Unmatched someone: I was talking about how the movie Avatar is a blatant allegory for native/indigenous populations and the person got offended that I would “put real life events into a movie about blue people”
Been unmatched: the person had a series of 4 almost identical selfies but each one had different anime boys edited in as if they were hanging out (amazing bit. Perfect joke) and my opening line was “i hate when people have only group photos. It makes it so difficult to tell when one I matched with”. I was called an idiot and unmatched within 5 minutes.
I had someone, who I had gone on two dates with (maybe it was one, idk. It was a long time ago), apologize that she couldn’t date me anymore because she just adopted a cat that had the same name as me. That was a weird one because she seemed very interested until that. Probably dodged a bullet. Lol.
You dodged two bullets there. 1 was a person who doesn’t understand metaphors or allegories, 2 was a person with no sense of sarcasm or humor.
I’m so glad I got married before the dating apps became the norm.
Because I was in the Navy at the time. Not wanting to date someone in the military isn’t a bad thing, I get that. But I talked about it in my profile and had several pictures of me on the ship in uniform. Then weird part was that when we met for our first date and it came up in conversation she acted like I had kept it secret. Really fucking weird.
She told me that her favorite comedian was Jeff Dunham and that she didn’t like reading.
I also hate it when people say the same thing twice in a row.
LOL! well done
I unmatched a woman IRL face-to-face because she told me (in one unbroken monologue) that she slept with a co-worker in Sydney while she was visiting a regional office and that she attends SLAA meetings and that was her first slip in 3 months and that she’s also a psychic medium and she’s building a website to list her mediumship services, and she is obsessed with marvel movies. Then she asked me to go get a coffee with her
No one part of this is too much of a red flag, but all of it together, and she knows I’m good with tech and can build a website with my eyes closed, I probably would have ended up doing a bunch of web work for free. Plus I really don’t think that medium people are talking with the dead, at best it’s a hallucination or a lie, at worst it’s a trickster entity that should not be interacted with under any circumstance.
So I just peaced out and I feel like I made a good choice.
Psychic medium is a huge red flag. They’re the worst kind of grifter, preying on the bereaved and desperate.
So I just peaced out
Lol. I’m curious how that conversation went
I have no social media and that’s a red flag apparently
Unfortunately, on dating apps, it kinda is. Lots of people who are looking cheat claim they’re “not into social media” because if they shared their social media, you’d see their partner. It’s BS and unfair, but I can see how people get there.
Shit, this girl worked at a police station and got upset, nearly canceled our meetup because I had no criminal record.
When we met up, she refused to go get food or drinks. Instead, she took me to a secluded park and let me know she was carrying two guns.
I said a shootout was a weird first date activity and I would have rather gone bowling. She took me back to the hotel, but offered to get me Taco Bell on the way back.
She then wouldn’t respond the next day, which the entire point of the trip was to go to a museum I wanted to see.
It was my birthday trip and she just happened to be along the route. I went to the museum alone and had a blast.
“She took me back to the hotel” could mean two wildly different outcomes. I can’t tell if you mean she ended the date immediately or you two had sex in a hotel and then she ghosted you.
Though either way, her deciding on her own that she didn’t want anything to do with you was a bullet dodge, considering she not only used police resources to try to look you up but even scolded you about it, making it clear she either didn’t think there was any problem with it or didn’t think she’d face any consequences.
She tried to buy me Taco Bell and she tried to kiss me. She took me back my hotel room. I wanted nothing to do with that crazy shit.
I figured the museum would be saner the next day as her daughter was to join us. She didn’t answer, I shrugged and went.
She texted me the day after. I just blocked her. So it goes.
I have gotten hit with that one too!
Soo offensive to blue people! Check your privilege and shit.
I couldn’t take off next month and fly to another continent
That’s very selfish of you
I just blocked them too
A girl canceled a date once because I’m not on Facebook or anything else. (I asked her out in person).
She combed through socials as a kind of background check and interpreted my absence as suspicious. Modern problems.
She works for the DHS?
You dodged a bullet.
What’s interesting is that both perspectives are valid. Of course she could have asked why you don’t have social media, and when you spout off about privacy and big tech then she would cancel for a different reason.
Yeah this is legit a thing cheaters do apparently. I just don’t want patients finding my favorite cafe in my likes ok 😭 honestly sometimes my husband pisses me tf off but at least I’m not rummaging in the mystery grab bag anymore.
Internet is a hostile enough place that not having a social media presence is a valid lifestyle. Like, I don’t want to be assumed as a cheater just cause I’m trying to preserve my sanity😭.
Same here.
Or you’d spend a nice weekend configuring a new Gentoo system
About 3 lines in back and forth the girl said “by the way, I don’t and won’t ever give head”. I said thats kind of a deal breaker and she unmatched me.
Seems a good way to make red lines clear, no? Personally i think head is just so… artificial
I don’t disagree with the first part. The second I couldn’t be more on a different page with ya. I like getting head as much as any sex act. More than most other things in fact. I could deep dive into why but absolutely nobody cares.
Oral sex is objectively superior to penetrative sex in several ways and I’m tired of pretending it’s not, tbh
I care.
Giving head as a sex act is a physical manifestation of putting someone before yourself. There a lots of valid reasons why someone wouldn’t want to give/receive it, but the mechanic at work here I think is how that was the first thing she decided to share. Kind of a weird line in the sand to draw immediately lol
I dunno. Giving someone head makes me feel like I have commandeered the bridge of their starship. I suddenly have a lot of say regarding what kind of pleasure they experience next, and also gain a front row seat to enjoy their response. It definitely feels very selfish to me, and applies no matter their particular equipment, because I have taken the helm lol
Selfish? For giving head? They’re a lucky guy/gal
got a match and first question was if I was an EU citizen, I am, but decided to reply “no” just for fun. Then she asked me if I was here legally and on the path of citizenship, I replied yes just to see where this was going.
“alright, contact me again when you’re an EU citizen”
Maybe they’ve run into too many people looking for citizenship via marriage.
It must be hard out there for people with a citizenship kink.
“No, I’m not going to use it for crime, I just need a realistic passport because my girlfriend is kind of a freak.”
Those Laibach passports are great for this tbh.
it was a couple. we vibed, i stayed over one night at their house, got drunk at their bar and set a bunch of alarms on their Google nest. it was really nice to experience something that was entirely my fault
set a bunch of alarms on their Google nest.
Whats that?
Nest. Home automation system, if i remember right.
I think I’m too poor and/or stupid to understand any of that. I’m just imagining that house from the Simpsons, the one with the voice of Pierce Brosnan
Eh, Nest is just another locked-in your-data-is-ours system. I think Home Assistant is the self-host thing?
ULTRAHOUSE 3000
This post is making me so beyond grateful that I never had to do online dating, and never ever will, I’d rather die a lonely old spinster than do online dating.
Well it’s not that bad xD of course this post is about the bad side of online dating
You are my hero
Why did you text her so much when she said that off the bat? Also texting someone at 3am?
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
It’s pretty cringy and gross. And I’m a guy on Lemmy saying that
WOW
Took me a while to look at her name. Bravo though.
