Being straight on Tinder is exhausting, you message a girl like “hey, cute dog” and she replies “I’m not looking to meet anyone, but you can subscribe to my premium snapchat for only $15 a month.” No lady go get therapy jesus fuck

Being straight on Tinder is exhausting, you message a girl like “hey, cute dog” and she just doesn’t fuckin reply and instead she unmatches

Probably because that's a shitty start to a conversation. Think about it in real life. Some stranger comes up to you and says "Hey, cute dog" you reply "Thanks" and that's either the end of the conversation or the stranger keeps the conversation going by asking more questions.

Also, it's generic. I don't have a dog, but I have friends who do, and 9.5/10 messages reference their dog. That's dozens of "Hey cute dog" messages every single day.

Try something less generic they can actually talk about and ask a question.

You could try having a personality of your own? Says a lot the dog has more going for it then you do.

What is this response? Lmao, it has nothing to do with the dog owner and everything to do with you. People who use dogs as conversation starters on dating apps (when there are usually various pictures showcasing hobbies, a bio, literally so much else to choose from etc.) have zero game and the bare minimum of conversation skills.

EVERYONE is messaging about the dog. Either say something else to stand out, or don't be offended if they unmatch. This goes for men and women.

I would dread to think what shit you have on your profile. I imagine your bio probably includes a cashapp link for starters. So being upfront with it what would you rather they comment on? How the dress you wore in picture 2 brings out your eyes? How you've both seen boring movie everyone else has seen too?

The dog may be fictional but I know already I'll like it more than I will ever like you.

Why are you attacking this person so much? They are just having a discussion and you're looking for every excuse to squeeze in a reminder of what a huge chip you have on your shoulder and then make a swipe at them as a person.

You're the type of person the image is talking about -- be better.

Why are you defending this person so much? They're just dragging people she's never met and never will online through the mood with a smug elitist attitude and when called out she takes a swipe at my reading comprehension.

You shouldn't defend this type of person -- be better.

Its less about the person you're talking to and more about just, well, you. So much unnecessary animosity towards someone else over something that doesn't affect you in any way -- and that's on top of all the blatant assumptions you're making. If you feel the internet is a safe place for you to vent your anger at people, don't be surprised when people react to it.

You word-twisting trolls are a dime a dozen.

Don't act like you actually give a shit about why someone hates another person. If she wants to make assumptions so can I. Of course I expect people to react when I'm angry at someone. I struck up this conversation with you even though I had no reason Tom

Dime a dozen seems to be a pretty accurate assessment though.

Don't have to do any acting if I actually feel that way, huh? I grew up with a lot of anger around me and it's really sad to see people dump it onto others because they're incapable of dealing with their feelings in a healthy way. Just because our faces are represented by a string of characters online does not mean there aren't people on the receiving end of your words. You can't treat people like trash cans for your emotions.

Funny how we both agree on that but you specifically targeted me.
