Lots of people make the mistake of including every negative quality they don’t want in a match on their bio.

This is where you are listing these negative qualities with a fervor that completely trumps the rest of what you write about on your bio.

When you do this with your bio, you risk turning off men of quality who see your profile.

Upon reading your bio, these men get the impression that you are someone who is carrying a lot of trauma from past negative experiences with matches or love interests.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of writing about all the negative qualities you don’t want in a potential match in a bio on a dating app.

When you have gone through so much disappointment in the people you have dated in the past or interacted with on a dating app, it’s human nature to express that in the form of including the negative qualities you don’t want in a potential match.

This is where your emotions take over, tricking you into writing about all these negative qualities in a bio.

The idea is to filter out all the men who possess these negative qualities, but it only ends up doing the opposite.

Firstly, the negativity in your bio ends up repelling the actual men you want to attract.

He reads all of the negativity in your bio and decides that you are too much trouble, concluding that you harbor way too much internalized trauma and he doesn’t want to deal with that.

Even though your intention is to keep the wrong men from messaging or liking your profile, you end up attracting men of this ilk.

He sees the negativity in your bio and takes it personally, being someone who is representative of those negative qualities but deems himself reformed.

Consequently, he messages you to question why you are being so judgmental and to tell you that you should give a reformed or formerly bad guy like him a chance.

After all, he has done a lot of personal growth, and it isn’t fair for you to not give a reformed or formerly bad guy like him a chance.

As far as he is concerned, everyone deserves a second chance.

Then, there are other men who simply take offense to the negativity of your bio, deeming you to be someone who thinks too highly of herself.

In his eyes, you are judging men and thereby coming across as though you are a perfect person with no flaws.

So, unfortunately, you end up inviting trouble from these men as they purposely send messages to you that are intended to be judgmental of you.

This is where they purposely critique various aspects of your profile in an attempt to anger, frustrate, and humble you.

Sadly, this is the type of attention you will receive if you choose to use your bio to talk about all of the negative qualities you don’t want in a potential partner.

This is the worst thing you can put on your bio.

Rather, use your bio to showcase a positive and dynamic personality and lifestyle.

This is what enables you to attract like-minded potential matches as they find several areas of commonality in what you included.

As an old proverb goes, “You catch more bees with honey than vinegar.”

And yes, using this strategy doesn’t mean that every match or message you receive will be from the perfect match.

Nonetheless, there is bound to be a sufficient enough number of them for you to ultimately find your most compatible match.
