    I am beginning to suspect that I'm going to need to date someone in my industry if I have any hope of not being single for the rest of my life, given how much time my profession demands of me and how irregular my hours are. Problem being I have no desire to dip my pen in the company ink and I don't want to deal with post-breakup gossip about me flitting about like so many loose packing peanuts.

    This is a conundrum.

    You can just wait for the sex robots that orgasm more if you treat them better like the rest of us.

    nope that's why they're story worthy

    i briefly dated one guy with the smallest penis I have ever seen who could never actually ejaculate by choice; it would just randomly happen, like the tiniest sneeze

    it was just the strangest thing

    My ex's workplace is fucking filled with coworkers dating and gossip

    It's probably one of the most unprofessional theatres I've seen in that regard

    I feel bad for micropenis people already, that's gotta be the worst luck.

    I got a message back on OKC. What do. My instinct is to crawl under a rock. Please advise.

    (what is with my response rate. Looking at my messages I probably get a reply one in four or so. Granted I basically never get dates out of it but that seems high.)

    Burn your fingerprints off on the stove. Empty your bank account.

    RUN

    If that's not an option be cool and talk to them like their a cool, regular person.

    I struggle with getting conversation started too

    I've had some success this week and it's weird, because it's so rare

    I advise saying hello, maybe throwing a smiley emoji in, and asking what they're looking for on the app

    It's not always clear what the person is seeking

    But hey, I've had conversational success with four matches out of maybe 20 matches

    (I have only been on one date with a dating app match, and it didn't go well)

    Just relax, bro

    Conversations and tinder don't belong in the same sentence.

    I had tinder for like two months and never got a single match. I'm not like, turbo ugly, but I feel like pictures is basically all you have to go on in tinder. Which basically meant no one so swipe right on me.

    If "conversation" can consist of an opening line, a single response, and a follow-up reply and nothing else, I've had a few.

    I mean

    longer than that

    but uh, not anything deep

    I'm still trying to figure out what exactly women on Tinder want me to go with: conversation, or ask for phone number and date, or what

    I seriously went on tinder every few days for weeks swiped right anyone who looked even remotely interesting until I ran out of people and never got a match.

    Hearing other poeple say they get matched every so often at all is straight up demoralizing.

  • Options

    From what I heard Tinder's algorithm will basically put you in no man's land if you swipe right on everything that breathes constantly.

    Also super likes are good.

    I have sent a bunch of messages out since they removed visitor data on OKC and I have had a whopping 0% response rate.

    Disclaimer; all the below could be bollocks and is just my experience

    The trick with an opening message I found was to find something in their profile to breezily make a comment on and then do that, maybe be a little funny as you do so, but not necessarily so because humour is often reactive and contextualised by what precedes it and this is an opener. Don't be self-depicating because that comes off poorly, don't lay the compliments on too thick either.

    Skip the "hey how are you" bit because they get millions of those, it's a non-question anyway, and you're better off opening with a clear expression that you'd like to talk about a topic of interest to them. They like, I dunno, pottery making, you say...

    "Pottery making huh? That's pretty cool! I did that at school once and it was really fun, what was the last thing you made?"

  • Options
    DouglasDangerDouglasDanger PennsylvaniaRegistered User regular
    I thought that too, @Solar , but I've actually had more success with the passé hey how are you? Or hey how is your week treating you? Type stuff than the more topical messages

    My OKC experience is apparently different than most though, so
