Anyway, about 24 hours ago, I signed up on Tinder.
We were talking about it at work and I was just curious to see what would happen. Being recently single after a brief relationship, I was willing to give it a shot.
I am still trying to figure it all out but in the last 24 hours, this is what I learned.
I would read an entire profile and see what they are looking for. I swiped right on those who are looking for someone fun, someone to go do things with. Some are looking for a long term, meaningful relationship. So, I respond to messages of those I matches with and and they will still ask about your favorite sexual position in the first 10 minutes I find this a very interesting way to start off a potential long term relationship with a possible soul mate. *insert eyeroll here*
I also have been asked to provide more photos of myself even though I look the same in all photos except this one:
And that is just me tired of being asked for more photos.
Speaking of photos...
Currently I have enough dick pics to wallpaper the garage. Why do guys think that a dick is a turn on? Most men don't even know how to use it correctly. Seriously, they are not pretty and a lot of times they remind me of a turkey neck. I received one such masterpiece and was asked is I like it and I said I couldn't give an honest opinion because I was still comparing it to the last dick pic I got.
Then they have the balls (see what I did there?) to ask for naked pics of me. "Well, I sent you one of me, so...." Seriously???? I didn't even ask for one of you.
My one favorite question that I get asked is "What are you looking for?". I usually am a smart ass and respond with "I didn't know I lost anything." Hell, what I am looking for to start with is a decent conversation. You can send me all the dick pics you want but prove to me that you aren't stupid. Send me a video of you reading out loud or solving a word problem.... hell, recite a Shakespearian sonnet.
Another observation is when I send a message to someone to say hello, they respond "hi" and that's it. Then crickets.... Buddy, you matched with me and I send a message and then nothing. You can't possibly be looking for a relationship if you don't participate in conversation. Am I wrong?
I also get told that I am pretty or sexy and then they want to know my breast size. Do men really understand cup sizes? What does the size of my boobs have to do with my intellect or my personality? It's not like I keep my brain in them.
Men who state that they want a serious relationship and then ask about your boobs aren't very serious about any relationship.
Being in my 50's, I am more into a relationship that is more than just dicks and boobs. Are we even going to try a favorite position when we are in our 80's?
If you are looking for a serious relationship, then there is more to just asking about cup sizes and dick pics. Strike up a good conversation, pick a topic that doesn't lead to sexual bullshit. Pick my brain, make me laugh, stop asking for more pictures and for God's sake, put your penis away.
