If you're a man who dates women, I thoroughly recommend reading this! (I mean, I recommend it regardless, tbh, because I think @girlonthenet is incredibly insightful about common current gendered dating dynamics.)

I've been on Meetic first and then on Tinder.

My privilege, as a man, is that I'm not exposed to threats, I never felt endangered, while a woman also have to cope with that.

This being said, I think that whoever uses dating apps can tell stories about how ridiculously (to say the least) people behave over there.

Dating apps are the place to be if you really want to have a look at humankind from the inside, and most of time that's disheartening.

I could tell you about many women I met on dating apps that (in my opinion) should be sent to a crash course on manners.

Everyone has their own cross to bear... ๐Ÿ™‚

@max I'm not sure what you're aiming to add to the conversation here? Because it feels like you're just saying ''men have it hard dating too', which neither I nor GOTN would deny โ€“ but does suggest you don't quite understand what GOTN is exploring in this post.

@max yeah agreed. Max, I deliberately spent a few paragraphs at the start of my post outlining how I behave and try to approach things. Specifically to try and head off comments like this. Dating is hard for everyone, and I spend quite a lot of my time reaching out and being understanding to men about problems they face too. So your point feels defensive at best.

I just wanted to say that: dating is difficult for everybody.

Even if your post is not about how difficult is dating for you, in what I read I could also find the description of some difficult passages in your dating experience and I was just expressing my solidarity for that.

I didn't mean to say "come on, stop complaining we're all into that" it was like "I know it's not easy being nice and polite, I've also the same troubles, keep it up".
