Computers & Internet Tinder Part Deux

[revo333]

That’s crazy.

I had a girl recently where we were texting and vibing really well. I said shall we get a drink. She said great except I probably won’t drink as I have a swim in preparing for. I said that’s fine, I haven’t been drinking either, should we get a water instead? She immediately flipped and was offended by it.

Happy to say I have not had to use Tinder for a long while and while the general advice is to meet up as soon as possible I decided to go against it and not meet someone until I had texted with them for over a week and there wasn't any arguments or unpleasant conversations.

First person I did this with, I'm still with them.

Yeah if someone misses the point or is intentionally obtuse it's probably not worth the effort.

A massive red flag I learned is that if someone gets narky at you after only a few days of texting then there is no point going any further.

I wouldn't have said a week of back and forth is unreasonably long, especially if you're both functional adults with life commitments. I can sometimes need a week or two's notice to fit a friend in for a catchup!

I'd even call it a red flag.
What is she potentially going to be like when you leave the lights on or forget to put the bins out ?

In my house the toilet seat stays up.

A new girl at work is "on the apps" as they say and was showing me Hinge today. * me there are some w***ers on there, they all travel, love the outdoors and being active, good food etc etc. She had some voice messages from guys, one of the needy ones had just sent her one "just a short message to show you I'm thinking about you".

Overall it seems she doesn't enjoy it much and reckons you don't actually go out on dates on there, message for ages, eventually meet up and yada yada yada. I reckon it sounds like fun for a bit but you'd probably get over it, seems like a strange world.

I reckon if blokes stopped talking s**t and said they love sitting home doing * all ordering Uber eats and watching TV they’d probably be more successful.

*Clearly I’ve never used any of these sites based on this innovative theory

Said colleague did a few swipes when I was there, for one guy "oh he's fit... maybe a little too fit" thumbs down ha ha

All my friends ever see on there is pictures of men with a sedated tiger or a big fish they've caught. Gee whiz try to stand out a bit fellas.

That is the issue.

As silly as it sounds food/drink suggestion says alot.

Ice-cream = fun and playful
Sushi = cultured
Alcohol = alcoholic bogan

It's all about the psych and perception

Go for the ice cream over the drink and stay safe

Pretty hard to roofie an ice cream

Saw plenty of females with the sedated tiger pic as well, instant turn off.

Can’t say I saw any women with the same but it’s definitely a red flag

Yeah maybe the female equivalent to the holding a fish for guys is the female pumping weights in the gym.

 

[Billy ray]

I remember for a period i wrote "sorry i am not holding a fish or have taken a selfie in a toilet. But if thats what you are after, swipe left"

i got some good replies and meetups in that phase

She's probably been burned by a CrossFit evangelist in the past.

Dogs and cats are acceptable in photos. Oh and no hats. I don't give a crap if you are bald.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

I used a niche Wayne’s world quote and anyone who got it, got a date

With that mullet and jacket, the tiger didn't seem to deduct any points from the ladeez for Joe...

Joe wasn't exactly a ladies kind of man...

 

[Over The Post]

That's why they go gaga for him.

Forbidden fruit.

A group photo with 7 friends.
So many female profiles are basically just a game of Guess Who.

I love scrolling down a profile who has thrown you a like and preying that it's the hot chick in the photos then eventually a photo revealing it's the heffa.. every damn time

Nah the equivalent is the beach selfie with happy doggo

…..and the group laughing shot at a winery with the sisterz

 

[SnakeMan86]

Nah its the..
Wine glass in hand whilst looking away from the camera like "Oh I had no idea you were taking a photo"

Its generally pretty obvious which one she is, and why she hides in a group pic
