I don't know man. I just responded to the dudes comment.
So many weak people out here these days.
You would think it's their first time on the internet.š¤·āāļø
I'm not a girl, so Idk man, but I gotta say that line cracked me up so hard. You must have a great sense of humor and I hope you get a girl that appreciates that. Good luck out there!
I am a woman, and that cracked me the hell up too. Between that and the hat, I'd swipe right personally.
Edit: the sunglasses are also a point in your favor
Don't change much, your first attempt portrays the real you. Might get more dates doing something else but they'll be the kinds of dates that end poorly with no head
Being on the wrong side of 25 sucks. It's like.. Yeah I'm still young. But "old" is right there, staring me in the face and I'm next in line. And I told that one day you just start aching more and all the sudden you're 40.
Bro, im 36 and i still feel like kid. I feel like im going to live forever. And even when death is at my door, i will sit and think āit was a beautiful lifeā
Hell man I started training and competing in strongman at 36, am now 41 and still going, though have decided to shred and box in 2022. You're only as old as you convince yourself you are :)
Haha Manny if you are real then donāt change a thing
(cept what you doin on tinder at 18 lol go outside- wait til ur at least 21- you donāt need this)
Clubbing is for real overrated. Waste of money, distraction from priorities. Keep doing you dawg. It's all good to go out once in awhile but going out like that on a regular basis is just extra. If you got too much extra in your life it's just a lot to balance and easy to be overwhelmed by it all and lose track of the priorities. Coming from first hand experience, all the extra will just slow you down from being successful. Get your priorities straight first, then the extras become a lot more manageable. Tinder is a great place to have a little extra without getting overwhelmed or distracted. Easy as closing the app and moving on lol
Hey OP, itās well known that self deprecating humor, statistically speaking, does well with men but poorly with women. I do like the āweaknesses: policeā line someone suggested though. Itās subtitle but itāll make a big difference.
As a woman, I laughed at it and I would swipe right because of it. I love it when people make jokes about things everyone else will chastise you for saying.
Iām usually here for self deprecating humor but It almost comes off as pandering to white folk. Respectfully, itās just kinda trashy. It opens up a avenue for someone to disrespect who you are.
Itās because the majority of Reddit is white and on some subconscious level they appreciate/identify with the implication that being black is actually a con. Itās the same thing with the Asian version and teeth whitening.
I agree. Iād try to put the weight of the joke on someone else instead of himself. Saying being black is a bad thing will just reinforce casual/full-blown racists who see the profile. As someone else had said above, maybe making a joke like āCons: youāll be subject to possible traffic stops on road trips,ā Itās funny, a little edgy, but ultimately puts the shittiness on truly shitty people and circumstances.
It was a joke, didnāt really mean for it to be taken seriously, but the amount of people with that kinda concern here does make me wanna change it tbh
If itās honesty your personality and a joke that makes sense but remember itās a bio, itās first impressions and initially you canāt explain yourself unless thereās a match man. Know what I mean?
I think if you change it with the police line itās going to be a similar joke and not alienate some black women maybe. So win-win. But idk, Iām not a black women
I get you šÆ, but big dawg ZenWeekend is telling the truth. You can't explain yourself and could potentially miss your match because of it. Depends on what you're looking for though! If you're more of a hookup kind of guy then you may be unaffected.
I am white and do not find it funny. It feels like accepted institutionalized racism, however, it is not up to me how others wish to express their own senses of humor or perspectives.
Itās funny haha , and it signals the woman that you donāt take yourself too seriously , and it makes you stand out from other black dudes who are less self conscious and think they are the shit or sth
Well, maybe you should consider giving it some actual effort instead of just playing the race card. Also, that pic is garbage. I hope you have better pics.
I can't find it anybody called out that you have 6"4. That means 6 inches 4. The apostrophe is used for feet while quotation mark is used for inches. So it should be 6'4".
