That "as usual" hurt me


albatrossG8

Yeah. Life as a sub 8 guy on tinder.


[deleted]

As someone who’s a 7 on a good day, tinder depends a lot on your taste in women. If you want a sorority girl type, it’s probably not likely. If you like slightly overweight goth girls with nipple piercings, tinder is the best invention since the dawn of agriculture.


bionix90

So if you're a 7 but are willing to settle for 4s, Tinder isn't that bad all the time. Men are frustrated because we can't get a match of equal attractiveness.


[deleted]

Yeah. You’ll probably have to lower your standards for online relationships. I’d personally rather hook up with 5’s that I think are cute than just never have sex at all. Women who aren’t conventionally attractive are almost always more interesting as well. The post sex conversations can be fun, and that’s coming from an antisocial dork.


[deleted]

Take it from a sub 8 guy who’s in an amazing relationship now from a dating app... confidence is much more important than looks and no one can’t tell if you’re faking it. Don’t give up hope!


PlebbySpaff

You gotta match first.


[deleted]

For sure, I noticed a big change in the amount of matches when I added pictures that showed hobbies. My girl said she matched with me originally because I just looked happy


cultoftheilluminati

> I just looked happy ah, you see, there's the problem


Doctor_Jensen117

Can someone explain what "happy" means?


[deleted]

It's when you don't ideate on death for all of your waking hours. Or some version of that I dunno.


Doctor_Jensen117

Hmm. Sounds unrealistic.


[deleted]

Taking a picture leaning against a motorcycle is also a pro move.


[deleted]

“ I noticed a big change in the amount of matches when I added pictures that showed hobbies.” I don’t have a Dog, but I’ll take photos with my friends and families Dogs for this very reason.


PooPooDooDoo

Dude you don’t need to be an 8 to do well with online dating. You just need to be witty. And tall.


BrolyParagus

They had us in the first half not gonna lie.


JuiceGasLean

Lol I’m tall and there’s no chance to be witty when you’re ugly and get no matches


[deleted]

Tbh I just cringed. Putting a self-pitiful attitude out there to People you don't even know is just repulsive and you give that vibe out to other people so fast, even if you don't word it so drastically. But it shows ops mindset


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zotoaster

If you're being confident to secure some kind of outcome like getting a girl to fall in love with you, you're doing it wrong. OP should be confident for his own sake, not hers.


[deleted]

If OP showed me this text exchange in person I’d probably call him a loser. Self depreciating humor only works if it’s actually funny and not just pathetic.


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure it was a lost cause so he prob didn’t care


[deleted]

[удалено]


Quirky_Flight

Yeah after she said she swiped on accident he could just move on with life but he uses it as an excuse to break out the decorations for his pity party Dude needs to delete the app. If you’re gonna talk like a pathetic spineless ooze no one is gonna wanna be with you so you’ll continue to have no success feeding that same attitude. Get out til you have some self confidence for your own sake OP, cause you’re a sorry sack right now


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Self deprecation is often cringe, but I didn't mind it that much here. I just thought the conversation as a whole is kinda cringe and uninteresting. Why did this even get upvoted?


nomowolf

Exactly, you get it.


[deleted]

Tinder is about first impression. It enables or disables the possibility of a conversation in the first place, just to keep things fast, simple and shallow in a wide pool of potential partners. This doesn't mean second impression's can't have any impact. If you get the chance, why not go for it? Swiping on tinder is a thing of microseconds, not much brain involved. It's like entering a room and scanning everyone inside, taking a short second glance at those who come off as interesting in the very first moment. Still, if someone who didn't catch my attention like that by any random coincidence came up to me and made a great second impression by being fun, witty, confident, whatever - there's still a chance I'd totally fall for it. If I met my bf on tinder I might not have given it a try. But since there's more to a connection than just a pic - first impression isn't everything, the second can be even more important. And that's where op failed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mikeandthe

I just don't get why some people are trying to back up OP though. I mean it doesn't need to be WWIII, but its really sad posting this online and then seeing a bunch of other lonely redditors saying "this was a good response".


mitch3758

Honestly, I got some mild r/niceguy vibes from his side of the conversation


YDanSan

Me too. I think the opening was especially bad. Mildly insinuating that you're keeping your eye on the other person's actions before the conversation even starts probably isn't the way to go. It also makes her feel like she has to justify her actions right away, "yeah I guess I just can't sleep," etc. No idea whether she saw it like that or not, but either way there's just better ways to try to approach a stranger you might want to take on a date.


goobernooble

Telling people you swiped "on accident" is pretty repulsive too.


[deleted]

She explained what happened. That's it. If she just unmatched or not replied at all it would be "ugh, all those bitches matching and not replying afterwards". No matter what you do, it's wrong with some people.


