These 2 folks show the need for Red Flag Laws regarding texting. Should have cops go confiscate all their text devices until either can prove they're not insane.

Exactly! He could have just simply said "sorry, it appears by the tone of this conversation that we might not be a great match. I wish you the best of luck."

And just left it at that.

The Sad State of Affairs for Dating So I got back into the dating market about a year ago. Tried POF, complete trash there. Dumped it and have been trying Hinge with some moderate success. I started having a conversation with a woman 2 days ago: Me: Hi ", I'm ", how are you? How's your week going? Woman: Hey how it's going? Very slow honestly. How is your week? Me: Hey! So sorry about that, it was actually a busy day for me. Worked in the morning, ran a few errands and then met up with some friends in the evening. Any plans for your weekend? Woman: I work every day until Tuesday, enjoy sleeping in though. I'll be at work in about an hour. At this point it gets interesting because I was crazy busy yesterday and didn't respond for several hours. She replies back: Woman: You're quite the conversationalist, lol. I reply back this morning: Me: I'm sorry again, I'm not usually this busy. Worked out yesterday morning and then spent several hours helping my niece with a school project. I'm sorry you have to work over the weekend, are you normally off during the week? Me: I see you work at "". What kind of word do you do? Woman: Lol I'm sorry you call going to the gym and helping with homework busy? To shorten this story I reply back with 2 messages and she responds with this: Women: So you were busy for about 6 and a half hours lol that's only part of the day. I'm sure you had your phone with at most times in between all that and because it's 2019 and everyone does. It's easy to respond back to people, just an observation. She sends another message but at this point I block her and send a nice little message back to counter this little message she sent me. I mean was I wrong because I took about 12 hours to respond? Seems like she has no respect for the fact that people have a life and it seems she was mad that I didn't just drop everything to respond back immediately. Just an observation on what dating has become.


No wonder it takes 12 hours for you to respond to a text message.

Too busy typing this nonsense...

You and nativebullet are neck-and-neck for today’s “most clueless male” award.

Actually just so you know I don't take my phone with me when I'm working out and sometimes I'll even leave it at home.


You could text girls during your rest periods instead of staring at yourself in the mirror.

Bruh you broke the cardinal rule of not texting app bitches paragraphs.

It doesn’t make you look smart, it makes you look needy af.

What a bizarre response. She's probably telling her friends she's happy that she dodged a bullet with you.


Well I feel the same way so I guess it worked out, lol. I definitely feel like I dodged a bullet with her.

I don't hate her for it, it's just obvious there's no compatibility there. But it is one of the frustrating things about modern dating.

Normally I would just block but I thought her tone was incredibly rude. So I wanted her to give her some of that rudeness back, see how she likes it. Hopefully she'll use the experience to change her attitude.

Online dating massively skews towards women, news at 11.

If you want good dates, be a high value person and actually meet people out in real life doing your hobby, and ask for actual dates.

Ironically I've actually had some success on Hinge. A lot more than I ever had on trash POF. I already have a date set up for Wednesday and then possibly next weekend. Since I was talking to multiple women it made my decision to dump this one pretty easy.

Why are you chitchatting? Just ask if they want to get a drink. If not, move on. Are you matching with uglies? Need to make sure their personality checks out?
