Dating crossed with Deal of the Day.
We had long conversations and I had no idea what she looked like for the first month or so, she commented that I hadn't asked for a picture which men normally do straight away, my response was "I enjoy talking to you".
She eventually sent a picture when we arrange to go on a date last week, turns out she is absolutely stunning (not I find her attractive, I mean objectively stunning) and the reason she took her picture off was all the "Hey baby, want sum fuk?" messages she was getting.
Date went well and we are going out again soon, I'm not handsome, I'm pretty average looking except for been in decent physical shape (swimming, cycling and dropping 60lbs will do that), frankly if I'd known what she looks like first I probably wouldn't have sent her a message in the first place figuring I didn't have a chance.
The world is a strange place sometimes.
It tells me that the profile is either fake or that the person is only there to boost their own ego by receiving messages.
Either way, it tells me that there's no point of sending them a message!
I'm pretty sure it was this episode https://gimletmedia.com/episode/profiled-season-2-6/
Or, in the least, Tinder could just create a basic setting for only showing "def not looking for a hook-up" profiles.
I've used it for the last four months and have gotten a grand total of... drumroll please one date.
And trust me, I've been really kind to like many women of various interests and ethnicities. I've also been thoughtful in my messaging to women.
