I wonder if Miley Cyrus kicked off that "ahegao" thing, which, btw, I had never heard of or even seen on dating apps, so I'm not convinced that's it's widespread. That girl can't keep her tongue in her mouth for more than 30 seconds when there's a camera around. Amee, it's COMPLETELY acceptable to gush about your love of coffee in profiles! That's part of the picture of you.

@tc123 I was just about to post that before I read your post lol. zackamp I think my heart would leap out of my chest (in a good way) if I found out the guy I was talking to had a disability I didn't notice. That's very nice of you to say. 😀

I love that you stipulated that your heart would leap out of your chest "in a good way". Any variation towards the literal and I'd be forced to think you were being a touch dramatic. Does that mean throwing myself at the feet of the pwd and begging to be taken advantage of might be a touch dramatic ? I sure do hope not lol Most PWDs would likely think so, I'm afraid. The key would be to focus all of your enthusiasm on a single PWD who's rambunctious nature can match your own.

Perhaps it's an age thing but I've never used Tinder myself, although recently I have been thinking about it. In fact, just a couple of nights ago I got chatting to a couple of people I met in a bar (it was crowded and my friend and I ended up sharing a table with these two guys) and the subject of Tinder came up (I can't remember how!). What was interesting for me was that I wasn't sure if Tinder was just a photo based "thing" or whether you could also write a profile, which they confirmed you could (as has reading this thread). I was pleased with that as I'm the kind of person who would like to write something rather than just rely on looks...as handsome as I am !!! Anyway, a Tinder virgin I may be but I've used plenty of dating sites over the years with varying degrees of success and failure. In fact, I'm really going to show my age here but I remember magazines you could buy which were full of personal ads and if someone caught your eye you could write to them (you know, using a real pen and paper) at a PO Box number and if they liked you they would write back. That sounds so old fashioned now, like it was something from the 1920s, but it was only about 15 or so years ago. So, my disastrous dating tale comes from the magazine I have just mentioned. I exchanged a few letters with someone, swapped photographs (real ones on glossy paper!) and arranged to meet up. She worked for the regional utilities company (water/gas/electricity) and she told me that there were some special promotional tariffs available that only a few people were able to program into the system but she would do it for me (legitimately) and it would give me quite a good saving on my bills. Great. So anyway, we agreed to meet up but it became apparent that there wasn't really that much chemistry between us. I had told her about my disability in one of my letters and she said she was fine with that but I got the impression that wasn't the case. She talked about herself pretty much the whole time and hardly asked anything about me, so after about an hour or so we went our separate ways. But she agreed to sort out the tariff for me. A few weeks later I received my latest utility bill. It had doubled! I can't remember if she sent me a letter or phoned me (to be fair to her she did contact me to tell me this) but apparently when she went onto my account to put in the discount code she noticed an error whereby the company hadn't been invoicing me properly for the previous five years and I owed them hundreds! So she updated the system which then generated the massive bill! I ended up negotiating with the company who let me off some of it as it was their fault, but still...what a disastrous and expensive date that turned out to be! Wish me luck on Tinder if I take the plunge.

Oh this ...I love this thread :-) Quick reminder though guys, and I'm not the police or anything but please ... If you post a screen shot, or a picture of a chat or so could you please add a summary of sorts so the occularly incapable can follow along and laugh as well ? Thank you so much As for bad dating experiences ...hmm . A talk on Tinder comes to mind. her: Hey ....you have no head! me: ...eh? her: yeah! Your head! It isn't there! me: ok ...let's establish a few things here. My head isn't there on the picture, is that what you mean? her: yas, super wierd! (sorry, her Dutch spelling was terrible, I have to creatively paraphrase ) After a bit more of this rather inane back and forth, what appears to have happened is that my profile picture wasn't cropped properly and the filter ate part of my head. Well ...oops ...since Tinder was occupational therapy to keep me busy during meetings for the most part anyway due to a blind person and a photo-based dating app being a terible match, I didn't care all that much. I explained the whole blindness situation, got the standard declaration of inspiration to humanity and basically that's where that ended :-)

Thank you so much No worries, I got you ME: What area code is 705? Albania? HER: Close... Barrie lol HER: K I'm way wittier normally I'm just getting ready to go out ME: I feel you. I'm a typical guy with problematic multitasking abilities. Kissing a girl and using my hands on her body is a monumental undertaking for me. ME: It's a struggle, but I cope HER: Oh my! This is gonna be a challenge to talk to you. I'm gonna have to use my brain ME: *Brain exploding emoji* HER: What do you do for work? Where did you go to school? How tall are you? What's your SIN number? HER: Basic questions ME: I don't answer basic questions cuz I ain't a basic bitch HER: Fuuuuck I'm busy HER: Just do it HER: *Sends unsolicited nude pic* HER: I know you get asked this, but what happened so I can stop wondering? ME: When I was a teenager, I was in a gang and to get in, I had to stab a rival gang member. The guy ended up having a gun on him and he shot me in the stomach. The bullet went through my internal organs and hit my spine. (Disclaimer: I lied) HER: Fuuuuck HER: Can you drive? HER: How old are you? HER: My car is not working rn HER: Where do you live? HER: I want to meet

Sova... that is fucking hysterical lol But what Im wondering, is it normal to ask for someone's SIN there?? (I'm guessing that's similar to the Social Security Number in the US). That seems very odd lol

That seems very odd lol Tapping my nose like BINGO (Ours is Social Insurance Number) That’s just her idea of funny banter, playing on how people ask a stack of interview-style questions to get to know others on dating apps. She’s trying to be playful 🤗 The unsolicited nude, to me, when I got it, was the catalyst for what I knew was going to be a conversation that was going to give me a lot of entertainment. I’ve only posted a couple of screenshots of this conversation and to be straight up, the rest is even funnier. But I’m keeping that jewel close to my heart where only I can touch it.

I'm not gonna lie... you have me cracking up over here lol (first with the exchange between you too, and then your commentary on it 😂😂) I feel kind of bad for this judgement, but she just didn't really seem like a "witty banter" type, which is why I took her asking that question at face value. Well, shouldn't judge a book by its cover (or unsolicited nude) I guess lol

Hit or miss, I like girls who aren't afraid to be playful in their attempts at funny banter. It's cute, even when it's bad.

Actually I went back and reread the exchange, knowing what I know, and it definitely gave her responses a new "voice" lol. She's pretty funny 😂😂. I love her response to how you were injured. ..."Fuuuuck"....
