I think sadly there’s way too many people out there who are just looking for a lifestyle accessory, someone whose appearance/job whatever can be used for social status and impressing other people rather than genuinely wanting a partnership with someone else.

My personality definitely carries me.
But also my personality doesn’t come across over text that much.

And I’d probably find it hard cause my personality is definitely tailored to my bf now so I’d find it hard to shake that and I’d get upset that the new bf wasn’t squealing like a pig when I try to stick my finger up his bum for a laugh.

Nah I think it cuts deeper than that re: height specifically for quite a lot of people with regards to feeling safe/protected by their partner etc.

#97

Yeah I have no need to feel protected.

No masters. No leaders. No boyfriends.

Oh god, I was thinking exactly this the other night… I love our senses of humour together. He makes me laugh more than anyone ever. I think I’d find it very hard to find someone that came close to this or didn’t find me insanely irritating after a while. This is why he can never leave me :vampire: bawahaha.

Had lots of lovely conversations and a few nice dates. This was pre-Tinder. Tinder seems like 50% bloody brilliant and 50% what-fresh-hell-is-this.

This is the problem that I have. My personality / sense of humour doesn’t come across that well through a text conversation when there’s not so much room for spontaneity / everything’s so mediated.

But then, if I’m interested in someone in the “real world”, it usually takes time (or kind of being introduced by way of a mutual friend) before I come out of my shell and then I fret and whine on DiS about not feeling there’s ever a good time to ask her out.

Please ensure the orderly queue does not obstruct pedestrians or road users. Thank you, madam.

my tinder date on sunday said I looked nothing like my photos (they were all recent ones taken this year) - but didn’t specify if this was a good thing or a bad thing :neutral_face:

Try it every couple of months but then realise I’m absolutely terrible at making myself sound interesting or starting conversations, so end up hating myself and binning it off

Here’s a a catalogue of various types. I mostly got weird back-handed insults, copy and paste cheesy chat up lines (esp the “my friend said your profile had to be written by a man” one) or the weirdly creepily specific sexual ones.

#106

Haha oh for gods sake. People are so stupid sometimes aren’t they? It’s like errr, hello??!

But then, photos of people are an odd thing, no one ever looks the same as they do in photos. I’m sure that’s all she meant.

This is no surprise:

#108

not if you describe yourself like that though

Met my girlfriend on Tinder. We’d been going out for two years by then.

I regret to inform you that OkCupid is very good and fill of lovely people. Dunno what it’s like for old people, sorry.

I think that line alone was severe grounds alone for dumping him.
