Reply To: “A Man Asked My Boyfriend to Take Nude Photos of Him”

I’ve noticed an uptick in letters on this site where the LW discovers their SO on a dating app. The common excuses on this site always seem to be:
– I was only looking for friends
– It’s like using social media
– I was bored, I’m not *actually* looking

No, no, and no. It was super upsetting when it happened to me, so these letters kinda get me worked up. Literally nobody takes the time to create an online dating profile and engage with the apps, holding themselves out as single to singles, unless they’re open to other possibilities. It’s also shitty to the singles who don’t almost surely don’t know that the person they’re chatting with is misrepresenting themselves.

Is the dating pool at 45 really that slim, LW? Cause I feel like you can do better than a shady septuagenarian.
