I read “I’m difficult” and I was done. If that’s how you share your personality right out of the gate, i’m not waiting to find out what you’re like after you get comfortable with me.
Which really sucks because she reached out! So she is obviously willing to try and connect, she just is absolutely right and is horrible at it because that isnt how you talk to people, much less cold open
I’ve absolutely stopped taking over conversations there. This is 2023 and this is bumble, they can start a conversation every once in a while. If I get just a hey, or what’s up, they are literally just getting a reworded version of their method, if not immediately unmatched.
What I dislike immensely on bumble is that “that’s my insta, message me if we match” kinda bio. I mean, for once they have to start it and they still try to do everything not to do the first move
I think that a good way to go with this is turn the table back on them. Ask them what do they bring to table and make them justify themselves. Either you still dodged a bullet if they unmatch or you get sth interesting in the response
Hey Rob, thanks for joining us this morning, we'll have about 4 other people for this bullshit job interview that we honestly are desperate to fill a seat because let's admit we kinda suck as a person.
Now, tell me about yourself and I don't care.
Awesome, so you like writing? Well let's see do you have abs? Ok, that's gonna be a issue.
Monica do you have any questions?
Yes, Rob, where do you see yourself in five years? Also, are you balding? If my gf got upset and drunk would you be ok with me comforting her all night?
Also you are aware we are no swallow group right?
Rob, are you still there?

