If you’re a unicorn navigating unicorn dating apps or sites, you probably already know it can be tricky. One wrong move and you could get blocked, reported, or just ghosted before your first real conversation even starts. Done right, though? You can meet amazing couples and singles who value honesty, respect, and genuine connection. Based on my own experiences and stories from friends in the community, here’s a deep dive into what behavior gets people blocked fast—and how to actually connect with high-quality profiles.
No Photo or Bio? Forget It.
I can’t stress this enough. I’ve seen profiles that literally have the default avatar and no bio. I once messaged someone like that and… nothing. Zero reply. Weeks later, the profile disappeared. Not only does it scream “sketchy,” it makes you look like you don’t care.
Even one decent photo and a few lines about yourself make a huge difference. Something simple works: “Bi unicorn, curious about FFM experiences, love hiking and good conversations.” Clear, honest, human. That’s enough to make people want to message you instead of scrolling past.
Photos, Age, or Gender Don’t Match Reality
Some people try to attract attention by fudging their age, using old photos, or claiming a gender that doesn’t match their pictures.
Example: A unicorn I matched with said she was 28. Her pictures looked like a college student, but her chat revealed she had a toddler. Total mismatch. Blocked instantly. Trust is fragile on these apps—once it’s broken, it’s gone.
Pro tip: Be honest. Real photos, your correct age, and the right gender make it easier to attract people who are genuinely compatible. The last thing you want is wasting your time on someone who leaves the second they realize you aren’t “what they expected.”
Off-Topic Replies or Poor English
Communication is everything. If your messages are hard to understand or completely off-topic, couples will lose interest fast.
Example: I asked a unicorn about her experience with couples, boundaries, and expectations. Her reply: “I like music and food.” Cute, but totally useless. It didn’t tell me how she’d interact, respect boundaries, or handle group dynamics.
Pro tip: Even if English isn’t perfect, make your answers clear, relevant, and honest. Short, thoughtful responses beat long, confusing paragraphs any day.
Reacting Badly to Rejection
Rejection happens. If you can’t handle it politely, you’re doomed.
Example: A couple politely said, “Thanks, but we’re not interested right now.” The unicorn replied: “You’re faking it! Can’t handle the truth?” Blocked immediately.
Why it’s a problem: Aggression destroys trust and makes people feel unsafe.
Pro tip: Accept “no” gracefully. A simple, “Thanks for letting me know, good luck!” is enough. Preserving your dignity keeps your reputation intact.
Asking for Nudes or Sexual Content Immediately
This is a fast-track to being blocked. Some newcomers think being bold upfront works, but most people report or block for a reason.
Example: One unicorn messaged a couple: “Send me a nude pic. I want to see.” No introduction, no rapport. Blocked instantly.
Pro tip: Build trust first. Chat, joke, get to know each other. Let anything sexual happen naturally, with everyone on board.
Pressuring to Move Off the App
Messages like, “Let’s switch to WhatsApp or Telegram now” on the first contact? Red flag. Couples feel exposed, and unicorns risk looking shady.
Pro tip: Stick to the app until trust is established. If someone genuinely wants to move platforms later, let it happen organically.
Borrowing Money or Asking for Transfers
Absolute no.
Example: A couple asked a unicorn to send cash for a plane ticket. Blocked instantly. High-quality connections never start with financial requests.
Pro tip: Never ask for or offer money. Focus on building connection first.
Other Behavior That Gets You Blocked Quickly
- Overly clingy messaging: Don’t send five texts in a row if they haven’t replied yet.
- Ignoring boundaries: Respect limits; don’t push sexual activity or physical meetings.
- Being rude or insulting: Calling someone fake or accusing them of lying will end your chat instantly.
How to Spot High-Quality Profiles
Finding a good profile isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about noticing effort, attention to detail, and respect. Here’s what I look for:
- Clear photo and honest bio: One decent picture plus a few sentences telling me who they are and what they want is enough. It shows effort.
- Specific relationship goals: The best profiles explicitly state what they’re looking for—“FFM for casual fun,” “bi unicorn for occasional dates,” or even just a clear statement of boundaries.
- Thoughtful, on-topic communication: They actually read my profile and respond in a way that shows they understand the dynamics.
- Respect for boundaries and rejection: Mature unicorns and couples don’t push, insult, or try to guilt you. Polite and considerate replies are a huge signal of quality.
- Active but not spammy: They check the app regularly, respond in reasonable time, but don’t bombard you with messages. That balance is key.
Pattern: Profiles that show honesty, thoughtfulness, and effort are usually worth your time. High-quality unicorns and couples want the same things you do: clear communication, trust, and safety.
Bottom line: Pay attention to the little details—the way someone writes, the effort they put into their profile, and how they respond to messages. Skip anyone vague, shady, or pushy. Profiles that respect boundaries, communicate clearly, and show real effort are the ones most likely to lead to meaningful connections.