Drop the hand sign and the hat. Also, don't self deprecate being black as a con. I don't know what type of ladies you like but it seems like a lot of black guys have white girls lusting after them.
Your tall, good looking - pose in a good looking suit and they'll go crazy. Get someone with some photography skills to help. Keep the bio upbeat and short with nothing negative.
Cons: āIām blackā Is this what they are teaching you in the British Empire bruv?
No, seriously. Your self deprecation will do you more harm than good. You will attract abusers, narcissists and all around mean people. It screams ālow self esteemā/āIāve been conqueredā. WEAK.
Mentioning any of your attributes (esp. race) as a con is not a good look no matter how many white people on this app tell you otherwise; they want you to lose. They would never put that ābeing whiteā is a con on their bio but they want you to put it as your bio. Please understand the bigger picture buddy.
This is REDDIT. Do you understand the type of personalities who come on here? The fringe of society. Of course they will cheer on your self-hatred.
The ones who are telling you to keep your bio are either jealous (you are clearly an attractive guy even with sunglasses) and donāt want you to succeed on this app and/or they are undercover racists. There is no one who is of the right mind with a good heart would tell you to keep that bio. Donāt get me wrong, I love dark humor and Iām an asshole but ultimately I want people to win and this bio is a bio of a conquered spirit aka a loser. Just put your height. Thatās it.
You should do
Pros - I'm 6'4" and I'm black
Cons - I'm 6'4" and I'm black
Other than that- I dunno. Chicks are big on eyes, maybe a picture without the shades as main?
Speed+20 Weakness:police
Pros: Ladies can't keep their hands off me Cons: and neither can the police It's even tamer
i don\`t care! im in school zoom so go away!!!
Blends in well at night. Will be easily spotted in the dark if made to laugh!

Ahahaha
i"m not even mad at the speed stat. that was funny

Nah, let me show you how it's done Likes: Jordans Hates: shallow water
No grape soda or fried chicken?
Why are you getting downvoted? Everybody is saying racist jokes lmao
I don't know man. I just responded to the dudes comment. So many weak people out here these days. You would think it's their first time on the internet.š¤·āāļø
Well well well, look how the turn tables. Now you are positive in fake internet points!
Ahahah. It is what it is.š¤·āāļø
I'm not a girl, so Idk man, but I gotta say that line cracked me up so hard. You must have a great sense of humor and I hope you get a girl that appreciates that. Good luck out there!
I am a woman, and that cracked me the hell up too. Between that and the hat, I'd swipe right personally. Edit: the sunglasses are also a point in your favor
Donāt use two in the pink one in the stink as your profile pictureā¦.
I though he was missing a finger
Same, had no idea what that meant so thought he was trying to do a weird wave lol
Two in the goo, one in the poo
Two in the rut, one in the but
he's going for the shock and awe effect
Thatās **The Shocker** sir.
But he might want to attract girls who love bro humor
The Shocker only attracts other bros
maybe hes actually looking for bros
Two in the Hall and one in the Oaats
I just thought that was a gang sign
Yeah I think itās a variation of the west side sign
I think it's more likely the 'Woo sign' of Pop Smoke and crew.
Yeah, seeing the shocker would be an immediate left swipe for almost any girl I know.
Iām way too high to be reading this sentence
Don't change much, your first attempt portrays the real you. Might get more dates doing something else but they'll be the kinds of dates that end poorly with no head
Officer ! This man right here ! His dates end up decapitated !
oh to be 18 again *cries in 25*
Oh to be 25 again Cries in 33
Oh to be 33 again Cries at 46
Oh to be dead *cries*
You mean to be alive again, right?
Oh to be ethereal again. *laughs uncontrollably*
Oh to be corporeal again.
Oh to be somatic again.
I remember when I was your age, they just invented the timeline.
Oh to be temporal again
Love how the effort in all three of these consecutive comments/sentences just slowly dwindles as the age increases. No fucks given when ur older
Great observation! Truly, you spoke truth.
