Are you looking for a ‘6-6-6’ guy? You might be and not even realise. The latest dating trend is attracting scorn as people share their other ‘app profile’ red flags
People are just learning of the ‘6-6-6’ dating trend and sharing other trends on apps that have them swearing off relationships for life.
Most singletons on the hunt for a lasting connection will say that the dating game has never been harder. With so many of us living our lives predominantly online, it can be difficult to take things off the apps to real life, especially as it seems the stakes are always so high.
And now there appears to be another trend making the rounds that is making people want to give up on love for good.
Posted on social media, one woman wrote: “Just learned what 6-6-6 means on dating apps. This explains so much. Mostly why I’ll always be single. For those of us who date men-what do guys think is impressive on their dating profiles, but really isn’t at all?”
For anyone who doesn’t know, ‘6-6-6’ refers to the trio of a man being six foot tall (or over), with six-pack abs, and a six-figure salary. In this thread, someone else shared they were always baffled when a person included their credit score on their profile. They wrote: “Not looking to get a loan, looking for a partner. I do not advertise my excellent credit score. Maybe you shouldn’t put only this info in your ‘about me’ section?”
Another person reasoned: “I want the 666 thing but they are meaningless without a good personality match and a profile isn’t the best at conveying that … but the amount of injuries I’ve seen on dating profiles… nobody wants to see ski injuries and bloody snow !!! Why are you bleeding in your Tinder profile!! No.”
Someone else penned: “When they write ‘75 countries and counting’. Bro. Are you collecting travel? Travel is meant to be enlightening and interesting, and trying to get so many stamps on your passport so you can say you have so many stamps on your passport is weird. Why is that a competition? Bros are weird.”
One person joked: “I mean, it’s hard to find a person to worship Satan with nowadays, so I do appreciate them being upfront with it.” And a second moaned: “This. I can’t be bothered anymore. Bring on the single life with cats.”
