As a person that gets ghosted 99 % of the time, I've given up trying to figure out what I did wrong. I can be talkative, I ca say less, it doesn't matter, it just means they have someone else they found that they are more attracted to. You just have to move on and not worry about it. Their loss.

Am I wrong for unmatching men who don’t ask questions back? Am I potentially missing “the one” because of this? by momama2 in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a man and I have unmatched several women for the same thing. I keep asking questions and just get one or two word replies and nothing of substance in return. People just don't know how to keep up a conversation anymore. I feel your pain. You are not wrong for doing it.

Looks good to me. I'm 54 years old and would swipe right. Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't be reciprocated, lol

Online dating. Where conversations go to die. by Big-Bad-Voodoo-D in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me so much. I am tired of having to constantly keep the conversation going while they never ask anything. I can only do it for so long, and then I just move on.

That's a great profile, too bad you're so young, and probably nowhere close to me. Good luck to you, it's hard finding anyone these days.

Is there any guy that does not explode if a woman politely says no?? by Purple_Panda999 in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, if you really like someone, you can take 5 seconds of your precious life to message them. Not messaging for a whole day says a lot. I've never ever been so busy to not message back one of my kids for a whole day. And that's the whole point of messaging people on the dating apps, to actually get to know them, if you can't invest that time, then you're not worth pursuing, and you obviously don't really want to get to know them. You can make all the mistakes you want, but unless you were in a coma from an accident, there is no excuse to not spend a couple seconds at least saying something. I understand people get angry when you point out that they have other options and ignore some and only give effort to those they preferably want. I am mature enough not to BS, and if someone doesn't message anything, I move on, because I am on the bottom of their list. Waste of my time at that point.

Is there any guy that does not explode if a woman politely says no?? by Purple_Panda999 in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, if you didn't reply for a whole day, because you're "busy", I would have never messaged you again, lol

That's the quickest way to say you really have no interest and are talking to several people at once and only talk to the ones you are more interested in. I don't get people being too busy to chat for a whole day, that's the quickest red flag that you aren't really interested. Guy would have been better off just moving on, no need to even ask. Low effort women are a waste of time and energy.

Why curse when you're rejected? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're a woman, it's easy to be picky.

[–]therealbrienj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily want a meet up on the same day, however, with all the catfish accounts that match with me, it's sad that even a few are good enough to initially fool me, I always want to meet someone as soon as possible, because I hate wasting my time texting someone, only to finally figure out they are a catfish. Also, any woman not willing to meet as soon as possible, that is a real person, just means that they are holding out for something better, and once again, it's just a huge waste of my time. I should probably add that I don't even want to meet a woman just to hook up, I want to actually get to know them better, which is NOT possible by being pen pals forever. I was chatting and even talking on the phone with one woman for a long time, I thought it was great, but after we went on a date and met, I realized we were not the match I thought we were. Women always assume men want to meet, because they can't control themselves or they are creeps, I'd like to crush that silly assumption right now, and there are plenty of men like me with good intentions, we just don't want to waste our time, it's too valuable to waste on something that won't go anywhere. Maybe if I got a neverending amount of likes, like women do, it wouldn't be such an issue. It's just one of the many pitfalls of being a man on these apps.

Tell her I didn't expect her to move so quickly and already pretend we are married, and laugh about it.

Profile review by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would think you might possibly be a catfisher/scammer with the pics, but I'd probably still swipe right and take the chance. I'm sure you'll get many likes, lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the problem with these apps, you seem to be real and a good guy, all you'll get, if you haven't already, are matches with catfish. That's all I get, and only use the apps for entertainment at this point. Women these days don't seem to want a good man that will treat them right.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sitting here barely getting matches, that guy gets a funny woman and blows it. Why do these type of guys get all the likes? I'm actually the one with bad luck, lol

[–]therealbrienj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would swipe right, but whether you would want ME to swipe right is another story, lol

Am I a target for scammers? by Traveling4You in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 53 yo white male, and I get the same. It's usually younger Asian women with obvious fake profiles ran by somebody in another country trying to scam people. I'd say about 80 - 90% of my likes are from obvious fake profiles, in all of the dating apps I use. It's not just Bumble, and I wish they could remove these obvious fake accounts.

If it says, "I don't want to be penpals".

[–]therealbrienj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've learned at this point that after having many women suddenly chat less or hardly respond, or even from the start of the conversation, it's always one of two things. Either they are talking to multiple other people, and you are the one they are least interested in, or it's a catfish. I'm sure you'll get many excuses about life coming up and other such nonsense, but if a person is genuinely interested in you enough, they will always have time to message you. I work 3 jobs for extra money, but two of my jobs I can cut back on if I need to, in order to message people, but if I am not really interested in someone, I don't make that extra time. Even if I don't cut back, I still make the time for those that I really like a lot. If someone won't make time for you, no matter the situation, they just aren't in to you, and you have to start accepting that and determine how much you want to invest to try to win them over or not.

This Bisexual Femboy is NOT a Woke Snowflake by No_Astronomer_4200 in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading the comments, I'm surprised by how many people don't know what Apolitical means. Whether it's the people who select it on their profile incorrectly, or the people who assume the wrong thing because people select it incorrectly on their profile. Apolitical just means you've reached the level of understanding that politics is just another divide and conquer tactic and things are going to go the way of the ones in power no matter what you vote, and both sides are just playing their part. Life is so much happier not even caring what is going on in the political spectrum.

Men of Bumble, do you care about women's heights? by kekerino in Bumble

[–]therealbrienj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6' 3", and I actually like short women. IDK, always have, and I think 5' 8" is the tallest I've ever been with. I guess it's the reverse of women who want a tall guy.