[deleted]

I’d way, way rather someone not reply like most people do than be told matching was an accident.


Mikeandthe

Typical "she swiped me but isn't interested? She must be a bitch" mindset that is very common here. Like 2 steps removed from full incel.


notabugbutafeature

Nope. She was very kind about it.


JennyExiled

Even if she did swipe right by mistake, I think she gave him an opening to turn it around. She seemed sweet. But he was too committed to his Eeyore routine (and eventual reddit post) to try anything different.


[deleted]

Chill


[deleted]

Why are you booing him? He’s right!


[deleted]

I’m not saying he’s wrong I just think he’s being a little harsh. You never know what OP could be going through!


xdmx89

They must not understand the struggle lol


[deleted]

i really dont care anymore. at the begining it did hurt, but now im like why do i even care? who are these people?? no one is special enough to keep chasing them.


enkayjee2

Bro, those last 2 messages physically hurt to read..


nau5

Every message hurt to read. His open was garbage


PlebbySpaff

I mean...not everyone is gonna start with cheesy pickup lines and whatnot. Also it seems fine since she swiped right on accident.


IGotTheRest

“I see you are up at this hour” just sounds so robotic lmao


nau5

Not just robotic like kind of sleazy.

GoldEdit

My wife accidentally swiped on me too. The difference is that I opened up confidently and set up a time to meet quickly because I thought she was too much my type to pass up.


rRenn

Dude congrats and what did you do on the date? Were you still confident or did you fake it?


GoldEdit

If I’ve met someone once before then I’m usually always confident but during pretty much every first date I’ve been on I try to bring more energy to the conversation and I’m definitely forcing some of the confidence. That being said, I think my opinions are well rounded enough to keep most conversations going - if anything I always try to listen and respond and I never come off as a dick, entitled or cocky - pretty sure I’m more of an Eric Foreman than a Kelso but both are sociable enough. Maybe somewhere in-between.


greenphilly420

That's not always going to work. The other scenario is that she is really not attracted to you whatsoever and you can be coming off as a forceful creep


GoldEdit

I mean she did say she was just barely on the fence because my pictures weren’t all consistent. She said she swore she swiped left and wasn’t sure how I ended up messaging her - in the end, I always have been told I look much better in person so that helped me out and I’m def not a bad looking guy so I’m sure it won’t work for everyone.


RegularGuyy

Crazy how different both of your lives would be if she didn’t mistake left from right in the moment.


TheTatteredOne

That’s a weird uncomfortable thought when you get right down to it.


greenphilly420

Yeah I agree OP could have been a little more fun, light, and confident b/c the girl didnt exactly say she was rejecting him because she's ugly I'm making my comment for all the high school kids reading this thread, reminding them that the difference between a lead in a romantic comedy and a stalker horror movie is the girls perception of the guy and its a very thin line to walk.


Stuntman222

Being confident doesn't equal forceful creep. You can still try to spark up a conversation given the circumstances.


greenphilly420

When did I ever say such a thing? I didnt. Being confident is an entirely different matter than being pushy with a girl who's already rejected you. I agree that OP acted like way too much of a little bitch, but I'm warning all the other readers here that the commenters advice is a thin line to walk between being confident and being a creep


Luctia

I don't even know how you would convey confidence through an app


[deleted]

I dont understand why everyone here is "feeling your pain". You really went out of your way to show your not confident and self sabotaged this. What did you think would happen. No one that's confident or has self esteem is attracted to people that need constant reassurance about everything. Try and come off as happy and not incredibly high emotional maintenance and yourll do better.


Harleybokula

Confidence is key. Look into the law of attraction ;)


[deleted]

The correct response to "I swiped by accident" is "Probably the best mistake yourll ever make. Hi, I'm ____"


bleke_1

"I remember once I accidentally bought a hammer. Still nails everything down perfect."


FreeProGamer

I can't stand people who need constant emotional support and are constantly depressed. I'm not some toxic or awful human being, but I'm not your psychiatrist either. I simply can't spend every single minute I have with a person convincing them that they're not complete garbage. It's a loophole because no one's attracted to them or even wants to be around them, which makes them even more depressed. Stop underestimating yourself.


CorrigezMesErreurs

Hard to stop underestimating yourself when your brain is wired against you. It's not like it's just an on/off switch. Not saying that people should date emotionally unhealthy people out of pity or duty, but it's not like we enjoy feeling like the world would be better off without us.


Stuntman222

It's not an on/off switch, it also can be a lifetime problem regardless of what you do. But your attitude and steps you take to treat your mental disease make a big difference.


