10 Signs Your Dating App Match Might Be A Misogynist. Run Girl, Run!
Swipe left worthy!
Dating is hard and tiring. Especially with the ingredient of misogyny in the mix. Women have asked me multiple times how I judge misogynistic men based on their profile or after having a very brief conversation with them so well. But trust me, I’ve had my bad experiences before and what I’ve realised is there is no way you can change a person’s way of thinking. If their profile gives even a small hint of misogyny, I dip. And here’s the thing, giving people a few chances to improve isn’t bad but it has come from within ladies! So to save your time and energy, I’ve made a list of things that can help you identify a misogynist from a distance.
1. “Don’t be boring”
If their opening line is a demand for excitement rather than a genuine attempt at conversation, it could be a sign of underlying disrespect. I love how he is trying to be interesting but please, why is he the judge of what’s boring and what’s not?
2. Gender Roles Bio Blunders
The next time you read a prompt that says “I like my woman in a saree, or in traditional attire”, you dip. Gender roles ka class chal raha hai kya? Bios like these could be a hint at deeper misogynistic beliefs. Also, we are NOT here to change the way he thinks, we just swipe left!
3. Boundaries, Schmoundaries
If a guy is trying to talk you into something you do not want to do, we’re out the door. Respect for boundaries? Clearly not his forte. Yes, I’m looking for a relationship and NO I won’t be changing my preferences for you.

4. Missin’ Respect
If he’s got a knack for dissing women, whether in his bio or during conversation, it’s time to show him the door. Ain’t nobody has time for that negativity. Where is the disrespect coming from? Whether it’s in their bio or during conversation, any negativity towards women should set off alarm bells.
5. Sleazy Talk
If their language is consistently objectifying or overly sexual, it may indicate a lack of respect for boundaries and consent. Men need to understand and respect the boundaries man, big time!
6. Derogatory Language Alert
Okay, I’m so tired of this. I mean how many times do we have to talk about this? Terms like “females” or any other derogatory slurs? Having a conversation explaining why using derogatory slurs is problematic is almost like starting with the ABCs. Who has the time for that?
7. Show Me The Money
If he’s all about flashing his cash or bragging about material possessions, he’s probably more interested in buying than actually connecting. Any focus on wealth or material possessions could signal a shallow view of relationships and women. This Raja-Beta syndrome has to go, bhai. We don’t care about the number of cars you have, we’re too old for that.
8. Politics As Usual
Extreme political views that scream “women belong in the kitchen” are a big ol’ red flag. Swipe left, and don’t look back. Extremism is just not the best shade on men, you have to understand that it’s a volcano just waiting to erupt. Why go and have to and fro opinions later when you can just swipe left and get over it?
9. Physical Preferences Checklist But Who Asked?
Ladies tell them that we do not care if they are a boob or an ass person! The world doesn’t revolve around boobs and ass, they are more important things to worry about.

10. Refusal to Reflect
If they are not ready to reflect on their flaws and do something about them, it’s not a good idea to continue the conversation babe! I’m honestly tired of men not taking accountability for their actions. And there is no way it can be taught, you need the bandwidth for it.
Remember, darling, you deserve someone who sees you for the fabulous queen you are. So, trust your gut, embrace your sass, and keep swiping until you find someone who deserves your time and attention.
