Weird Dating Requirements
When it comes to dating we all have a checklist, but some people’s list have some pretty odd requests. Like for me, when I was single, my requirements were pretty basic, be kind, have good hygiene and be able to carry a conversation. Our friends at Buzzfeed compiled a list of unique requirements people had for their potential mates. Check out the list below.
1. They have to like frogs. At least a little.
2. They have to snore . . . “because snoring is so cute.”
3. They can’t have a gym pic or dog . . . “because I don’t want to get up on a weekend morning with a hangover and need to do stuff.”
4. Not having the same name as a close family member, like a mom, dad, or sibling. Or kid, I guess . . . if you’re a single parent.
5. They can’t eat the last pickle, and put the empty jar back in the fridge.
6. No flip-flops on dudes.
7. No backward hat-wearing guys OR girls.
8. My rule is: I pay for myself every step of the way until we decide to become a couple . . . then we can split the bills, or whatever we choose.
9. No fishing pics on your profile . . . “I love fishing, but if one of your main photos shows you holding a fish, then you’re super basic to me.”
10. They have to be able to cook, even if it’s just quick and easy meals . . . “It’s okay to be lazy and order takeout, but for every meal? Huge red flag.”
11. No picky eaters . . . “You don’t have to be a foodie, but I like to cook, and if you won’t give my food a chance, it’s not gonna work out.”
12. They can’t use the phrase, “Work hard, play hard.”
13. No politics . . . “It’s good to care, it’s good to have opinions, and it’s good to vote . . . but if your political party is a part of your identity, it’s a hard no.”
14. No obsession with cryptocurrency.
15. No vanity license plates.
16. There’s always the “no cat people” crowd, but one person said: No horse people . . . “It’s always very important to them, and I’m too scared of horses to be supportive.”
