22 People Who Are Definitely Single For A Reason

This is not OK, Cupid.

Whoever coined the phrase €œplenty more fish in sea€ had evidently never seen a goblin shark. Trying to find a partner you€™re compatible with today is exceptionally easier than days of old, but it€™s a lot less romantic and - 9 times out of 10 - completely alarming. Where the biggest dating faux-pas in the past was simply meeting someone through alcohol and poor judgement; there€™s now speed dating, blind dating, and even mullet dating (yes, really) to complicate the mix.

And, as with everything, the Internet has made it even weirder. With thousands of sites like eHarmony, OKcupid and Match, it€™s not surprising that 74% of people have used the World Wide Web to pursue romantic interests.

So, what makes a good dating profile? First thing€™s first - your photograph. It's the main thing a potential date is going to see and the primary reason they're going to click your profile. So when you upload an ominous webcam picture from 2002, or an image of you crying into a Pokemon ball- you're gonna have a hard time. Then you must take your interests into consideration: making sure you put yourself across as a normal, dateable kind of person... and that's where it all goes wrong.

Next up are the finest examples of eligible bachelors and bachelorettes of the Internet. Apologies in advance.
