Family is in town and my brother and I were talking about dating things last night (he's 30). Wondering if we should start asking for credit scores and paystubs as acceptance criteria.
Do it. For real. We talked about dis.

I don't have too many bad tinder stories.. mostly funny ones. Only bad one was a crazy chick that I met where we went out twice, hooked up the second time, then the next day when I didn't talk to her at all (was busy at work and then went to a concert right after with a buddy) I got a bunch of texts with her freaking out about me not hitting her up, asking if we were breaking up ( :dafuq: ) , what I saw us as, blah, blah, blah. I had been interested in seeing her again, but after that night I :nope: out and haven't spoken to her since.

Funny tinder story (although now I just remembered a weird twist at the end): Started chatting with a gal on there who also had a dog, we decided to meet up that night after I was off of work for a happy hour. Just run home, grab the pup, head to the bar. She was cool enough in person, conversation flowed well, 4/7 date. As we're leaving, she asks about hanging out more and just heading back to my place with me. That happens, we drink some more wine, watch some netflix, then head to my room for adult time. Pups get shut outside of my bedroom, we start doing our thing, and she's loud. Like pornstar-loud. Like I-faked-an-orgasm-a-few-minutes-in-becuase-it-was-so-annoying-loud. According to my roommates, our dogs had just been chilling in the living room playing together at first, but then when she got loud, her pup rushed to my door and just sat there crying the whole time.. "it sounded like you were murdering her, and her dog obviously thought so too.." :lolol:

Weird twist: she asked to stayed the night and I agreed. When I woke up the next morning, she was already awake, just doing stuff on her phone. Asked her how she slept.. "oh, I work nights (ER nurse) so I didn't sleep. You're really cute when you sleep though, it was a nice little private show for me" :dafuq: She wanted to hang again after that, but I had to :nope: out of that too.

Caveat: me lacking patience is a known quantity.

I am already kind of meh on this shit.

Tinder match 1: she's boring and far away, the conversation just died. Sorry, not sorry.
Tinder match 2: we had ~20 back and forth messages over a few hours, she indicates that she likes to meet IRL and see if we vibe rather than text too much; I let 2 more back and forth messages pass because there was convo relevant stuff ongoing and ask if she wants to grab a drink this week. Responses stopped. Meh.

League. Six matches. I messaged them all with something short that included some kind of non yes/no question to spark some reply. Only one replied, but the one I matched with an hour ago gets a pass for now.

This seems worse than drinking at a bar because there I'll at least care a little less about the wasted time.

I don't view it too much as wasting time, but if you do, only send message/swipe while at work or shitting or something.

The lower time commitment is what I liked about Tinder over other dating apps. Getting laid via bar was certainly lower effort than any dating app for me :doe: .

The chicks are going to be flaky often, but the bar scene ones will be too. Welcome to the age of dating where everyone feels like they have 50 options at any given time. It's easier than ever to meet people, but that does have certain disadvantages.

I Tindered and used dating sites a ton when I lived in Hawaii for 6 months and when I returned to NY. I met a few good ladies, but most of the chicks had some issues. Going back to what D Griff said above, I met a girl I will marry eventually from Coffee Meets Bagel dating app after sorting through various apps.

The weirdest chick believed the government labeled her as an ecoterrorist and was spying on her. At one point her phone rang and had some glitchy stuff happened, and she tried to convince me that it was the government spying on her. Like come on gurlllll, the government doesn't give a shit about you trying to save a few trees. This girl also had pics up of her before gaining a solid 30-40 pounds that I quickly saw upon meeting her. She was BATSHIT crazy.

:lolol:

but prob a :notbad: idea....
The FICO score is unquestionably a fucking fantastic idea. The "1040 test" is pretty toolish. You can like your job and not make a ton, as long as it's interesting, fulfilling, and hopefully has some indicia of intelligence. A super low FICO is 98% of the time indicia of bad things to come.

I figured unless I can meet a match IRL and either verify she looks like her photos or provide a hilarious story on how she looks nothing like her photos it wouldn't be worth it.

Good call. I'll wait until you actually knock out a few dates then.
