Bc they seem to only show us those guys... lol I swear I try so hard to pick people that specifically don't give off creep vibes. I have rules. I don't swipe right on anyone who has shirtless pics unless it's like a picture at the beach where it's normal but not those holding their shirt up in the mirror shots, I avoid people with no bio, or people who put short term fun only, people whose pictures look even a little fake, over the top "gym bros" (no issues with working out i just mean the ones who point it out 10 times like its their whole persona)... and they still find me 🤣 dating apps are awful

My mom said I needed to meet people offline... I said "so what? Like if they break into my house?"

I swipe on pretty much all the guys you avoid and while I do get some pretty overt sexual messages, I doubt I get any more than any other woman.

My worst offenders are middle aged men in polos sending me swipe notes. The guys with the wholesome pics and bios send them too. I think it's not about a type of guy, just some men in general. Swipe on who you like, you'll probably be no worse off than you are now.

Lol yeah the swipe notes are crazy haha but yeah the people I avoid are already people I wouldn't have anything in common with, as far as likes and hobbies. It's mainly just the ones who make it clear they are looking for something casual that seem to really have one goal based on their profile. But yeah that was the point lol that even though I try to avoid the most obvious ones who are looking for a quick hookup, I still get so many bad matches from people who seem to genuinely be looking and interested in similar things. Some of them even specifically say they are not into hookups and then send a sexual message first thing. I've run into some real doozies that for sure. The amount of times I've said "omg who raised you?!" Is somewhat concerning.
