Polls: Dating

Yes, not responding directly can be a game but there are lots of reasons why someone may not be sleeping or cal comfortable answering directly first thing. I can’t not take rust into consideration so even if I’m getting weird impression I don’t follow instinct immediately.

It is kind of tedious bc obviously disingenuous people will waste my good will but i prefer to be patient with the well meaning, rather than swift with the Ill intentioned.

I think I tend to give about 3 chances overall. After that I figure it’s a game or they just don’t want to answer and I should leave them be.

Lol now, obviously if someone said I don’t want to answer or walked away I’d never repeat the question— I’m talking about grey areas where they respond but don’t answer or ask a question to a question or are unnecessarily confusing etc

soooo how many chances do you give?

27F, I’ve officially come to terms with the fact I’ll end up alone. I’ve been on and off the apps for years, I really don’t think I’m that unattractive but the dating apps have indicated otherwise. I get a good bit of matches and guys reach out, it always either dies out or it isn’t reciprocated from the guy or I. I’ve tried almost every app, paid and free. I have one app installed, there was one time last year where I deleted the app for 6 months. Currently, I swipe on profiles maybe every other week or reply to messages 2-3 times per week. I don’t have friends so the apps are my only avenue considering I’m a homebody. I do know they work for some though, people have said I’m cute/attractive etc but guys never approach me in person. I used to purposely hold back and try to play hard to get, now I’m at the point where I have to force myself to open the app and remember to reply to this guy and so forth. I don’t want kids, id be down to get married but really worry about the reality that id have to be sexual knowing guys urges and so. I am not sexual, I haven’t had sex or masturbated in years. Maybe the right guy will change that?
Also, certain things about guys kinda turn me off, almost every guy I’ve known including my dad who I’m close with has dickish/macho tendencies and I don’t have patience for it lol.

TL;DR: does it sound like my dry spell/bad luck with dating apps stem from lack of interest? Or am I bitter?

I’m looking at men profiles here in my area. But they look like predators, drug addicts, or like they haven’t bathed in months. Till I extended my search and saw men in different countries looking well put together and almost looked like movie stars or models.
Is it just me noticing this or has anyone else?

😭😂

I have been told that my eccentric personality, hobbies, interests and way of thinking are the reason why I am single, apparently men prefer women who are not eccentric/weird. So I would like to know if you are into eccentric/weird women?