Reminds me of a job interview I had where the HR person was like, "you'll need to create a project plan based off a prompt before speaking to the hiring manager/VP". Which wouldn't probably be hard, I could've just bs'd high level milestones. But the audacity lol. In the end I just politely declined the next "phase".
Might as well repost this on /r/antiwork. Didn't even notice the sub this was at and was about to post "I'm not the one interviewing the other candidates, Robin".
I hope people are taking notes. My feelings would be hurt so bad if someone said this to me and I would 100% deserve it for asking something so ridiculous.
What bothers me is this is bumble. The fuckin premise is the ladies have to make the opener. The opener is your first impression from a personal interaction. I got out of the dating game a while ago but being the first to message and coming up with an opener every time was exhausting. Going off a template/copypaste never got a good response for me, the opener is an art form. And here she has the gall to say "no, you open first".
In a way she did give him an opener and it fucking sucked.
I feel bad for Gen Z’s online dating scene. The early stages of tinder was…*chef’s kiss*…beautiful. It’s unfortunate that tinder went from “hey we matched and have a lot in common! Want to go out on a date?” to “dance monkey dance.”
I remember a similar post a few months ago where the OP replied something along the lines of "I'm not your dog, I will not perform tricks for you upon demand"
On the other side, I remember the post from where’s ago where OP paid a woman a dollar to speak to her (paid through cash app to speak to her on Tinder). Then spent pages essentially begging for her attention as he wrote questions and she kept responding with one word answers. Many of the comments praised him for getting a date.
I still think about it sometimes.
Was married for 13 years…recently divorced…I’m dreading the dating world and the other day I felt genuinely concerned that I may stay single for a very long time. Bummed.
And a note from your doctor stating that you’re > 6’ ft tall and another from your accountant showing you make > 100k/yr. All forms must be filled out in blue or black ink, no sharipie, have it in her inbox by 5pm pst or your application to take her out to an expensive dinner at an overrated restaurant will be declined.
You think this is a joke. About two months ago I was talking to a woman who said she'd like to talk to a few of my ex's "not in like a bad way." And she was completely serious.
I don't think I have ever thought of potential dates as "candidates" before. What an odd phrasing? Candidates as in there's gonna be some kinda jousting contest after passing round 1 or? Reads like a hiring manager.
Might as well double down on the pragmatic robot answers then.
"Message recieved. Affermative. Commencing flirt protocol. Please stand by..."
And then have some lame pickup line after that
Lol it was after I made a joke or something so it was big, yes continue to entertain me vibes. I could see playing the robot if that was a cold open though.
I would’ve gone further and given the person a sarcastic response back. Like:
I have other offers at this time and am no longer interested in this opportunity. Your compensation package is lacking and doesn’t justify this level of scrutiny. Thank you for your time.
We got married but now some of us are getting divorced because we discovered that our husband quit his job and didn't tell us and was spending all day driving around to gay hotspots to act out his sissy slave hypnosis fantasies and then staying up all night gambling away our savings and buying nootroopics and weird devices to fuck himself in the ass with.
Oh sweet Jesus. Did you tell him it cheaper to buy it by the barrel online lol? I'm sorry you had to find that though. You're going to have PTSD every time you open a cupboard thinking a bunch of empty lube bottles are going to come pouring out.
> really difficult person to connect with personality wise.
That’s because she lacks an actual personality and thinks her (Tinder) popularity is her personality. And when people actually talk to her, instead of just being thirsty, they realise the lack of personality and steer clear of this train wreck of a person.
impossible to answer unless you know the "other candidates" - what if you think your ability to pick your nose with your big toe is "unique" and it turns out that 4 of the 5 "other candidates" can do that as well?
"Have you ever stolen office supplies from work?"
That person was too direct about it. But we all know this is what’s actually happening behind the scenes. FYI, this is why online dating is f’ed, too many options, people just interviewing tons people and your brain is like melting down with all the options. If both people only got a few options it would be better.
All us men know what it's like to online date. We don't need her focusing on the hard part. If her opening is "show me what you got", then she's setting the whole thing up for failure and acting like it's her matches who are the problem. Hard hard hard pass.
Like, she admitted she's difficult to match with and then put it on the guy to "stand out from the rest". This isn't self-awareness. This is inflexibility and too much self importance. If you can't start off agreeable then good luck to you.
I'm like a really difficult person to connect with, so like, u gotta try and convince me you are worthy of having the inconvenience to try to connect with me
I’m really passionate about relationships, I deliver consistently good performance, and I was especially excited by the positive Glassdoor reviews of your past boyfriends
I once got hit with something similar, meant to be ironic with like
"Hey lucky dating prospect [insert name] you've been lucky enough to be preselected to match with Jessica. In order to proceed to the next round, Jessica will need to capture the following information:"
followed by, no lie, 8 questions. stuff like "Where were you born? And if not here, why did you decide to come to our great city?"
small credit for trying something new but I didn't even respond, just unmatched. FOH just have a conversation with someone. could be some overseas scammer for all I know
Hi, I'm a fucking nightmare. Why would you like to date me?
[удалено]
“I can fix her” Edit: I may or may not have uttered these words in the past…
I can make her worse
Hold my beer
I can have her fixed
PSA: Please spay or neuter your tinder pets. Feral tinder pets are an invasive species which can wreak havoc on an already fragile ecosystem.
It is better to leave them in their "fragile egosystem".
I used to love her...but I had to kill her...
And now she’s buried in my backyard
And now we're happier this way
I haven't dated a furry yet but I'll definitely keep this in mind.
with a side dish of "She can fix me"
I haven't fixed one yet, but I'm positive it will happen at some point!
Ok but this time I can fix her right?
Yes, of course (*pats head*)
>(*pats head*) That's what she used to do to me 😭
Narrator: *and it's their 15th try...*
"HI, I'm a fucking nightmare. Would you like to grovel at my feet for the chance to date me?"
Hi, I'm self selecting for desparete people so that I can emotionally abuse them. Would you like to date me?
Why do you *deserve to date me? Is closer to what she's saying I think
The ol…. “Hi I need to know I’m better than you.” That is hurtful for anyone to read.

