(personal) dating is a struggle sometimes

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I turned preferences for dating women back on on hinge because I’m so close to never talking to a man again
If one more dude tells me I have blue eyes or says he wants someone who’s into ethical non-monogamy but that he’s testing it out & it’s clear his partner doesn’t know... I will scream.


✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
these are very different things but

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I’m just having a moment

Lucy
oof i feel that

I changed one of my answers on Hinge to “I didn’t know I had blue eyes until I joined this app 🙃” and every dude has thought I was serious

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
Bless every woman who has thought it was funny

Lucy
LMFAO

Lucy
i mean as annoying as it is sorry

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I mean it is funny

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
But like “you have such beautiful blue eyes!” or “wow your eyes are so blue” is... not original 😂

Lucy
yeah that's just

Lucy
oy

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
and my first photos are selfies so like

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I can see

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I added in that mirrors were a mystery to me so hopefully one of these dudes gets it.

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I will change it something not frustrated soon but 🙃

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
Dating is such a struggle!!!

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I just.... people 🙃

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
People -_-

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
But also I am amused by your answers, I'd laugh at that

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
if I saw that on someone's profile

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
even though the source of it is very annoying

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I am just bewildered at how many people think I have actually not known my eye color or used a mirror before

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
Lol thank u 🥺

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
in general, I think cis straight dudes just don't know how to compliment people, or flirt, and especially on apps tend to be driven by physical features

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
And eyes seem like a good starting point/safe to comment on (vs lips or boobs or your body in general)

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
And they don't think about what they're saying or how it comes across, so you end up with... that.

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I just wish... it wasn’t like “wow your eyes are so blue!” 😭 it’s not even an effort

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
But I don’t think you’re wrong

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
It's really, really not. especially when you have other things to work with in a hinge profile, or can even just. make a comparison to blues?

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
like wow your eyes are as blue as the summer sky I remember as a kid, which is at least a little effort

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
dating men is frustrating, I'm sorry : (

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I have two truths and a lie on there, other interests

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
I’m just

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
(also the ethical non-monogamy thing is... even with women it is really tricky and I am not comfortable with how many people have that down)

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
Tired of men


ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
I very much feel this

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
And I think it can work and is a legitimate thing but normally on dating app it’s a dude looking to cheat & with women... I have noticed those are people who want a third for their marriage 😭

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
I've come across two people so far who I do believe genuinely practice it and trust them (one is demisexual and her husband is not so they have worked stuff out between them and the other one is not looking for romance, just hook ups) and I know it's not a bad thing

ᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜᴄʜᴜ
I'm just leery of how many people seem to use it as an excuse to cheat

✩ 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴.
yeah, I am leery too!
