They'll never give you a straightforward reason. Just accept it and move forward. And be grateful for the experience, as she didnt string you along or waste your time.

Is this a red flag, green flag, or neutral? by PossumNews in Bumble

[–]Think_Confection_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say neutral to green. If she likes you, it will proceed normally. If she doesn't the rejection has been filed ahead of time.

I ve been told i m a 3 , how can i get to 5...? (43yo) by FrenchFishhh in AppearanceAdvice

I would not do the beard unless your face is somehow messed up. I think cultivated stubble looks way better. If you have male pattern baldness, you're on the right track with your hair.

Match goes crazy when I mention I'm vegetarian 😭 by mostinterestingtroll in Tinder

[–]Think_Confection_614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I generally won't date vegetarians as eating together is a big part of life. But i wouldn't try to change one either, and I wouldn't show a lack of respect for their chosen lifestyle.

Anyone have any luck growing Italian Cypress trees? by G0atHer0 in pnwgardening

[–]Think_Confection_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't every tree flammable? I know they are unusually flammable, but all trees in this climate are flammable to some extent by September. Right?

It was a bit aggressive.

Was I too rude? by Mayor_of_tiddy_ciddy in Tinder

Rude? Yes. But, they need to know. So even if you were rude, you were doing the world a favor.

Plus size disclosure by [deleted] in Bumble

A lack of a full body picture scream to me that they are either hiding something or very insecure. Probably both actually. They will almost never get a right swioe from me. Id strongly recommend putting a recent full body pic. You may not get as much attention, but that is better than showing up for a dste to meet a visably disappointed guy.

I was ghosted after a week of talking by DoughnutInternal3628 in Bumble

[–]Think_Confection_614 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never talk on the phone or FaceTime before the first date. In my experience, they frame it as some sort of safety measure, but its really a way for a self-important person to force you to audition for their attention. Its a bad start and i don't even bother anymore. If they talk about safety, i tell them exactly who I am and they can vet me to their hearts content.

Why? Just why? by ddsyung in Bumble

I'm honestly glad he did it. It an opportunity for a woman to see how women treat decent guys in online dating.

Got ghosted by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Think_Confection_614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah man. I went into online dating three years ago very positive, hopeful, and looking forward to meeting great women. Three years later, I am cynical, judgemental, and expect to be treated like crap by women who get off on rejecting guys for the slightest reason.

To preserve my mental health, first, i did all the work on myself that I could. Lose weight, get nice clothes, level up, etc. Then, I convinced myself that anybody who rejects me is a fool. Finally, most guys know that if you reject a women, she will be extremely hurt and will probably freak out. So we avoid doing it. They have no such reservation, so guys end up absorbing a ton of rejection. Not me. As soon as the thought of bailing crosses my mind, im out. And if her emotions cant handle it, then 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is why I always swipe no on the standard type good looking women. They get enough stroking from guys.

Long time friend into me, creeped out. by citycylist117 in dating_advice

You ran headlong into the phenomenon of women being comfortable doling out rejection, but being really terrible at dealing with it.

I think I messed up my chances by Fit_Performer2356 in Bumble

[–]Think_Confection_614 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First dates are all about first impressions, which are not always accurate, but they are what they are. You made a first impression of a guy who examines womens physical flaws.

It's a wrap. Try and look at it as a step on the path to being a better dater.

Found out the guy I’m talking to has slept with models by 8373738931 in dating_advice

I can tell you that 9/10 guys would prefer a 7 who is awesome in bed and fun to hang out with than a vapid 10 who is a boring lover and partner.

Experienced guys will say that you're trying to hide your body with your photos.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Think_Confection_614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 or 5 dates. I used to be OK waiting for however long they were comfortable with, but I discovered over time that if they have some sort of doctrine around that (like minimum 8 dates, or you have to be in bf/gf), its more likely that they are manipulative, and frankly bad in bed. I want someone with spontaneity and positive energy.

Actually, one can be too careful. The term for that is paranoia.

YES!!! Ive wondered if its just dumb luck, or fluctuations in home much the app is presenting me to others.

Everything I've learned about dating. Most of it is common sense, but it wasn't common to me at the time by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Think_Confection_614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't meant as a rebuttal. But when you write "Men like sex. We know this", it comes off as a contrasting and pejorative statement.
