    I know it’s a total cliché, but I’m so glad I was lucky enough to exit the dating world in the early 2010s

    Shit seems baad

      It’s abysmal. Getting ghosted so often you don’t even know where you went wrong. A couple weeks ago i matched with someone who liked MCU movies, and I do too. I asked which were some of her favorites and when I reopened the app an hour later she deleted the convo 🤷🏻‍♂️

        For what it’s worth, she might have found someone she liked and disabled the app with no bearing on you or your quality.

        Or in the case of my friends, find someone she didn’t like enough that she’s taking a break from the apps.

      Yeah it’s so bad I never even had a date in my life rip. It’s not that I get rejected a lot, in fact I never even got to this point, since I don’t even know where I would have to go to meet any women.

      Yeah it was not fun to reenter the dating world recently but staying in a broken relationship would have been worse. I’m hoping good people still find good people through whatever medium. But I’m understanding that’s harder now (but still worth it). This type of idiotic take has always existed.

      Gosh same. Me it was 2014, back when tinder still showed your mutual friends.

      This vitriol around spending money on dates is so annoying. Like if it concerns you why don’t you just do cheap dates like coffee or a joint by the river like a sane person?

      It weeds out any people whose values don’t align with yours on that front.