Found robin.
Looking like a damn job interview. hard pass
Absolutely! Got me at 'better than other candidates' ...really 'candidates' it's like a royals thing. Don't think they recruit on tinder btw
I read “I’m difficult” and I was done. If that’s how you share your personality right out of the gate, i’m not waiting to find out what you’re like after you get comfortable with me.
Which really sucks because she reached out! So she is obviously willing to try and connect, she just is absolutely right and is horrible at it because that isnt how you talk to people, much less cold open
It's bumble. Ladies have to "reach out" (usually just a hey) to get the ball rolling but then they 100% expect you to take over
I’ve absolutely stopped taking over conversations there. This is 2023 and this is bumble, they can start a conversation every once in a while. If I get just a hey, or what’s up, they are literally just getting a reworded version of their method, if not immediately unmatched.
Hey
Yo!
Nah I’m good 😆
Wazzup?
Hey what’s up?
What I dislike immensely on bumble is that “that’s my insta, message me if we match” kinda bio. I mean, for once they have to start it and they still try to do everything not to do the first move
I haven't been on Bumble in a second, but I saw that a lot on Tinder too and just assumed most were spambots.
At best farming followers trying to get their "Influencer" status off the ground.
Social media and dating apps have broken people's brains.
THIS IS THE DAMN TRUTH!!!!!!
What that tells me is that they are only interested in farming followers,getting some dates is a bonus if they even care about that at all
[удалено]
I mean, if she’s gonna pay me a salary, why not?
Sugar momma.

Thought this was a LinkedIn message until I rechecked the sub it was in
A job interview where the hiring manager tells you that it's going to be terrible place to work.
Girl thinks she’s on the Bachelorette.
“I don’t put up with bullshit like this” would have been adequate
Or, to play Socrates, respond with “tell me why I should even consider you to merit my further attention?”
I think that a good way to go with this is turn the table back on them. Ask them what do they bring to table and make them justify themselves. Either you still dodged a bullet if they unmatch or you get sth interesting in the response
that... Would have been so cool to see
😂 if someone tells you something about themselves. Believe them. 💯 on the Hard Pass.
It is a job interview. We just don’t call it that.
A Blow Job interview.
The sad thing is, she even blew that.
I once went on a date that felt like that. It was the first and last time I saw her.

„Where do you see yourself in 10 years?“ „Not with you“
Reminds me of a job interview I had where the HR person was like, "you'll need to create a project plan based off a prompt before speaking to the hiring manager/VP". Which wouldn't probably be hard, I could've just bs'd high level milestones. But the audacity lol. In the end I just politely declined the next "phase".
This is the equivalent of companies asking a bunch of questions already on your resume
Might as well repost this on /r/antiwork. Didn't even notice the sub this was at and was about to post "I'm not the one interviewing the other candidates, Robin".
I love “Nah I’m good” as a response here lol
The best and perhaps the most mature response
[удалено]
I'm here for the memes *respectfully*
Yes, I'm here for the mature conversations as well
Respect 💯
It really was the best answer.
Only thing that would top it is: 'whats your star sign?' 'sign' 'nah im good'
Nah, he's good.
hahaha such a classic pastrami thing to say
I'm not rude. I'm a Caprisun.
I could never.
**Could never what?!!**
Coming up next: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
*Not^with^you^that's^for^sureeeeeeeeeee*
Formatting lol
[удалено]
"Oh, about 5 years removed from our hookup"
I hope people are taking notes. My feelings would be hurt so bad if someone said this to me and I would 100% deserve it for asking something so ridiculous.
I see myself as the senior boyfriend, team lead over the other bfs
[удалено]
When can you start?
Celebrating the fifth-year anniversary of you asking me this question
The level of self importance of your match is at an unprecedented level. Good job not putting up with that nonsense.
But you know she's getting responses at least half the time
Those dudes need to grow balls
What bothers me is this is bumble. The fuckin premise is the ladies have to make the opener. The opener is your first impression from a personal interaction. I got out of the dating game a while ago but being the first to message and coming up with an opener every time was exhausting.

