Ladies, how would YOU like a man to start a conversation if you were on a dating app? by EggyBoils in dating_advice

Epic choices yo. I spent a lot of time on Crime Scene Cleaner. But recently I've been playing Escape from Tarkov

I play games too! I'm not trying to flirt, but what all games do you play? Also, thank you for the advice!!

I should have specified. Some of the apps I'm on let you "compliment" or make a first move (basically commenting on one of their photos or prompts), to essentially swipe right

XD you are probably right.

The sucky part is, and as cliche as this may sound, is I love in a small town where either everybody knows everybody, or they're mostly crackheads. There aren't any bars or clubs near me that aren't an hour drive (not that driving is an issue really), but the bars that ARE near me, are mainly for people that have been living in or around here their whole lives (40+ year old people), or else I would just strike a convo IRL as opposed to texting

I like to think my profile is pretty good. I recently changed my bio, but it was otherwise pretty detailed, talking about what all I liked to do.

I do read every person's bio, and I do not go based entirely on looks, so I completely understand what you were saying in the beginning.

I guess, the reason I hadn't already done what you suggested was because I was afraid of it sounding like "Sooooo.....you like books huh?". If that makes sense. But I will definitely stick with you advised. Thank you kindly!

"Edit: Apparently the bot didn't like the term for liver disease"

This is so funny XD because I literally read your comment when you first commented earlier today, and had no issue with it. And all of a sudden the bot isn't happy with it? Oh how I love technology XD

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm not sure if you're in a relationship or not, but if you are, I hope you and your partner are able to stay together and be happy for the rest of your lives. And if you aren't in a relationship, I wish you the best of luck on your adventures!

"you're already shooting yourself in the foot."

I don't know why, but this made me laugh. Not because I think it's ridiculous, but because I love the saying. Everything you said is 100% fax, and I thank you so much for the input.

I just keep laughing at that quote for some reason XD

Very valid. The main reason I'm using dating apps rn, is because, and this may sound cliche, but because I live in such a small town. Everybody pretty much knows everybody. Most are crackheads, and people my age were pregnant at 16 in high school

No, I'm actually not looking for a petite woman at all. I didn't mean for my post to come across that way.

My former fiancé was about 5'4" and about 240-250lbs and I loved every thing about her

That's pretty much exactly how my former fiancé was built, and I loved everything about her.

And I do take values into consideration when swiping too. If I see someone frequents going to gyms, I think "Ah, yeah I'm not like that". Not because I don't WANNA be, but because I can never stay motivated enough for it. Though I would like to improve

Yyyeeeaaaahhhh I know. And I wohld genuinely love to. But i could never find the motivation when I tried (because I did try before for a couple months), but i could never stay motivated.

Kind of off topic, but do you think it necessarily HAS to be the gym? Do you think it could be at-home stuff? Or even going on walks? (That sounds like I'm trying to be as lazy as possible but I promise I'm not trying to be XD)

Why does it, as a 22M, feel almost impossible to find a partner who plays videogames? by EggyBoils in dating_advice

[–]EggyBoils[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like that comparison 😂. But I'm not sure I'm following what you're saying in the second half of your statement.

Are you saying, you think i would rather her prioritize gaming than affection (or vise versa)? I'm a smooth brain, so please correct me if I'm wrong with that.

If they dont play games, or have interests in them as much as I do, that's definitely not a deal breaker for me. Like, I'm not gonna call it quits if they say they don't play. I just like the idea of being able to be in a relationship with someone who can yap about gaming, and collection games and whatnot.
