I decided that I had completed Fab, so I re opened the dating apps

It’s dire. It’s been 24 hours I feel sick.

Why does no one talk? You match and they ignore you forever more, surely this is the opposite reason for being on a dating site? Is it just an ego boost?

Why are all the men topless or holding fish? I know we are in a cost of living crisis but T-shirts are only £2 in primark. And the how is holding a fish attractive? It’s a fish!!!

37 matches. I messaged all of them. 2 responses 1 wanted me to buy bitcoins.

Lol. I have had 10 matches so far in the last 3 months. 8 of them didn't reply for the first message. The two people who replied chatted with me for a week. When I asked them to meet for a drink, they stopped.

It's a circus out there.

Still contemplating the fish angle, but then probably this is a different thread to the one with fish puns.

Guessing you were on PoF and the blokes thought it was humourous to hold up a fish.

Never been on the dating sites, I like the ability to engage through chat (such as the Lounge here)

Always hated dating apps, was always rather weird people, people I went to school with, someone who knows who knows someone that I know or a mixture of 3. So gave up.

The matching at chatting part was sometimes fun before one of those things took hold.

"Welcome back.

Let me find a fish, real quick, then we'll talk.

Does it matter if its alive or dead?

Filleted?

This stuff matters I'm on the clock.

I think the important bit is you crouch down and show how manly you and your fish are."

Crouching, got it.

Any gang signs or hand signals I should flash, affiliations or links?

Would a fresh vape choo choo cloud help too? All, moody, an shit.

"I decided that I had completed Fab, so I re opened the dating apps

It’s dire. It’s been 24 hours I feel sick.

Why does no one talk? You match and they ignore you forever more, surely this is the opposite reason for being on a dating site? Is it just an ego boost?

Why are all the men topless or holding fish? I know we are in a cost of living crisis but T-shirts are only £2 in primark. And the how is holding a fish attractive? It’s a fish!!!

37 matches. I messaged all of them. 2 responses 1 wanted me to buy bitcoins.

"

Because all dating apps use shitty algorithms to match you with someone..you clearly have a thing for fishermen

Oh, hang on, wrong gender, wrong site

I agree for unsolicited messages. But when you have both swiped and matched it feels strange."

At a guess this means they think your pics are hot, hence the swipe, when you message, either something in your message or the prompt to actually read your bio throws up something they don't like?

That does raise an interesting question though. Are dating apps shit on purpose because they want to retain their customer base?

"Lol. I have had 10 matches so far in the last 3 months. 8 of them didn't reply for the first message. The two people who replied chatted with me for a week. When I asked them to meet for a drink, they stopped.

It's a circus out there.

It’s weird. I get not responding to unsolicited messages on here but when you have both swiped on each why then go silent?

My guess is that they have lot of matches and are having me in a waiting list

For me, the weirdest thing is that they don't want to meet after chatting for a week. I hate texting with people I have never met. Would rather meet for a drink or coffee or a walk. But they ghost me the moment I ask for a meeting.

It’s bumble, if you don’t respond in 24 hours the match gets deleted. You don’t get time for a waitlist."

Ah. I use Hinge. Long time since I used Bumble.

Totally this .... some are even honest enough to say they are not single on here but say they are single and are looking for a relationship on a dating app.

Honestly I have given up on dating apps, first day of rejoining you get the nice looking guys but none reply to your messages, by week 2 it's shrek and his pet fish standing by a sports car he doesn't own.

None of them actually want to date or potentially have have a proper relationship. At least with fab you know people just want a shag

Dating apps are generally better in my experience for meeting people in person. The match function helps massively because there’s pretty much always at least an attraction there. It’s hard being poly on some of them but even then it’s been mostly positive. Never been messed about or stood up or anything. Had lots of matches. But the biggest negative is there’s no forums and no chance to just make friends really.

It was always men crouching down with tigers when I last ventured into dating.

All I really wanted to see was a bloke smiling. Rarer than hens teeth that was!

So I gave up online dating and I now lurk in garden centres and ask strange men for recommendations on lawn mowers.

Oh for goodness sake, OP!!!

I have been on bumble and hinge for months and as soon as I decide to give it a break, you pop on! I shall take this very personally

Over the past couple of years I’ve been on quite a few first dates with women around where we live. Some of their stories are quite the eye opener and I can barely believe men behave that way! (oh, hang on - of course I can, I know what they’re like on fab)

For what it’s worth, it’s not a gender thing. I’ve had loads of matches and then get completely ignored. I’d like to reassure you that you’ll hook someone soon, but I didn’t

But I hope you do

To be fair- I don’t message all my matches. It would be too difficult to keep up. I’m terrible with replying to messages. So I message 50% and the other 50% I hope will message me first if they’re interested I guess

I’ve learned now anyway that I am never getting involved with monogamous people again from these apps though so swings and roundabouts

Its a mixed bag to be honest. Am also on one or two. Have had some good dates. Some not so. Its just 'sifting' through a lot of people to find the good ones. I don't struggle to get matches. Its more of a struggle to find the 'good ones'. I met my last partner on one of them. It was a great relationship.

OP they’ll probably think you aren’t real.

But the problem is here and on other sites - a lot can’t converse at all. It’s becoming a dying art.

We get a lot of messages and I’d say only a handful don’t get deleted as you know from that first message what the conversation is going to be like.

We’ve just had a guy message us and say he’s half Italian…C lived in Italy and replied in Italian. He replied and said he doesn’t know Italian and never lived there …I’m half Italian too then

Give a man a fish and he will post a photo of himself with it on dating apps to attract women he then is too scared to talk to.

Teach a man to fish and he will do pretty much the same thing until he finds a woman who doesn’t mind him spending his weekends fishing!
