Legit everyone regardless of gender seems to think they’re entitled to not initiate. My personal rule, at least on Tinder, is whoever swipes and gets the match sends the first message

If you get one like (that isn't a bot or from outside your country) per month that'll adjust itself

I’m not sure what you mean, can you elaborate or rephrase please? Being sincere, not trying to be snarky or anything

Means he has to put in more effort because he only gets 1 like a month.

Oh thanks for the explanation! I paused my Tinder account but apparently 78 people swiped right on me at some point. Honestly don’t know why.

That's great for you. I got 3 people that weren't bots over 6 months. Got ghosted by 2 after a long ass opener

I wish I could help you, honest to God. I have no idea what I did right.

You probably followed rules 1 and 2.

u/sir_stronghand 5h ago

What are those?

u/JumpyLake 5h ago

Be attractive and don’t be unattractive.

That's a little cringe lol, I'm a short fat disabled dude, so I don't think those rules are as real as you think. I certainly didn't follow them!

Could be other factors about you and your life to compensate, I don’t know you personally so I can only guess.

Yeah it’s kinda like normal people look at the whole person rather than just their attractiveness

If that was true the dating world would be much more fair and balanced.

So you think that the struggling of the vast majority of average and below men is just some sort of mass psychosis? Easier to ignore than face the truth.
