Why I'm DONE with online dating...

[xxoo]

I don't consider me as a bad looking man, but still i struggle to even get ONE date.

 

Again i got the most insane anwser from a woman I am starting to feel women on OLD sites are mentally insane or something. And woman complain men are rude. Well... the answer i got in tinder today really was weird.

 

I said "good morning :)" to this woman in Tinder i've been talking now for 2 days.

 

She replies "Good Morning X, you unemployed, living in a 2-room flat at Z-area (certain area of a city). Yikes, this combination... you remind me of my alcoholic brother!"

 

So, living in flats are now wrong. Dare to live in a flat and you shall never find love!

Being unemployed. DARE to be unemployed and you shall not deserve love EVER!

Living in certain area in a city. YOU SHALL NOT DESERVE TO BE LOVED YOU! MOVE OUT FROM THAT AREA IMMEADITELY!

 

I really. Really think some women are mentally insane. They have to be. No one in their right mind would not send anything like that.

 

She seemed to be this "wealthy" type of person. So she is so much better than me just because she works and makes more money than i do.

 

Her response seemed nasty.

 

Nothing insane about an employed person wanting to partner with another employed person, though.

I'd be more interested in the potential (CEOs get between jobs too, you know) personally, but whatever. It's just the audacity factor that blows me away with what some people rattle off their respective keyboards. So, you think everyone who's on the dole for a bit is a lecherous scumbag? Whatever, keep it to yourself.

Comparing your inability to meet women off a dating site to experience with The Holocaust.

 

Stay classy. (I bolded the sarcastic part so you could better understand what sarcasm really means. Hope it helps in your future ****pseudo-intellectual endeavors*****

 

I think you're onto something there blue. Felt this about the OP as well but wasn't able to verbalize...good work. OP it's like you're trying to overcome some insecurity so have to push an "intellectual agenda" with your retorts like the one in your exchange with the OLD girl in your original post. You might do better with honey instead of vinegar...no matter how fancy/gourmet that vinegar is.

 

Btw...I've yet to read of a poster who shoots the messenger more than you..actually no one even comes close. It really is shocking.

How am I insecure? Pretty sure you're just pulling that word out as a replacement for the word "frustrated" (which was the situation for those of you have overcome your reading comprehension problem) to poke the rhino (I'm not a bear, FYI).

 

And, c'mon with the humor policing. For one, it wasn't humor. Two, it wasn't self-effacing. Plenty of people have espoused how much online dating sucks. I wouldn't be surprised if half the apologists that pop up on these things aren't IAC socks trying to slight anyone who outs their garbage products as... well, garbage.

More like dodged a bullet. She passed/failed (however you want to look at it) the litmus test as far as I'm concerned. Like the girl on Tinder who asked me how tall I was and I replied, "Not tall enough for girls who care how tall men are."

 

I care how tall guys are as I prefer 5ft 6in up to 5ft 11in..6ft absolute max for me.

That would rule me out if I asked you how tall you were though and you gave me that response.

 

How Anne Frank is an analogy to dating is quite beyond me.

Dating is for the thick-skinned, for sure.

 

I hope the woman you sent that message to had thick skin!

Yup. I'm also too black for women who "won't date black guys".

Or maybe she'll go and learn how to read.

10 years ago, i met so many people online. Girls, even few guys (not in that way ).

 

It was much easier back then. People were more open to meeting etc. Now, people are shallow, rude, even evil. Sure it happened back then too but not in same numbers.

 

I remember the summer 2009 i guess it was? I had 4 dates in one week. 4!!

Now i am struggling getting even one date in half year. Is it because i am older? I don't know, but OLD used to be more fun back then.

 

Now it's a struggle. Even fat chicks search for "athlete" body type men...

 

I know i need to find my next GF from real world, but from where...that is a good question. Most people i know have found their companion from school, job or from hobby.

You hit the nail on the head here, sir. Not just talking online dating, either.

[Kamille]

There is a condescending tone to your posts. Is it more important to you to be the smartest guy on Loveshack or to explore why you're striking out with women?

[GemmaUK]

Yup. I'm also too black for women who "won't date black guys".

 

OK, sure, change the 'complaint' to suit yourself.

Some people just like to moan and actively enjoy it.

There's a new girl at work just the same and much as we are all trying to make friends with her it's not really friendship.

Small doses we can tolerate.

We're all aware and all sharing the responsibility right now.

that's like 90% of white women. I think it's just human nature, maybe some type of primal instinct. There's even a book about it called the selfish gene.

I'm not sure that has anything to do with it.

Well I'd say it's a stretch to say the "The Selfish Gene" is about that specifically, but there is a connection. Great book actually!

 

See, now I are the most intilligent guy on LoveShack! ..lol..

Not making fun of you Waiting, the irony was just too much for me to resist.

[loveflower]

Was having a rather nice conversation with a women (in my age bracket for once ) about life and music... she's also a musician who's played in a band for a while here in Phoenix, Arizona.

 

She asked about why I was talking to her, and I said, "Because everyone deserves a chance" always. .

 

It's understandable that you made a slip, but it's not understandable that you were pissed by her response. you should have understood the ramification of your statement right after your made it.

 

I think her response is normal. I wouldn't want to talk to a guy again after he said this.

 

Basically she was asking what is so special about her that you want to talk to her and your response was that there is nothing special about her and you were just doing her a favor and you don't really have standards and tastes.

 

It was your chance to compliment her, but instead you did the opposite.

And reread the entire sentence again...

I completely missed this.

 

Yep indeed, I'm quite intilligent myself.

The numbers for online dating are in Dataclysm... it's pretty bleak, especially from the female side of the spectrum. I lent the book out to a friend. I'll post them when I get it back. Hatred runs deep.

No, it was a test... and like her, you read it wrong. Like I said, no loss. The lowest IQs need to be tossed out.

You're probably better off dating yourself. It's the only person you like.
