We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

A good insult requires no elaboration. We feel it before we understand it. That’s why some slurs resonate even when we’re not sure who or what they’re defaming. Consider the strange case of fuckboy, which plays a central role in Nancy Jo Sales’ controversial article, “Tinder and the Dawn of the ‘Dating Apocalypse,’ ” in this month’s Vanity Fair. Here are two true statements about the word: Everyone knows what fuckboy means. And no one knows what fuckboy means. | ||

I think at least in my area, the consensus is it's always been a synonym for "tool". Probably closest to #3 on urban dictionary: Fuckboy A manipulating dick who does whatever it takes to benefit him, regardless of who he screws over. They will screw over anyone and everyone as long they get what they want. That fuckboy Seth made me sleep outside in the cold so he could try to get some from Susan, who was blacked out drunk as shit, barfing all night. Edit: God I hate that word "problematic". | ||

Don't take it personally, they just get a fuckton of messages and they can be how picky they want. Yeah she once told me she had trouble saying no to people, I guess she is to afraid to respond but to me the answer is a clear no whether she says it or not. I don't really care that much though, life goes on. | ||

Having an open mindset will help you out a lot. Forget about black and white thinking when it comes to dating. Women will come back in the most random times, sometimes you ask a girl out, she says no, then 2 weeks pass and she's suddenly in touch asking you what's up and swiftly accepts another date invitation. Make sure you clearly specifically state what you want, don't burn any bridges unless it's an ex and you want to move on and you'll be surprised how many women come back to your life. | ||

I've browsed a lot of /r/tinder on reddit, and the guys who do get a ton of matches say they have pictures of their abs or are shirtless. Wouldn't surprise me if this is true. Feels like women do not know what they want at all, they say they want one thing and go for the exact opposite all the time. I'm not using Tinder that much at the moment, I've matched with some girls but most are new freshmen. Might be fine if you just want to fuck but since I'm not really looking for that I see no point of talking to them since they will experience I might remake my account later with some tryhard pictures so I can swipe other girls again. Climbing pictures, picture of me in the middle of a longboard "slide" and other shit like that. I haven't mentioned any of my hobbies in my bio either, and I've noticed that most girls think climbing is pretty cool so that was probably a bad move. | ||

1) Their feelings simply change. Girls decide more on immediate emotional state than men do. And so what if she had a boyfriend, was busy, or had medical issues, why'd you pre-judge that she wants to feed her ego, even if true in some cases? 2) They test, be it as an instinct or on purpose. To weed out needy guys, guys that have nothing going on, stalkers etc. Pretty much all desirable girls do this (wait between replying, or not reply at all out of the blue) at some point to test you, especially at start. I'd do the same if I was a chick who's got guys professing love, bombarding me with messages, being clingy, freaking out when I wouldn't reply and telling me their life story in the first few hours they met me all the time. This is actually what happens to the girl I'm dating all the time. And she keeps telling me about it and how guys are messaging her on facebook(I don't even have her in friends) hitting on her .... And at start with me she'd take 1-2+ days normally to reply to text messages, sometimes not reply at all, take 5 days before writing first, was always late to dates... And now she's the one who always initiates texting, replies often right away, or after a few hours max even when I've just sent her a statement not expecting a reply, and she comes to dates early. Girls like that just have naturally many choices and options, they always have a lot of guys flirting with them/being in love with them you are not second but just one of many in the beginning as it takes longer time for girls to fall in love and for one I like when a girl like this chooses me  EDIT: Of course you never let these girls string you along. You specifically state what you want (most often to take them out on a date I assume) and if you don't get it either by rejection, flakiness or simply no reply just say okay, give me a call if you change your mind and don't send any follow up messages. And you move on minding your own business. And when they do contact you, you just assume they want to do what you wanted so you ask for it again. There's never a reason to be strung along, or telling her she can fuckoff | ||

but you have to consider that youre the "success" story in this scenario if you look at the flipside think of all the other guys who are flirting/messaging her without getting anything in return. if shes shooting them down no mercy style then fair play to her, but if shes keeping the conversation going (even if its unwillingly) then its just a dick move because the other guys probably have this hope that she'll choose them eventually (like she apparently chose you) ok ur edit pretty much covered it but whatever | ||

There is a huge difference between actively not responding for the sake of testing someone and just not responding for a while. In my opinion testing someone like that points to immature behavior and not someone I would want to spend time with. If someone were to shit-test me well then, that shit just backfired because you failed my shit-test. The latter is fine with me. | ||

assuming something malicious is going on, or that she's looking for attention and ego stroking if she answered later - that's some salty ass, bordering on woman hating shit that poisons your entire thinking save that shit when you actually know she's stringing you along or some shit.

The latter is fine with me. of course most sane people would agree with that. the issue here is that the automatic assumption from you two about a woman not replying within 24 hours to an unsolicited message from a coworker is HAH! SHITTEST! GOTCHA BITCH! | ||

Just because they're not interested in you doesn't make them worse people. Either you got hit by bad circumstances or you're not good enough. In the second case, buckle up and improve. | ||

I never said they are bad people for not liking me. It doesn't mean she is better or worse or that I am better or worse. I simply said that I'm not going to keep fawning over them if they don't like me. | ||

Cute paradox, but you seem to have misinterpreted either the paradox or me. I don't dislike the girl for not responding, I just don't really care. Do you expect me to be bothered that a random stranger on tinder decides not to respond, that would be truly messed up. A more accurate version of that fox paradox would be if he thought "fuck that grape on the top of the tree" and then goes to eat a perfectly edible grapes on the lower branches which he can reach. That would be me. | ||
