Yeah, us women, out there on dating apps SOLELY to waste men’s time…not like dating for women isn’t also rife with actually horrible issues. “Wasting time,” like wanting a picture of you first? Or taking time to get to know you or is this the time wasted we’re talking about just messaging?

Women:
They simply owe anyone in the world anything they want! Not like we don’t have minds, needs, wants of our own.

As a dumb ignorant American, I actually am curious what third-world African country this is where the people appear white (but aren’t) and are overweight. He said in his other post that it was a dangerous place to live. Anyone know? Is it South Africa?

Potentially North African too, somewhere that isn’t quite as dark like Egyptian or something.

He did it to himself!

“At first I was surprised to learn all about the frustrations most men seem to have of the apps. ”

I mean generally online dating involves a lot of rejection. You’re asking people out or reaching out to be people with less of a foundation than you would have on other circumstances so you are more likely to get rejected more often . There are platforms that are better or worse than others but that’s baseball. If you are incapable of understanding the internality of other humans it may seem unfair and cruel.

Even setting aside online dating there are just more resources out there for meeting people and finding a partner these days.* There’s no excuse for causing others or yourself problems at the workplace. I guess that this is a species of my “half the world is women” advice . Lotsa people out there, lots of ways to meet em. No good reason to pursue a problematic dating situation.

I think it’s hilarious he thinks the apps are a joyous walk in the park for women. I never had an issue getting matches or lining up dates, I’ll give WDWE that much. And I did meet some nice guys that way. But I dealt with flakes, ghosting, and rejection like everyone else. Sometimes I got named called, harassed, and/or was made to feel slightly unsafe. A friend of a good friend was legitimately stalked — and NOT the online version of stalking that’s not actually stalking. I’ve had multiple friends end up unknowingly dating men who were married or in relationships but holding themselves out as single. It’s rough out there for everyone, not just men, and it’s so stupid to think otherwise.
