So like, what’s the rule on dating apps, males always have to like the woman’s picture first since it’s about the chase? I find it inappropriate to like a guy’s profile even tho I find him attractive.

I quit the dating apps about six months ago, but I’ll tell you; as a male, I would send tons of thoughtful, personal messages, with little or no response. Your first thought is probably , “oh, that’s because you’re ugly, Mr. Director”, but that’s not true, haha. I’m no male model, but am definitely a 7/8 who’s in shape with a well thought out profile (well, when I had one).

The dynamics of online dating have changed, and the best shot of actually sparking something up is if the female initiates, or at least puts some real thought into a reply.

I think we all have app and dating fatigue, if we’ve been single for a while. Switching something up could be the change that leads to a better result.

You can add that detail to your profile “I prefer the man to make the initial contract so if you’re interested you better message me”

I’ve heard several men say they wait for the woman to make contact because they hate rejection. By telling them your preference maybe they’ll reach out

I think they meant contact

Nothing wrong with going after something you want then let the chase begin

So…you’re just sitting back and hoping the ‘right’ guy finds you attractive and approachable enough to message you? Why not take a more active role in driving the outcomes you want?
