I quit dating/male contact approx. 5 months ago. Amazing things happened in the meantime. Also I have been studying FDS religiously. Now I wanted to give OLD apps another shot with my newly developed FDS mindset because I am bored and I am spending entire day in my bed for health issues.

What I am looking for is very clear in my mind. I value and appreciate myself for a good 80% now. I am looking for someone with shared values, character traits and ethics so that we can first become friends, he shows more respect & love than my 80& and maaayyybe we become lovers one day. So, I am not in deprivation mindset which tells you to overlook redflags and frantically look for the closest match even if the closest means you are at level 10 he is at -7.

Anyways, here is what I saw on OLD with my FDS eyes:

1) Almost all of them are academically less excelled, less ambitious and less career-driven. A big no-no for me. Girl, if you have a PHD, you shouldn't give your attention to a struggling drug dealer disguised as an "artist".

2) Almost all of them are either unattractive and/or doesn't know how to groom, dress and take photo, which eventually makes them less attractive. I find it embarassing for a grown man in his late 20's or whatever to wear absolutely ridicilous clothes unmatching his compexion, having a haircut which makes him look uglier and taking a photo with dead fish eyes. Like, duuuude! You should've figured out by now how to pump yourself up. Also, the photos they take are ridicilously ugly. The guy himself is cute, but most of the time they do not smile or pose, so they look shit. Many of them put their orgasm face (ewww).

3) They are dead inside. Seriously. I ask them what they do besides work, the only answer I get is watching Netflix, cooking, listening to music& hanging out with friends. I ask them what their passion is and the answer is NOTHING. They don't read books. They don't have volunteer challanges like trying to learn an irrelevant language, musical instrument or self-development. They live in the comfort zone. The bar is in HELL. In average, out of 10 books sold, 8 are bought by women in average and this difference is evident in dating profiles too.

4) They are entitled AF. Omg how blind was I to not see that before?! They expect me to entertain them. They never ask questions. They expect me to impress them! OMG. I do the picking, you do the impressing dude! They do not have the capability and/or willingness to discover my interests, hobbies and passions. And then they complain about women on OLD not chatting with men. How can we keep a convo when you have nothing to say and not curious about me? When you are not informed on the subject? When you have nothing to add or unable to start a discussion besides complaining about women you could not fuck. Also, some of them are aggressively entitled to confuse a swipe right with written legal and unchangable sex consent.

5) Many make rape and murder jokes bc it's online dating platform. Like "no worries, I am not a murderer haha". What daaaa f? Is it supposed to be funny? One guy even joked about "looking for a girl to shoot porn" and then he told "LoL jk, I am looking for a nice quality girl to have fun with". I blocked and reported him immediately. I used to overlook such sill jokes. Now I see thru his shit.

6) Seriously, how was I used to do this?!

7) Many ask if you are up to casual sex. They complain that women don't do hookups but they are on a dating app so it's unfair. I tell em we cannot have a say on what a person does with his/her body. They get so embarassed. They try to explain frantically that's not what they meant. It'a fun to see them struggle. Then I unmatch them. LoL.

Result: It's not worth it. OLD guys are soulless.
