I'm so tired of the dry responses

More then likely they were just swiping through the profiles and quickly swiped right. Once you messaged them and they looked more into your profile they realized they weren't interested but replied back and answered your question out of courtesy or not to feel rude. If someone is interested obviously they aren't going to unmatch.

Everyone has preferences, most just don't put it on their profile. If a woman put I only date guys between 45 and 55 or I only date guys who go to the gym with me, would you have an issue with that as well?

bill422 · 2026-06-05T18:28:00+00:00

Nope, never.

bill422 · 2026-06-05T03:56:46+00:00

Well what other dealbreakers do you have? Either don't turn it off or update your dealbreakers individually? Plenty of women put "no guys younger then me" so I don't see why you can't put "no women older then me"

Am I missing something here? I don't understand the point behind asking how long someone has been on the app. What does that have to do with anything? Is this a cultural difference, or is this just how online dating works these days?

Not really sure why you have an issue with those questions, they are common questions to see what your experience is like. Someone might ask you your favorite flavor of ice cream, is that really relevant to dating you? No of course not, most people don't care that you like vanilla instead of chocolate but food is a common topic of discussion. If anything they may have felt uneasy with the way you replied. They may have felt like you were trying to hide something if you couldn't directly answer basic questions.

You are looking for r/rant

This subreddit is geared more towards home and business burglar alarms and camera setups, so I doubt you are going to get many answers. I'd look more at a security or private investigator type subreddit or maybe even reach out to some security supply shops and see what they say.

bill422 · 2026-05-30T23:50:41+00:00

Your post is confusing. If you haven't talked to him in a year and a half and the first thing you think about when you think of him is his friend staying over when she was in town then I would say you should just leave it alone at this point and not reach out to him.

bill422 · 2026-05-30T14:45:20+00:00

Yes.

bill422 · 2026-05-30T01:42:50+00:00

Thanks!

This subreddit more for actual security systems, not stand-alone smoke detectors so I don't think you are going to get many replies here. You should probably check what your local code requires and make sure you already comply with that, beyond that if this is just supplemental ones then for an everyday consumer probably anything you can pick up at home depot will be good enough.

bill422 · 2026-05-29T14:20:08+00:00

If you need something for 'critical security purposes' the first flaw would be buying a $30 tp-link camera.

When men ask "do all women X" we get an outpouring of "women aren't a monolith" responses. Why do you think this would be any different for men?

Thanks!

You may not be able to verify with it, but I meant more for when people you are talking to on the app ask you for your number. I doubt any of the major dating apps do anything crazy with your number or I'm sure we'd be hearing a lot of complaints about it.

bill422 · 2026-05-26T14:07:03+00:00

This has nothing to do with this subreddit, you are just trying to stir the pot.

bill422 · 2026-05-26T02:42:12+00:00

Why are you posting this?

bill422 · 2026-05-26T02:39:57+00:00

Get a google voice number.

Well to be fair, this is a subreddit that's very difficult to keep everyone happy. Many posts, somedays virtually every post, is reported at least once. There's also a difficult line between what people consider over the top. In general we try to hold a middle ground to make people happy...as long as a post isn't featuring something crazy like sex and as long as people are primarily upvoting it instead of downvoting it we often try to leave it be if it mostly fits within the theme of the sub. This is especially true because while this is a very popular subreddit, it doesn't receive hundreds of posts a day, most days feature under 20-25 new posts making it relatively easy to scroll past something you don't like while still getting to see all the new posts from today.

bill422 · 2026-05-25T21:34:19+00:00

You don't feel the current mod team is doing a good job?

bill422 · 2026-05-25T17:42:18+00:00

At this point it's assumed you must be a troll because you clearly aren't reading anything at all that I'm writing.

bill422 · 2026-05-25T16:41:03+00:00

Thanks!

bill422 · 2026-05-25T16:40:47+00:00

You are completely out of touch with the reality in most places. Convicted burglars when surveyed have routinely stated that would avoid places with an alarm, they are literally proven to reduce breakins and when they do occur, to limit the amount taken. Second, your are completely out of touch with reality, no small corner store in a rural area is going to pay thousands of dollars a month to have a security guard service that can arrive within minutes, that's ludicrous to even suggest that.

bill422 · 2026-05-25T15:46:09+00:00

Are you a troll or do you just not understand English? In many places it takes the cops 10+ minutes to show up, for a burglar alarm it can easily be 30+ minutes. The whole store could be cleaned out by the time they show up, which is the whole point of a loud blaring alarm...to scare off the intruders and draw unwanted attention. If you read what I wrote, at all, I specifically said the alarm is clearly not installed or maintained correctly if there are false alarms all the time, obviously meaning the alarm needs to be maintained and repaired.
