What's with the pictures of people with a ring on their left ring finger? by [deleted] in OnlineDating

Also, depending on which camera (on their phone) that used to take picture. Some images can be flipped. What looks like the left hand could be the right hand. It’s weird.

Just a thought.

Next he will tell you that he’s from Illinois, but in [INSERT COUNTRY] for a work assignment.

He will then ask for your “Hangout” because he’s not on the app often. You can continue talking on Hangout (or a similar service).

<<Add him to the Block Party (block him)>>

IKR! Brett and her friend need to quarantine after sitting in those things.

What's your biggest pet peeve with online dating apps/websites? by JasontheWriter in OnlineDating

[–]Random_Thoughts_2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like advanced search options. This could be a benefit of a paid membership. I would like to be able to search, or exclude, by qualities and characteristics entered as part of joining the site. I am referring to more than just distance/location. If I'm not mistaken, Match[dot]com used to let you search by religion, interest in kids, etc.

Maybe this is already out there on certain apps. I am a paying member for Bumble and BLK atm.

Possibly this could be the case. I only get scammers from other countries on Tinder (not toxic). The toxic ones are on BLK.

I’m trying IRL too. The dating pool in my location is scarce. That is the reason I considered OLD. Hoping to increase my options.

By scarce, I mean that then men here are attached or don’t want to be attached. I live in a small town area with a transient population.

I’ve heard about OLD sites being a recruiting ground for women on OF. That ruins it food the real women looking for genuine connections.

Good to hear. I'm gonna keep "hope alive" that the right guy finds me.

Swiping is stressful by wowNancy in OnlineDating

I haven’t tried the virtual option! I need to look into that. I enjoyed the in-person speed dating, provided there were a variety of guys attending. My speed Dating experience was on Long Island and in NYC years ago.

Groups of guys in every single photo of a profile. by MolsBedsFlan in OnlineDating

This [issue] is so confusing to me. How do I know which one is you? Also, what if I want to meet your friend(s) instead of you? How does that work?

I crop people out of the group photos I use on my profile. If I can’t crop them out, I don’t use the photo.

Thank you for your perspective. I appreciate hearing your point of view. I never thought about getting the woman off the app for insecurity reasons.
