Anyone on Match.com I’m a weird or is it them?!!

[superfrog2]

I feel like I keep trying the dating app thing and each time I have to pick myself up because I end up exchanging numbers then they are so slimy and entitled and just outright disrespectful and disgusting
last situation ….
started with funny banter
then he set out his dating rules
Message first then call the. FaceTime then 30 mins to see if our souls connected
I sent a laughing emoji
he then said dating app there’s wasn’t many hot girls and sent me lots of profile pictures of other women and videos
I sent not really into this and who are we to judge etc
then he blocked me 🙈 I don’t know if I swerved a bad one which yes ok I have but why are men Like this
am I ever going to meet anyone?
had anyone else experienced this? All my close friends are married so they don’t get it!!!

Needle in a haystack. I know really not easy but develop a thick skin and any red flags, something feeling 'off', get that block button pressed and move on. It's a numbers game. Wishing you the best of luck x

I’m trying but it is really testing my self worth! Totally get the thick skin approach but shouldn’t we be who we are! Gosh I’m going to be single for ever! I’m so surprised hie many men ask how long have you been single where do you kids live it’s like they are trying to work out what suits them! No interest in getting to know me!!

Honestly tinder is the only site I’ll use for dating

Paid sites are chock full of mommy’s boys and narcissists. That’s what I found on match about a decade back and I’ve never used it since.

There’s bumble but, the men are lazy imo. Having to make the first move there sets them up to make minimum effort going forwards.

Stick to tinder. It’s chalk full of all sorts of dicks too but not as bad as paid sites.

Online dating is horrendous and some very damaged people out there. Last year I was about to give up and resigned myself to staying single. Messaged Hi to a guy whose profile I liked never expected to hear back, told myself this was the last message I was sending and was ready to delete my profile. Ten months later we are still together and relationship going well. There are genuine people on dating sites but yes so hard to find them .

My mum met my amazing step dad on there but that was 12 years ago and she had to meet some “absolute fucking melts” before she met him. He didn’t have a particularly good experience on there either.

I found Hinge and Bumble to be the only ones worth bothering with - too many 'unsuitable' people on the others. The free membership on those is good enough, no need to spend money.

I met my partner on Hinge, and we've been together over a year now 🙂

You will inevitably need to filter out loads of weirdos, sex pests etc. I don’t want to engage with this awful people in anyway though so I prefer to stay single if I meet someone it will be in person.

Maybe try the burned haystack dating method too.

They're all the same, you get knob heads with every single site. I spent years on and off on POF, Bumble, Hinge, Match, Facebook. I've never met anyone decent that way. My current partner I met naturally, he's not proved to be a knob yet!

Get out and meet people with the same mind set as you.

I was on Hinge for a brief period and for me, it's just another version of Tinder, just with more men that do yoga and have top-knots. I think women underestimate how many men use these apps for casual sex, despite what they say on their profiles, so don't be surprised if you encounter disappointments. You should also know that dating apps have a bad reputation for women when it comes to things like stalking or sexual assault.

What I find is I feel like I’m constantly asking them questions, but they are not asking me anything, so I just stop responding and then they block me 🤷‍♀️

I mean that probably a common problem.

I tend to try keep it to a brief conversation or two and then, if they seem safe enough, arrange a quick coffee date. It's hard to get an idea of someone online. And tbf i wouldn't want to answer a bunch of strangers questions either.

Obv on the date if they are completely uninterested in open ended questions or in asking about you then they are a non starter though.

But don't waste too much time with them online.
