here's the trend:
1. Girl replies hi
2. Girl feels a (likely) instant sense of fear and distrust
3. Girl decides it is best not to communicate any further and the approach is ghosting
I'm thinking that if you're under 35 whereabouts - girls see Tinder as some kind of game, and guys take the thing for serious
Absolutely untrue.
Do I have to screenshot it for you?
You saying men are serious is directly opposite of my experience though. More women than men tend to want to actually date or find a relationship. More guys tend to look for casual flings. This is generally true. Doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions.

Long term does not suggest crazy. The fact that you think so makes me think you’re the crazy one.

Saying one wants something long term doesn’t mean they expect it instantly. You’re doing an awful lot of assuming. Anything before a relationship is just dating.

I would absolutely put long term relationship as my reason for being on the site, if that’s what I wanted.
You’d be amazed how that would be a deterrent for guys who aren’t there for the same reason. Weeds out the losers. 🥰3 -

I agree. Isn't putting down something like "casual" or "dating" (or whatever the term is) viewed as a euphemism for "I'm open to hookups"? Best to be honest about your end goal and not attract a bunch of people who are only looking for ONS.5 -

Where do you get your information?..... Ladies, this young man is on his own. He does not speak for my gender.11 -
I don't know why anyone would feel pressured to be the perfect man. It's a two way street, spend time with someone and if you both like each other you do it again till it either works or doesn't work. ONS must be a young guy thing, I'm in my 30's now and would rather find someone i can do fun *kitten* with.7

If I might put my two cents in here as well, long term also means different things to different people. My idea of a longer term relationship is 6 months to a year. Others it might be 1-2 years, and others might be longer.2
