11 Things We Need To Stop Seeing On Lebanese Dating Profiles

Love can be hard to find, and in the drive to consistently commodify our daily lives, we have been forced to take refuge on dating apps, traversing our alienation and atomization through some swipes. Anyway, here are 11 things Lebanese people need to stop doing on those apps.

1. Blacked out pictures & a single letter name

“Swipe right, it’s worth it” What’s this dark and mysterious vibe? Are you a serial killer? Are you just here to stalk someone? Give me something to work with.

2. The Office or Friends as a substitute for a personality

Khalas, please tkhato.

3. Job: Consultant

Have some shame.

4. Group pictures

Do you want me to hit on your friend? Is this some sort of cuck thing?

5. Location: Paris

No French s’il vous plait.

6. Babies

Why are you as a 27 year old man putting pictures of you and some random baby? Did you misunderstand what a “daddy” is? What in the Freudian clusterfuck are we doing.

7. Business Owner at Self Employed

Entrepreneur at Forever Alone.

8. 420 friendly looking to “smoke up”

Do you work ma3 el moukhabarat? Be honest.

9. The words “open-minded”

In 2023? Please.

10. Having just gym pictures

We get it.

11. Favorite artist: Taylor Swift

Run.
