Its just a symptom of online dating. Its easy to have chemistry with someone when your imagination is filling in all the gaps. Plus its such a different medium to get to know people in a text based way first.
That makes sense, but it really sucks.
And what's with Ghosting? I'd think men in my age group would be mature enough to say "It was nice meeting you, but I don't feel we are a good match"
Chances are that I feel the same and if I don't, I'll get over it and move on fast enough.
Ok, rant over. Thanks for listening.3 -

It's common between men and women of all ages. It's just much easier to ghost. Apps have made dating the absolute worst because it places us in this disposable society. Sadly just something to get use to, the landscape of dating has changed a lot.
Good luck in your search though.5 -

When I lose a bunch of weight stuff always happens, new jobs, promotions, GFs. I've been mostly not at a healthy weight for the last 15 years.
On OKC I have had 0% luck!!! New pics, edit the profile, lots of messages, lots of like....nothing but crickets....weird the different experiences isn't it? I understand women get dozens of unappreciated responses, which is bad, I get zero responses, which is bad.1 -

I will not allow anyone to put peanut butter ON their jelly. It must be peanut butter first, then jelly on top. Everyone wanting to be in a relationship with me must agree to this in the pre-relationship agreement contract.2

Nah, jelly on one slice first, since jelly rinses off the knife more easily. Then PB on the other slice. lick the knife, put it in the sink, then smash the two pieces together.

Yeah when Durant left they started a dating service. Took off like you wouldn't believe. Think it was the acquisition of Paul George that helped them.1 -
But I'm not single....I have an amazing boyfriend who I love so much. He is my soulmate. But don't get me wrong! I had to go through a few to find the one.5
