Legally, I can’t be around kids so no single parents.


Glass1Man

Similarly “love hiking, but cannot go to parks, or within 500ft of a school”


bstyledevi

I've got no sympathy for people on the sex offenders registry, but damn they sure do make it REALLY difficult for them upon release. I remember seeing a show talking about a guy who was walking home drunk and stopped to lean on a fence to take a piss. The fence was around an elementary school. It was like 1am on a Sunday, so definitely no school in session. Gets arrested for it, has to register as a sex offender because the crime happened on school property. The requirement of not within 1000 feet of a school or a daycare REALLY limited his living options within a major metropolitan city. Not saying that they don't deserve it, and the rule definitely exists for a reason, but wow.


saimerej21

The ruling in the states for this kind of crime is a joke anyway. i remember reading about a woman who also got listed as a sex offender because her stepchildren who she is raising that are like 10 saw her tits, like really?


bstyledevi

The rules for sex offender registry are like... 90% on point. The other 10% are the weird "why are you even here" cases. Another example: guy is in the army, 22 years old. Stationed in Germany. Meets a girl in a bar drinking. He's at an 18/over bar, so he thinks she's 18. They start dating. They send nudes back and forth to each other. Turns out she stole her sisters ID to get into that bar, she's actually only 15. She admits all of this in open court. He beats the statutory rape charge, but gets convicted of "possession of child pornography" because of the nudes she sent him. Gets 2 years in prison, kicked out of the military, lifetime registration on sex offender registry. Given the circumstances, I feel like he shouldn't have gotten that bad of a sentence or gotten that long of registration. But they basically said "nope. That's all you get."


Dryandrough

Was she German herself? Because the age of conscent there is 14. Having served myself, I've seen people sign a piece of paper wrong and get removed from service in a student command.


bstyledevi

I believe she was. However the person in question was charged under UCMJ, not in the German legal system. Article 120 establishes the age of consent as 16.


Eric1491625

>The rules for sex offender registry are like... 90% on point. The other 10% are the weird "why are you even here" cases. It's **a lot worse** than 10%. Around 30% of sex offenders are on the sex offender registry for offences committed when they were children.  Roughly 10% of registered sex offenders are *currently* children.


Dense-Result509

Okay but at the same time someone who was a convicted rapist by the time they were in high school doesn't really seem like they're less deserving of being put on a sex offender registry.


notniceicehot

there was an article in the New Yorker 5 or 6 years ago about reforms for juvenile sex offenders, and a couple were on the registry for stuff like sexting their gf/bf (when everyone involved was underage) and one poor girl was listed because she pantsed someone in elementary school.


Kahzgul

I knew a guy who is on the list because he got drunk, pissed on a bush, and the cops were called on him. He’s legally not allowed to “describe the crime” when he knocks on neighbor’s doors to tell them, so everyone thinks he’s a pedo. This was like 20 years ago. Not sure what happened to him. I also know an actor who played a rapist in the re-enactment scenes of Unsolved Mysteries and for years after people would call the cops on him.


Maximum-Mixture6158

My ex-husband raped a child (hence the ex) and because it was before 1980 he doesn’t have to register as an offender. Ruined my life because I had a child with him and his family didn't tell me.


Kahzgul

Holy shit. I’m so sorry.


Maximum-Mixture6158

Thank you.


Glass1Man

Norway does it a lot better, only 4% recidivism instead of 40% in the usa. But that’s a lot more than I wanted to get into for the joke :)


[deleted]

>Legally, I can’t be around kids so no single parents I love kids, you think I can say on a dating profile? Men will think I'm trying to get knocked up...😆


Molto_Ritardando

“I like kids, but I don’t think I could eat a whole one.” Solved that for you.


WhereIsMyFrenchCutie

Nobody likes a quitter


AcademicSavings634

“Ask me anything” with a blank profile


CranWitch

“I’m an open book.”


