Figuring things out means they don’t know what they want. So why would I waste my time and money on a girl who probably doesn’t want a relationship

Anonymous OP 5w

Bc even women who want a relationship may singly not see it with you. The point of dating is getting to know ppl. If you’re more worried abt the date and the money you may to wait to date yourself

I don’t think you realize what you’re saying have you ever used the apps? Like if they obviously are opposed to casual stuff, then they should put that they are looking for dates and serious relationships.

Anonymous OP 5w

I know what I’m saying. You just don’t want to date ppl unless you’re already dating basically. If you care so much about your poor money being wasted don’t date then. Bc even women that are ready for relationships go on dates and can potentially lose interest. Do you hold ur sane sentiment to taking them on dates?

I don’t invite them over so that’s not why they are saying no in my case.

Figuring it out really does not mean hookups that’s what intimacy without commitment options are for. You didn’t have to swipe in return if you don’t like what’s in their profile. It takes both parties to match

It’s like they actually want to be traditionally dated pretty much when they have things in their profile that suggest they will hook up

Women that are ready for relationships put such on their profile lmao

Is this your first time on an app bc you clearly suck at reading profiles and knowing what it means you just want excuses to shame ppl atp

I don’t see benefit in going on dates that will not lead to a relationship unless there’s more happening or she’s paying her way

Anonymous OP 5w

Yeah and they can still not want a serious one with you specifically after the first date. It takes getting off the app to truly know ppl yk

Anonymous OP 5w

Okay then don’t go on dates at all you’re clearly not ready or mature enough to understand how dates work. I’ve been on dates to then realize we aren’t the right fit for each other specifically. Doesn’t mean I’m not ready for a serious relationship I just am not wanting one with that specific person

If a girl who likes my profile has figuring things out instead half of her photos are thirst traps, I’m not going to look at her and say she’s looking for dates on the app

That’s fine, what’s not fine to me is basically already saying you don’t want a serious relationship and expecting similar treatment to girls who do look

You are missing my point I recognize not all dates end in something that’s normal. But why waste time on dates that are practically guaranteed to be nothing

OP is complaining about being broke atp. I’ve never had a guy complain about a date bc we didn’t end up dating at the end. As long as we both had a nice time he was okay with it

So are you going to read the words I write or are you just going to make your own assumptions. I have no financial struggles that doesn’t mean I’m wasting money on women who have no intention of anything

Whats your explanation for this

Anonymous OP 5w

That doesn’t change your broke and cheap mentality. If you can’t even afford to want to take a woman out to get to know her bc “what’s the point if nothing comes out of it” but yet you’re willing to invite ppl over to hookup? And that’s free btw. Some reflection needs to be made. You’re trying to put this on women when you’re not being serious yourself or that wouldn’t even be a thought to cross your mind

Called out how? I don’t date men that would rather hookup for free but can’t take me out yet they so desperately want women who want “serious relationships”. I wouldn’t take you seriously

She… misread your message? You said “I have no financial struggles”. Easy for eyes to skip over the “no”, especially if it’s in the same sentence as “I ain’t paying”, because that creates the expectation for the two parts of your statement to fit together.

How much time have you wasted talking about this? You could have been reading about how gravity works or learning how to tie a cherry stem in a knot with your mouth. If these dating app women are a waste of time, just ignore them.

They continued writing multiple comments after about me not being able to afford dates it was clearly on purpose.

Anonymous #6 5w

Because they act as if I’m wrong for not wanting to waste time going out with a girl who doesn’t know wtf she wants. Be fr half of these girls wouldn’t go out with a dude who put long term but asks to hu. Same shit these girls are doing in the reverse

Have you thought abt the idea that what she wants may depend on the person, but to know that, she may have to actually get to know them?

I’m only treating her with the sex lens because that is how she presents herself when I receive the like in my inbox it would be a different story if she wasn’t

Anonymous #6 5w

That’s fine but I’m a man so I’m expected to put effort planning an exciting date and let alone paying for it. Why would I waste that effort on a woman who’s already telling me there’s a lower chance of anything good coming out of it. Versus those who say they want something

Anonymous OP 5w

Listening To Narcissists Babble Endlessly University. Real headache. Do not attend. But it did help me learn about this behavior. Narcissists are often quite transactional in their relationships, which certainly applies to you, and they have a tendency to blame others for frustrating experiences they have. And they also absolutely hate it when people see through them or have something bad to say about them.

Anonymous #5 5w

Don’t tell me you thought that wasn’t a sarcastic question. Like the fact I don’t want to engage seriously with women who themselves are either clueless or dishonest about their intentions doesn’t = npd. I’ve clearly stated multiple times it’s a different story if they stated they wanted a serious relationship in their profile.

1

Anonymous OP 5w

The fact that you’re still going on about this, and blaming your frustration on multiple strangers you met on a dating app, is evidence that it might apply. You have yet to show any sort of empathy or accountability, and your approach to dating is transactional. Based on the way you engaged here, it seems you just wanted a reason to look down on the women who didn’t want to date you or have sex with you after talking to you. It is certainly a possibility.

1

Anonymous OP 5w

Other possibility is that you spent too much time online and got bitter. That will also result in people acting like a narcissist online, but not in person. Either way dude, try to take some time to yourself and think about who you are and why you act the way you do. Self-reflection is a very useful tool in understanding yourself, and it helps free your brain.

Anonymous #5 5w

“Still going on” it’s the topic of the post and I’m reply to people speaking to me simple as that. What accountability is there to be had other than accepting these people are clearly clueless and or lying about their intentions which is why I don’t take them out and unlatch. Empathy? For who no one is being harmed there is nobody to be felt bad for on either side. Clearly they do want to date since they matched and got upset when I said I didn’t want to take them out so that makes little sense.
