I think Lord Tennyson best describes what modern dating is like in "Charge of the Light Brigade". Be careful out there ladies and gentlemen, I'd rather go into battle than re-activate my Tinder account.
Our thread title has been suggested by the lovely @LaBlonde, but credit must be shared with our @Clementine who shared it originally in one of her posts.
Honourable mention to @Thank(space)you who shared the wise words: "A reheated cuppa never taste the same."

Dating after lockdown #27 Being on Tinder to find a man of value is like looking in the bin for a Rolex
once more unto the breach ladies (“the breach” in this scenario being online dating, obvs) thread title from our amazing mozz (@mozzarellagirl) with 11 votes, though an honourable mention to @EddyDarling and “all I want is a fancy hotel bar booze up and a dicking down” because, gosh, isn’t that...

A recap of some of the most-liked comments of the last thread:
- @Clickbait : If someone does something that you don’t like - says something that upsets you, leaves you on read for ages for no good reason, refuses to commit to a date or a second date, makes you feel uncomfortable/unattractive/awkward, triggers negative emotions or past experiences - particularly after you’ve only just started chatting or had one date then walk away! He could have a penis the size of the Blackpool Tower but he’s still not the right man for you. I wish women wouldn’t waste their time trying to make sense of why men behave the way they do. Sometimes the answer is simply because they are a massive bell end.
- @EddyDarling who keeps her ticks on when it comes to WhatsApp: I have mine switched on so people know I'm ignoring them because I'm a right bleep X
Swings and roundabouts innit loves - @Thank(space)you who summarized modern day dating with this experience: Was getting on well with a guy on tinder started chatting on WhatsApp and now it comes up in conversation he's a nazi sympathiser
doesn't think Hitler was a bad guy, all a conspiracy theory etc fml. - @jawidjanqndn who almost fell for this absolute charmer: The last hinge date I went on back in October he ended up getting arrested at the end of the night, got a text around 12 the next day from him saying he’d just got out the cell
- @xcyber who shared this lovely advice: Tbh you’ve been doing all the chasing. The best way to let him know you’re not interest and show you have standards is to not ever reply to him again. Silence is golden. Actions speak louder than words. And some other cliched yet accurate proverbs!
- @Lalla who shared this insight: Some men's egos are so incredibly fragile that any rejection is a massive slight, and in their warped mind entitles them to be rude and unpleasant in response.
- @Agent Cooper's win post-break up: Had the pleasure of bumping into my ex today. Not to blow my own trumpet or anything, but I’ve had a bit of a glow up since we broke up (both looks-wise and personality-wise) and he clearly hasn’t. I can’t say I was happy to see him looking a state, but now I am pretty sure our breakup, messy as it was, was for the better.
- @LaBlonde who shared some insight into her dating mindset: guys, men truly cannot win with me
matched with a guy yesterday, he messaged first, did a bit of small talk, sent me a really long message at lunch today which i didn’t have time to reply to and so thought: hey, i’ll do a proper response when i get home. get home to find two further messages: “how is your day going?” and then, two hours later, “how is your day going, okay?” and now i have the ick
me: why do men never message me?
man: messages
me: oh that’s too much messaging sorry. - @D2them who shared a man's profile that simply stated: If we match I'm probably w'@nking over you
- @Anne1448 who shared the following insight: I don't know why people think that being in a relationship or having a baby before 40 is an accomplishment. All of us could easily be in one by the end of the day. Being in a committed relationship with someone who respects you, values you and respects you is different. We all know married couples who can't stand each other and where the woman is not even getting the bare minimum. Self-respect comes with a price and if that price is being single, I'll happily take it.