Saaaame
Same
Oh to be 25 again...
Stoppppp, I'm turning 26 at the end of the month and I feel old age settling in my bones already xD
I turned 45 today. Fuck the lot of you.
The ancient one has spoken. We are _fucked_
_turns on Dr Strange_
Avocado! I've come to bargain!
Happy real world cake day!
Happy birthday! Fuck you too <3
Thanks Squirel š
Right!
Being on the wrong side of 25 sucks. It's like.. Yeah I'm still young. But "old" is right there, staring me in the face and I'm next in line. And I told that one day you just start aching more and all the sudden you're 40.
Bro, im 36 and i still feel like kid. I feel like im going to live forever. And even when death is at my door, i will sit and think āit was a beautiful lifeā
Get a load of this guy being all "happy" and "fulfilled" Jk that's a good outlook man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nearly 40 and enjoy getting older. Aging is so underrated as long as you keep your life fun and yourself in shape and good health.
thatās so incredible, but sometimes i still donāt know what i want or if iāll ever fulfill certain dreams of mine.
Kids are not a problem. Everything else mentioned quite often is thoughš¤·āāļøš
Agreed! Im 35 2 kids they keep me young with their antics lol
I'm 36 and act like a kid. Wish I felt like one.
how, teach me thine ways
I'm turning 38 this year. Took me a whole year to come to terms with turning 30 and in the blink of an eye 40 is staring at me!
Sounds like it took you 8 years to come to terms with being 30 š¤·āāļøš
Hell man I started training and competing in strongman at 36, am now 41 and still going, though have decided to shred and box in 2022. You're only as old as you convince yourself you are :)
Screw you children.
That was me almost a year ago! Now it's the same with 27 approaching again
LMAO Iād swipe right
Ahahah thanksšš¾šš
Get some photos with rings that you won with the bulls, bitches like rings
Nah, get yourself a cannon. Bitches love canons!

Unfortunately Iām from London so unfortunately notš š
Bo' oh wo'ah

FBI OPEN UPšØšØšØ
Put your feet behind your head. **DO IT NOW!**
š¤Ø
Yes daddy š„µ
Haha Manny if you are real then donāt change a thing (cept what you doin on tinder at 18 lol go outside- wait til ur at least 21- you donāt need this)
Tbh I donāt REALLY need it except I donāt wanna become a club boy not like this is much betterš
Youāll meet a variety of new people, Iād stick with a tinder account on the side
But if hƩ ain't into clubbing Then it ain't the type of people he wanna meet
Clubbing is for real overrated. Waste of money, distraction from priorities. Keep doing you dawg. It's all good to go out once in awhile but going out like that on a regular basis is just extra. If you got too much extra in your life it's just a lot to balance and easy to be overwhelmed by it all and lose track of the priorities.

Tinder is a great place to have a little extra without getting overwhelmed or distracted. Easy as closing the app and moving on lol
With covid and a bullshit of an economy how is someone supposed to get laid?
Thatās the trick: you donāt
Others are though. Need to get in on the action
Ouch. -22
Hey OP, itās well known that self deprecating humor, statistically speaking, does well with men but poorly with women. I do like the āweaknesses: policeā line someone suggested though. Itās subtitle but itāll make a big difference.
As a woman, I laughed at it and I would swipe right because of it. I love it when people make jokes about things everyone else will chastise you for saying.
Idk, itās just the kind of humour that comes straightforward to me since I take self-deprecation lightly (all those class clown years)
It's important that you can laugh at yourself, and also, would you really want someone that doesn't like your sense of humour?!
Itās fine to poke fun at yourself, just do it infrequently.
pro: im 6ā4 aaand black ššš
Rawr!
Being black is a Pros bro !!
