My friend (M) is attractive and rejects 90% of his dating matches. What do you think of his checklist?
Question PodMy friend (lets call him B ) rejects like 90% of the girls he receives likes from and its honestly quite insane. He has somewhere around 300+ likes on Bumble and gets ~5 likes from Hinge every day.
He is mid 30s, above average height, above average income and good looking.
These are the girls he rejects:
- Girls looking for money / financial slave
- So basically there are a lot of girls (on Hinge especially) that imply they are looking for someone with high earning power
- They have things like "The way to win me over is to buy me a coffee on the first date" or "Looking for someone that buys me a gift every other day" or "looking for someone to support me financially"
- What he said: "Instant reject, I want someone to date me for me and not for my money. These materialistic people are usually looking for like a financial slave and they expect the guy to pay for everything"
- Too many travel pics
- I think its controversial but he swears by it
- What he said: "If 5 of the 6 profile pictures are basically travel pics, it implies the girl probably has no personality"
- Solo travelling
- What he said: "if you're independent enough to solo travel often then I don't think you will make a good partner. Why are you even looking for a relationship?"
- University level
- What he said: "Not an instant reject but I prefer someone who values education. Doesn't matter what uni tbh, got uni can liao"
- People that use abbreviations for their names:
- If they use something like "S", "A", "B" for their name, etc
- What he said: "They're the biggest time wasters on the app. They expect to text for long periods of time before committing to a date."
- People who mention height expectations or height preferences
- What he said: "gross af, people can't change their height"
- People who take too long to reply
- He told me 24 hour maximum for a response
- What he said: "you can spend your day doing whatever but at least respond within 24 hours. If you don't, you're probably not looking for a partner seriously so it's a pass from me."
- Too old
- What he said: "Not a hard reject if she's a bit older BUT if she is older and has some of the other red flags I mentioned then its an instant reject."
- People who say they are ambitious (usually doctors and lawyers from his experience)
- What he said: "these people damn intense. Also, why the fuck do you want me to date you if you're going to put your career above me?"
What he said: "IDK man, I think dating is hard especially in SG. Some of these girls that try to match me genuinely lack self awareness and put ridiculous things in their profile. Oh well, I would rather be single then have a bad partner"
IMO, some of his criteria are quite controversial but what do you guys think? I think the dating market is fucked LMAO
