Do they not want sex?

ichigo ,

If that person can’t share music, god knows what else they can’t share

Alwaysfallingupyup ,

someone who thinks way to highly of themselves

deikoepfiges_dreirad ,

More like someone who struggles with social anxiety and low self-esteem

hardcoreufo ,

This is a red flag. It means he listens exclusively to Nickelback and Creed.

That’s a flag I’d fly any day

happysplinter ,

Ugh, also u2

ArianaGrande ,

Biggest fucking red flag of all

DeriHunter ,

Average Tinder conversation.

CrowAirbrush ,

You definitely got to know them, they kinda suck tho.

wolfcatreader ,

Kudos to you for demonstrating interest in getting to know whoever you cross on this platform (a rarity these days…) 🙌🏽

I relate to your discomfort. I usually unmatch or block such vibes bc the point of these apps is to date, which implies getting to know each other. If one is unwilling to put in the work (as minimal as it may seem), just spare folx who are interested in the above.

So much has changed in the dating scene. Sometimes, I am asked why I am being nosy or psychoanalyzing them. 🙄 Dude, you’re on a dating app, right?

P.S.: I respect boundaries, but such questions are essential in familiarizing oneself with someone.

Bazoogle ,

You use the term “you” a lot here. This is an old post, so you’re not going to be talking to the actual person that experienced this

ThatGirlKylie ,

Haha I’m so edgy haha why do you want to know? Haha you probably wouldn’t even like it haha.

I’m not like other 25 year olds hahaha

intensely_human ,

A cloud of adjectives surrounding no noun.

Divinitous ,

I’ve never had such an annoying color combination for a text message.

intensely_human ,

Incidentally I just tried banana soylent and it’s pretty good.

vera ,

I passed this post like 5 times before I read it for this reason

righteous_angst ,

It’s from bumble. That’s their colors

Monochromepsychward ,

I think with the horror show dating has become in general, people are becoming more and more afraid to be vulnerable in even the slightest perceived ways. 😞 There’s a reason for the loneliness epidemic. Between mass narcissism and guttural fear of winding up with a person who will just use/abuse you, I’m shocked I haven’t seen worse. 😐

R51 ,

Oddly enough, since I’m so used to being open when I’m ~anonynous on the internet, when I need a confidence push to be open with someone in person I just pretend I’m on the internet and they’re a stranger, and bum bam wam suddenly I don’t give a shit what they think of me & I can just speak comfortably

Monochromepsychward ,

I can imagine it going that way, too. It really depends on the person. It’s odd…we seem to have built this culture around distrust and winning at any cost and it feels good at first glance. Once you dig deeper, though, the whole thing is just ugly. If I lost my husband, I’d voluntarily choose to be alone. I’m not willing to have my heart torn out and having it used to beat me within an inch of my life. >_<

R51 ,

Yea the lack of confidence is not without reason for sure. It’s like the “fake-it-till-you-make-it” idea which in practice only works when the feeling of insecurity is overstepping. The confidence boost just snaps me out of that headspace which is nice, and every now n then I still say something goofy but iddiswuddidis

If I have to pry answers out of someone, I’d rather cut my losses and move on.

Does this guy think he’s cool or mysterious?

Da_Boom ,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

He probably thinks she’s playing hard to get or some BS.

programmer_belch ,
@programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I think he is the one trying to play hard and it isn’t working

Da_Boom ,
@Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

You might be right I got mixed up with the message/response.

Big ooof, either hard to get, or he’s just such a pessimist that he thinks his interests just aren’t worth sharing. Either way, he ain’t gonna get anywhere.

hairinmybellybutt ,

sometimes I wonder if the point of those apps are not to suggest having sex, but since normal conversations don’t work, I really don’t know anymore.

oh yeah and by the way, we cannot talk to women in the street, it’s creepy.

intensely_human ,

I’m a retail employee. My job is literally to seek out customers and ascertain their needs. I wear a bright red uniform of the store I work for.

Yet you would not believe the number of women who treat me like a low-level creep for walking up to them and asking if they need help.

Something I was dearly hoping wouldn’t find its way over here from Reddit: screenshots of posts which erase the posters’ identity for no good reason.

Giving proper credit for content is cool, kids.

R51 ,

… nah. Doxxing is not cool kids.

ElectroNeutrino ,

There’s a difference between retaining the twitter handle of the person that publicly posted their conversation, and doxxing them.

R51 ,

yeah there’s also a difference in someone who is expecting private messages to stay private only to then have your handle get attention in a bigass community, did u forget the linked pic this thread is about lol

ElectroNeutrino ,

Wait, so you’re saying that someone publicly posting screenshots of their conversation expects the screenshots to stay private? Or do you honestly think that keeping the twitter handle will dox the other person in the conversation where their name isn’t visible in the first place?

Additionally, it’s not hard to find the original tweet by looking up the text. It took me all of 15 seconds.

R51 ,

im so confused. I thought a guy was saying the original poster should have unblocked the name of the guy being weird with his song, i was saying that would be bad

ElectroNeutrino ,

Ohh. That makes sense. I completely agree with that. I thought you were talking about the person that posted the screenshot originally.

@required@lemmy.world avatar

In reddit, not blurring the person can lead to the comment section being angry at the person for some reason and in that case the person will get death threats in the best case scenario. There are many past examples of this. So all names remotely related to the real discussion (like here) better be removed.
Maybe Lemmy would be cooler than that but I’m not sure.

rob_t_firefly ,
@rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world avatar

In the “look at this foolish person posting something showing how stupid they are” situations that’s the case and it makes sense. In “this person openly posted content you’re removing the indicator of their rightful ownership from” situations it’s not cool.

intensely_human ,

Yeah but not in a private conversation

rob_t_firefly , (edited )
@rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world avatar

An open post to their socials like this is not a private conversation.

intensely_human ,

Oh I see you mean the person who posted the convo screenshot. The girl in the circle pic.

rob_t_firefly ,
@rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world avatar

That’s right. That person shared this and their username should have been left on it.

jamesoh5 ,

@ProBot@lemmy.world avatar

It’s was Nickelback

hugegreenburger ,

Never made it as a wise man…

R51 ,

bro wasn’t listening to anything and didn’t know what to say

Ddhuud ,

That and he’s a mega insecure duchebag. “I don’t know, I haven’t been listening much music lately” would have worked just fine, or at the very least it couldn’t possibly be this bad.

GladiusB ,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

What did Nickelback ever do to you?

ProBot ,
@ProBot@lemmy.world avatar

Nothing wrong with NB, was just being funny bc the internet hates them and is funny.

GladiusB ,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

I was quoting a comic. I cannot remember his name.

orphiebaby ,

I’m pretty amazed that people don’t immediately hear the stereotypical doucheyness, as well as the teenager-pandering, intelligence-insulting, terrible messages the moment they hear Nickelback.

Maybe I don’t hate Nickelback for the same “gut” reasons the internet does, but I sure do hate them.
