Literally matched with a guy a min ago one km away. He appeared as a match and literally seconds later disappeared !
I've no photos up so he doesn't know who I am .

He looked at the match, saw you had no pic and binned it off. As anyone would? No pic , no go ?

Thanks . He would have seen that when he swiped

Men do the mindless swipe on dating apps. They just swipe right every single person then sift through them later. They will get far fewer matches than women so this maximises their chances of a match.

He unmatched once he saw no picture. Probably assumed you're a bot, as most people will on OLD. Not really worth doing if you're not going to put a picture up tbh.

Maybe his wife came into the room and he deleted the app.

Doubt he'd have swiped right if he had an issue with there being no pic.

My guess....(from personal experience)....is that many men don't pay much attention to details like distance as the filters will make sure you're in his range.

After matching he's gone back and looked and noticed this distance and freaked out about you being so close to home (perhaps not single) and unmatched. Especially as there's no pic and you're so close you he may be worried you're someone he actually knows!! Imagine matching a man's chatting with neighbour/colleague/acquaintance/friend and not knowing 😂

Alternatively didn't mean to match with a profile with no pic and unmatched.

Interestingly, why do you not have a or coke pic op?

When I was single I never swiped at people too close to me. I don't want to bump into them at Sainsbury'S after an awkward first date.
