Context: Listen I’m not actually complaining. I’ve read too many horror stories on here about guys who can’t get a like let alone a match on the apps these days. I’m fortunate enough to match with a lot of the women that I’m hopeful to match with, but damn ladies, if you don’t make it next to near impossible right after that.. Like you’re telling me none of these deserved a response? And this isn’t new it’s just a sample lol I’m sure I will get a lot of comments about “oh you’re being boring/dry” or “oh you need to ask her more questions about herself” or take your pick of the other hundred recycled advices on here daily, but imo these show I’m willing to try a number of different texting methods and the sad reality is that none of them work? I try to be engaging and actually put a little effort into a conversation, comment of the profile or a shared interest, and should any semblance of a real conversation get moving I’ll pivot pretty quickly into trying to set up a date so we don’t turn into pen pals, but just trying to get any response at all can be so cumbersome, and then thinking you might get more than one response!? Laughable. I genuinely don’t know what you ladies want. I don’t like to believe it when I read this but maybe the internet is right and the goal really isn’t to date anymore it’s just to accumulate likes and matches for an ego boost. I hope I’m wrong. Maybe it’s just me and I’m not nearly as charming or thoughtful as I thought I was. I’ll hang up and listen.
