It's kind of nice when people reveal themselves to be insufferable douchebags at the outset rather than wasting your time.

her persistence indicates he is physically attractive

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

As my wife will tell you, there are benefits to being married to an insufferable douchebag. Chiefly, you can be pretty confident they won't play around on you, because no one else will have them.

white text on yellow background, that's infuriating

How do you read light yellow text on darker yellow background?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Once life has given you enough lemons, you become really good at discerning shades of yellow.

Is the text actually yellow or are colors bleeding due to the image compression?

If someone does not take the least amount of effort to answer a simple question like that one .... then he doesn't care about you in the slightest.

"But its a generic question!"

Two words: common courtesy.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (5 children)

People (guys usually) also answer like this when they are trying to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you'll sleep with them. They feel like if they give any wrong answer early on, they've lost their chance. It's a very manipulative mindset. He was like a deer in the headlights, not knowing if any answer he gave would be the right answer since he doesn't know her at all yet. So he stalls, hoping she'll drop it.

Or he might just be an idiot.

Either way, drop them and move on to somebody who will be real with you.

You don't want to date that guy, let the process work.

So glad I’m not going through this any more. I think I’d rather be single than do online dating again.

Bro doing "being mysterious" the wrong way

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Bro is being long term single if this is his game.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This is a red flag. It means he listens exclusively to Nickelback and Creed.

Almost as infuriating as giving chatGPT compilation errors and going in circles for a code fix

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 year ago (14 children)

I literally broke down into tears doing this one night. Was running something that would take hours to complete and noticed an issue at maybe 11pm. Tried to troubleshoot and could not for the life of me figured it out. Thought to myself, surely chatgpt can help me figure this out quickly. Fast forward to 3am, work night: "no, as stated several times prior, this will not resolve the issue, it causes it to X, Y, Z, when it should be A, B, C. Do you not understand the issue?"

"I apologize for any misunderstanding. You are correct, this will not cause the program to A, B, C. You should... Inserts the same response it's been giving me for several hours"

It was at that moment that I realized these large language models might not currently be as advanced as people make them out to be

This is so weird. The first response was somewhat acceptable if in a joking manner but then he quintuple downed.

Someone's insecure about his Shakira collection.

Seriously though, I'm guessing this guy either doesn't like music at all (I've known a few and they act like this) or got made fun of a lot for his music tastes in high school. It's a shame this guy is probably a walking insecurity.

Which is a great reason to unmatch him and move on.

I think with the horror show dating has become in general, people are becoming more and more afraid to be vulnerable in even the slightest perceived ways. 😞 There's a reason for the loneliness epidemic. Between mass narcissism and guttural fear of winding up with a person who will just use/abuse you, I'm shocked I haven't seen worse. 😐

If I have to pry answers out of someone, I'd rather cut my losses and move on.

Does this guy think he's cool or mysterious?

Kudos to you for demonstrating interest in getting to know whoever you cross on these platforms (a rarity these days...) 🙌🏽

I relate to your discomfort. I usually unmatch or block such vibes bc the point of these apps is to date, which implies getting to know each other. If one is unwilling to put in the work (as minimal as it may seem), just spare folx who are interested in the above.

So much has changed in the dating scene. Sometimes, I am asked why I am being nosy or psychoanalyzing them. 🙄 Dude, you're on a dating app, right?

P.S.: I respect boundaries, but such questions are essential in familiarizing oneself with someone.
