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.

Maybe try to have a real conversation with a woman, and not online or text?

End the conversation. No Hinge back and forth should have that tone / vibe.

Someone who wants you to immediately reply and start a long series of text conversations does not actually want to meet you. They just want attention from you.

You have to discern who is serious about dating and who is not. You are correct in delaying your responses and keeping conversations short. The conversations that you do have should be driven toward an initial meeting. That’s when you deliver conversation-wise.

If you haven’t seen her b-hole within 12 hours of initial contact, you’re a loser.

Next time send her an unsolicited dick pick. She clearly just wants to bang.

Although she certainly shouldn't have called you out because she doesn't know you and it's rude, you can't just leave a conversation for 12 hours and say you were busy. Y'all are both wrong to a certain degree.

In this day in age, replies that take a long time are by choice. Either because the person is playing a game or because they don't care. By long time I mean anything over...lets say 2 hours. If I were trying to get to know someone and over the course of 3 days they responded twice a day I'd be frustrated. I would have just stopped responding to you, but she's clearly a crazy that felt the need to "lol" then come at you.

In the future, if you want to actually date and get to know someone, be more receptive to texting back, call them, actually meet in person.

Good choice to dump her. She sounds horrible based on that conversation.

Advice: Women are all lazy and hate to work but they always want to feel like they work more than you. Don’t talk about work unless you work in a similar field. Talk about generic stuff instead.avoid talking about yourself. Women like to talk about themselves.

I pity anybody who in in the dating scene today. The internet has ruined it.

You work, you achieve, she doesn't. Yet she reserves the right to bitch about what it requires for you to be successful while she doesn't do it herself.
