A single bodybuilder's Tinder profile has ignited controversy online, earning labels such as "racist" and "misogynistic" after its details surfaced on social media.
The uproar began when screenshots of the man's profile were posted on Twitter by a user named Zoe, hailing from Essex, United Kingdom.
Unimpressed by the dating prospect presented to her, she shared the screenshots along with the caption, "I thought I'd give Tinder a go but honestly, it's fully put me off dating."
The profile picture of the 27-year-old bachelor, taken in a full-length mirror, shows him shirtless and peculiarly, with his sweatpants around his ankles.
However, it was his bio, rather than his questionable photo, that sparked all of the heated discussions. The bodybuilder boldly stated his three dating rules, beginning with, "I have 3 rules... Rule 1, I don't want to be step dad so no kids unless u have just one, I want my OWN thanks."
His following rules raised more eyebrows.
"Rules 2, if you date black boys or think about it don't even text me," he declared, escalating the controversy surrounding his profile. The final rule stated, "Rule 3, I don't want a time waster or someone who is a bum... go make your own money u lazy f***s."
While this mysterious man may have hoped his rules would entice prospective matches, the backlash on social media suggests that his tactic may not have been quite as successful as he might have hoped.
One person wrote: "The fact he's laying down rules a potential date must meet, speaks volumes about the kinda control creep he is. In addition to the racism and misogyny. Red flags all over."
Another penned: "Who would even go out with a character like this, you can never be sure they won’t take off their pants in the middle of the street, in front of a shop window. to check that all the muscles are together."
A third wrote: "What's good about this kind of bio is that you know immediately that's the kind of guy you won't date. Ever. Time saving bio."
