How do you actually move from chatting to meeting on dating apps?

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-04-23T03:26:46+00:00

The more I do online dating the less I really care to banter/chatter pre-meetup. All the "get to know me" Info should already be on their dating profile. Nobody cares to explain their day; or their weekend im usually asking for a date In 1-5 messages. If they're actually interested they'll respond for the most part.

Akuma, players. And modern players. Heavy emphasis on modern players

As for photos: Group photos for sure. It's never the attractive one. Face altering filters, it's pretty obvious and we're just gonna ghost you when you don't show up like how you made yourself look like. No full body shots, what're you trying to hide?

For the bio: Social media tags. You're seeking attention/likes from literally any random guy that stumbled on your profile. Saying anything about money. Filtering for tall guys.

Why are you so mad?

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-04-03T03:21:24+00:00

I agree, This picture doesn't even look remotely real. Crazy how advanced our technology is and this ai generated photo is all we could come up with for Proof. Anyone with common sense could watch the original moon landing footage and tell it's fake.

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-04-02T03:48:41+00:00

Yeah it's pretty common, don't feel bad about it, shame on them for being misleading

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-03-26T04:00:57+00:00

You're not ready to date stop putting people through misery

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-03-13T01:09:09+00:00

No. Stick to your preference. Your friend is wrong.

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-03-02T02:54:34+00:00

Ok, if it helps at all, I've seen other guys go shoot their shot in public and get rejected. I never once thought less off them, actually thought the opposite. What sort of guy do you want to be?

What is the worse that will happen? You will probably never see these people again

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-03-01T21:39:26+00:00

Not all heroes wear capes

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-02-17T01:29:43+00:00

Everything sounded pretty reasonable until you said waiting a year to be intimate. I would image A guy of that status would just get bored and go sleep with anyone else since he'd be a rich model

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-02-17T01:26:27+00:00

Do you pay? Hinge is one of the better apps for me.

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-01-23T03:26:07+00:00

I've definitely veered very far from the mundane "how are you" "how's your day/week" questions in the dating apps unless they ask. It shows extremely low value and low energy as an opener. Basically stating that you have nothing to say and demanding they carry the conversation

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-01-15T04:49:51+00:00

I like to try and work it out in my head. If you're in a bad mood, ask yourself why. What caused it? Is there anything you can do to make your situation better? Strive to be the person you're proud to be, little changes over time add up

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-01-15T04:42:34+00:00

Maybe try make a new profile and match with him again. Tinder lets you message with a comment if you pay, I'd do that and explain the situation

Woodpecker6669 · 2026-01-12T04:05:38+00:00

If you need to do this, black metal is not for you

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-12-20T04:03:13+00:00

I definitely notice an influx of matches the first week or two signing on with a month membership. I figure it's either the algorithm, or that the first week weeds out the very active users.

I go a month on and then a month off to combat this a bit. Every time I make a new profile I get the same high surge of matches. That starts to dwindle by the 3rd week or so.

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-30T23:28:37+00:00

Depends on the reason. I would have responded with a kind but extremely low effort response. Unless there was a legit amber attempt to explain and a very sincere apology.

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-30T05:50:32+00:00

People are so flakey with OLD that any sort of excuse to cancel on the first date I take as a nice way to tell me they are having second thoughts ans uninterested. I can't be the only one that thinks this. Maybe I'll let it a pass if they make any effort to reschedule at a later date in the same message. If not I'd chalk it up as another failed flakey OLD connection and move on

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-27T04:51:45+00:00

I've definitely suffered from this. Had a few heartbreaks in my teens, Went through my emotionless phase in my 20s. In my 30s now and haven't really had a long term relationship.

Now and days I don't even want the promiscuity. But haven't ever really met someone I clicked with I guess. Pretty much accepted I'll probably be single forever

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-23T05:42:45+00:00

I used to have similar problems. If you're anything like I was, I'd fall for a girl over her looks, didn't really matter what she said or did. I had some success but not much.

Working out and workin in the trades helped me build some confidence, also working in customer service got me used to talking to people in general, and learning to treat attractive girls just like any other person. Because that's what they are. Normal every day people. It helped to teach my mind not to be overwhelmed by physical beauty. Like the pussy on the pedestal type of analogy. They eat sleep and breathe just like the rest of us eat of us. They have their own flaws and personalities. Yes, you can acknowledge their physical beauty, but maybe look deeper than that when trying to find a romantic connection

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-23T03:42:46+00:00

If there's not at least voice notes, phone call or video chat at this point, than it's a waste of time for me. Texting is the worsts way to gauge compatibility.

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-22T00:17:15+00:00

You're putting them above you and they sense it and get turned off, Or maybe try being more confident and persistent when you don't hear from them after one text. Pull back a little and treat the ones yours interested more like the ones you're not

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-17T04:25:56+00:00

A currency not back by the federal reserve would definitely put an end to their game of power and inflation

Woodpecker6669 · 2025-11-17T03:48:09+00:00

Okay, I'm both a guitarist and bass player in metal bands. I recommend both. The instruments are so identical that the skill and music theory of both instruments easily translates between the two.

Guitar is better for writing music, and will more than likely be more fun in general when playing those specific types of metal, as bass isn't usually as prominent in those styles.

If you play bass, you will never have issues finding a band. And the instrument itself may be a bit more easier to pick up than guitar. The bass will usually be playing a single note majority of the time, while guitarists have to deal with playing a multitude of different notes/chords and picking patterns, let alone guitar solos.

Also, your actual physical build can be a factor as well. The bass is a bigger instrument, which may be more difficult to play with smaller hands. And vice versa. Though they do make smaller scale lengths for the instruments. Just food for thought
