What does this "tinder" message even mean?

[Orangeapple]

Ok chatting to a guy on tinder for a few days becomes apprant he is from up north and only I'm my area for a week, he asks me to meet up, I politely decline saying I'm not into hook ups, looking for something more long term and with distance between us and work/kids etc it's just not what I'm looking for! He responds with this

"Actually I was quite surprised...... As a northerner I put on tinder near me...... And I get some scary ladies.... 24 hours in the south and I want to move home......lol.....god bless the beautiful south xx "

Ok might be being thick but what's he saying????

Am I scary

DCITennison and RiceCrispieTreats have it

It's meaningless flirtation that actually relies on putting women down according to their looks. Nice.

Look, you identified that he's not for you because if he's only here for a week then he's only after a hookup (or ego stroking flirtation behind a wife's back, maybe?) You already decided that's not for you. So why change your mind for some lame cheap line?!!

• hello
• sorry, I'm after a relationship not a hook up
• you're prettier than someone else
• oh he's sweet, maybe I'll flirt afterall

FFS!!!

Well the message is contradictory, so it is hardly surprising you don't understand it

He sounds functionally illiterate so I'd bin off anyway. But I do think he's disparaging southern women, in a clumsy attempt at "everything in the north is better" sarcasm.

He's attempting to flatter you.

Northern women are scary. He's just seen southern women and now wants to move back home (south).

Ham fisted attempt at him being rude/sarcastic/disparaging.

He's a northerner who thought he'd try his luck whilst away from home. He's been rejected (both by "scary ladies" in the north and now by you) he prefers the "scary ladies" up north.

It comes accros like a child going "well I didn't like you anyway, so ner!" Lucky escape for you, he sounds like a dick, who thinks he's more clever than he actually is.

He is not trying to be a dick, he is saying that the women near him in the north are 'scary' and that he has travelled down south and there are many beautiful women (including you) and he wishes to move home to live in the south.

He's not being a dick to you, but he's being a bit of a cheesy dick in general. He's pretty much saying "all the women up north are dogs, I love being here with beautiful ladies such as yourself...(please shag me.)

He sounds functionally illiterate so I'd bin off anyway.

^^yy to pocket: inarticulacy is not sexy!
