‘The back of his head was too flat’: The most ridiculously specific dating preferences singles have shared

They say that everyone has a "type." If you're a contestant on Love Island, it's the first thing that everyone will ask you (and usually the correct answer is "Tall, dark, and handsome"). Most people have some idea of what they're looking for in a partner, whether that be more surface-level things like age, height, or job field, or deeper qualities like how much they value family or what belief system they participate in. Most dating apps are built to accommodate their user's preferences, and especially if you throw enough money at them, they'll show you people who fit your hyperspecific requests. 

But most mature adults would agree that this isn't the best way to date. Being overly prescriptive can leave out people who might surprise you. But what are the craziest preferences that people have that go beyond the filters on Hinge? Read on for the list, and feel normal in comparison.
