Ghosting

The biggest obstacle and beef I have with dating sites everywhere nowadays is that men ghost. Now I’m not singling men out because women do it too. I’m just saying men because that’s who I prefer to date but what’s with that? I have sooo many questions and examples as far as that goes. Such as someone matching with me and I match with them and then they disappear? Okay did you not look at my profile in the first place and then look at it when I finally matched with you? That’s just strange to me because I never match with someone UNLESS I’ve read their profile first.

Another example is when we match with each other and talk and then if I don’t get back to them right away then I’m deleted? Like you can’t wait until I reply?! That’s total BS man. Great online dating is a thing of the past. Everyone is suspicious of everyone else or people see someone better and go to them or people don’t even bother to read profiles anymore.

I don’t even date anymore because there’s no point. It doesn’t go anywhere fast nowadays. Lol. I don’t know how people are meeting each other anymore because it still happens all the time, I see it. It’s an enigma. confused dunno yawn

Just want to let everyone know that comments I find rude will be deleted. Kindness is free. Also my blog, my discretion.
It's best to stick to the real world when it comes to men..That;s my motto for me
It’s just funny because men complain that there’s no real women online and we complain that there’s no real men online and meanwhile we are overlooking one another!

Hi Edison. Thanks for the comment. My bad. That should’ve read dating goes nowhere, fast. Lol. Punctuation puts a lot of context on things. I apologize.
When you're establishing online communication rush is out of the question from my viewpoint. If I feel 'pressured' to respond 3 times a day my response rate quickly falls to 1, 1/3, 1/7 - take it easy, we're probably not going to be face to face for 6 months anyway! Perhaps that was an advantage of ship mail! There you could take weeks to compose thoughtful words. But the Skype or Wechat are much more demanding. When I last got married and email was barely underway, that was okay, but then it became daily international calls and it cost $1000 a month! Bring back email!
Don't forget that you only have to be lucky once! Don't give up.
I've been on CS for almost a year now, and have experienced the same things, so I agree with what you've said. I, too, have realized (and commented on it in one of my posts) that many men don't read my profile content BEFORE contacting me, then 'ghost' me shortly after, perhaps when they've read some/all of it and decided that I wasn't a match for them. I'm not sure how women's profiles are presented to men, but maybe it's pics only first and profile details after making contact?dunno

Anyhoo, I have the blogs, forums, poets' corner, etc to keep me company in the meantime...smile
"Personally, I read every single profile that I contact. ...

So do I, as I actually WANT to know something about the person BEFORE making contact or responding fully when he contacts me.
I wouldn't call that "ghosting"...
There has never been such thing as "great" online dating.
It is the luck of the beginner, easier satisfied and less bothered of where it might take them.
We kind of expect too much in advance.
Reading a profile don't always give you much but talking can reveal a lot quickly.
People don't ghost they just move on faster because there's no personal touch in online dating, one is easy to overcome.
No need to take it to heart, if the other one has decided there's no point communicating then there's no lose for you too.
Some people don't says anything "final" so they can leave the door open and come back later.
And it might be worth the delay, you know...
Ten of cups. Thanks for your insights. Geminis are opposites of me so it brings a fresh new perspective. I can take things too seriously when it’s not meant to be for example who can take a dating site seriously? You can’t really, duh.

Suzie, older men are definitely like fine wine. So what you said is definitely still relevant. 100% Lol. Everything you just mentioned a younger man does. Older men have just been enriched more and they aren’t afraid to tell me how it really is as opposed to younger ones. That’s the best way I know how to describe that.

With all that said I’m just not going to take dating sites too seriously. I can’t.
Imma not singling out men, but.."The biggest obstacle and beef I have with dating sites everywhere nowadays is that men ghost."
....
Wait.....what??! confused
...
But sadly not surprised.
^Sorry you’re confused. I explained it well enough.
If they delete, it's because they are angry and impatient..if they ghost, they are cowards, think of it as the trash removing itself, doing you a favour really.
