Not lately, I guess. I've been internet dating for over 10 years tho and in past episodes when I was younger and my profile probably telegraphed how emotionally available I was, I could go on multiple dates a week with people I might have actually liked, always be written to & responded to. Now it's rare for me to even be interested in someone's profile and men I find attractive ignore me. Boo hoo, who cares.

Oh how adorable! I got straight-up negged yesterday! A message that simply said "slightly disappointed". From a very unattractive 50 year old married guy, eurgh.
If it was a joke, it was a miserable failure of one!

Heh. I decided not to write a cutting reply, tis a better stab to simply ignore 'em, imo.

three Brigham Young University college students set up a social media experiment to test how many men would show up at a frozen yogurt shop to meet a pretty girl they’d found on Tinder, but knew nothing about.
Wait, isnt that college a hardline hardcore mormon school?

My usual response to nice messages from men I don't want to meet is 'Hi, X. I don't think we'd be a good match, but thanks for getting in touch and good luck on the site - we all need it'. Yesterday I got a reply that said 'wow how rude. cheers'.

Thats why I just dont reply. Ugh.
― It is like ganging up on Enya (Trayce), Monday, 15 April 2013 01:23 (eleven years ago) link
It works fine most of the time - either I don't hear anything more, or occasionally people write back to say 'thanks, you too' which is nice. I think I'm being featured somewhere or something, because I'm getting loads of emails from very low matches - this guy was one of them.

Crush Object wrote me back btw, but without much enthusiasm that I could detect.

Yes Orbit, I always hated it when OKC supercrushes would write me back, and the email notification was thrilling, but the message was full of obvious polite disinterest.
I'm going to focus on inappropriate professional attachments for now.

My new favorite thing is getting the mutual 4-star automated message, then you message them a flattered hello, inquire after something in their profile, etc., they look at my profile, and then...never write back. Best explanation is that they starred me for my devastating good looks but then when they actually read my profile they are overcome with regret..
