OLD buzz words / phrases that make you swipe left?

[Anonymous]

I’m a 45 yo straight woman who’s started OLD … some buzz words / phrases that are turnoffs: “partner in crime” (do you also wear pleated khakis?) and “drama-free”/“no drama” (from a man I take this to mean, no talking about feelings or the relationship itself).

You?

Assume what you want, but “No drama” means precisely that.

“[insert height], since apparently that matters”
“Just ask”
“Here for a good time, not a long time”
“My name/age is actually ______, Tinder won’t let me change it”
“Add me on snap”
“I’m a gentleman”

Agree “no drama” is a huge red flag

But what is drama? Jerry Springer? Or run of the mill conflict at times? Or a woman being bothered when he’s checking out other women?

Manic bipolar behavior, requesting to sit with the woman on the anniversary of her husband’s death, requesting to provide comfort while she is crying over arguments with her kids or her ex husband. Requesting help getting her car back from a friend who is too high or drunk to produce information.

These are not exactly fun dates. Drama.

Don’t date to solve problems at home. Date to share a good time.

When I see "no drama", I think it means "I seem to attract chaos but have no ability to see the ways that I contribute to that chaos."

Very good point! Just realized that among people I know, the “no drama” are precisely those who tend to end up with all sorts of “complicated” relationships.

If they are pretty and have big boobs, I don't care what nonsense they write in their profile.

Anyone who writes, "Love taking advantage of all that (city) has to offer" is a guaranteed bore.

I would say that a man writing “no drama” is probably the equivalent of a woman writing “no rapists.”

It sounds like you have some of your own stuff to work on, and that baggage is keeping you from being interested in what I’m looking for in this relationship.

I thought No Drama means a more direct, clear communicator?

Has that been taken over to subliminally mean shut up and don’t talk about things ever?
