20 instant red flags on dating app profiles: 'I don't understand why it says I'm 39, I'm actually 58'

In theory, swiping through potential partners on dating apps should not be the soul-crushing activity that it is. It should be thrilling to assess potential suitors, to scroll through their pictures and profile information while imagining what a relationship with them could look like. Unfortunately, reality has made it nearly impossible to enjoy the eternal misery of swiping on the apps.

Perhaps it's our fault for always opening these apps during moments of loneliness and general low points. We have to stop doing that. That being said, at the end of the day, the vast majority of upsetting moments that come from the experience of swiping left or right involves how people present themselves on their profiles. In other words, some of you single folks need to clean up your profile descriptions, learn to be more respectful of others, and learn to expect as much as you give. No more blurry photos with fish or other dudes that make it impossible to decipher who you are. No more strange demands in the descriptions. Let us try to enjoy the experience of swiping left or right on you.
