D2- let me tell you from a woman’s perspective why I lose interest.... because most of the convos will be me trying to make a convo. For ex- “hey, hows your weekend going?” “Hi, good. You? (Note- The you may or may not happen) “oh mine is great. I just woke up and grabbing brunch. Hanging out with some friends today and getting ready for work tomorrow. Any fun plans?” “No.” at this point, i don’t respond back or he says “so what do you do?” “Oh I’m a Consultant working with my clients to help them optimize costs. What about yourself? (Usually try to tie back to his bio) “cool. I’m an accountant.”
NO DETAIL. MEN SPEAK WITH NO DETAIL. I WILL NOT KEEP ASKING YOU MORE AND MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO LEARN TO SHARE MORE THAN THE BARE MINIMUM. if you’re not putting an effort, I won’t. So I lose interest and stop responding.
Or the guys who respond once after every couple of days. THATS NOT HOW A CONVO WORKS. We aren’t getting anywhere if I only know about your weekend over the course of 5 days.
Lol @ A2. I appreciate the time you've put into typing that detailed example.
Male, 27 here. I have to say, I personally don't use the apps because I don't feel like it's a good way to get to know someone (for me at least). However, for what it's worth, I know a couple guy friends who have tried them and they say that the females are ridiculously difficult to converse with as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A2 and D3 finding love in a hopeless place
A2, agree with everything you said. I was just too lazy to type all that haha. And A3, i wasnt too fond of going on an app either but honestly no other way since i never meet ppl apart from work anymore
Is there a solution to these woes? We should brainstorm and get together and come up with a more effective way. Even if it is for connecting people within consulting.
OP you have a burner?
I like this fishbowl minder idea
Haha yups, fishbowlburner001@gmail.com
If you’re open to dating non Muslims, coffee meets bagel is a good place to meet folks (I think there’s also a filter where you can select ‘only Muslims’). Most users are educated, decent and I’ve met great guys.
F as well, A1. I'm on those apps, but just constantly attempting to get to know people proves to be super difficult with my schedule =/
I need to join Accenture and KPMG.. Not many ladies in D Advisory..
And D2, to be fair i have lost interest in plenty pretty quick but that's either because I'm very busy with work and sometimes a convo just doesnt seem like it's goinf anywhere any time soon so id rather not put in the little time i have into that
It’s just frustrating af. 🙄 only way to demonstrate was with an example lol
24, Arab
@A2: I can totally relate to that because it felt like you just described me. Lol. I'm one of the talkative ones :)
On a serious note, anyone here have commitment issues? That’s probably the one thing I’m scared of..
A2 - amen to that. I prefer 2-3 month engagements. Keeps me from getting bored at work hahah. What kind of consulting do u do?
A2 - I’m in tech consulting, thankfully haven’t been doing much implementation tho. 7 months for a strategy project!? Sounds like a public sector project to me lol.
🙋🏽♀️ so tough, and the apps just don’t make it much easier. Honestly A2 literally nailed my experience with the lot of them.
Yup I can confirm haha, my first project at the D was a public sector tech implementation, absolutely hated it.
A2 - you got a burner? Let’s spare our fellow fish from all the notifications hahah.
