I worked with a guy who said he wanted to have a baby with a woman from every race. I think he was up to 3 kids at that time. SMH.

I have a very Scandinavian name, my ancestry is 50% Norwegian so I obviously have very Scandinavian features.

You’d not believe the amount of men that try to get with me for their “Viking” aesthetic. It’s weird to be culturally fetishized for a culture I have zero connection to beyond my name and ancestry.

What is "viking aesthetic"? I remember a video I found on YouTube of weird video dating profiles from the '80s and one dude had a sword and a helmet with horns. Is that who OP is on about?

Way back when I was doing online dating, this girl had the most restrictions for a potential relationship I've seen.. by FAR.
-Man must have a place to live
-Must let her move in
-Sleep in separate beds/rooms
-No kissing or holding hands, makes me uncomfortable
-Hugging is vary iffy, maybe after I got to know you for a few months
-Anything sexual is strictly off the table
-Wont cook, clean, or do chores
-No kids
-Man must support me 100% financially, as I'm unable to work due to medical reasons

Like lady, your not looking for a relationship at this point. You just want a free place to live

EDIT: Oh, I left out another one: Absolutely no porn or masturbation, as she considers it 'cheating'.

"He needs to be so hot that I feel _physically sick_ with how badly I want him whenever I look at him. There's just no other way I could go out with someone"

She was a junior doctor, and a friend of a friend.

When I last saw her, her boyfriend was a 6' 2" ex model... because of the facial scarring from a knife fight. With a rival d**g dealer. He hadn't finished school or done any other kind of work and came from a really rough background. He'd been scouted and modelling was the big break that was going to lift his family out of poverty... but then he got into a fight and it was over before he was even 22.

So now he was unemployed and spending his days sitting around in their flat (that she paid for) smoking weed (that she paid for) with his mates, talking about the hip-hop demo they were going to seriously start working on. Any day now. (Which she would have to pay for).

He _was_ really, crazy attractive. But she would show up at my friend's door in floods of tears a couple of times a month over him and they seemed to spend all the time together when they weren't actually f*****g just... screaming at each other.

I don't know if she actually liked him, as a person, at all.

But he _was_ really hot.

A kid I worked with said that he wanted to date someone who was physically fit, worked out at the same gym, had a certain style hair, drove, lived by herself, and there was a whole host of other preferences. We did the maths, and there were roughly 5 people in town who met that list.

I had a friend in high school who said that the only man she ever wants is Prince William. Mind you, this was 20+ years ago when he still had hair.
We did not even live in the UK.


She’s in her 40s now and she must have been serious about it, because she has never dated anyone else.

I had a friend/coworker who required men she dated to be at least 6' 2", black, intelligent, handsome, holding a good job, chill after being told after a few dates that she had herpes, never late to a date (even 5 minutes, because that's disrespectful of her time), always pays for dates, always responds to her texts the same day, and visits her in the hospital even if she's only there overnight, they've only been on a few dates, and he has to work and has pre-existing obligations.

She had a zero tolerance policy for anyone who failed any of these requirements. In essence, they had to treat her like she was just about the most important thing in their life.

For some reason she found it hard to find a man to go on more than two or three dates with....

I knew a guy who hooked up with, but wouldn't date his female best friend—who he talked to every day and spent a bunch of time with—because she wasn't "pretty enough and didn't have enough going for her [as in she's the LA type who makes money off of gigs].

This man was 40 years old and had no stable job. Granted, he was good-looking, but how in the hell is he going to find a woman who's attractive and has things going for her if he doesn't also have things going for him?

Only dating men that had a christian "platform", preferably having generations of "men with platforms" before him. Do I need to say this woman is still single?


 Curiosa: this same person was also a self-appointed relationship expert and gave couples advice on a regular basis, despite never have had a relationship on her own.


Edit: the word "platform" was used by the woman herself. What she ment was someone like a pastor, preacher or similar type of Christian leader, and preferably not the first generation of the sort in his family.

I knew this Bangladeshi guy who was always complaining about white women being racist and not wanting to date non-white guys. (he said this despite no apparent difficulty in getting into relationships with them). At one point, he told me he thought white people were the only race he found attractive. So essentially his criticism was that they had the same preference as him.

Sadly there's a long history of colour-based 'racism', enshrined in the caste system, within the Indian sub-continent. Generally speaking the higher caste you are the lighter skin you're likely to have. This has also been the case in some parts of the Americas where descendents of slaves have prided themselves on how light their skin is, as in they're only a little bit black so are purer or 'better' than full-blooded black people. I'd like to hope that this is no longer the case, but I suspect there are stil places where it is.

Having a preference and only wanting to date particular race is not 'racist'. Just like it's not sexist to only want to date a particular sex, it's not ageist to only find certain ages attractive, and it isn't fatphobic or anti-ginger if you simply don't fancy larger people with ginger hair. Who you fancy is who you fancy.

Once got a message out of the blue on a dating app from a woman (who I hadn't approached, "liked" or talked to even once) in order to reject me out of hand (I hadn't asked!) because "how can you be in your 30's and not own your own home?". I mentioned in my profile that I was currently renting somehow, but it wasn't more than a passing comment and she just messaged to rebuke/reject someone who hadn't even approached her.

I thought it was the weirdest thing. Not even a beginning of a conversation or an honest enquiry or anything, it was an attack right out of the gate.

Didn't like the tell her that the only reason I was renting was that the two previous houses I'd owned I had given to my ex's... the woman was clearly only interested in one thing and I didn't need her getting the idea that she could be number 3.

I used to be friends with someone who wouldn’t date over 30 when he was like 32-33. He was with a woman nearly 40 purely because she let him cum in her but then set his sights on a girl at his supermarket job who was freshly 21, then another who was 17.

That’s just ONE reason I stopped talking to him.

There was a woman I worked with at a resale boutique- she was dating this guy for like 6 months. They went out every weekend. She was really pretty, he was really handsome.

She asked me what me and my boyfriend talked about. She explained that her boyfriend would take her to bars or restaurants or they would hang out and watch movies, but they never really talked and she didn't know what couples were supposed to talk about- she mostly just dated him because he was good looking and she liked how he dressed.

I've literally heard a woman say to me that her ex-boyfriend was too nice for her and I'd be too nice for her and that she'd need an a*****e to keep her in line. She'd never date anyone who she'd be friends with. She later came out as a lesbian and has only been with women since, the past 11 years.
