Tinder experiment | WTF

I recently said now much I hate online dating apps but after seeing some comments here I decided to give it a try. 1 week swiping and I matched with 5 girls (I'm a straight male BTW). I noticed a great majority are just putting their Instagram usernames to gain followers. Which tells me they sign up just to increase their popularity rather than seeking new connections. Ok here comes the weird part. I thought it was quite strange to have very few matches and they are not even very communicative, and that got to my nerve so I decided to check my competition and I turn my search to "men". After all, if I'm getting this awful experience it's most likely because there are hotter and more interesting guys out there right? well, not exactly that... 2 hours have past and I see the little tinder gold icon flashing with 43 men who swiped left plus 2 super like notifications WTF! Alright, if gay guys think I am attractive I'm pretty sure women think the same way? Why the hell am I not getting more matches? and why the hell I perceive men are trying harder to connect with other social beings? I also see the same effect at night clubs and bars. No kidding, I see women rejecting handsome guys all the time. Perhaps the "hard to play" script is going too far? Lol Please women of reddit, give me hope. I don't want to think men are turning gay because they got tired of women play this way.

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
