It's no secret that the dating scene is tough right now, and people like these are the reason why.

With fewer and fewer people meeting their partners organically, the world of dating has moved online. But while spotting a creep can be pretty easy in real life, making judgments based on a few pictures and captions is much more difficult. Still, some of these profiles are doing their best red flag impressions, with early messages inspiring even more caution. 

Your first impression is extremely important in a profile and something the people in this gallery have completely messed up. If you're posing with your child while drinking and driving at the age of 19, there might be a few things you need to fix before re-entering the dating pool. On the flip side, just because you've thought of what you think is a funny and risky opening line, doesn't mean you have to say it. You also shouldn't list out every single one of your beliefs, especially when they're nasty and degrading to the gender you're trying to attract. And people wonder why nobody will go on any dates with them.

The "nice guy" trend might be worse on dating apps than it is in real life, and there are plenty of them in this gallery too. The dating scene really is tough these days.