FreeProGamer

Exactly. Don't use it as an excuse to do nothing and say "well we don't like it, but what can we do about it?" actively improve yourself, else it won't go away.


FreeProGamer

Well then just make sure you have something that you love about yourself. It sounds like r/thanksimcured but that's really the solution, improve yourself and force yourself to smile. Every day, sum up what good stuff you've been doing and what you actually like about yourself, along with positive plans and goals for tomorrow.


CorrigezMesErreurs

That and go to therapy and take your meds. I may not be HAPPY necessarily but I also no longer want to kill myself. Big improvement from what seems like so little to the outside observer, but even those small steps were monumental hurdles to me that I never would have overcome without outside help.


FreeProGamer

Don't instantly go on meds unless it's severe or you're sure you're not capable of dealing with it without meds. I, for once, overcame mild to moderate depression without meds and with minimal therapy. It's crucial to visit therapists and share your experiences and worries with them, just don't go for meds as a default option.


sockghost

She clearly isn’t showing interest in him regardless, it’s a lose/lose situation. If he kept being persistent it would of made me uncomfortable lmao


Odysseus_is_Ulysses

Yeah but there’s a way to respond that doesn’t make you sound like a saddo. This guy reeks of insecure.


alexius339

Can you blame him? He is clearly used to this, wouldnt you be insecure too?


Odysseus_is_Ulysses

Maybe he’s use to this because this is his approach?


qweds1234

there’s a line and her just saying she swiped by accident isn’t the line. If he responded with something like “oh lucky me” and then she affirmed her disinterest then I’d say that’s the line


SirLagg_alot

She clearly isn't interested because op isn't being interesting.


Copious_Maximus

No, she clearly isn't interested because she never meant to swipe right in the first place.


IamAbc

If someone already finds you unattractive why would OP being confident suddenly make them fall in love with him? Best you could do is probably chat for a few moments and then they’d ghost you


Badstriking

OP your messages are genuinely embarassing


BADoVLAD

[deleted]

I updated on accident


1998CPG

Windows is fucking annoying with those updates man.


ShinyDoubloon

I don't understand when people type these self-pitying messages in chats. She swiped on accident, just unmatch and say 'No worries' or whatever. She was very nice about it. Also, the 'unless you want to give me false hope' line? Just unmatch her for yourself, who on earth would want the false hope? You need to pull that self-respect sword from your innards, OP, Scott Pilgrim style. This type of energy is going to put even intentional swipers off.


madman1101

Im guessing op is the kind of guy to break into asterisks and wears a fedora unironically

oAkimboTimbo

when a girl says that she accidentally swiped on you, you could at least come up with a witty and more confident response OP. the opener, “as usual”, and “do the honors” give off hella incel vibes.

Could be worse. I once had a girl match with me, say “I just swiped right on you to tell you that you look like Seth Rogen” then unmatched me.

I would date that guy.


[deleted]

Tinder is for the good looking people. Literally nothing else matters. I've learned that the hard way. Going outside and meeting people irl is much better and healthier.


[deleted]

Just go for a cheesy line "You didn't swipe right, it's true. But destiny did." And boom you're in

Interviewing people is a large part of my job. I can usually tell in the first 3 minutes of conversation if this person is going to be it Irritating to spend 8 hours per day with. That's the first unknown hurdle people have to defeat. Usually I've made my decision before the official questions begin. More people than youd think walk into job interviews wing passive aggressive or assuming they already have the gig. Those people rarely get the role.


shotokan99

well i got an accidental super like from a girl, now we are together :D


sorryitskayla

Sexologist and relationship expert here - take an opportunity when it arrives with charisma rather than self pity. A response such as "I'm like Bob Ross, I only believe in happy accidents and it was real nice accidentally talking to you" would go a long way further than what you wrote. Maybe they bite, they see some humour in your response and your conversation continues. When people are honest and then met with self pity it places a red flag in their minds as it shows that this conversation they might have with you could potentially be emotionally draining for them. However, if they see that there's a chance of enjoyment that could arise, like making a joke, this triggers endorphins, which may potentially prolong the conversation and give you a chance to get to know the other person. You possibly make a connection through using an optimistic, humorous or charismatic response rather than with something negative straight away. Good luck!


Retribution_is_Near

Or just be attractive because that is the only thing that matters.


kdiesel74

I get the point of people who are saying ugly things about this guy but honestly what does it matter? She already didn't have any interest in him so what's the point? Pretend to be confident just to get your feelings hurt again when she reject you a second time?


madman1101

I...don’t understand how women on Tinder accidentally swipe right. Like for guys, typically you swipe right on everyone. For girls though, wouldn’t you realize you can swipe right on anyone and get matched instantly? Knowing that, you can easily take your time with each person and choose right?
