I'm well aware that minorities have it rougher on dating apps (and many areas of life in general) but as a man I'm not comfortable singling women out and speaking on "the problem with women" or whatever when our own house is in such bad order.
I mean, if you don't think it's a good idea to be skeptical of unverified stories on the internet, I don't know what to tell you, chalk it up to whatever you want.
...I never said "fake news!", nor did I shout.
I cannot converse in good faith with you if you continually extrapolate to the most uncharitable interpretation of my posts.
That is an entirely different thread about an entirely different thing with entirely different context. If you want to debate about my posts in that thread, we can do so in that thread, I had multiple posts in that thread and cannot distill my overall opinion on that situation to a few lines, nor does one linked post accurately reflect my position.
And of course you didn't shout; that was a figure of speech.
yup
...You read one post. My first post in the thread said it sounded rude. I said that us as men should get our house in order before targeting women, consistent with my position here. disagreed with the assertion that it was inherently malicious and men were getting nothing out of the deal or being "tricked" as they are initially owed nothing. I do not believe women are sharing meals with people they absolutely despise.
Then none of what is in that post applies to you. Being white and of average height means you will never experience what a short, Asian man experiences in online dating.
That behavior should be banworthy. It's fucked up.
This. I'm a bit busy now, but I think I saw a similar article about this.
This is one of those obvious things you miss thinking about if you only online date. I realized this fact when a few female friends of mine started dating people they met IRL that they would've swiped left on a dating app for sure.
Made the observation, and noted it to them as they're close friends. People are just pickier and put up more walls with online dating, and not everyone is photogenic or is able to take good pictures.
A few years back Tinder/Bumble were infected with bots, but I think they have been pretty good at removing them. It does seem like there are far more "empty" profiles now. Where you question if there is anyone at all on the other end. Could be from people who aren't active on the app or they could be fake (but not bots). Interestingly, I have seen friend's profiles show up despite them swearing that they uninstalled the app.
Correct. But I've had friends claim they deleted the profile. They could certainly have been mistaken though.
As a black man, seeing this shit makes me depressed. I did get some likes when I was on Okcupid, but it wasn't much. Not going to bother with dating apps again until I get in better shape and get my recent braces removed in a year.EDIT: And if you want some definite proof then here's a chart from an article that was linked in the blog itself (it's 404'ed now but it's from official OKC sources):
