Depends on what is in your profile.

-Income listed over $200,000?
-Photos look like Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum or Michael B. Jordan?
-Highest education level is listed as professional graduate?

This is what they look for.

I tried twice after my divorce years ago.
First lady was attractive, bigger boobs and a few pounds above where she should be but still was sexy. When she met me for cocktails, her hips were twice as wide, shoulders twice as wide and boobs twice as big. It was her in the pictures but they weren’t recent. That pissed me off. She was loaded with money also.

Second meet with a new lady. She was more attractive than advertised. Corporate woman. We both worked for Fortune 500 companies. Great meet up until she started asking me about my 401k, how long have I been saving in it, etc. She was trying to dig deeper. (Last woman I dated for about a year before her or this dating app became very interested in my money and how I was spending it on my children. I told her that I worked for my money and will spend it as I see fit.) Relayed this information to her and told her that I don’t think we are a match. Never touched that app again.

Welcome to the club of sitting through two-message-a-day small talk if you're lucky enough for the girl to even respond.

This all for a lackluster date where either you or the girl will decide you're not compatible and either ghost you or end things. You'll slowly come to the realization that you wasted your money on, essentially a stranger.

Enjoy!

If you use Hinge, and you see an attractive woman who has pictures but is listed as Atheist, Liberal, and unverified, 99.9 % chance it is a bot.

I don't know why they choose Atheist and Liberal, but they do.

Understand that she's probably dated a bunch of dudes that were lawyers but would hit her up for a payment for their BMW.

Are you a female that's responsible, or are you feeding your child support to the tune of thousands of dollars a month into lifestyle, and then when we retire, you totally depend on what I've done for decades? My ex-wife is setting up this train wreck with college funding in real time. And yet I'm going to be the a-hole that says I'm not paying your tuition to {private SEC school.}

In the female defense, there are a lot of dudes, that make a lot of money, that are barely solvent (child support, gambling, car expenses, etc.) I understand why she'd ask. She's trying to determine your financial responsibility, which I also pay attention to, just not in such a ham fisted way as she did.

Dating sites make men feel worse about themselves than they should. It's not helpful. OP, don't get emotional until months into the relationship. Just have fun. Most women are just looking for, eh, physical intimacy, if they're not of child bearing age.

Say no, regardless of how hot you think they are. Just like "I'm not sure if I want kids," you're gone. Cull the herd quickly. I'll tolerate liberal fine, as long as nobody gets more than jokey about the stance. If your identity is your political stance, I'm out before we started. I'm a person, you're supposed to be more than a carbon copy of the Houston Chronicle/NYT.

Most of the sites keep men on the hook by charging way too much on a monthly basis, which reinforces your desperation. If you can get a lifetime or annual sub, do it, it decreases how you react to women. Eventually, you'll just get shown women over 100 miles away, and then you can make an educated decision to quit.

All of the bots I saw where entirely Asian (no idea why,) but some of their Hinge answers were so nonsensical I took screenshots of them and sent them to old friends.

This is factual. If she makes up excuses to not see you, she isn’t the one. Move on sooner rather than later. Hanging around is only going to prolong the inevitable.

I get what you're saying, but you're making broad statements that can be damaging to how younger divorced dudes treat women. Is she Tik-Toking or is she working her sixth day at the barber shop? There are some women that bitch about not actually meeting in person for a date, and then there is also a set of women that will revolt against meeting up to see if there is chemistry or not.

I'd never ask a woman my age to ignore a bag to go to dinner without very careful thought. On one hand, you're advising that women don't come after you for money, but you want to restrict their ability to earn... Hm...

The easiest culling point is social media use. I dated a 50+ year old that said she only got her news if it was on TikTok or Instagram. Bye.

I found this to be a MAJOR issue.

Seemed liked more than half the profiles were, "If you listen to Joe Rogan, do not talk to me" or "frick Trump".

That, right along with shite like "I do not date cheaters or liars". Yeah well no shite Stephanie, none of us wants that. Prime indicator they aren't over their ex or aren't in the proper emotional state to be dating.

I used to frequent a couple sites back 10-15 yrs ago. It was shooting fish in a barrel.

I have been a terrible womanizer most of my adult life. I have tried to cease this behavior after I got sober. That said, I have been on and off these sites for years. I find that there are a lot of viable woman on some of them. I have had the opposite experience where the women expect a quicker response and a date set up early on for that exact reason. I am nothing special but if you are a decent looking guy, take care of yourself and have a decent job or whatever, there are lots of interested women. I have heard its the men's side that is far more sketchy and less viable.

Any attractive girl on those sites is waking up to 100 new messages a day. Don't get offended at the slow responses but, if you find one you like.......better say something to make you stand out from the pack.


That’s why the first thing you send should be a dick pic.

I would assume that any of the women that show interest in you are bots.
