Hey Single Dads, Ditch Those Kid Pics on Tinder!

Dear single dads everywhere, it’s time for a little chat. While those photos of your adorable kiddos might seem like a heartwarming touch to your Tinder profile, it’s probably best to keep them off. A recent study by MummyPages.co.uk found that a whopping 71% of single dads on Tinder showcase their children in their profiles. Two-thirds of these dads flaunt solo shots of their little ones, while one-third share photos of themselves with their kids.

Now, don’t get me wrong—being a dad is a fantastic trait to highlight. However, it appears that single moms don’t get the same warm reactions. Only 24% of single moms admitted to posting their children’s pictures on Tinder. Perhaps it’s because dads often receive praise just for being involved parents. If single moms enjoyed the same recognition, we might see more of their kids in the dating scene too!

Think of it this way: it’s like that guy who adopts a dog to attract women at the park. “Swipe right! Look at my kids; I must be a great guy!” Sound a bit harsh? Maybe, but studies do suggest that men are viewed as more appealing when they’re with babies or pets. Some single dads are definitely trying to cash in on that idea.

Possible Repercussions

Now, let’s talk about the possible repercussions here. Imagine being the ex-wife of the dad who’s using pictures of your kids as bait for potential partners. Even the most amicable co-parent would likely be furious at the sight of their children being showcased on a dating app.

At best, these dads are a bit naive; at worst, they’re being careless in an attempt to boost their attractiveness. As Laura Haugh from MummyPages pointed out, “There are people who take advantage of online anonymity and dating sites to prey on single parents and their children.” Parents need to be cautious and think about protecting their kids’ privacy by avoiding posting their images online.

Setting a Good Example

Moreover, children look up to their parents as role models. When a child sees their mom or dad sharing their photos on public platforms, it sends mixed messages about online behavior. Carolyn Bunting, General Manager of Internet Matters, emphasized this point.

So, single dads, before you start swiping right, do yourself a favor and update your profile with kid-free pics. Your future matches will appreciate it, and your kids will thank you for setting a good example.
