Isn't the entire point of the profile and matching system to filter incompatible people out? Why can I match with 50 people and not a single one wants to get a coffee or something after exchanging a few pleasantries? Everybody hates these things and yet they refuse to do anything IRL to get off them. Is there some Manchurian candidate activation codeword that I'm missing? I feel like everyone treats this shit solely as an ego booster and actually gets pissed off that anyone tries to interact with them. How do you meet people in hellworld if you don't drink?
Me after dozens of dead-end back-and-forths that lead to nowhere despite having shared interests and presumably being attracted to each other since we matched:
Hmm, maybe it's the extreme commodification of relationships and atomization under capitalism that prevents you from getting anywhere with this garbage
Nope, must be because @SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net didn't say my favorite "The Office" quote and send me a playlist with 50 of the greatest songs I've never heard that made me instantly fall in love with them. I have no idea what other people expect from these things but I'm not doing labor for someone that I don't even know is real. Thanks for reading my rant, any advice is appreciated.
I got off those horrid apps when I realized that they were worse than social media. Which I've completely done my best to separate from.
After years of therapy I came to the conclusion that dating apps had to go much like my porn consumption (a habit I kicked years ago)
But it seems that's just how everyone meets nowadays, I'm 30 now and I'm starting to accept that just maybe this is my life from now on.
My mom really wants me to find someone to the point she will pressure almost anyone on me, but in my dating I've always lost them once we touch the topics of politics....
I'm starting to prepare my life to accept being alone
Trust me I don't bring it up at all but sometimes they just want to bring up a hot button topic and honestly I'd rather just be myself now.... If speaking for humanity is wrong or comes off too strong then so be it. At least you got the real me and not some fake me.
For a long moment I felt like I had to show myself out for somebody to take an interest. At my age, I just kind of feel like if you don't like me as I am. I like the peace and quiet sometimes even when it gets lonely. Theres gotta be someone there but I'm not doing dating apps... I absolutely hate that environment it's not ADHD friendly
