Food and beverage for thought, babe.

My man, you're on tinder - show some understanding. She's multitasking talking with 132 other men at the same time, looking for the most immaculate guy there is. I'd be talking like a brick wall either if I was getting the level of attention she is!

Not sure if you're being entirely serious, but I do find it funny when people (often women in this context) self sabotage like this. By half assing 20 conversations, some number of good matches will bounce because you look like a boring person who can't converse. You're more likely to end up with someone who doesn't care about your words, and then will probably treat you badly.

I like to imagine a girl sitting on a bar stool in the middle of a bar full of men, slowly giving one word answers to the questions the men yell out like a press corps.

Which in a bar setting would make sense. Not everyone wants to be hit on just because they've gone out.

This person, is on tinder. They're literally in the place you go if you want to hit on people / get hit on.

Perhaps there is a reason these people are single.

More likely a bot. There are a lot of those on Tinder.

Chloe isn't that into you, take. The. Hint.

I got matched with a girl on Tinder and I started the convo. All I got were one line answers like "yup", "nope", "haha". Then we matched again on a different dating app. I chatted to her again but she never responded.

I get that dating apps can be daunting for many people, but we matched twice so clearly we are into each other. But really, make more effort than just giving one line responses or being matched again and not replying. That experience was more annoying than being ghosted or never getting any matches at all.

Tbh I would attribute this to someone just having poor literacy. Many people have a surprisingly serious struggle with reading or writing. If you ever have had to listen to an adult read something aloud, when they aren't someone who does a lot of reading for work? Slow, choppy, awkward, wrong inflection. You can tell they're literally taking it one word at a time, they aren't scanning the sentence ahead while reading. They do it word by word, storing each word in their mental RAM, and then discover the meaning of the sentence only at the end by reviewing that buffer. Then they pause as they internalize it and repeat the process. It's an exquisitely painful thing to watch. A LOT more people read like this than literate people think.

If this is tinder or similar, she should unmatch.

If it's just regular messaging, yeah the guy should back off.

This entire thread could serve as report material for lemmy user's social skills.

If she talks like this, walk away, she's not looking for personality and isn't worth the effort.

"Hey, lets's meet at place for a coffee and chat.I'd like to know you better."

If she declines, move on.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They're working. I'd consider it to be a good sign they are even responding while at work.

I’m not sure this person Chloe is working while they’re talking, just that is what they’re doing in general in Noosa or whatever it said.

Edit: Fraser Island, not Noosa, sorry.
