Like with anything, some guys prefer it, some oppose it, and some are indifferent to it. I personally fall within the third camp - I’ll support my spouse with her choice - it is not really a make it or break it issue for me.
From what I’ve seen and heard, hijabis tend to have a slight disadvantage on the apps - especially with the rise and acceptance of the ‘halal / haram’ ratio!

Hijab is definitely preferred, idk how you can be Muslim and not prefer a fard lol. With that said, being fashionable is also high on my list.
I think if you just didn't say "How can you be Muslim?" then everyone would have been happy.
Maybe if you said "How can you guys not like the Hijab? It's stylish and is warm on the ears when it's cold" then no one would have had an issue.
However, "How can you be Muslim?" makes it sound like you're questioning everyone's faith. It's okay to think that way, I feel like we all have in some way or form. The issue with the response is your claiming you know more which you have also admitted is not true. It's just not worth the headache.

Unfortunately there is a notion out there that hijabi women (and long bearded men too, maybe) are very strict in their religious beliefs. What’s more unfortunate is that this holds true, very often.
I personally am no one to tell a woman what she should and shouldn’t wear, and neither should any other man. How much or how little they cover up, back the eff off.
but I know that I won’t get along with a woman who is very strict/rigid about her beliefs, and gets all preachy on her SO/husband.
A hijabi who is open minded and liberal - no problem at all. But it seems like those are rare.
Yup that’s bad. Our religion itself is asking us not to judge. I’m hijabi but I know other hijabis who do a lot of bad things so it’s not a measure that the girl is good if she’s hijabi. Alhamdullelah I respect everything I do because I know I represent my deen because of my hijab. Same goes for men who pray 5 times a day in masjid and have long beard etc but have bad heart/show off/hypocrite
Depends on the crowd of guys you’re talking about. Pretty much all my single friends from the masjid (including myself) prefer a girl that wears hijab.
Pro
Married a girl that decided to wear hijab just before getting married. Sometimes I would like to see her hair out in public with nice earrings but I totally support her choice. Having said that I hate the hijabi influencer wannabes and thank God everyday that my wife is not like those.
Agreed regarding Hijabi influencer wannabes.
My wife wears hijab. Love her

King. May Allah bless your marriage
Girls that wear Hijab are my preferred. I prefer to like a girl by not being too influenced by her outward experience. So this fits the bill.
Now whether or not we get along that's a whole different issue.
Hijabis all day every day
Pro
I personally am not initially interested.
However, if a girl chooses to wear or not wear it whenever, I don’t get to dictate or disapprove. I’ll support them regardless.
It’s just like any other preference: depends on the person.
D1 is kinda right though, depending on who’s swiping, you may be at a disadvantage. Or vice versa.
