Wow, that was unexpected. Initially reading this Reddit thread about turn-off while swiping through Tinder, I didn't expect most answers to be about selfies with dead animals. To be frank, I've never had a dating app profile (true story), so I don't know what my turn-offs would be. I could imagine that photos of someone with sunglasses, or hiding themselves could be bereft in attractiveness, because hey, the whole point is about looks. Though there's a section to express your traits, qualities, or humor, at the end of the day if you don't get the handsome check mark then it's a left swipe. 

The world of internet dating seems to be cut throat in a way; you're constantly being judged and judging, you have boundary-less moments to monitor your perceived attractiveness to other people, and maybe these apps do us more damage than they do good. But at the same time, it allows for two strangers to happen upon each other in a way they probably wouldn't have bumped into without the apps. Though many have bad luck with dating apps, and while catfishing, ghosting, or any number of behaviors can be grating, there are many couples who have found each other with dating apps. Let's take time to laugh about all that these apps bring us.

    For me it's got to be the middle finger. Why on Earth would somebody essentially be signaling everybody who looks at their profile to go themselves? Am I supposed to be impressed by this?

    Second up it has to be smoking in the photos. Even more I'm using when the bio says they don't smoke. Third would be extreme filtering! You know what I'm talking about. People use so much filter that their nose disappears.

    Fourth would be deceptive camera angles. For example, taking all photos from directly overhead, taking a body shot from far away, wearing a big coat in a body shot, wearing baggy clothes in a body shot, leaning forward in a body shot, And something I've seen more of recently... Standing behind a tree?

    Edit: It appears that the most common answer from the community is dead animals.

    HumbleAd4170 OP. 21 hr. ago Yeah, I've looked at men's profiles. Out of curiosity. The most consistent thing that I found amusing was that nobody smiles. Everybody's trying to look like some of that

    properly, etc. We modeled masculine archetypes off of Rambo when we should've been looking at Mr.Rogers all along.

    HumbleAd4170 OP. 21 hr. ago If there are two people in the group photo, it is a 99% chance that the person who owns the account is the less attractive of the two.

    burritomouth. 18 hr. ago Anything that eliminates confusion. Like if it's the third picture and there are already a few solo pics so there can be no question who's who.

    SwimmingSpecific8691. 13 hr. ago My first pic is the only group photo to show that I have a social life. I circled myself in red. In my bio I say "I'm the one circled in red". I also circled myself in every other picture.

    Thelynxer 15 hr. ago I've seen one profile ever so far where in the group pic the actual woman was the most attractive one. It's so weird how that's almost never the case.

    'mean mug' in every picture. All it makes me think is that you're an angry person because you look angry in your photos and it makes me worried for my safety.
