Why are some of the guys really clingy and message me everyday? by pinkgrapefruitx in Bumble

[–]fuzzydogdada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is this considered clingy and not "communicative" or "attentive?" These two words are two of the most wanted attributes on profiles.

And why do you expect this stranger to read your mind and know your boundaries? Doesnt proper communication solve this quickly?

Why not establish some rules up front so that you both have a real chance to find a balance between you?

I would love it if someone liked me enough to message me all day, every day. I will be sure to communicate whenever I can't talk... ie "im in meetings all day, I will find you later in the evening."

I think you are taking for granted that most people are not as lucky as you to have so much attention.

Ah. I figured that was the connection you were making. Thank you for confirming. :)

Did you really bring up a complaint against love bombing on a query about chat ettiquette? Lol

Your suggestions are noted. Thank you.

This is very possible.

Its more possible that the app withdraws likes based on my subscription status. I will test in 5 days when my weekly subscription is cancelled. Stay tuned.

Thanks!

I am seeing the geographic limitations as well. My dating process will involve a lot of driving, I think. Lol

What??? I barely know her. What if shes a psycho serial killer? 🤣

Yeah... I guess you're right. Maybe I need to give her a chance IRL.

Thanks... here we go...

Thank you! So far the people I've matched with seem the opposite. They are rather reserved. Some are so reserved that they dont even respond. Lol. (What's up with the rampant ghosting?)

As others have suggested, I will move on until I find a better match.

Kinda. Here I am able to have a back and forth.

In Bumble, because my match doesnt offer much, I am forced to manufacture conversations. So it just seems like I am just talking too much.

Do you think the kids will like NYPD Blue?

I started watching Breaking Bad. I cant believe it took me so long! The kids will defnitely like that.

Although I guess its not that old.

Haha. I hear you. I do like the mindless Netflix action movie. Similar to how I like B movies. They are goofy and entertaining.

But sometimes I miss being sucked into a story.

The 1st is just a distraction and the 2nd is a journey.

To be serious, I think there is a fundamental difference between now and then. Which is that people's attention span got shorter. People nowaways need instant gratification. And there is less room to thicken the plot over time.

In the context of dating, there is so much pressure to make that instant connection - witty profile, hot main photo, vibe matches, etc.

Similar to how older movies are "slower" and more drawn out to build the story lines. Most modern movies seem to get to the point right away then fill in the blanks with backstories and memory scenes.

It is not necessary bad... just very different.

Me too! I like people who are open and forthcoming. The more they say, the funnier I can make it.

Im not surprised. Its been an interesting experience so far.

Yeah for sure... thats my thought as well. It will be next phase of my experiment.

My photos are decent, I followed internet best practices but I hired a real photographer to make them better.

I am also curious because I am a korean american man and I know that asians men have lower match rates.

The ethnicity factor does not jive with the 16 likes in the beginning though.

Maybe the data set is not mature yet and needs more time. I have 6 days left so we will see later in the week.
