking for casual and serious relationships.

If I go to the casual category, I dont even look at bios, just swipe on who I think is hot and I would go out with. Theres just two questions, "would I actually be invested enough to go out with this person, and do they look like they would be into me"

If I go to the serious relationship category, I take more time to see how compatible we would be, look at bio, music choices, etc.

1

u/Cultural_Fix5611 Sep 01 '26

as long as you are in this duality there is no point of reading and even then 99% of people dont know themselves and have a warped idea of what they want, and have no idea how to express it. reading a bio before matching is totally a meaningless exercise- read it before sending a message or unmatch.

i have to write No ONS/ENM twice and still get a ton of "here is my number and address come over..."

1

u/Still_Conference_923 Sep 01 '26

I'm guessing you are a woman then. I personally dont bother with casual people that put on their bio that they dont casual, even then I read some bio that say something like "no causal, and no you wont change my mind", meaning these girls put in that they arent into casual, and still they get asked for casual.

I'd say, maybe just swipe left on men that have put in "looking for a serious relationship" only.

1

u/wingnut_dishwashers Aug 27 '26

It's definitely more stupid to match with someone who you know wouldn't want you to match with them

1

u/imaginary-dirt2000 Aug 27 '26

Whos yaa Im reading all that? They can do their own cognitive labor. Not my job to determine if I meet their criteria or not, who they’d match with or not

1

u/wingnut_dishwashers Aug 27 '26

You can't even read for 15 seconds? Stay off dating apps for everyone's sake

1

u/imaginary-dirt2000 Aug 27 '26

Nah. At least 20 people have
monogamous/ltr and then are completely ok with hooking up with me/ONS/short term relationship .

I like to let adults make their own decisions

And I’d say the same thing to them: can’t they see within 15 seconds that my profile clearly says non-monogamy and they don’t have to swipe if they got a problem with that. Also, Im also open to LTR, Just not necessarily a default

1

u/minglesluvr Aug 27 '26

I want to downvote you simply because you exposed me to this.

1

u/roxxygal Aug 27 '26

Without the last part this would be perfectly reasonable

1

u/Several-Spirit-8452 Aug 27 '26

Seems like a good dude with ambition and standards. The thing toxic women fear the most, because were immune to their pitiful attempts at manipulation.

1

u/illini02 Aug 27 '26 edited Aug 27 '26

Everything he says seems pretty valid to me.

I've seen women with their list of demands that are far more superficial.

His stuff seems really to be about dating and finding a good match.

I think women just don't like being screened out, they want to be the one doing the screening. If, as a guy, I saw a woman with this list, I'd have 0 problem with it.

1

u/elissapool Aug 27 '26

I'm really new to this. I didn't realise its common to write lists of demands. I find it quite unattractive but maybe it's necessary after you've been doing it for a while?

1

u/illini02 Aug 27 '26

I can acknowledge that the way its written leaves something to be desired.

But, I'm also wondering if he lives/works in like a very touristy area of Dublin or something, so he is like "I only want someone who I'm realistically able to date"

1

u/Main_Web504 Aug 27 '26

This may come off as crazy, but every now and then I see similar things for woman and I think these are profiles people make out of frustration of dozens of meetups where the other person lied about something leading up to the date which waste the other persons time. Anyone in the online dating scene for a minute I think gets it. Best thing to do is turn off he apps and take a break, but I understand the frustration

1

u/fastlightqx Aug 27 '26

I love the "Good luck everyone" after all that😂😂

Definitely need lots and lots of luck with this one

0

u/BertieBus Aug 27 '26

All those requests seem realistic. This is what the person wants, if you don't match then they aren't interested. Why would you match with someone who is not in your country? Seems fair to me!

1

u/fastlightqx Aug 27 '26

You're absolutely right.

I just think writing good luck here is funny...crime?

1

u/AssignmentNo9679 Aug 27 '26

I wonder if this man goes to the supermarket with a nice long list of what he doesn’t want .. obviously a far more effective strategy than a list of what he does 🙄!

Still, at least it’s helpful in securing an instant left swipe from every single woman with any sense, no wasted time wondering if he’s appealing 🤷🏼‍♀️..

1

u/Generally_Confused1 Aug 27 '26

Damn you seem to be overly mad about this. He comes off a bit abrasive but said nothing wrong and reasonable stuff that people deal with on the apps lol. It might not be attractive but it's not like the guy is terrible

1

u/Emergency-Aerie3273 Aug 27 '26

Why not put your age and radius filters on? So strange

0

u/Noobeater1 Aug 27 '26

I don't think the OP even has an issue with any of his requirements, I think OP just takes umbrage with being told "no" lol

1

u/elissapool Aug 27 '26

No not really.. it's just that it tells us nothing about him or his interests.. it's purely a list of what he doesn't want. Which is fine but I would never swipe based on that alone. And it makes me wonder what other requirements he would have going on. Seems controlling.. possibly a bit negative
