I have been using Tinder for a while now and its really getting to me at this point. Seems like nobody there has anything serious in mind, yet every other decent looking girl explicitly claims she is not there for hookups and is looking for a serious partner. Like, HELLO, right here! I get matches with women that I like and would definitely be looking forward to meeting with, even if its just for friendship in the beginning. But by the way the conversations are going with those girls it seems like I have everything to prove to the world while they can sit back and do nothing. Its like one needs to be a freaking comedian and jump through all sorts of hoops to win those "queens" over. What the hell? Barring accidental swipes, what is wrong with these women? Why is everyone so entitled? Is it just an ego boosting playground for these chicks? I got asked more than a few times - "So tell me a little about yourself". Dont get me wrong, there is nothing bad about trying to get to know someone, but its supposed to be a two way conversation. Why do women feel like they have an upper hand as interviewers?

Yup- that's the question right there. Of course, it's not everyone, but entitlement knows no gender when it comes to OLD.

Was your post title supposed to be sarcastic? It doesn't really go with the rest of what you wrote.

Dating is reciprocal. If they don't reciprocate, you move on till you find someone who does.

The men are annoying too. I had been talking to one guy who seemed cool since the beginning of January but I finally unmatched him as of yesterday because he seemed to be content with just chatting on Tinder forever. Yes, I could've suggested meeting but obviously it wasn't a priority to him. Then a few days ago, I matched with a guy who suggested meeting right away, which I felt was too fast since we've barely discussed anything. But whatever. Maybe I'll meet him and maybe I won't.

No, it doesn't go with what he wrote. But in my experience it is what it really is. People (sometimes just visitors to down), do some swiping, meet up with people and have fun. Nice and light, just meet, drinks, do an activity or something, nothing serious. Sometimes something serious comes from it of course, but it is used casually. Lots of people use it like a hot or not time killer as well.

I've been using it for a while, too. At least you're getting matches. I could go literally months before I get ONE match. Then I message her, and she never replies. But you're probably a lot more attractive than I am.

Well, I dont know about that. Sometimes I feel like a lot of them are not even real people. Either way, not worth the time or effort.

Tinder, shminder. Quit complaining. Get off the internet and get out.

Regarding you feeling like you're being interrogated, I just think it's difficult for women to want to meet men who they know nothing about. The conversations feel forced and awkward a lot of times because you don't even necessarily know what to ask.