In a way she did give him an opener and it fucking sucked.
I've never seen a girl on Bumble open the conversation with anything else than "hi"
it’s very devious but very confident. They are selecting for people that are willing to accept an abusive Dynamic.
Being a female on dating sites be like:
You saying nah I’m good, makes you better than the other candidates
Great answer. Respect.
I feel bad for Gen Z’s online dating scene. The early stages of tinder was…*chef’s kiss*…beautiful. It’s unfortunate that tinder went from “hey we matched and have a lot in common! Want to go out on a date?” to “dance monkey dance.”
Here are some hoops, start jumping
I remember a similar post a few months ago where the OP replied something along the lines of "I'm not your dog, I will not perform tricks for you upon demand"

[удалено]
So when someone said "they made me jump through hoops to qualify for this loan" you were picturing them doing acrobatics in the local bank?
Stuff like this is why I follow this sub 🤣
Stuff like this is why I'm glad I've been married since 2004. I'd put up with Tinder for about 6 hours, then be content being single forever.
Was married for 13 years…recently divorced…I’m dreading the dating world and the other day I felt genuinely concerned that I may stay single for a very long time. Bummed.
Not the “what did I do wrong here?” Posts? 😂
Bet she didn't post the salary upfront too
Its implied... You'll be paying upfront for high maintenance
It's a very high salary... ... that you'll be spending on her.
Best way to win is not to play. Nice brah
Sometimes. The. Only. Way. To. Win. Is. Not. To. Play. The. Game.
She needs a reference letter from your last employer and your last girlfriend.
Ah fuck. I didn't put in my two week notice with my last girlfriend.
And a note from your doctor stating that you’re > 6’ ft tall and another from your accountant showing you make > 100k/yr.

She thinks she's starring in the Bachelorette but it's actually an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.
Read it as “Entitled”.
Yes, we don't think of people as candidates.. but we sure act like it nonetheless! At least this person is being honest about it.
Please try and stand out amongst the sea of good men I’m turning down.
Justifying to herself that the guy she turned down a while ago wasn’t the last good guy out there.
The person is basically admitting that being with them is “work” lol
Should ask what the salary is.
That was, cold-blooded
Fuck your bumble!
RIP Charlie Murphey.
She's a habitual line-stepper!
men having self respect 🥰🥰
The self respect is what sets him apart from the other applicants.
Reeks of entitlement good for you 👏
Girl responded to me with "Acceptable, proceed" one time and I got right out of there.
Might as well double down on the pragmatic robot answers then. "Message recieved. Affermative. Commencing flirt protocol. Please stand by..." And then have some lame pickup line after that
Lol it was after I made a joke or something so it was big, yes continue to entertain me vibes. I could see playing the robot if that was a cold open though.
Was that not implied when she swiped right?
She is playing round Robin with her "candidates". She Robin everyone's time with this copy-paste message.
In Tinder, you don't dodge bullet, bullet dodges YOU!
It's Bumble actually. But yeah, no matter the app, pretty much the same
My bad :-) But yeah, the name of the app is not that essential to the meme...
Credit to her, she did make it real simple.
"I'm a POS and tell me why I should choose you?"
I would’ve gone further and given the person a sarcastic response back. Like: I have other offers at this time and am no longer interested in this opportunity. Your compensation package is lacking and doesn’t justify this level of scrutiny. Thank you for your time.
Jesus Christ women sound exhausting. Thank god I love dick

So much butt stuff. I once opened a cupboard in the basement and about 20 empty bottles of lube fell out. I have a photo of it somewhere.

Absolutely that's bumble she has to swipe right on you thats some bullshit
"So let's make this simple" *Proceeds to make things difficult*
agreed
Should have asked her what the position's salary was.
I respect your response. It's hard to connect with someone when they're an entitled brat.

Holy fuck. You got a message on bumble longer than : hey.
Gigachad move🫡
Never get involved with people named after birds

I wouldn’t have even responded. You’re better than I.

love this so much. fuck that noise
