1. indication(s) of narcissism, such as an ego that can be seen on earth from space, or standards high enough to touch the hand of God.

2. Anything that berates a man's existence. Especially for shallow reasons, like being juuust 🤏 under 6'0 tall or being quote unquote: "broke 🤪" are always cause for an immediate skip, or left swipe.

3. Long list(s) of pre-set preferences, as if they're creating a character in a videogame.

4. The "In order for me to like you, my friends, or my dog have to like you first." types. Once again, always an immediate skip.

Now on Altscene specifically, here's what I've seen a fair amount of times:

I've read some rather salty sounding bios from people who are obviously still hurting from whatever their previous relationship(s) did to them. Some are 20-something single moms.

I'm not demonizing the victim(s) though, shït just happens unfortunately. Hard not to sound condescending, but that isn't how I want this to come off.

I just think that they should take a break from dating rather than forcing their mental health to the side over and over, in favor of finding happiness in other people. I've been there.

Rock-fücking bottom.

And in that hole of desperation, is where a lot of people mess up, happiness should always come from within, as should self-worth. Never seek these things from anyone, ever.

Needless to say, I always just click off those profiles, wishing them the best.

I think Quiet summed it up perfectly. These type of profiles come off too condescending, delusional, formulaic, or bitter. None of these things are a good look.

The last tidbit about how happiness should come from within rather than being sought out in others is also very true. Admittedly I used to be one of those people but I've come to realize that such an outlook is not only unrealistic, but it only puts more pressure on the other person.

If youre asking for red flags then...
I've seen a lot of people list they want someone with "emotional intelligence". I'm not sure what they're actually asking for, maybe they don't either since at this point it seems like the latest pretentious buzz word. But if I had to guess I'd say they are asking for a mind reader as they themselves have poor communication skills.

"If you want to know more, just ask."

Oh, so you want me to interview you. Specifically, here on AltScene there is a surprising amount of men who have profiles with maybe one sentence or not much more than their name and social media handle. Then they add "just ask." This is AltScene. Part of what connects alternative people is their love of music. So why didn't you list any of your favorite bands?

Not filling out your profile shows a lack of effort. Which leads me to believe that you are going to be lazy and boring in a relationship. Who wants to be with someone who is lazy and uninteresting? Ask yourself if you would date you if you were a stranger reading your profile...and be honest with yourself.

I saw a profile and read it. Saw the part about face in crotch. Nah bro.

@Bunni yeah if I see "just ask" that's an automatic pass every time. Same with "good vibes only" because those folks never bring good vibes

Roberto, if you remember who they were please msg me. I wanna ask her, "What about p**n stars? Are they fine to msg. you?"

The people who give you almsot nothing to go off, and then add the just ask piece. They expect you to come up with the most bangin', mind blowing message ever, right off the bat.

When a woman's profile says they're independent... what does that mean exactly and why does it need to be stated?

Dr. Sus

Dec 21, 2025 21:41

Dude... in my experience, every time a woman says that, it's thee exact opposite. The first one to ever say that was the clingiest woman I've ever dated.

What else... idk, this is a little off topic, but when soemone doesn't believe what I'm saying, drives me nuts. I got a woman's socials from here when I was mid story about a crazy woman I met here. We were sharing crazy altscene stories. So... I get her socials, finish the story of this fùcking crazy woman I met here, I could tell this new gal didn't believe me, basically went ghost after that. I know it wasn't anything I did (other than sharing the story) because who the f**k asks for soemones socials and then ghosts them right away? Plus, as I said, I could tell she didn't believe me.

Independent woman is the same as "I want a man but I don't need a man"... which translates to they should get a dog instead if they're looking for an accessory and not a partnership.

Another red flag, when you rant about the opposite s*x on your profile. Nobody wants to date a person is vocally resentful or hateful of their gender.

You never know, it might be someone's kink.

I don't think anyone would want to date someone who is resentful period though unless it's a mutual resentment.

I feel like a lot of people are living in dream land when they're filling out there profiles with what they're looking for. It's not build a bear, build your perfect person... its an advertisement about yourself... and you're probably not all your looking for yourself.

I'm not sure whether dating apps are actually responsible for creating this mind set. But I'd be really glad to see some basic profiles with realistic quotas.

Mercurius Mesmerize

I should also add it seems like "take a photo of you being fun" has been done overboard with, with the amount of summer holiday photos people use, as well as profiles going on about going on their next holiday or around the world... I don't want to meet someone who's busy jetting off all the time, do you not have any other hobbies that don't involve walking around cliffs and lazing around in the sun?

The ones that have it in their bio sorta like this:

"I love Jesus!" and you should love Jesus too and go to church every Sunday."

If you love Jesus that much you shouldn't be on a dating website go date Jesus instead or go to church and date some churchgoers or the priest.

That's just my 2 cents 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Why do women match on bumble (designed for women to make the first move), and then let their 24 hour timer run out? At least women on tinder who have second thoughts unmatch sooner than later.

Hatred/bitterness towards a particular group whether it be to a particular gender or type of person.

Profiles that are like the person must have this or must be this type of person. Almost like a job interview which is not what I am here for.
The good thing (in my opinion) about people is that we are not all the same and its fun to learn about people and how they live their life not go around with a checklist in their head ticking everyone off they deam unworthy.

Also anything that indicates the person just wants a quick meaningless sha*g. Nothing wrong with people putting that and I would rather people put that if its all they are after. It is not what I am looking for so it helps me decide who to talk to.

@Reberto said profile is direct and to the point. What's not to like?
Don't fit the criteria? Click away, never give it a secont thought and everyone is better off because noboies time got uneccesarily wasted and everyone wins.

I definitely don’t like when women talk about their inability to keep their b0ndage in the bedroom. This is also known as “voting left wing.”

Like if you cry when a cop shoots a bad guy I’m gonna leave you and tell the hounds that you’re single.
