I seriously feel like the girls ok these dating apps think they are hotter then they actually are not just that but they are hyper critical of everything. Some of these girls seriously can’t take a joke but then some of them block you for no reason I swear this one girl on hinge the other day I think I had one like left but I saw she had a tik tok video up so I usually choose the option to just shoot my shot through socials just to get a better idea of what there into. I did swipe right though just in case but she wasn’t online. So I checked her tik tok out and nothing was on there which I thought was odd so her tik tok had a link to her ig so I checked that out. She was cute and we had a lot in common. I shot her a follow and let t it at that. Woke up this morning to find she blocked me on ig , I didn’t even do anything but I got blocked make that make sense. I feel like that’s so drastic who blocks someone they haven’t even spoken to if you weren’t interested that fine ignore me but blocking me is crazy it’s not that deep. Or another girls I spoke to a few days prior we were chatting and I asked her ethnicity she said Puerto Rican and I said oh I’ve heard a few things about the Puerto Ricans but I can’t talk I’m also part Puerto Rican. I don't know if she took it as rude but I was poking fun at the fact that I hear puerto ricans are called toxic. Which I don’t believe I was just poking fun at it cause it’s obviously not true. She just stopped talking to me after that. Maybe u think I’m out of like or I don't know I think the se were kinda drastic cause even if I’d made that joke in real life with a girl which I’ve done something along those lines or like something with the ig I’ve never gotten those two types of reactions. One bad joke and it’s all over? I see why some of them are on these apps or maybe they found someone else I don't know but considering there still on the apps I doubt it.

Define “hypercritical”. Ell oh ell!
I suspect feeling like you don’t measure up is the problem, for you. Women tend to be more selective than men, for sure. But that’s a problem with men’s standards, not women’s. More men need to start establishing standards and boundaries early and often, and sticking to them.
In reality, being “hypercritical” in dating is a lot like overpricing your products or services in business. As long as you accept that you may get little to no business because of your expectations, it’s not a problem. The business owner doesn’t owe you their products or services at all, let alone at a price of your choosing. You can’t afford them. Move on.
My only problem with women’s standards was the lies. Nearly unanimously, women would say “looks don’t matter” and “money doesn’t matter”, “as long as he’s kind and has a good sense of humor”. Meanwhile millions of good dudes with great senses of humor lose out to rich, good looking men all the time, and literally always have. At least women are finally being honest about what they want. I think that’s a move in the right direction.
I don’t think it’s necessarily just a self esteem thing. It’s scary to put oneself out there and girls tend to get burned a lot by fake profiles so perhaps they end up being more sensitive to things to avoid having to deal with another fake (or inaccurate) profile? I don't know, tbh, since I’m not on dating apps. 🤷🏻♀️
Okay well I can understand I would have to say I think guys deal with fake profiles far more then the girls but then I’m not a girl so I can’t accurately say plus I probably have some biased being a guy. But like I feel like a lot of girls take something small and turn it into a big deal you know. Like the other girl who posted on her tried to say I was stalking the girl who I mention in my examples cause I gave her a follow on ig and then tried to say bad jokes a cause for rejection. That’s unrealistic in what world is one bad joke cause for rejection you’ll be signed forever with that mindset and if someone promotes there’s socials on a dating app and you check out ther socials in what world does that now make you a stalker like what? So I’m forbidden in checking out someone’s profile in social media now like you said what if the person fake checking out there socials is a great way to see what the persons about what there into and just see if there real to begin with.
I wish I could offer more clarity. Yeah, I’m sure there are fake female profiles also… the apps kind of lend themselves to this sort of thing. It’s why I’d never think to use them.
I appreciate your opinion nonetheless unlike some others you’re actually trying to help so thank you 🙏🏾
You only get one chance to make a good first impression. Heard the expression before? You are making jokes only you know the punchline to (and it does sound like a rejection if you don't get the joke by the way) and stalking a girls social media to talk to her when she's specifically has a dating profile, well, that's just not going to come off well.
Women have way more options when it comes to dating on those kinds of sites and we have to filter through those who are just looking to hook up vs a possible relationship and reconcile that with what we want for ourselves. It's why we can be pickier and often need to be.
It’s not something only I would get the punch line too as she was also pureto Rican and from what I’ve been told by multiple other females it’s pretty well known thing sooo that isn’t on me. And if one bad joke is cause for rejection again that is hypocritical in what world does a a bad joke equal cause for rejection you’ll be single forever in that care cause there’s gonna be a lot of bad jokes in relationships. Secondly I wasn’t stalking her social media the vast majority of the se girls leave there socials media on the profile to begin with and all I did was shoot her a follow. Girls like you are the issue you take something small and then turn it into this weird shit.
And yet your joke didn't land, so obviously it isn't THAT well known.
A lot leave them on there to gain followers, not necessarily to be messaged there. Unless her profile specifically says to contact her there instead.
And girls like me have successfully used dating apps to find someone, so I guess I know what I'm talking about. It's weird shit, because it was weird.
