Hello! I've been a lurker on this site for years. I finally decided to register, because I need to vent. I realise there are much worse and serious happenings in the world, but please bear with me and my non-issue (really, it is, and I know it, too).
So, I've been self isolating for weeks (by myself, I live on my own). I started craving a bit of virtual human contact aside from the usual faces, so I decided to give Tinder a go earlier today. I sometimes download and use Tinder when I crave widening my virtual social horizon. I didn't (and don't ever) have any intention of finding dates and/or meeting up with anybody, especially now. I made those intentions crystal clear on my profile, because I don't want to lead anyone on.
Anyway, things started off well. Since I wasn't looking for anything romantic or sexual I didn't care about the guys' looks. I basically swiped on every guy presented to me, and I matched with almost every guy I swiped on. Great! I expected to run into the odd freak (I usually do), and, as expected, I did. But one guy really, really pissed me off for some reason. First of all, he only had three pictures up on his profile, which isn't a lot more than my one picture (a clear picture of myself! Unlike his three). His profile text was non-existent while I had fully filled mine out. Yet, he felt like he was in a position to be suspicious of my profile picture and question the authenticity of my profile. His first message was "You don't look the age you claim to be and you certainly don't look like the profession you claim to be". I stupidly responded quite lengthily that I just look young for my age, and that I have no reason to lie about my profession. He didn't acknowledge anything I said at all, but immediately started pressuring me into posting more pictures of myself to prove my authenticity to him. Some idiot I have exchanged one message with makes demands on me? Hell no! I'm not an idiot, I know this is classical manipulative behaviour to lure someone into doing something you want them to do. He thought by discrediting me for no reason I would be offended and feel a need to prove him wrong. Obviously by doing exactly what he wanted me to do: Send him pictures. Well, I obviously didn't bite and told him if he really thinks I have stolen someone else's picture he can just reverse Google search my photo instead of trying to manipulate me into posting more pictures of myself. His response:
"This smells fishy, you are clearly a fake..." - and he unmatched me before I could read the rest of his message and reply to it. It bothers me so much that he got the last word, and that he might think he "won". Let me make it clear, I could care less if some random unattractive troll with three pictures and no profile text on a stupid app thinks I'm fake or real, that's not what I'm annoyed about. I just really wanted the last word! I wanted to be the one to unmatch him, lol. ARGH!
I have obviously deleted my profile and the app now. The few hours I spent on Tinder today made me genuinely really appreciate self isolation again, lol. I'm good for not only another three+ weeks of complete solitude, but three+ months 
. Okay, you can tell me off for now for wasting your time
