No I don't care. If I don't meet someone's standards then obviously it's not meant to be.

Yup! Did you read that same question today? 🤣

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Well, I watched a video a few weeks or so back, where some guy addressed some feminist article bashing some guy for his dating profile and he basically exposed some women for having some similar requirements and being hypocrites about it.

Now, every is entitled to have whatever preferences and standards they wish, but I guess it does kind of disgust me when people are hypocrites in certain ways e. g. in the video, the guy address some women's profiles and saw some of the following:

A woman with two kids, literally pregnant with her third, saying she doesn't date men with kids.

A woman saying she won't put her ass in a car that cost's less than 100k.

A woman saying a guy who's less than a certain height, isn't a real man.

ChiTown33 · Answer

Disgusted no. Confused and a little exasperated yes. I'm a very logical and analytical person. It confuses me how many women can knowingly pursue one toxic relationship after the next. I try to help with advice because that's what this site is for but I see so many women finally getting out of a toxic relationship. Only to jump headlong into another one with the exact same type of guy. They present their case to me. And it's pretty obvious the guy's character is s***. All the red flags are there it boggles my mind that I can see with the naked eye what she can't with a microscope. I understand oxytocin is a b**** that confuses you but c'mon! Lol

WhatTheHeckkkk · Answer

Not really offended but definitely disgusted. It’s their choice anyway. However, I had a friend who would specifically target vulnerable girls, he would find girls who are severely mentally unstable, and take advantage of them and leave. I had to block him and distance myself after I noticed this pattern because what kind of person does that? What kind of person would I be if I was still friends with him?

I dont like it when people have outrageous expectations. It's not as common as some try to make it out to be but the three sixes are extremely annoying.
6 foot (plus)
6 pack
6 figures

honestly it's like 5-10% might actually want/expect this in a guy. But the issue is people act like and portray it as the norm. Its hardly the norm. If you got those expectations you're probably dying alone or you'll buckle and tote the line eventually.

TheorionMage · Answer

Because knowing the other persons in-depth,
you realize that THEIR choice is based in their low self esteem and gullibility
in believing they could not deserve better and they were just tired. So, they settle.

So, as their friend you make your observations to them timely and TACTFULLY and bite your tongue with the inevitable "did I NOT tell you so? Did I NOT as your friend WARN you?" comes round. BUT... it WAS / IS THEIR free choice!

Aethereal · Answer

Yes. Usually when their preferences are not preferences and are actually prejudices. An example is when the person takes one (unchangeable) thing/feature/trait and uses it as the sole basis for disqualifying a very large number of people from their dating pool, regardless of how many other great and/or rare positive traits someone with that one disqualifying trait may possess.

DonkeyDan · Answer

Not really, it's none of my business ehi they find attractive, just because it's not a type I'd find attractive doesn't mean it bad. The only thing that kind of disgust me is when people look for materialistic things in a partner, like money and power.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

What one has in their dating profile is their business
as long as they aren't going to harm anyone but if they
seem to be wanting to harm anyone or got a profile
with guns, wanting money sure I would report them
anyone with guns could be a serious issue but I
would do a background check on them.

Xtcy2083 · Answer

Why would any half sane person be "offended" by SOMEONE ELSE'S dating preferences? To the person who was, I would say "Get a life!"

Seangreen · Answer

There's always that guy the only wants to date a 10 in reference to looks and she better have a degree and a career and a car and better be good in bed but she better not have had a lot of Partners and that's the same type of guy that complains about how there's no good women out there

NathanDavis · Answer

nope... I try my best not to judge

and I never take it personal either, after all... they're just preferences

obviously, I am not counting the cases in which they're actually disgusting like predators and all kinds of sick stuff

DizzyDesii · Answer

Only in terms of age gaps. Anything over 5 years always makes me cringe

DarkCarousel · Answer

Not really, no. Recently, I read a post from someone who wanted to date a disabled person because they wouldn’t cheat on her. So I kind of scoffed at that.

Cherry234 · Answer

No not really. But I do think some people are too picky and have unrealistic standards. It's their business though.

ShaTTeredMasterpeace · Answer

Nope. None of my business who someone else chooses to date.

Ekke118 · Answer

Only disgusted when guys like the exact opposite of what I like.  I get it that I'd have less competition, but past a certain point it's just encouraging what I don't like.

purplepoppy · Answer

I might think they're an idiot but its their life and choice

menina · Answer

Yes that has happened many times to me but I don't tell them that I'm disgusted or offended.

MrKinktastic · Answer

Yeah, being openly close minded is a giant red flag

FinalFantasyBro · Answer

I can't say I have ever been offended about a preference but if you are using that preference to spread hate that when we start having problems.

gag2021 · Answer

I did, but that's their choice. Everyone has their own preferences and choices they choose. It's free will, everyone has free will. You can't make someone like you.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

Disgusted is the wrong word, it's more like I'm just confused by their preferences.

TKasap · Answer

Yes, but it's probably not worth wasting my time and energy with them.

Dingsbums · Answer

No because it’s non of my business but some crazy girl called me fatphobic before

Wiredone · Answer

I can care less who other people date. It's really nobody's business

Slim57 · Answer

Yeah some things are ridiculous like the things you can't change but im sure I've offended with my preferences too I suppose

Tstrbrainer · Answer

Nope, I think it's immature to be offended at one's standards

dustybiker · Answer

Yes. Natural reaction. Kept it to myself though.

JosyJosy · Answer

No, more like disappointed

noohair · Answer

It falls under, None of my fu@king business.
