bazkie, ministry of gendersoup<p>It's so weird, every match I got on dating apps over the past few years can only talk about themselves, and rarely seem interested in me! It's endemic! I don't remember it being like this at all when I was young (~25-20 years ago)!</p><p>I wonder..<br>- maybe people become more self centered as they age?<br>- maybe it's a cultural thing because we became more individualist?<br>- maybe the self centered people stay single because nobody likes them? 🤣<br>- maybe it's always been like this but I just never noticed when I was younger?</p><p>I'd like to hear other people who did online dating ~20 years ago if they have insights on this; is it just me, or is this really a thing?</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dating</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/OnlineDating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineDating</span></a></p>

madame poolhair<p>It's official, I hate <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a>, ... I went on my last and final date ever today. Don't get me wrong, the guy was really kind, cute and interesting, but I walked home thinking ' I can't do this again', because it feels too much like a job interview, (bleh) I don't want the creation of my interpersonal relationships to feel like this, (unless it's for an actual job)... You know what? just be my friend, the quickest way to my heart is through <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/friendship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>friendship</span></a>, and if it becomes more, cool, if not , also cool. 😎</p>

Girl on the Net<p>I'd love this to get a lot of shares. It's SFW and I think genuinely helpful - some of Jack's mistakes are ones many make on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dating</span></a> sites, and I have given useful advice on how to avoid making them. Especially proud of 'compliment, connect, question'. Make your first message stand out, innit.</p>
