It’s natural to have some kind of an idea what person you’d like to date. You may want your values to align, maybe you’d like them to listen to the same music and like similar films as you. Others have preferences about their potential partner’s looks, consciously or unconsciously. But some demands people in the dating world can seriously veer into the absurd. Knowing and having experienced that firsthand, one person online asked others: “What’s the most ridiculous dating preference you’ve heard of?” And people’s answers perfectly illustrate the hell that is modern dating. We also reached out to the person who started this thread, u/Urjanhai. They kindly agree to tell Bored Panda what inspired it and have a chat with us about why modern dating seems to be so difficult at the moment. Read our conversation below!

Brazilian researchers have found that even in 2024, people say kindness and intelligence are the most valued traits they look for in a partner. “This is true for both men and women and across the sexual orientation spectrum – although heterosexual men do place a premium on their partner’s physical attractiveness,” said the study’s author, Joao Francisco Goes Braga Takayanagi of the University of Sao Paulo.

“[The] most ridiculous part of that is that the car brands in question were not even the fancy types like Lamborghinis, etc. No, these women wanted Volvos,” the Redditor said in disbelief. “No matter how trashy the car itself was, as long as it’s a Volvo, it was okay.”

“Some people adopt their dating preferences from social media if those preferences are popular. It’s like wanting to fit in with people you don’t know and likely won’t ever even meet in real life. Social media has warped people’s perception of real-life social dynamics. In a way, they have lost a chunk of their sense of reality, which definitely is alarming,” the netizen tells us.
