Dating is hard at the best of times.
Not only do you need to find somebody who gets you but you have to find somebody who knows Lynx is not an acceptable perfume.
It’s. Hard. You. Guys.
A community of anonymous daters have come together to share the shallow reasons they wouldn’t date somebody.
The strange but sometimes valid reasons were aired on Reddit after one user posed the question:
“What’s a shallow reason you wouldn’t date someone?”
The Nose Knows
“I broke up with a girl once because I didn’t like her natural smell.”
“If she smells bad.”
“I dated a girl who consistently smelled like pancakes. At first it was cool, I love pancakes anyways. But after a couple dates the smell started to get to me. Eventually I started getting nauseous. So I stopped calling her.”
Orang-you Gonna Call Me Back?
“Fake tan. I find them very unattractive.”
Stylish is Sexy
“If he dresses like a slob. I’m not saying he has to dress super stylish but if all he wears is gaming/meme t-shirts and cargo shorts then I’m not interested in dating them.”
“If they show up to a date without at least trying to look nice.”
Selfie-Obsessed
"If they take too many selfies."
"If they care more about what social media sees them as rather than people looking directly at them, face to face."
