Hi Lily,
Yeah, saying something like, “Not here for drama. No games,” instantly makes someone who sees their dating profile start thinking about drama when the thought of that hadn’t even crossed their mind before seeing the person’s dating profile.
The person thinks that they are being proactive in writing this in their dating profile but what it shows is someone who will be quick to judge if they were to start talking to a match. The moment they read something that “feels” like drama or games, they pounce on the person, accuse them of playing games and stop chatting with them or even block them.
The accused person may have only been making lighthearted conversation or cracking a joke and they have already been erroneously judged of starting drama and playing games.
Including negativity in a dating profile is never attractive and only leads to less people willing to take a chance on getting to know said negative person.
This person will probably learn this the hard way when they realize that they have been on the dating site for months and have never been able to keep a conversation going with someone for more than a handful of days.
