Before I started dating exclusively women I was on these for hookups with men and it was AWFUL. I ended up getting sexually assaulted more than once and they did nothing. I was told to take better precautions and then banned from Tinder bc I "verbally assaulted" a man who assaulted me and kept making accounts to harass me with. (He kept swiping on me with different accounts and I finally swiped on him and let him have it. Banned the next day.)

I can't believe the dating apps would think that is a good way to treat women. What a dumpsterfire. It would be absolutely in these apps best interest to make women feel comfortable and believe women who say they're being harassed by men. And have zero tolerance for abusive men. It's shocking how lax they are being (and in addition them punishing women who get sick of men's harassment). Absolutely ridiculous.

Buh so many poor poor wonely men are so sad and wonely because those stuckup b*tches with sky-high standards won't swipe right on them π₯Ί Can we plz think of the poor wonely men and focus on gaslighting women and pressuring them into giving these creeps a chance? Men have to be pushy creeps to get together with women, that's what my (male ofc) dating coach taught me. I just wish women would stop GeNeRaLiSiNg poor poor men as bad and dangerozs on these dating apps and give us a chance instead of persecuting and creep-shaming us π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί
