Now I have to keep referring back to the dating app anyway to remind me of his face and interests because I'm not doing admin work whereby I transfer every single man's details who asks from dating app to text app (I do not give out my real number), when I don't even know if we will meet each other at all much less more than once. If this process is made laborious for me, I'm not incentivized to stick with it when I have safety concerns to consider on top of it. Whoever invented the "get her off the app ASAP" advice was an idiot- if every man does it, it's even worse anonymity for her to sort through. It's not like she's going to stop going to the app from one date with him. Duh.
But, men learn not by explanation but when their modus operandi becomes a pain point. I recommend all of you, the next time a man just flings his number out on an app without having met you and won't accept "no" for you not giving yours, to promptly sneak into the skeeziest public men's restroom you can find (scratch that, get your funnest male friend to do this for you) with a magic marker, and write that number in every stall with "Call me BBs!" under it. Make them as cautious about protecting their personal info as we have to be.
95% of men on the apps are looking for texting buddies, so I don’t give out my phone number before we meet. If they have any problem with that whatsoever, it proves I was right in assuming that. I love when they say “Here’s my number so we can text if it’s easier.” How is it easier? It takes 1 second to open the app. I know the answer though, “if it’s easier” translates to “You are not responding quickly enough and I think direct access to your phone will pressure you to respond faster.” Also they can send photos when texting directly. 🤢
Also I love you idea. 😂
I used to just block and delete but now I just avoid online dating all together.
Creeps don't deserve any sort of potential access to me.
After multiple incidents of stalkerish men with violent obsessive tendencies I don't see the point of being on online dating apps.
Why should I display my name, city, bio of my personality and pictures of me so men within a 100+ mile radius can see it?
No thank you. Most online dating apps also have a "how many miles away" display. So all a predator has to do is drive around until it changes to "less than 1 mile" in order to narrow down their target.
Sometimes these men would attempt to "casually" ask questions about my routine or ask what kind of home I live in or what kind of vehicle I drive to "get to know me"
HECK NO. DO NOT DO ANSWER THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS.
There are so many weirdos with horrible intentions that have way too much free time. I don't see the risk being worth the tiny chance of finding a hvm in a sea of trash.
The best way to get revenge on lv scroutes is to ignore their existence and deny them access to you. Deprive them of their ego boosts. Let them rot in loneliness. Level up and work on being successful and happy.
Don't let the energy vampires know they struck a nerve in you. Don't go out of your way to "get back" at these losers. Your time is precious and should be spent doing things that actually benefit your well-being.
I am really questioning why I got back on these shitty apps .These men give out their number almost immediately. I have learned (not soon enough!) not to do that, because as others said: they have no intention of meeting. They're BORED AF!
