The old insecure feelings arise... Dating Apps *barf*
I finally decided to go on a dating app again.
Well, two now.
Maybe it's my age?
My looks have not changed much, but when I was in my 20's, I got a decent amount of "matches" (whether they were good or spam or not, basically there was activity).
36 now and crickets. After two days on Hinge, only 2 matches. And I spent a LOT of time "liking" and "rejecting", and filling out my profile, and being very active. Still, crickets. My dumb a** even paid. One matched me but then never responded when I sent a message (and before you say "you were only there 2 days", if a person can't find the time to reply in 48 hours, I don't want them). The second called me "hot" when I only had selfies (trust me, very mediocre average selfies from the neck up). Then he unmatched when I asked him to say potato (look up potato test).
Also on Hinge the radius is only 100 miles. All that exists around me within 100 miles are guys who like: hunting, camping, golf, sports, guns, beer, concerts (I'm introvert but could go to one..but like, that's a "hobby"? Concerts and karaoke and sht? Not for me), and tattoos (I love the show "Ink Master"...but I don't like tattoos in general. Most are poorly done. I have not found one single thing I love so much that I want it permanently put on my body. Also ink from tattoos has been found in lymph nodes....not good.
Sigh.
I feel very much like Eartha Kitt and Cher when they basically say, what value can a man add to my life right now?
Nothing. So much so it makes me laugh. (below, a MUST see)
I guess all I really ever wanted was a travel buddy. But recently I asked my cousin and she said she would be down to travel whenever. So now that's covered.
One of my ex's biggest fear was to end up alone. And I suppose that could be the same for a bunch of people.
I thought it was mine, too.
But again, I'm 36. 37 in May, woo. Have "had" and lived with 4 partners for long periods (1 year or more).
But damn...I really like being single (3 years now).
It's just so peaceful.
Makes me wonder why people fear not having a romantic partner?
Anyway, the other site was Tinder.
But something is bugged out because every now and then I get the same person that I've already "liked". I checked again and I literally see the SAME GUY every time I open the app. And it's someone I've already "liked". WTF? I am on a stable network connection and logged in and blah blah blah. wtf.
ALSO, they won't let me add my "spotify anthem". It's Sabrina Carpenter's "Please Please Please", because I thought it would be funny.
UGH. So now it's shown below.
