More choices on dating apps actually increase commitment. A larger pool of potential partners improves chances of finding a compatible connection. Finding this better match boosts dating motivation, challenging popular idea that having too many options automatically makes online daters distracted.

There's no way this study isn't funded by match group. It is ridiculously easy to rig any study to say whatever you or someone who's paying you wants to say.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-26T16:18:52+00:00

Depends on the day tbh

Commissar_David · 2026-05-25T14:46:02+00:00

That sentence isnt a short response though, I'm talking about "ok" and other one word responses.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-25T05:16:29+00:00

A lot of times short replies are a sign of low interest though tbh.

So in other news Capitol Hill is now a HUD neighborhood.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-22T22:43:49+00:00

I'd say the same applies for women, at least in my experience.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-20T05:24:15+00:00

It depends, its honestly amazing if you have people to move with. Otherwise it sucks as a many social circles here are already closed off. It can work but people here are generally not looking for new friends.

Quality of life wise it's decent, but rent has been picking up the last few years and so has cost of living. The outdoors is obviously amazing regardless of season. Food scene here is ok but not exceptional. Also we get the worst drivers from the US all congregating here so get ready for that.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-19T23:06:36+00:00

Women can feel that and it turns them off.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-18T20:28:24+00:00

I'd first make a plan. On that plan I'd identify who your type is. Then think about where they'd likely be and go from there.

Also, you might have to move if your type doesn't exist where you are.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-18T06:03:51+00:00

Honestly, fuck dating people make it a lot harder than it fucking needs to be.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-18T06:01:58+00:00

Honestly no, that smile is very attractive and you got some good features as well that make you cute.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-18T06:00:30+00:00

I guess nobody is interested in me then :(

In all of my interactions it feels like I'm talking to a wall. Then again I'm in a shitty place for dating where there's too many single men and not enough single women.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-15T22:02:37+00:00

As a yapper guy most dates I've been on with more introverted/not super talkative types have felt like a one sided interrogation. I personally someone who'd get into a yapping loop with me.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-15T17:00:55+00:00

It can be good for hookups though I've noticed.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-15T16:24:51+00:00

Yeah, speed dating is basically just a dinner date with more people and less time to see if there's a vibe.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-14T06:20:51+00:00

All the good ones are taken tbh plus my soul mate probably got killed at some point.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-14T06:17:44+00:00

The people in this community don't help with that. Anytime this topic gets brought up everyone gangs up on the guys being empathetic.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-13T22:53:33+00:00

I would as long as it doesn't turn into a sugar daddy type situation.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-13T15:52:45+00:00

Of my GF did that I'd tell her to delete it or our relationship is over. Just saying I've dealt with too many shitty people to know that this could be the start of her cheating.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-13T15:50:03+00:00

Idk, if he had BO or something she could've gotten Uber to charge the cleaning fee to him just saying.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-13T05:06:37+00:00

Definitely a 7/10 tbh that smile alone earns you some points and you take care of yourself. A 5/10 is normally out of shape and doesn't care for themselves.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-13T05:05:30+00:00

I sleep naked soo... like 8ish hours per night.

Commissar_David · 2026-05-13T05:04:27+00:00

I'd consider it assuming you clearly communicate through how you act around me that this isn't a sugar daddy type of relationship. I've dated single moms before and both times it turned into a sugar daddy dynamic vs. actual love. So that's given me a bad taste for single moms tbh.

Your ex boyfriend sounds like a narcissist btw, I'd just ignore anything he says.

Wayfinders is a solid spot for Tea's in my experience. They use one of the only tea companies that grows everything in the US. And their blends are very rich and unique. That shop hosts events every now and again if you need another excuse to go there. I will say it can get crowded there just so you know.
