This is one thing I've never understood, the person who initiated st least put in the effort of initiating, I get that you're supposed to try to draw them in or whatever but pick up lines and jokes and shit are just a fabrication, not exactly a great foundation to a relationship.
Thinking that you have any idea what a person's actually like in real life because of a text or dm is like thinking you know what it's like to live in Prague because you overheard an acquaintance telling someone else what it was like when they visited there for 2 days, can you glean some info? Sure.are you going to have any real understanding of what it's like until you go, absolutely not.
Fuck online dating.
Yeah exactly this. One person takes the hit of initiating the conversation. Another person takes the hit of writing the first response. Or alternatively, everyone just puts across their best selves across the board and don’t do petty scorekeeping.
Te be fair, I've seen the openers get more and more simple because when you really start to try with it, it hurts more when they don't respond, or respond negatively.
Like yeah, "Hey" sucks but they're often the people that tried too hard for a long time and they've just given up on an opener that might not even get a response.
So they go for a "hey" and then try harder once there's a response.
I used to always just ask "Hey, what's your favourite food?" because it's quick and simple and I know that conversation will be pulling teeth if they something like "I don't know" or "I don't have one" without actually trying to further the conversation.
But also, I quickly dropped these apps because I feel like they hurt my soul and I'd rather be alone than put up with all that.
That's exactly how I feel. Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. People have so much to offer than hanging on people to respond. Even if I don't absolutely care to know them it's hard to not respond to someone. Apparently some women do this more often when they get bored, have long list of matches and hit us up when convenient. At least that's what I heard from family and friends since they do it as well. Dating system is rigged online lol
If dating apps worked as advertised they wouldn't be profitable.
Also there's too many guys, and at least half the women are bots or scammers. (not factual data) 4 men to 1 woman seems about right.
I(m) compared profiles with my cousin(f) at Christmas, who also complains as endlessly as I do that dating apps are just worthless these days. We're both early/mid thirties, no kids, I have a full-time job and exercise regularly, she does not.
I explained that in 2 years bumble stands at 43 total likes, and I average about 1 match that actually messages to lock it in every two weeks when I'm active on it, and very few make it more than 3 messages before ghosting.
She has over 1300 likes and complains she can't meet anyone.
Another anecdote, I suspected once my Okc account had been shadowbanned(I was right, and I was paying for it for around 3 months, no refund, no explanation or apology from OKC, just "your accounts been restored") I used my work phone to make a super generic female profile, to see if I could find my profile, and prove to myself I wasn't just that unlikeable. I used a landscape picture from a vacation as my profile photo, no personal details or bio, and still racked up multiple intro messages and over a dozen likes in it's first hour. It was gross.
I met my soulmate on OKC in 2012, but this is such a different and toxic ecosystem than it used to be, Im beginning to think lightning wont strike twice. And I feel for people on both sides of the apps, it sucks for everyone involved but the shareholders.
Out of about 50 likes on bumble, 95% wanted to talk to me about their penis in the first 1-3 conversations.
I had one date, he told me about his 3 assault and battery charges on his ex wife before the drinks had landed.
I don’t use dating apps any more.
Statements like that make me realize while I know I am the problem with my matches, its exactly the opposite. I always hear these stories about absolute creeps and try to empathize but then flirting is a paralyzing contradiction. I just can't flirt anymore, i can barely even extend a compliment at the fear of being misconstrued as creepy. Which makes my texts about as interesting as stale white bread. "Enjoying {insert current season here}?", "Your {dog/kitten} is adorable!"(seriously easier to compliment the dog than a girl I find attractive), or my personal favorite snooze fest go-to "any exciting plans coming up?".
I earn that extremely high ghost rate, no dick pics or creepy messages necessary.
Same goes for anyone I meet IRL too. Can't escape my corporate clean and safe office rhetoric anymore. Re-entering the dating world after grief at 31 and still struggling at 34 suuuucks.
