Looking for love? You might want to put away your Romphim and skip that Snapchat filter.

The dating app Hater, which pairs you with people based on the things you both hate, has figured out which fashion trends are the biggest turn off for their users -- and this news may not be good for you.

The app, which asks you to swipe on various topics to indicate how you feel about them, compiled the looks that people found most objectionable and sorted them by age group.

Women seem to be focused more on specific items of clothing. Teens rolled their eyes at New Balance shoes, while 20-somethings are taking a hard pass on fedoras. Ladies in their 30s are over the idea of "music festival fashion," which fair enough. While the older set is against skinny ties and jogger pants.

In a truly surprising development, the Snapchat dog filter is hated by 30-something men, which flies in the face of the assumption that it makes you look sexier.

When it comes to the rest of men, their objections are a little more vague. Teens are, funnily enough, against the idea of turtlenecks. Henna tattoos are out for 20-somethings, while the older groups are turned off by leopard prints and too much makeup.

Of course this is only based on what their users have said, but it can still give you some solid guidance on what to skip when getting ready for your next date.

And don't worry: if you're dead set on wearing that fedora or turning yourself into a puppy, there's still every chance you could find love someplace else.