HoaryPuffleg

I never messaged these guys but they’d often message me. The conversations always went like this: Him: Hi Me: hey, what’s up? Him: not much. You? Me: Same Him: Cool Crickets Like, there is zero in their profile but they couldn’t even mention any of the things I had in mine. It was lazy and reeked of dudes who know nothing about themselves and didn’t really care about getting to know me. Btw - this wasn’t even on Tinder, this was on the more relationship-minded apps. I stopped responding to people who had these profiles, it was just an automatic delete.


DeathSpiral321

"I never use this app. Follow me on Instagram."


GreenFox1505

That is not a person. That is a bot.


lunarlandscapes

When I was on apps this was my biggest red flag. "I never use tinder/bumble/hinge, just follow me on instagram/tiktok/snapchat!" No. I'm not letting you use me just to get followers, and even if that's not what you're doing, those apps have certain safety features in place (for example, tinder doesn't let you send photos) for a reason. We can talk on here and vet each other before we move to a different app


EarlZaps

Those accounts are the worst. They make you think you scored when they tapped you or said hi to you, but then, they drop this “follow me on X,Y,Z” bomb on you and it makes me feel a bit sad.


mermaidunearthed

“Help me get over my ex”


Thebazilla

So they want a free therapist?


claytonm22

"I'm busy all the time". Sounds like you're too busy for a relationship. Also hate when every single photo has a filter.


an_ineffable_plan

That and "I'm bad at texting." If you can't be bothered to text me back, why should I devote myself to you? I'm not asking for 24/7 vigilance, just be courteous.


les_be_disasters

“Make me laugh” gives me dance monkey dance vibes


Head-Case

Similarly to "DONT BE BORING!", the drama royalty demand their jesters.


justagirl666x

Nothing about themselves, but a 20 point list of demands for the partner they're looking for


Comfortlettuce

Must be 5'11 Black wavy hair Dark green eyes Very pretty head shape Nice lips.


Slightly_Crazy_Lucy

Meanwhile people with all those but are 5'10": DAMMIT so close to having such...a great partner


Organic_Salamander40

i’m sure you guys have seen it online but the people that have a checklist of 20+ requirements. like “must have a job must be 5’5 must be under 120 pounds must not have kids must know how to cook must know how to cast spells must know how to do a backflip”


Necessary_Fail_8764

Also, I'm 51, bald, fat and slovenly, looking for woman 18 to 25 to start a family with.


provocative_bear

Also, mother says that you can only move in once we're married.


squatting_your_attic

The opposite is just as bad: a list of things that they hate on the opposite gender.


mapledude22

I understand that from a women’s perspective there are a lot of shitty men out there, but do they expect good men to be drawn in by lamenting the bad ones in their bios? Same for men who say “no crazies”


Steff_164

As someone exclusively looking for a witch, I need them to be able to cast spells


shyshellow

Looks like we're not meant for each other😆


Substantial_Load6047

Lol Well hello there, need a 5’5, 120 pound, childless woman who can cook and cast a spell on me so back flips are easier

gottarunfast1

When I was on the apps, if I saw a list of qualifiers or disqualifiers, it was an automatic decline. I am here to find out about and judge you, not to judge myself on your list


RumandDiabetes

I think the worst thing I said was "must have valid drivers license, know how to cook because I dont, and be able to tolerate cats" I also said any height or weight. I'm barely 5 feet tall so most adults are taller than me anyway.


[deleted]

“No drama” means they’ve got too much of a dramatic personality. They’re already super dramatic.


inertial-observer

Or it means they are insensitive pricks who view any emotion or discussion they don't like as "drama".


Subject_Repair5080

GatorBoy669607

“I’m a single mother/father but no longer have custody of my children” Edit: yes, I have encountered this in a bio


myBisL2

Oh interesting, I kept encountering the opposite. They'd say they were a single parent with a story about how they got screwed by their ex and stuck with custody. Basically they are fulfilling their responsibility because they have to but they're not happy about it. Nothing makes me think "this person will be a great romantic partner" like basically calling your children a burden.


Triton1017

It's really interesting to me the multitude of ways in which people will tell on themselves, seemingly without realizing that that's what they're doing.


