Why do you not respond to messages when online dating?

I have noticed that on dating apps, I will often get matches from women, and messages (especially on bumble where women have to text first), and then an immediate drop in contact. I just don't understand why. You are on a dating app, so you presumably are single and want to meet someone, you liked my profile so you find me attractive, you sent me a text so you want to have a conversation. Then decide to just drop all communication. This happens more often than not with online dating matches. Why waste everyone's time if you have no intention or interest of even writing a text message, much less going on a date?

Sometimes, people find a good candidate and they aren't interested in staying on the dating carousel. But some sites won't let you delete your profile; they want the site to look like it has six cajillion users. When I've been in that position, I put a comment in my profile stating that I'm no longer active, but it's surprising how many users really don't read the profiles!

Because, Just because she's attracted to me doesn't mean I'm under any obligation to respond back to her.

You realize most women go on those dating sites just for shits and giggles. Very few have any intention of dating anyone.

No I don't realize that, what is the point?

If it's a guy, then it's a man worth a penny. I have a sea of men wanting to fk me, or try to woo me. All the same way, making it not worth my time

So why. woudl you initiate contact in the first place?

because if you don't, you become that loser who thinks that I exist everywhere. (i mean i kinda do physically because I've been told I've been seen somewhere but i digress) To me, most men I meet are a dime a 8 pack. But a girl wants to be approached. And if it sparks with her, then you've done something good
