Dating app profile rules for 2018

Be real: A profile is best when it is honest



What do you do to catch someone’s eye when they might be swiping through hundreds of men and/or women in a sitting? Here are some things that shouldn’t be in your dating app profile:

A picture of you with a dog that is not yours

A picture with a dog — or a puppy for bonus points — seems to be a basic requirement of a dating app profile these days. What could be better than a hot person with a cute fluff-ball, after all? But do not do this unless you own the dog.

Your Instagram name if your account is private

Why do people do this? We don’t want to follow you. We just want to stalk you. And all the people in your pictures. We want to see more photos of you and assess your wit in your captions. If you are not ready for this, do not reveal your Instagram. 

A list of what you are or aren’t looking for

“Looking for someone petite and fit.” “No fatties please.” Bios like these make you come across as arrogant and insulting. And do you know what, even if you are petite and fit, you’re probably not going to swipe right because the guy/girl in question sounds like a douchebag.

Mirror selfies

There is no excuse for a mirror selfie. No, not even if you have an amazing bum or abs of steel. Posed pictures showing off a body part in any capacity make you look vain. And for goodness sake, don't you have any other pictures of you?

Posting a photo with a baby and saying 'it's not mine'

Dude, we didn’t think the baby was yours. We never presume the baby is yours. 

Snapchat filtersThere’s being basic and then there’s Snapchat filters, which is just a whole new level. Whether you’ve gone for dog ears and tongue, the flower crown or the ‘pretty filter’, they’re just annoying.
