Dating profiles specifying orientation preferences seem gross
Post Body

Sometimes swiping on profiles Iā€™ll either see preferences for someone whoā€™s only interested in people who are ā€œheteroā€, or people who specify ā€œno heterosā€

As someone whoā€™s bi/pan, I find both preferencesā€¦ bizarre and cringy. I swipe left on both. Who Iā€™m attracted to isnā€™t anyones business as long as Iā€™m attracted to the person Iā€™m trying to match with.

Obvious exception I guess is if someone is looking for a specific group arrangement, but in all the cases Iā€™ve seen it, there isnā€™t anything specified about group casual fun or anything.

Thatā€™s my opinion, but Iā€™m curious what everyone else thinks about it. Is putting a limit on a potential partners orientation ok or ethical??

Edit: Thanks for all the great povs. Just to clarify, I have my preferences also, like I prefer men and women who identify as bi/pan because I feel like thereā€™s a lot of common ground. I personally would never say Iā€™d ONLY date bi/pan men and women because that seems like itā€™s reducing them to sex objects for group play. However thatā€™s just me and my preference. Thanks again everyone

Edit 2: Sorry for the use of ā€œbizarre and cringyā€. Yā€™all are cool in my book now
