Do guys swipe right for every girl on dating apps?

My friend said she met her fiancé on a dating app so I decided I’d give it a try since its becoming increasingly apparent that I’m too socially inept and shy to build a proper love life.

I thoughtfully answer questions and consider profiles and get excited when someone seemingly compatible likes me back.

Still, sometimes I read the profiles of the people who have “accepted” me and we are so obviously incompatible it seems like they didn’t bother to look at my profile at all. Like one time a local guy liked me across two dating apps and I was thinking oh this must not be a fluke if he’s done it twice. So I waited for him to message me, thinking that maybe he didn’t want to be too forward. In the end I approached him first and then he unmatched us...?!?! And then another seemingly nice guy liked me on a dating app but when I read our compatibility profile it said he didn’t want to date outside his race and I was very obviously not his race...so why did he swipe right on me?

The only explanation can be is that it’s common practice for men to swipe right on every girl and see who will take them. I thought this was a joke when it was referenced to on TV but it seems like guys really do this. This is upsetting because it just seems fake, for lack of a better word. It takes a lot for people to put themselves out there. I was excited about meeting someone and I thought most of the games and unpleasantries could be avoided through these apps but it seems like that’s not the case.

Am I wrong?

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
