Observations from online dating and other dating thoughts | A guy's perspective, but would welcome a woman contributor

@Johnmacadam7474 @bumble I think she recognized me, but obviously didn't mention it. While I restrained myself from saying anything, I was torn up inside. 😔

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

When your friend wants to introduce you to his new #girlfriend...and she turns out to be someone you “super-swiped” on @bumble. 😭 💔#shootmenow #theworst #FML #singleAF

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

Post-Mueller, more women in my city self-identify as politically “Conservative” on @bumble.

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

Goodbye, all. May you have better luck #onlinedating than I have.

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

@bumble Wait! Really? It’s just that easy?! I’m sad to think how many matches have not messaged me because of that. But why bother matching if nerves are going to get in the way? Why not at least say hello? Why just let it pass by? Were they really *that* interested? 💔

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

Yet another expired match without a message. Thanks, @bumble .😢

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

Recently I’ve been seeing more “...looking for a real man...” in women’s #onlinedating profiles. What does that mean? Is there an accepted definition of who or what constitutes a “real man”? Do guys put something similar in their profiles? #single #insecure #askingforme

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

This is as gross a generalization as there ever was, but I realized today that I dislike most people. #reallynotcutoutforthis

@helenjane85 😢

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

I think I’m there. 😢 When I contemplate opening up a dating app, my feeling of “why bother” is now outweighing #FOMO.

What is the inflection point where one goes from being a hopeless romantic to just hopeless? Am I there? #single #dating

The world certainly doesn't owe me anything, but it would be nice to have a day where I didn't feel as though I was being taken advantage of. #niceguysfinishlast #treadonme

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

Thanks for the encouragement! I’m trying not to lose sleep over it. Literally. 😴

[Icebrkr @IcebrkrDating]

@LawsOnlineDatng Don’t let it get you down, they obviously aren’t worth your time.

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

I have yet to see a vine-like video on @Tinder that actually increases the person’s appeal.

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

#onlinedating, where you can be rejected, hundreds of times over, while you sleep. 😴😭

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

I take that back. There *are* attractive people, my age and nearby, who I haven’t seen before. It’s just that they’re all...flight attendants. 😞✈️ #takemewithyou

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

Now back home and swiping again through the same old people, I can’t help but wonder, “What if the grass actually *is* greener on the other side?” #donewithhere

Twitter friends give me more support about my non-existent #dating life than my real life friends do. Bless you all. #single

[LawsOfOnlineDating @LawsOnlineDatng]

I don’t entertain the idea of being polyamorous for a practical reason: I doubt I’ll find one person who likes me, let alone more than one. 💔💔💔
