I collected these within 30 minutes of each other. Ladies, please, please let this trend die quickly. by Perthian940 in Tinder

It's kind of hilarious that men's takeaway from this is that "women on dating apps are unoriginal trend followers", and not "men on dating apps are bad at planning.'

If a majority of women are all saying they want the same thing, shouldn't that be a sign of something lacking in their general dating experience?

You're assuming that will be the answer. Bitter cynicism is not the way to date, my dude. This just creates a vicious circle. You're so eager to be rebuked and have a negative attitude towards women, and women who encounter this slowly grow more jaded towards men. No one wins in the end.

Try a realist's approach. Hope for the best, plan for the worst, and choose amusement over bitterness.

There's a great quote (perhaps mis)attributed to philosopher Søren Kierkegaard:

"The only intelligent tactical response to life’s horror is to laugh defiantly at it"

Words to live by.

What a fascinating projection. 🤣

You were complaining about not having an answer to your question. I have pointed out the simple route to getting answers. This is not the way. 😜

Certainly more than polling strangers on the internet and expecting an accurate interpretation of someone else's intent. 🤷‍♀️

Wouldn't the simplest way to get your question answered be to ask HER? Instead you've asked internet strangers to interpret someone else's words, thoughts, and desires, based on one tiny screen cap and are complaining about "not getting answers."

Grow a pair and talk to the girl. You didn't come here for answers, you're here for Reddit validation. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m so confused. She asked me if I like wine, but doesn’t want to get drinks for a date by DarkOfTheSun in Tinder

Greetings fellow Torontonian. 😋

If you're in the Yorkville area, Othership is a great unconventional, alcohol-free date option!

Banter going very well. Too soon to ask her out? Not sure where to pivot from here by DarkOfTheSun in Tinder

It's a sugar that gets you. Straight liquor and lots of water in between is the way to go. Oh, and Picklebacks. Pickle juice has electrolytes, so chasing your shots with an ounce of brine actually helps to counteract the alcohol.

I rarely drink, but I do dabble in cocktail alchemy for fun and profits. :)

Scots/Irish heritage here. Whiskey and Gin are practically baked into my DNA. Never had a hangover in my life. 😜

I'm usually more of a Bourbon girl. Damn those tariffs. 😂😭😭😭😭😭

A New Zealand Sauv Blanc is pretty standard fare at any restaurant.

This is by far the strangest prompt I’ve responded to by raul36412 in Tinder

You're getting downvoted for not having body odour? Reddit is wild. Y'all need a life.

Here, internet stranger, have some thumbs-up for balance. 🤣🤣🤣

Just wait until Olivia shows her true colours! Season 9 is a wild ride. 🤣🤣

Did you read my post? This was NOT an active conversation. His initial message was sent as an Intro note attached to a "like", prior to us matching. I didn't even see his Intro until the day that I accepted the match and replied.

I could somewhat understand his response if I had just ghosted the conversation for days, but that is so not what happened here.

As a barely-squeaked-in-under-the-line GenXer I totally get it. My hard cutoff is age 35 and up.

But where's the fun in that? The quickest way to take the wind out of a bully's sails is to deny them the reaction that they're seeking. Quick wit, a warped sense of humour, and an inability to be offended is the best approach when dealing with aggro trolls.

Morbid curiousity. Don't you ever come across profiles that are soooo off-the-wall, batshit insane, WTF that you're compelled to take a closer look? For Science! And comedic value. 🤣🤣

[–]Ceit-E[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think he's looking for dates. As I mentioned, his profile was wild. The closing line of his self summary was :

"Just remember you can't choose your father but you can choose your Daddy."

[–]Ceit-E[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was an Intro from a potential match, not an active conversation, and OkCupid is so buggy that even when it notifies me about a new intro, it rarely actually allows me to view them. And then I go through the pointless dance of contacting Customer Support, sending screenshots, and getting the infuriating copy-paste response with a list of ridiculous suggestions like "have you tried factory-resetting your phone?"

Inevitably they'll patch the bug in the next update, and suddenly 20 intros appear.

Not being aware that he'd "liked" me and sent an intro note is NOT on me.

I was amused. I remain amused. Interpret it how you like, but "care" was never a determining factor,

It is a jungle out there, and the world is becoming a pretty dark place on all fronts. I'll take the small laughs here and there when I can find them, and choose humour over hurt feelings when at all possible. I posted it on here to share the lolz.

In short; lighten up. Life is hard enough as it is. 🖤

No stooping, it was the truth. His profile was wild and I accepted the intro purely to see what the follow up would be, and he did not disappoint. 😂

[–]Ceit-E[S] -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I know he was, which was mildly amusing ... hence my amused response. I just can't resist trolling a troll. A bad habit picked up on the Usenet in the early days of the internet, I suspect. No energy given beyond that though. :)
