Dork Vader Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 I'm on a dating website again and this is more a rant then anything else. For the love of god, please stop mentioning your ex's in your dating profiles. Yes some men actually read the profiles.. That said, when I read anything that mentions past relationships, ex boy friends and so on.. I instantly think this person is not over their previous relationship yet. Sure there might have been things about that person you liked or did not like. If are specifics your looking for, that's fine but don't reference your ex or past relationship when you mention it. I've done my fair share of internet dating and have found in almost every instance people who talk about their past relationship or ex are not over it. 2
nibelheim89 Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 It's always been a mystery for me as to why so many women just cannot leave exes in the past.
ExpatInItaly Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Consider it an effective screening tool to weed out the people who indeed are not over their exes. Clueless as it seems, they're doing you a favour by slapping a big ol' red flag right there for you to see, so you know not to waste your time. 8

I can’t say I’ve ever come across anyone who mentions their ex in their profile?! You would be right to avoid them tho! It would be a bit like saying you’re looking to date but have syphilis
d0nnivain Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 Agree. . .they are making it easy for you to weed them out. So be grateful that you didn't waste your time.

And in some cases never. 1
Ruby Slippers Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Yeah, it's a big billboard that says "do not message/date me."
smackie9 Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Or it just proves how stupid they are......how is that show any quality about oneself?

I'm sticking with them being stupid.
CLS63AMG Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 If they're mentioning an ex they aren't over them and likely aren't ready to date. Avoid rebounders at all costs, they'll just waste your time.

smackie9 Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Again that's being stupid...like that's gonna get them anywhere. ick.
JRabbit Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 same goes for the "no drama or crazies" Usually means that person is the biggest drama magnet on the planet lol 1

It's a turnoff for most people (AFAIK) but that person is entitled to go through his or her "I'm so mad at the opposite sex!" or "I'll NEVER accept X, Y and Z that JOSH did to me!" phase and frankly, at least you know before you would have contacted her.

Wiseman2 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 I wish used car salesmen were this honest about warning signs. What if they told you upfront "as soon as you drive this heap off the lot it will breakdown'? 1
basil67 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 @Dork Vader it sounds like you're asking potential dates to hide their warning signs. I would suggest it's more sensible to be glad the warning signs are there and to heed them.

Life is dramatic, falling in love is dramatic, so what exactly are they looking to avoid? Sure I understand that they mean they don't want problems.
