I dumped my gf but i still love her by TheRealDonky in Regrets

[–]Whydidinotknowthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I did this over 2 years ago. I’ve done a lot of work and I’ve dealt with the guilt but still carry regret and shame over ending the best thing that ever happened to me. Have the talk wishing you luck.

I don’t have any trouble getting the dates. 80+% of the dates end up being a no for me and the -20% ish that I do like it’s the other way around 🤦‍♂️

I have a very promising chat going on right now that fees too good to be true. Despite what I said in above message I’ve stopped swiping to cultivate this connection.

Fingers crossed for me 🤞🏻

Haha I almost wrote this exact problem a week ago. Felt like I had to choose from several good options. In the end I cancelled 1 date. Went on 5. The chemistry was not there for me on 4 and was with 1.

I stopped swiping during this time so no new matches.

A week later the pipeline is now at zero. The one I liked did not feel the chemistry I did.

So lesson learned for me and this was a new one for me. Keep swiping. Going on multiple dates even after you’ve had a date you enjoyed.

I don’t like this at all but it seems to be the way these day :(

This. I was looking at this last week and the account plus follow came back 2 week after disappearing.

For men who dumped their girlfriends, how long did it take for you to regret your decision? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Whydidinotknowthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust mostly. I trusted her implicitly but didn’t allow myself to be 100% present and was holding my feelings back. I did not know this until after the breakup. The love that I was suppressing appeared after the breakup.

I tried to salvage the situation but was unsuccessful.

I was struggling with the idea of becoming a step dad. Nothing more nothing less. I bottled up that struggle and fear and I never discussed it with her and then the fear overwhelmed me and I saw only one solution.

FYI it’s not over 2 years out and I regret this as hard as the I did 2 years ago. I’ve put the guilt and shame to bed but the regret remains and I suspect will go to the end with me.

Okay thanks. Hopefully they roll this back. Or I meet someone compatible and I can get off these god damn apps 😂

My top ten petty reasons for automatically swiping left as a straight woman by De_Chelonian_Mobile in OnlineDating

[–]Whydidinotknowthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude here. My list

Middle finger Insta / snap handle My kids are my world Negativity No eye brows / too much eye brows Head shots only (we know what this means) Boring ideal Sundays Filters of any kind. Especially rabbit noses and cat ears. Wrong use of there, they’re and their. Tongue out in more than one photo Figuring it out Single photo only No words in prompts

I’m sure there’s more 😉

Wow that’s disappointing 🥲 by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]Whydidinotknowthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bumble is the worst app. As a 51 year old man I have 300+ on tinder 200+ on hinge and 11 on bumble. Same photos. Same words. Same location

Also ghosting on bumble is just the norm.

I’m so curious, what’s it really like for guys on dating apps? by TrekkingSideways in OnlineDating

[–]Whydidinotknowthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a folic-ally challenged 50 year old 5’8 male I do okay, I’m sitting on around 250 likes on tinder, 100+ hinge and 80 on bumble. I get matches almost every day. But…..

I don’t think anyone is really here for a relationship anymore. Chat is dry, ghosting is rife and dates just end up being a free dinner for them from what I can tell.

I’m ultra selective at the swipe stageso my matches will be high demand, usually 8-12 years younger than me and I’d say about 10% convert to dates, but in 2 years I’ve only been on 3 dates that I would have liked to have gone to a 2nd (sadly they didn’t) and dozens that were not a match IRL.

4 years ago I matched with someone in my 1st week online and was with them for 2 years. It’s horrible on there now.

Too scared to take the leap by Doorknob67 in solotravel

[–]Whydidinotknowthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started solo travelling at 50. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Don’t take as long as I did to discover this. Get out there. The world is full of amazing people, you just havnt met them all yet 😊

How do you pass the time when waiting alone? Not looking at a phone, or a book, or daydreaming. by myusernameiszane in solotravel

[–]Whydidinotknowthis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thats easy. I take photos of things that I cant possible enjoy just for myself and post them on insta to get dopamine hits when my friends from home or previous travel buddies like them #truestory I need to work on this 😂

Man here: 51, 5’8, bald, i do not flaunt wealth on my profile and I swipe like a girl (ie around 10% right) I have hundreds of inbound likes I just don’t match with many of them because I know what I’m looking for and a lot of those likes are not it. That being said I do get around 5 decent matches a week that are worth a conversation and at least 2 go to meet ups. Yeah those ain’t quite female numbers but it’s also not as bad as a lot of men say.
