    I think the worst profiles I’ve found are the ones that list who they don’t want – which, surprise surprise, is often an independent woman who’s got a personality and decision making skills.

    I’ve found more than one insulting feminists and a guy who stated in capital letters “MAKE WOMEN GREAT AGAIN.”

    All in all, a lot of yikes. It is a hellscape out there. Stay safe.

      Yep! Worst of that I ever saw said “Do NOT contact me if you don’t meet the following criteria” which included “stunningly attractive /beautiful, slim/athletic build” and various independent woman factors. It all rang true, not tongue in cheek… he really was that bad

        A lot of women put demands like that though.

        And photos that are 20 years out of date. Not joking here. Turned up for one date and she was at least 20 years older than the photo. The excuse was ‘I didn’t have a recent one’. She had one of her cat though. When she found out I didn’t own my own house, she want interested.