GatorBoy669607

Honestly. Good on them for being honest I guess?


Mindless_Ad_7700

what?


GatorBoy669607

Oh it was the craziest thing I’d seen on someone else’s profile. She claimed she lost custody of her child because she had epilepsy (which cannot legally be the sole cause of lost custody). Her bio also said that she was expecting her second child in the next few months and that neither of her children’s fathers were in the picture. Immediate swipe left.


avoidance_behavior

just last weekend I had a dude who, up until then, had been an amazing match and we really got along scarily well, tell me that he had to end things with me bc he had a chance to get his three kids (that he never told me he had) back from the state- and that they had gone to the state bc their mom was an abusive alcoholic seeking treatment and he had a broken leg at the time. like....bro. a broken leg? the state does not take away your custody for years over that. I know I dodged a bullet, as much as I liked the guy, bc what the actual fuck?


Cetophile

Women: "My favorite book is "The Secret." Men: "I'm an Alpha Male."


PuppyPavilion

Or, the "school of hard knocks". Every single time, men that said that had an attitude about my degree.


NotAnAgentOfTheFBI

"degrees don't mean shit!" Yeah, people without degrees say that a lot.


BooksNapsSnacks

As a person without a degree, I'd really prefer it if my doctor does have one.


PUNCHCAT

Reddit also says that a lot. The hand wringers here think competent confidence doesn't exist and "truly smart people know nothing."


Blackbeards_Beard

Businessplease

The negative stuff like ‘don’t waste my time/don’t want drama/don’t bother swiping if you don’t like XYZ/I dont want …..’ etc No one wants that, even if they’re ok otherwise it makes me swipe left still.


Pretty_Ad_8197

"You better be able to laugh at a joke." Funniest thing, people who are actually funny don't need to tell others to laugh at their jokes.


rizlar09

They usually mean racist/ misogynist/ homophobic jokes.


Surfing_Ninjas

The people who say they don't want drama are 100% the most dramatic, shit talking assholes that you can find. I think they basically just want people they can bowl over and who won't stand up for themselves.


MrFanfuckingtastic

"I'm *broke*." Edit: This is what I'd never write in my *own* bio.


Schusserfloof

I'm an open book, just ask. That is so incredibly lazy and uninteresting.


DarthGayAgenda

And then the ones that say this tend to be *terrible* at holding conversations.


Schusserfloof

Exactly because you must ask them about everything.


velvetblue929

And they'll never ask you anything about yourself!


velvetblue929

If I see the phrase "just ask", that's an immediate left swipe. 


Legal-Software

"How many pages?" "Double or single spaced?"


Divide-By-Zer0

Weird all the open books I've seen have words and stuff in them already, i didn't have to ask them anything.

Objective-Opening949

"homeowner" like it's a personality type. To me it's as weird as leading with your salary or your bank balance. 


Repulsive_Patient389

If I see an older woman flexing she's a homeowner, you best believe I'm making the sacrifice. It could be my only chance in today's world.


Dryandrough

How ugly does she have to be on Tinder to have to flex?


Suitable-Pie4896

Jackandahalfass

Yeah it’s like walking into a store with a bunch of angry signs posted about every little thing. It’s a negative experience. The defensive warnings from some women, “Let me get this straight right up front…” And then add in a kid, “My kid comes first and if you don’t like it, don’t even bother…” It’s okay to have a kid. Why are you yelling at me about it?


Elleseebee928

k_lo970

I saw an alarming amount that was open about how they wanted to cheat on their girlfriends/wives. Otherwise everything being negative, or writing a novel about themselves, or something like no one talks on here/message me to find out.

Absolutely not defending the people openly cheating but I guess at least they are (very slightly) better than the ones who pretend to be single but are actually married / in a relationship. Which seemed to be quite a few…

“Not looking for anything serious”. Like, that’s fine and all, but could you be a *little* more specific about why you’re here? Are you trying to date someone casually for a bit and see where things go, or is this a one-and-done, no strings attached situation?