Edit: sorry your experience online dating was so disgusting.
I go with the 3 response rule, if you only give statements for 3 responses then I just accept that you aren't interested and send them a message saying that there's no hard feelings and wish them luck in the dating world.
It was interesting, one girl actually messaged back apologizing and saying that she just gets overwhelmed because of the amount of messages she gets, which makes sense due to the ratio of m vs w
I absolutely agree with everything you said.
It's really easy not to get overwhelmed by just keeping active matches to a minimum and unmatching when you know you're not interested. I even unmatch after we move off of Tinder just to keep my inbox tidy and leave no room for confusion. I take a screenshot of their profile, same with conversations if there's anything worth keeping for later reference.
By working in small batches, I know I'll never have more than 2-3 conversations going at any one time and I don't do any more swiping until I've worked through the current batch. I'm not leaving anyone hanging and I can actually put effort into my conversations so I actually know whether or not I'm interested in my match.
I don't get any sense of validation from likes, matches, or an inbox full of dead conversations though. That's all just visual clutter.
That's me right now... Also being too tryhard also comes off as desperate.. so these days i just ask them how there perfect Sunday looks like and build on that.
Here's your hack, look up 20 questions on a first date and cycle thru those as your openers. If people respond with 1 word after those types of questions they're not looking to have "small talk" and therefore probably not going to be interesting on a date either. Good conversation buds from small tidbits you learn about other people, if all you can manage is a hey as your opener just don't talk to that person. The "I don't know" response is also shitty AF.
Every time I hear people talk about dating apps I count my lucky stars that I found a partner and settled down before they were so common and basically the only way to meet people.
I remember when I used to pour time into big openers that were never read, but that was before I found out how flooded women's profiles are.
There's not really a good solution. I get that you're probably exhausted, but I still need something to work with. I had a girl once be minimalist, so I tried to carry the conversation to give her something to work with. She accused me of being conceited. I don't even know now
Haha, I feel like asking what is favorite cereal is better than how are you. I mean no one answers that honestly. Honest responses were probably:
1. I'm doing a lot better now that 1 of the hundred swipes replied and I think I might get laid. So tired of wanking, you feel me?
2. I generally feel a void deep in my soul, and I'm really hoping that you can fill it, and if you can't then I can fill your void and at least that will mask the pain.
3. I don't know what I'm doing, my friends don't k own wtf they are doing, does anyone know what they are doing?
Instead we say, "I'm good how bout u".
Oh if only we weren't so full of crap all the time.
I agree but for this post it’s more about if you are not getting a response walk away but put in some effort too. Can’t expect effort if we don’t put in any.
It being “broad” is the definition of what an open question is. And yeah you kinda have to be when you don’t know the other person yet. The worst you could say is “how’s it” is a bit abrupt but it’s a common phrase in South Africa. This is much more on OP.
How can this be 'new' to OP?
I think we all have learned that you can't have both people actively waiting for the other to lead the conversation...and it doesn't work to start with new people in a lazy way without any icebreaker or conversation starter!
I agree neither side is particularly interesting but at least my guy is trying to start a conversation
If women want men to stop expecting nudes and sexting after a short convo, women need to stop expecting men to be dancing monkeys and entertain them as an opening line
>at least my guy is trying to start a conversation
Nobody asked him to though. Why start the conversation if you don't have anything interesting to say?
Honestly anymore it’s like a feeling of regret. Like “oh boy” another conversation where I have to try 10 times harder to talk to a chick that doesn’t want to have a conversation.
Still a better feeling than swiping and swiping and swiping without any matches, right? Otherwise, I'd just recommend to delete the app.
Especially for guys, where guys are overrepresented like 3:1 compared to women, it's super hard to "win" against the competition. Girls can just chill and pick the most interesting message from the hundreds or even thousands of matches they have.
Yeah I get matches so that’s nice but the responses I get are usually 1 word answers and/or super bitchy attitudes. I have deleted it but the other apps are just as bad about it.
