I'm a New York City-based Staff Writer who enjoys covering lifestyle, relationships, and women's content.

Context: "We matched on an app and then moved on to WhatsApp. The first message asking to meet was on a Sunday, the next on Monday, and then the final one FIVE WEEKS later. It made me SO ANGRY." 

Yes, chances are, you could have texted him back in the ~24-hour period. Even busy people check their phones. But, I don't fault you for not! I forget about messages/notifications all the time, especially when I'm busy! I'll respond in my head and think I actually sent a message. Or, I'll tell myself I'll respond later when I have more time to think. Sometimes it slips my mind! 

All of that "rationalizing" aside, you were under no obligation to respond right away, and he didn't have to be so RUDE! I'm not sure if he thought he was going to guilt you into begging for a second chance, but clearly that didn't work. His response is deterring. Why would you want to meet him now? I had a man on Hinge once get SO sassy with me (and send multiple attacking messages) when I didn't answer him for about 12 hours (three messages into our entire conversation), and it happened to be the day my dog died. So, yeah, I wasn't on Hinge a lot. It's scary how fast men can switch up, but it's better you saw those true colors before meeting him.

Finally, NONE of this matters at all because he clearly doesn't stick to his own "principles" since he hit you up five weeks later to see if you'd want to grab drinks. You dodged a bullet.

Context: "Can you explain this? Background info: The voice prompt is based on the meme where you say, 'I'm a 10, but...' and then fill in the blank with an annoying, embarrassing, or otherwise slight negative characteristic. This is the message he sent when he 'liked' my profile."

Context: "His profile says he's 6'2, so yes he's tall, but he's not exactly going to 'tower' over me at 5'7. But, he seemed really into feeling tall and making sure I knew it."

Context: "Gotta love a man pushing 40 who doesn't know what he's looking for yet, but is quick to complain about 'crazy' women."

Context: "It starts with the 'wyd hotyy,' and I know it seems to end, but I eventually responded with something simple. I don’t know why I decided to respond, but it’s not like he offended me in any way, so I gave him another chance to see if the language changed. Note to self: Not everyone deserves second chances. The responses were just too ridiculous for me and I can be a bit sarcastic, so I replied. The fact that HE REPLIED and continued with the same 'snack' comment again had me a bit baffled. Clearly his flirting game is just too strong for me, lol. The last one was just like...why?"

I'm also just wondering if this means he kisses on every first date, regardless of chemistry. Not all first dates are a good fit. Does he try to instigate a kiss, even if the vibes are off? Is it, like, his "thing" to make sure he kisses every person he takes out? I'm just curious about how this works! But bleegghhh, I hate this as a dating profile prompt.

Context: "The way this profile devolved was too much for me, LMFAO. Also, the photos were definitely fake. It's giving catfish." 

Context: "At least two of his photos noticeably used a filter." 

Context: "Things men put on their dating profiles 🙄."

I don't think women swiping on dating apps are overcome with relief when they read that Brad from Hoboken thinks "good sex" is the hallmark of a good relationship. Like okay...what else ya got? 

Context: "Profile didn't say anything about ethical non-monogamy or an open relationship. So, I don't know if she knows he's on the apps or not." 

Context: "When you exist with big boobs."
