    I have such an easy time on dating sites. If they message me first I know it’s a bot. 100% of the time the next message is either a link or asking if I have some random off site messaging thing they’ll send me a link on.

    I guess they see my profile and know think “he’s gotta be desperate, just look at that pathetic fuck.”

    “Lol” …

        I actually forgot that was a thing! I liked the sites that let you actually have a decent bio like plenty of fish and okcupid since I really want to know about the person and not just how attractive they can look in a picture :/

        Then okcupid became tinder 2.0 swipe only and pof is apparently trying to become a streaming service…

      I’m pretty sure that would be spammed to everyone. Chin up mate you don’t even come off that way.

      Anyway check out the nudes Ive posted and DM me some time.

    PSA: If you’re a guy on a dating site and you reply with just “hey” or something similar to a lady then you’ve fucked up.

    You get one shot at a semi-witty reply that may get her to smile before your reply is buried under 100 other guys also vying for her attention.

    Just quickly read her profile and make some kind of riff off of it with an open ended question.

    “Hey blahblah I saw you liked The Office, I’m more of a fan of working from home myself.

    Also, why’s everyone seem to be looking for Jim? Who’s that guy?”

      I guess, but wasn’t the point of bumble to turn that on it’s head? Like, traditionally, the guy on a dating site is supposed to come up with a semi-witty first text in order to not be buried. Bumble set itself apart by having the lady message first to avoid that, right? What happened?
