​The serious ones
2/8​The serious ones

There exists a section of men on dating apps who are looking for their ‘life partners’ and won’t mind proposing the idea of getting married after meeting for a few times. They treat dating apps as matrimonial sites and look for a prospective wife. Beware, they might emphasise on meeting your family members, involve their family and make future plans beyond your imagination.

​The sapiosexual, bibliophile, cinephile, cynophile…
3/8​The sapiosexual, bibliophile, cinephile, cynophile…

These men love to flaunt their vocabulary with fancy words like logophile, sapiosexual, bibliophile, pogonophile etc. but might not necessarily know the meaning of these words. Their profile would be full of such words, a few famous quotes, lines from a poem and all the jazz. Well, if boasting about vocabulary and language impressed women, writers would have been the luckiest men ever.

​The only-here-for-sex ones
4/8​The only-here-for-sex ones

There are some men who are pretty upfront that they want to have some ‘fun time’ and are only looking for a hook-up. After asking you a few courteous questions (think hello, what’s up, what are your hobbies), they come to the point and ask whether you are interested in a one-night stand or an open relationship. If all is good, they continue chatting. And if you are not interested in the deal, they wouldn’t think twice before unmatching you.

​Married man looking for ‘just friends’
5/8​Married man looking for ‘just friends’

Well, there is no guarantee that every man on a dating app is unmarried. You will come across profiles where married men are seeking to be ‘just friends’ with single women or looking to have fun outside their marriage. Some even claim that their wives know about their profile on the dating app and are completely okay with it. And the worst, some even do not disclose their marital status. Hope, dating apps develop better algorithms to ban such profiles.
