The dating pool is getting shallow

Dating in the modern world keeps getting more and more strange. To prove it; these are 7 of the weirdest dating requirements singles have. Some of these may have existed prior to today’s digital dating world.

Too many options?

You have to wonder if today’s singles have too many options. After all, they have so many ways of meeting new people to date that they might be getting very fussy. With so many online dating sites it must be very tempting to not give people a real chance. If you know that you can swipe left and keep moving at a rapid pace, it makes it difficult to settle for somebody who may not be perfect.

Back before dating sites

Before the advent of online dating sites, people who are looking for someone to have a relationship with had to work hard. It was not easy to meet new people. Most of us met perspective dates either through friends, family or work. Of course, there was always single scenes too. They’re actually used to be bars that cater two singles. They would even be singles nights where you would go in the hopes of meeting somebody over a few drinks, and loud music blaring from the speakers.

Picky, picky, pickled!

As you read through the following seven weird dating requirements that singles have, you will notice that some appear to be very picky items. Everything from what you do with an empty pickle jar, to how wear your hat.
If you are in a great relationship right now, thank your lucky stars that you don’t have to jump back in the dating pool. It is getting a shower and weird.

They can't eat the last pickle, and put the empty jar back in the fridge.

This is a test that to see if your partner will share the last pickle and a test to see if they will make a good partner that is not only considerate but not a child who puts empty jars back in the fridge.

No flip-flops on dudes.

This is mostly about not wanting to see a guys gnarly toes and feet plus the sound of flip flops is annoying and it might be a sign that he is too lazy to put on socks and shoes.

No backward hat-wearing guys OR girls.

You know who never wears his hat backwards? Tom Brady. He was never seen on the sideline with his hat turned around. He knew it sent a message that he was a bit too relaxed and not focused. Could this be the same reason a lot of people don't want to date someone with their hat backwards?

No vanity license plates.

This might say too much about you. It also might be sign of vanity after all they don't call them vanity plates for no reason. As long as the plate is not a brag about yourself they can a fun way of showing your personality. Still, for a lot of singles they're a turn off.

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."

Who wants to eat with someone that is so picky that it limits where and what you can eat too. How many plates of chicken fingers can someone order before you lose your mind?

No fishing pics on your profile

This is a puzzling one because it seems like fishing pics are fine because they are a reflection of your hobbies and how good you are it. For a lot of women they're boring and give them a glimpse into what dating a guy might be. Not a fancy hotel, but a day of fishing.

They have to snore . . . "because snoring is so cute."

Snoring is cute? We have to assume they mean a light snore that doesn't rattle the room. Nobody who sleeps with a big time snorer ever said it was cute.
