Unmatched someone: I was talking about how the movie Avatar is a blatant allegory for native/indigenous populations and the person got offended that I would “put real life events into a movie about blue people”

Been unmatched: the person had a series of 4 almost identical selfies but each one had different anime boys edited in as if they were hanging out (amazing bit. Perfect joke) and my opening line was “i hate when people have only group photos. It makes it so difficult to tell when one I matched with”. I was called an idiot and unmatched within 5 minutes.

    A girl canceled a date once because I’m not on Facebook or anything else. (I asked her out in person).

    She combed through socials as a kind of background check and interpreted my absence as suspicious. Modern problems.

      What’s interesting is that both perspectives are valid. Of course she could have asked why you don’t have social media, and when you spout off about privacy and big tech then she would cancel for a different reason.

        Yeah this is legit a thing cheaters do apparently. I just don’t want patients finding my favorite cafe in my likes ok 😭 honestly sometimes my husband pisses me tf off but at least I’m not rummaging in the mystery grab bag anymore.

          Internet is a hostile enough place that not having a social media presence is a valid lifestyle. Like, I don’t want to be assumed as a cheater just cause I’m trying to preserve my sanity😭.