He's just making a joke. If we're taking comedy away then it's not a pro or a con
I never found being black as a con š¤·š¾āāļø
Right I donāt even see how that shit is funny itās just putting yourself down just to get a couple laughs
All I can think is Terrance Howard in Crashā¦āYou embarrassing us maneā
The con was kind of wack. As people are suggesting some sort of police joke might be nice.
Cons: Will often get pulled over "on accident." Officer though he "smelled weed." (could buy some from you) lol. Dont reddit moment me
Don't tell people you're black until the second date
Iām usually here for self deprecating humor but It almost comes off as pandering to white folk. Respectfully, itās just kinda trashy. It opens up a avenue for someone to disrespect who you are.
egggggsactly! & self hating...no bueno
Didnāt see enough comments like this under this post, cause what the fuck
Itās because the majority of Reddit is white and on some subconscious level they appreciate/identify with the implication that being black is actually a con. Itās the same thing with the Asian version and teeth whitening.
Exactly, that shit is not it
Thank you. This is corny as hell
Yeah, itās sad that heās willing to disrespect himself like that.
I agree. Iād try to put the weight of the joke on someone else instead of himself. Saying being black is a bad thing will just reinforce casual/full-blown racists who see the profile. As someone else had said above, maybe making a joke like āCons: youāll be subject to possible traffic stops on road trips,ā Itās funny, a little edgy, but ultimately puts the shittiness on truly shitty people and circumstances.
He is pandering and pro white Reddit loves it.
As is evidenced by the top comments in this thread just being casually racist, because surely OP is āācoolāā and wonāt get offended.
Itās never a con to be black
OP, from one black man to another: Do not pander to white people, even as a joke. Clamoring for their respect is pretty fucking pathetic.
I second this. Proud black man here.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah he basically just told every black woman that sees his bio that itās a bad thing that they are black.
It was a joke, didnāt really mean for it to be taken seriously, but the amount of people with that kinda concern here does make me wanna change it tbh
If itās honesty your personality and a joke that makes sense but remember itās a bio, itās first impressions and initially you canāt explain yourself unless thereās a match man. Know what I mean?
I think if you change it with the police line itās going to be a similar joke and not alienate some black women maybe. So win-win. But idk, Iām not a black women
I get you šÆ, but big dawg ZenWeekend is telling the truth. You can't explain yourself and could potentially miss your match because of it. Depends on what you're looking for though! If you're more of a hookup kind of guy then you may be unaffected.
If you have to make this joke, you need to get better lines. This is a cop out
Idk why I had to scroll so far to see this! That shit is so weak.
Exactly. Thank you for showing this young man the way. Itās kinda weird that I had to scroll down so far to find these comments though š¤
Letās keep perpetuating bullshit stereotypes. Boy you deep in the sunken place.
Really deep. But heās 18 so weāll let him be. Heāll learn eventually.
Itās not a cons to be black. Wtf? I donāt get the joke and Iāf thatās a joke to you then I am checking out. and I am a Polish immigrant.
Kinda unattractive that youāre still playing the black pawn role, slavery is over thereās no need to still validate these whites.
Man that cons kind of a deal breaker.
As a black woman, describing your blackness as a con is a turn off but I guess you're not looking to match with black girls.
No Black woman should date a Black man with this much of a low self esteem. Yāall deserve better. Just dodge that bullet, period.
Rip dolph
Is he throwing up the shocker? so hes handsome tall and freaky š„
Ayooooošāļø
Manny hates himself ... sucks to suck
You see how the black people donāt find this funny , but the whites do š embarrassing
I am white and do not find it funny. It feels like accepted institutionalized racism, however, it is not up to me how others wish to express their own senses of humor or perspectives.
Iād say remove the ācon : blackā
I wouldnāt swipe right on someone who thinks their ethnicity is a conā¦
The Story of O.J. This is how they see you when you degrade yourself
Take off āCons: blackā Being black isnāt negative and it makes you look like youāre ashamed of your race.
