Continuing
on from the previous post, another thing that gets my goat about
online dating is messaging. At times.
If
it's a site like OkCupid or Plenty of Fish where you can send a
message to pretty much anyone, to not get a reply isn't unexpected,
and to get one message back for every ten first messages sent
wouldn't be too bad a ratio. I suspect my actual ratio is somewhat
lower.
But
for places like Tinder or Bumble, where you can only exchange
messages once you've both “liked” each other, to not reply to a
message seems odd. I mean, if you had no intention of messaging or
anything why “like” in the first place. I guess I could
appreciate it if it were only a few times this happens, but it seems
to be the norm.
Maybe
I'm unusual. Maybe I'm a rare person that only swipes right if I
really would send a message to the person. But to me that seems to be
a logical thing to do. Why swipe right if you don't have any
intention of following it up?
Ah,
well...
