Being unnecessarily wasteful with food. Not even attempting to save it or tossing all away over some easily resolvable issue like “I’m not hungry right now” Throws in trash.

Fake nails. I have nothing against people who wear them, but for some reason it just instantly makes me think we are not compatible at all.

No passions or hobbies.

No, traveling isn’t a hobby.

I get that but why is traveling not a hobby?

Because you don’t have to work hard to master it

Since when is “mastering it” part of the definition of a hobby?

It’s just blowing money to go exist in other places. Some people do it to simply avoid boredom. I’d argue it could be a hobby if they are putting effort into learning or collecting things or something.

Traveling and just being there is not a hobby. Traveling to, for example, visit certain types of sites or museums, maybe build a collection of photos or memorabilia, could be considered a hobby.

That’s a weird take on this. Which person who loves travelling then proceeds to do absolutely nothing at the destination? I mean, maybe you met people like that, but I have never in my life talked to anyone like that.

Isn’t doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?

I guess because spending money is not a hobby in itself. But idk.

Traveling isn’t about spending money though. It’s expensive but that’s not the point.

Pointy shoes with high heels.

They destroy your feet, make walking long distances impossible and show me she values unhealthy beauty standards over her own body.

Also, shaved and re-drawn eyebrows, for similar reasons.

The shoes I get but what’s unhealthy about shaving and redrawing eyebrows? Just curious, if you just don’t like that then that’s valid ofc.

Eyebrows keep the sweat out of your eyes during sports. I want to live an active outdoor life with my partner, if she shaved her brows off chances are she isn’t into that.

Guys, I don’t necessarily agree with what OP said (I didn’t downvote him, though), but why are you downvoting him for freaking answering the question?!! The question says “a trivial thing,” (not “a reasonable thing”) and OP answered with a trivial thing. Vote accordingly.

This is like downvoting unpopular opinions in a thread about unpopular opinions.

They’re probably being downvoted for making a huge leap just from wearing pointy highheels lol. They turned a trivial reason into a non-trivial characterization/flaw about a person.

I don’t know, man. If you dismiss someone for anything trivial, chances are you are judging their whole character to the point of not even dating them.

Here’s a highly upvoted comment:

No passions or hobbies.

It’s really not too different from the high heels one.

Anyway. It is what it is.

Okay, but also, who cares about internet votes? I never vote and I never look at my votes. I don’t understand why people care about this or why it’s even a feature. It doesn’t work, people are clearly stupid about it, why does it exist.

That’s a totally different topic.

I usually gauge internet votes with relevant content. I don’t take them too seriously, though. For more technical questions, it can help.

But of course there’s the occasional hivemind that is irritating - like if someone is asking for help when grieving a lost one, the most upvoted comment is some dark joke meme.