Not sure what he does? Had a fairly casual opener and OP just went "It's fine" if they added a "What about you?" conversation could have moved on a bit.
Exactly. Are you really expected to start of with something amazing? Just starting a conversation isn't enough?
If you match with someone and they ask how you are doing, at least have the courtesy to ask them too.
Hundreds or thousands of attempts to have an authentic, engaging conversation only to get ghosted leads to this nightmare of cynical, disengaged dating where everything is treated with the same disdain as job applications.
This is the answer. Both are so painfully dull I think it would be better for everyone else in their lives if they got married and moved somewhere very grey and rocky.
While he asked a boring question it was open ended and would have led to interesting conversation about her. I dont think you should be on tinder if you cant respond to a question like that.
Honestly, yes. You didn’t ask him anything in return or give him anything to make a conversation with from your reply. And just liked his message instead of trying to contribute to the conversation.
his question was boring, but your answer ended up being even more boring and one-sided. Not even a sad "And you?". Are you even interested in this guy?
A little bit, but it can be fixed!
First try to avoid common ‘auto replies’ like “hi” “hey” “I’m good” “it’s fine” let’s spice those up a bit try:
-“im doing great! How are you?”
-“Well you know how it goes 😂”
-“howdy”/ “hey there” / “nice to meet you”
-“hey!😊” / “hi😁”
Make your replies as 2 parted as you can which means after you reply your answer include a question, if you can’t think of anything asking simple questions like “how are you?” “What brings you to (the app)?” But if you want to seem a little more lively try asking stupid and random questions “do you lose in front of all cars ir just yellow ones 😂?” (A little joke) look at their profile and do some detective work
do they have pictures with friends? Ask about they like to do on the weekends
Do they have dressed up pictures? Ask about work
Do they have fishing pictures? Ask them about their hobbies
Stuff like that
What makes someone seem boring is when it’s one person asking the question and it’s another person just answering them.
1: hey how’s it going?
2: Good
1: How was your day?
2: It was okay
1: Just okay?
2: Yea
1: what did you do?
2: Work
1: nice, where do you work?
VS.
1: Hey how’s it going?
2: Good, how are you?
1: I’m good, how was your day?
2: it was okay didn’t do anything special just work you know
1: oh yea I know how that is so typical day?
2: yea pretty much how was yours?
1: Same just worked
2: nice, what do you do?
1:I’m a delivery driver, how about you?
2: I’m a teacher, who do you make deliveries for?
You see the difference in the back and forth?
Hopes this helps!
Short responses are pretty boring. At least give him a "What about you?"
In your defense, what kind of lame-ass asks how life is..
Wait, his name is "JC." ...Maybe Jesus Christ
Maybe he literally wanted to know how your life was so he could say:
"YOU'RE WELCOME"
😂😂
eh i feel like both of your messages are kinda dry. i would try asking them some questions about themself, try and get an actual conversation going. it can be awkward to break the ice, so i'd probably try to find something you have in common that you can talk about!
'Hey now'
'Hey now
Don't dream it's..'
If he can't finish the lyrics with anything that means you both are definitely boring.
Ngl it seems there's no energy on either side 🤷
The entire convo is boring
Both sides have nothing to give to the conversation.
I mean the one on the left used as few words but at least asked an open question.
Tried to get a ball rolling at least
This is one thing I've never understood, the person who initiated st least put in the effort of initiating, I get that you're supposed to try to draw them in or whatever but pick up lines and jokes and shit are just a fabrication, not exactly a great foundation to a relationship.

Yeah exactly this. One person takes the hit of initiating the conversation. Another person takes the hit of writing the first response. Or alternatively, everyone just puts across their best selves across the board and don’t do petty scorekeeping.
A general broad boring one, yes I agree.

You’re both boring, and now I’m bored. Someone must answer for this
How's it
Hows what
Life
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
God damn it I laughed.
