Social etiquette with online dating

I deleted my Tinder profile as I found it was full of men with tattoos (I don't mind a few but their whole necks, arms and parts of legs were covered), drinking and after one night stands. This seemed to be a trend in my city yet it was a shame as I would look on the app in other parts of the country whilst I was away and the men seemed a lot more eligible.

I am finding that particularly more on Bumble the men are quite selfish and will just talk about themselves and won't ask anything about you even though you asked about them. I just find online the people lack social skills. Even when I have gone on dates the men walk through the door first and won't hold the door open and I feel as though I am behaving like the 'gentleman' opening the door. Some men even refuse to buy me a drink which costs pennies, I know they should not have to pay but they don't even offer. It feels like Chivalry is dead.

My car broke down the weekend and I had a chance encounter with a vehicle breakdown recovery guy and he seemed very friendly, I didn't pursue as I didn't know if he was married. Plus he was probably being friendly as it is his job. Men like him are not on the dating sites and I don't know where I would meet such a person like him as he worked unsocial hours.
