I know I've complained about this before, but I feel the need to vent again.
I've mentioned how I've been quite aggravated over my horrendous response rate on dating sites/apps. And it doesn't matter which one I use, the results are similar throughout. My response rate is like 1 per 100. As you can imagine, it's quite frustrating, especially when I don't think I'm that bad looking. Sure, I ain't no model, nor have I claimed to be, but I'm solidly between 7-8. So you would think I'd ad least get responses higher than goddamned 1%.
But that would just be me bitching about stuff that's not new. What IS new, and kind of adds to the frustration, is that I have a co-worker, who looks roughly the same as me. We have roughly the same height, facial features and build, though he's got slightly more muscle (though also slightly more fat). Honestly speaking, between me and him, I'd give him the edge in terms of overall looks (keepin' it real here). But again...it's JUST an edge. We're not talking a night and day difference. Yet apparently he gets
dozens of responses per day. Responses where he claims he's not interested in 90% of them. Which, okay fine, you're not into them, no problem. But I don't get responses even from women I have no interest in! Sometimes I'll even message fat, unattractive chicks JUST to see if I'll get a response, which insultingly enough, doesn't happen either.
Ive tried different things throughout the years. Better pictures, more in depth profiles, claiming I'm into exciting shit like skydiving even though I'm not. Since 2012 when I started online dating, literally none of these things, either on their own or taken together have remotely effected my response rate.
What the hell gives?