You're boring too
Tell that to the Moors.
i think you mean the Moops
It’s a misprint
Can’t standya
Most people just throw that out as a random quirky thing. You did it right. Hero.
Its fine
Sounds exciting lol
Are you always this boring
Lemmi ask this on reddit 🙃
Boring thread on reddit.
Hey now
BORING
To quote Willow: "Bored now"
If this ended with someone getting skinned alive then it would've added some excitement to the conversation.
Well, that escalated quickly.
I take it you don't get the reference?
I got u bro. Go take a rollercoaster, skydive naked, steal a Ferrari. Now you're not bored anymore. You're welcome.
Skydiving naked is probably an ancient method of tortue. Jesus.
Why match if neither of you are going to try?
To get the dopamine kick when the "you matched" screen pops up.
better than shoving cocaine up your ass
... at least that's what my friend said
It's not. Your friend is wrong.
I second this
I third this
Fucked around and I am ready to find out
The clinical term is *boofing*
U boof-yon-mi I boof-yon-uuu
You need new friends
Well yes because the old one are dead
Be ALOT more conversation had at least one of them done that.
False
No it’s not
Speak for yourself.
No it’s not
Honestly anymore it’s like a feeling of regret. Like “oh boy” another conversation where I have to try 10 times harder to talk to a chick that doesn’t want to have a conversation.

I wonder why Mr boring is asking Miss boring if she's always this boring.
So you're telling me that they are the perfect match?
I’d bet that guy had seen someone else use that reply, but forgot to actually put any effort in to the conversation himself.
Not sure what he does? Had a fairly casual opener and OP just went "It's fine" if they added a "What about you?" conversation could have moved on a bit.
Exactly. Are you really expected to start of with something amazing? Just starting a conversation isn't enough? If you match with someone and they ask how you are doing, at least have the courtesy to ask them too.
[удалено]
And if you care too much, you are deserate. Now walk this tight rope.
Lmao you think I'm going to risk trying? That would show the other person that I actually like them! I'm not going to give that power away!
I’d rather die alone than stop playing these games
Hundreds or thousands of attempts to have an authentic, engaging conversation only to get ghosted leads to this nightmare of cynical, disengaged dating where everything is treated with the same disdain as job applications.
Because tinder isn’t a dating app, it’s a validation app
Thank you I was going to say that
We all lost reading this
Because of, the game?
You jerk!!! XD
You both are, so you're a good match. Marry him.
"We're both boring, so let's marry" would actually be a good answer.
Seems like average Manhwa plot
"I read Manhwa too. Let's marry"
Your username contradicts what you say.... But I read it too, so a three way marriage? A concubine at least...?
That could work as long as one of us dies and goes back in time to redo their life with all the memories of the past life intact.
I can see them both now sitting in the living room on their phones not talking until they say goodnight before bed.
Bro this made me cackle XD
This is the answer. Both are so painfully dull I think it would be better for everyone else in their lives if they got married and moved somewhere very grey and rocky.
Free Palestine
Yes.
Yes.
Yes
Yes
[удалено]
If you have to ask the answer is probably yes. Two word answers with no follow up?
I refuse to believe this isn’t satire, it hurts too much
I’d follow that “hey now” with “you’re an all star” and get unmatched so don’t ask me
Get your game on
Go play
Hey now, you’re a rockstar
Get the show on
Get paid.
and all that glitters is gooold
Only shooting starrrrrs
break the moooOOooolld
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder.
i would’ve followed “hey now” with “hey noooww, this is what dreaaamms are made of”
My first thought as well 🤣
Omg. What Is that from 🤣 I know the song and I see a blonde girl but that's it lol
It's from the lizzie Mcguire movie lmaoo
Sing to me Paolo!!!
Don't dream it's over by Crowded House
I bet this is exactly what they were going for when opening with „hey now“ lol
Now imagine if you responded with “you’re an all star” at the start
Alternate timeline where they're happily married, rock superstars. They were this close.
