Computers & Internet Tinder Part Deux

[rocker_oz33]

I gave up on dating but went on my first Hinge date in over 6 months last night. The night was fine and I don't know why I don't do this stuff more often. She got a little drunk and freaky but it made the night more fun. Got another one lined up for Friday I'm not overly keen on but I might go because there's nothing to lose apart from a Friday night

Have fun doggie atyle ..

Got back into dating via Bumble recently after being single for 12 months.
Did 3 dates with someone over a week and a half before realising while we'd make great friends I wasn't feeling a romantic spark. Need to figure out if that's something on my end in terms of how I'm approaching dating, or if it was just there was no chemistry between us.

Chemistry is something that can be built though. Too many people focus on there being a spark immediately thinking it’s a good thing.

Yep exactly mate grass is greenest where you water it.

People have no issues putting in all the effort in the world for the school/university/work life but with romantic attraction we all expect it to fall into place immediately.

I always look at friendships as an example. Theres been plenty of times where I didn’t have the biggest connection with someone initially but over time, whether that be through school, work, sport etc, you find moments or interests where you can find something in common that strengthens those bonds.

Been quite a few friends that I didn’t like initially and now are some of my best pals.

We did three dates and it still wasn't there. For me the first date is to see if there's any red flags and then the second to see if there's any chemistry. In this case we did a third and there still wasn't that chemistry. I'd rather not try force something that's not there.

Side note made a spontaneous decision to go speed dating Friday night for the first time in about 10 years. Numbers wise:
Said 'yes' to 13 and 'no' to 9
Of those 13 then 9 of them said 'yes' to me
Of those I got in touch with 6
Of those I have a date lined up with 3 over the next week

So we'll see how we go, watch this space.

I’m referencing people who tend to make a decision on the first about a lack of chemistry. Theres plenty of factors why it’s not immediate on a first date. I think three is fair enough to use as a base.

I thought about doing this but couldn't find much around. Interesting

Interloper might have some competition for BF biggest Casanova with these numbers

Niot sure what the scene is like here but it's quite active in Melbourne. Would recommend in terms of meeting people but also a chance to get comfortable with dating again after a long hiatus. The trick for me was to skip the boring questions (age, job etc) that every other guy is asking and ask fun questions instead and trade short stories or experiences.

Will strip it down to intentional dating ASAP, no interest in dating multiple women at one time beyond the first initial dates.

Anyone ever been banned from Hinge? I stopped using it for a couple of weeks come back and I've been banned with no explanation as to why?

 

[Freomaniac]

Was bored and thought I would check out OG Tinder having not used it for years.

Wow, what an absolute train wreck. Ads, nonsense notifications, fake/scam profiles, glitch profiles, dead profiles... I honestly reckon 1 in 5 profiles I actually thought there was a person on the other end also using the app somewhere near me.

Good luck to anyone who still uses the app on a regular basis. It's a no from me, dawg.

Fair enough

Any luck getting unbanned?

Nah. You need fresh photos and a new device.

I gave up on online dating ages ago. It's a scam and geared against men outside the most elite 5%. I had virtually zero luck with it. Realistically, no matter how great my personality is, or without expressing my wealth openly once I reveal my height, 90+% of women walk away.


I feel to find a partner it needs to happen organically and in the moment. Forcing things rarely work out in my opinion.

I’ve definitely had luck with it. It is geared to get dudes to pay for it and I’ve had more success when I have and imma bald dude but it’s not cheap.

I’d rather meet people out in the wild organically but a lot of men just aren’t confident enough to approach women.

I went to one of those Thursday singles events alone and there were plenty of girls. A lot of them were saying men just don’t approach enough even at events where it should feel safer to do so.

How short are we talking playboy?

It's literally a deal breaker. Shows how superficial women online dating have become.

As I said, I'd rather meet someone organically with natural progression, we click. simple as that.

My mate was because Hinge is owned by Match Group, who own Hinge, Match, OKCupid, Tinder etc and when they got banned from Tinder they got banned from them all.
Are you on other apps?
Have you said anything that could get you reported?

I'm on Tinder but haven't been banned there yet.

Honestly can't think of anything I've done that could get me banned. Frustrating as well because was having lots of success. Might have to just work it IRL

Sadly they won't tell you why either, my neighbour got bumble, got banned after 1 day with zero matches and they wouldn't answer why or who reported them.

Never in my life was I banned from a dating app. Deleted, blocked, ghosted etc. sure but never banned.
