My brother asked me if this girl who messaged him is a bot. She asked to hookup, he asked where she is, she gave coordinates to his old office. lol Because all New Yorkers use longitude and latitude to tell Tinder matches where they are!
General rule: If you think someone is a bot, send a weird gif and watch for the inappropriate response.
They basically want your e-mail or phone number to sell off.
I like to think this is what's going through the heads of women on Bumble who match with me but never send a message. 🙃
Thanks. I'm barely literate on my phone, like i said. Prefer PCs so much.
You could always remedy this by using an android emulator like Nox on the PC - heck you could even record a macro of "swipe right".
There's also a Tinder Chrome plugin called Flamite. Lets you swipe and archives all your matches, generating individual webpages for each one that you can talk to them through or, if you ever restart your account, you could rematch with them easily. It also creepily retains the feature of showing you when they last logged in.
While I don't think it's fair to compare me with people who send disrespectful messages, I get your point.
My advice on that subject: don't FB message anyone you haven't spoken to yet unless you either both liked each other on a paying app (i.e. couldn't have a conversation) or you both spoke to each other but something happened that interrupted the conversation (like someone's phone broke or it was CMB where conversations expire) But generally it will go to the other folder, is seen as creepy by many and overall not worth the effort.
Try not to get hung up on anyone you find that you haven't started a conversation with though. It's easy to read a profile and think "OMG DREAM WOMAN" but you really don't know anything about the person. It's just a persona they put out there. Furthermore, they may not feel the same way about you and falling from a high like that hurts.
Also, my general rule is that if she hasn't logged in for at least two weeks, she likely isn't open to dating or actively looking so it's a long shot. Definitely not something to put stake into.
Question about match.com. If they say they dont pay and have an email to contact then on their summary, is it always a scam or is there a chance it can be real?
This was a workaround for paying sites from about 10 years ago. I feel like anyone doing that now is scamming. Like, if you don't want to pay, why would you give out your e-mail instead of joining a free site? You could probably look up their username or use google image search, punch in their pic and find their profile on a free-to-message site like PoF or OkCupid.
I think Match.com's reputation currently is that requiring payment means it's filtering out people who don't have disposable income. I know someone who hilariously used it to find herself a sugardaddy.