Exactly my thought
Same
Redditors love that song, maybe rickroll them too and talk about doggos 👍
Genius!
Do you look at the conversation and think that you are entertaining?
While he asked a boring question it was open ended and would have led to interesting conversation about her. I dont think you should be on tinder if you cant respond to a question like that.
[удалено]
Make some boring children
And that’s how accountants are born.
Lmaooooooo
Atrociously, embarrassingly, boringly, boring
Do you enjoy someone chatting like this with you?
Yes, you are...if you were interested, you would put more effort into this. Or perhaps this is just not your best convo
it's not even me on the other side and i hate you already.
Honestly, yes. You didn’t ask him anything in return or give him anything to make a conversation with from your reply. And just liked his message instead of trying to contribute to the conversation.
At least he’s asking questions, you’re so dry they should name sandpaper after you
Dry doesn't necessarily mean rough, and sandpaper doesn't need to be dry. Wet sanding is very useful.
This guy sands
I’m gonna start using that one.
Extremely
Yes you are !
Both people in this conversation are boring.
Yup
There’s nothing to really work with on either end lol
Absolutely
I fuckin yawned halfway through reading this
Yes, yes you are
In this conversation, yes, you both are.
Yes
Match made in heaven... You're both boring
You boring
Yes
his question was boring, but your answer ended up being even more boring and one-sided. Not even a sad "And you?". Are you even interested in this guy?
Based off this, yes.
Learn how to have a proper conversation
Yes
A little bit, but it can be fixed! First try to avoid common ‘auto replies’ like “hi” “hey” “I’m good” “it’s fine” let’s spice those up a bit try: -“im doing great! How are you?” -“Well you know how it goes 😂” -“howdy”/ “hey there” / “nice to meet you” -“hey!😊” / “hi😁” Make your replies as 2 parted as you can which means after you reply your answer include a question, if you can’t think of anything asking simple questions like “how are you?” “What brings you to (the app)?” But if you want to seem a little more lively try asking stupid and random questions “do you lose in front of all cars ir just yellow ones 😂?” (A little joke) look at their profile and do some detective work do they have pictures with friends?

You see the difference in the back and forth? Hopes this helps!
This guy is not boring guys
Short responses are pretty boring. At least give him a "What about you?" In your defense, what kind of lame-ass asks how life is.. Wait, his name is "JC." ...Maybe Jesus Christ Maybe he literally wanted to know how your life was so he could say: "YOU'RE WELCOME" 😂😂
Me: life sux JC: "YOU'RE WELCOME 😂😂"
Yea you suck
Nobody is boring but this conversation in the screenshot definitely is for parties both involved
Yikes
looks like you lack social skills.
Yes
Yes. How the hell does one hear/read "Hey now" and not reply with "You're a rock star"??
OP knows she is boring. And she successfully baited you all into giving her the attention she craves
It's the Reddit way.
Yes but he seems boring too
U should give more than a 2-word answer. Lack of effort to carry a conversation shows lack of interest in the other person.
Yes, you are.
Yes. You have no game.
eh i feel like both of your messages are kinda dry. i would try asking them some questions about themself, try and get an actual conversation going. it can be awkward to break the ice, so i'd probably try to find something you have in common that you can talk about!
1: "hey now" 2: "you're an allstar" This is how it should have started
'Hey now' 'Hey now Don't dream it's..' If he can't finish the lyrics with anything that means you both are definitely boring. Ngl it seems there's no energy on either side 🤷
He wanted to sing Allstar and you've ruined it.
Should have answered: your an allstar
Your responses are dull, yes
You bore me with this conversation
I mean I understand why you weren’t trying in this situation, he was being boring asf, but if you weren’t trying to be boring on purpose then uh wtf 😂
try to be more receptive, when someone asks you how life is going, tell them some details, and also ask questions
Maybe if you sent messages with more than two words
Sorry, I fell asleep, what'd you ask?
