You were insinuating that not having a relationship is a better state of being and that single people should ashamed for not having one. You just did it again in this post as well.

E: I only spoke up now cause I only properly read this thread today btw

For myself. And that someone who has convinced themselves without ever trying otherwise may be missing out and that’s a shame.

I’m not sure why you’re assuming that we’ve never tried

I’m not sure why you are assuming it’s too late.

Reckon I get between one and zero app notifications a week. Just don’t really bother engaging with them anymore

Maybe I will be one day, maybe I won’t. I dunno what the future’s gonna bring. I do know that if I am in a relationship it doesn’t bring my life more value than if I’m single.

You’re explicitly saying that people in a relationship are better off. It’s a bullshit societal expectation that is harmful to people who are single and quite frankly, it’s none of your business what anyone else’s relationship status is.

Just spotted a guy on an app whose “I’ll get along with you if…” section reads “you get on board the banter bus”.

His “I wont shut up about…” is simply “seo”

Well let’s hope my posts were of some value to people wanting to make a change in their own lives. I don’t give a shit about society or norms.

:confused: I could imagine someone incredibly lovely but socially awkward asking their more confident mates to write their tinder bio for them and completely misrepresenting themselves. (not saying this is the case here, the lad in question may well be a prize tool).

Dating apps are a massive slog few people in the world might be compatible with you. It’s very hard to represent your complex personality with a few words and a couple of pictures. Dating apps do represent an opportunity to meet new people though and if you’re looking for an avenue it will present one. Even if you have to have dozens of dull dates with people you don’t click with to find someone more compatible. I’ve had some great relationships and made good friends through tinder and plenty of disappointing evenings, I’m lucky though living in a big city, it’s harder in more rural environments.

I don’t think it’s healthy to look at either being in a relationship or being single as a better sense of being. We’ve just got to try to enjoy our lives and enhance the people in the world we care about.