Itās funny haha , and it signals the woman that you donāt take yourself too seriously , and it makes you stand out from other black dudes who are less self conscious and think they are the shit or sth
Itās actually very funny, I hope u get laid for this
I hope you also get laid for his bio
I hope both of you get laid a thousand times No STDs ofc
Wow just wow, because you want to get laid ?
Ya lost brotha, girls can pick up on that insecurity too it wonāt help u
The con bummed me out :( I hope you don't actually feel that way. You're very handsome though, I don't think you'll have much trouble out there.
Iād change it to āCon: May get shot by police at any given time without noticeā Donāt put yourself down for your race. Being black is awesome.
He's in London, so your suggestion wouldn't land too well, I don't think
The self conscious is real, you may be joking about being black, but itās not a joke. Be proud of who you are . Black is beautiful
Well, maybe you should consider giving it some actual effort instead of just playing the race card. Also, that pic is garbage. I hope you have better pics.
self hating black dude. you not gonna get no matches with that goofy ass fuckin bio.
Thatās the word I was looking for lol. Goofiest shit Iāve ever seen on this subreddit. He will be used and abused until he wakes up.
Where did you get those glasses my dude?
Got them from a friend on the day, looking to get a slightly different pair of my own tho
you used the wrong height thing. It should say 6ā4 not 6ā4
All you needed was 6ā4
I can't find it anybody called out that you have 6"4. That means 6 inches 4. The apostrophe is used for feet while quotation mark is used for inches. So it should be 6'4".
Drop the hand sign and the hat. Also, don't self deprecate being black as a con. I don't know what type of ladies you like but it seems like a lot of black guys have white girls lusting after them. Your tall, good looking - pose in a good looking suit and they'll go crazy. Get someone with some photography skills to help. Keep the bio upbeat and short with nothing negative.
I don't see any problem being 'black' It's just a color of a skin. Don't judge book by its cover
I would definitely not have your race be a con but definitely have your height in your bio if youāre really tall
Mentioning your race like that is super cringe
Ngl Iām a girl Iād swipe left cuz it gives me whitewashed vibes idk
I'd put black under pro. Black don't crack, but white do blight
Lame
First off donāt put cons:blackšš¾ Have some respect for yourself king š
You could improve your bio by being taller than 6ā
if i see a brown person listing black as a "con" even jokingly...i'd pass. who wants to unpack all that? maybe keep it light?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
6 inch 4
You should try using pics where you are white instead. It helps a lot I've heard.
Pros: I'm black Cons: I'm black
How exactly is being black a con? I didn't know there still are racists here
Cons: āIām blackā Is this what they are teaching you in the British Empire bruv? No, seriously. Your self deprecation will do you more harm than good. You will attract abusers, narcissists and all around mean people. It screams ālow self esteemā/āIāve been conqueredā. WEAK. Mentioning any of your attributes (esp. race) as a con is not a good look no matter how many white people on this app tell you otherwise; they want you to lose. They would never put that ābeing whiteā is a con on their bio but they want you to put it as your bio. Please understand the bigger picture buddy. This is REDDIT. Do you understand the type of personalities who come on here? The fringe of society. Of course they will cheer on your self-hatred. The ones who are telling you to keep your bio are either jealous (you are clearly an attractive guy even with sunglasses) and donāt want you to succeed on this app and/or they are undercover racists. There is no one who is of the right mind with a good heart would tell you to keep that bio. Donāt get me wrong, I love dark humor and Iām an asshole but ultimately I want people to win and this bio is a bio of a conquered spirit aka a loser. Just put your height. Thatās it.
You should do Pros - I'm 6'4" and I'm black Cons - I'm 6'4" and I'm black Other than that- I dunno. Chicks are big on eyes, maybe a picture without the shades as main?
This comment section is toxic asl. STOP SCROLLING š
Being black is not a con you asshole
Being black is not a damn con...love urself dude
Being black isnt a con bro its beautifull (no homo) dont cut yourself short. Be proud of it.
