Men don't see women as human, and as an object you have value in proportion to how high your "sexual market value" is. They resent women who they view as damaged and less attractive/fuckable, measured in a few ways; her age, her las history, her body weight, face+body structure, career, willingness to submit, etc. Basically they view older woman as trash items that hold very little value, so they're very entitled to their attention and get VERY angry and upset that a piece of trash would view them as lesser.

The way these men act is how they view women as a whole. They just hide their hatred for us when we have a high "sexual market value", and their egos are less hurt by rejection. It still happens though, but the fact it happens more to older women tells me that men view them as lesser.

And pretty much all the dating apps are owned by the same company that allows rapists to keep raping women. There should be a class action lawsuit

I think women get harassed on apps, not just the 35+ crowd

[–]wineandtreesFDS Newbie 45 points46 points47 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

It did mention though that under 35s are used to this behavior, and over 35s who are getting back into dating are finding it shocking. If they have the experience of dating pre-apps then they recognize it for what it is.

[–]PollyAnnaSunshine 19 points20 points21 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

You're right. Women across the board get harassed. But slightly older women might recognize it quicker. I'm 32 and remember a time when dating was still sweet and respectful. Even if the guy turned out LVM/NVM later, they did basic things like asking you for a day/place/time and didn't push for sex on or before the first date.

Tried dating apps briefly after my last breakup and felt exhausted, shocked, and disgusted trying to filter past all the obvious losers, predators, and guys who have decided that they're 38 and losing their hair so now it's time to find a wife. Call me cynical but I am happy to protect my energy and my psyche for activities and people who give me some return on investment.

[–]wineandtreesFDS Newbie 12 points13 points14 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I really wish I lived during a time where the harassment wasn’t considered normal. It sets women up to accept the worst behavior. I’ve never even actually had a man ask me on a proper date. Walking, hiking, coffee, etc, but never dinner in a nice place. Even my ex never took me on a real date. 😒The crap I used to tolerate...

[–]PollyAnnaSunshine 9 points10 points11 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm so sorry :( There are HVM out there and I am confident you will get to experience it!

It's sad to see how low effort guys are now. Even in college, date invitations were lunch or dinner at a cute place. Occasionally it was an invite to a party with dinner beforehand. My college ex was so broke he had holes in his shoes at one point, yet our first date was lunch out and he would save up money to take me to nice places for special occasions. He wasn't completely HV, but that was seen as normal.

I was honestly never asked out for a "drinks" date until age 25+. After discovering FDS, I realize that these invitations for drinks or coffee are a tell that a man is active on the online dating scene. Unless it's something creative like a wine tasting that includes tapas, I wouldn't accept a drinks date under any circumstances now.

I've been saying this for months. These apps exist TO SERVE MEN; men are the primary users of these apps. It's made them perverted and lazy.

They get a sort of "dial a woman" ( in their minds). They order a woman like they order pizza. They don't have to do anything but go, "Hey, wyd?"

Seriously, ladies, we need to raise our standards and exercise the patience to meet and date IRL. The LVM more readily weed themselves out when they can't hide behind a screen..

[–]ro0ibos2FDS Newbie 11 points12 points13 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It’s so easy for someone to misrepresent themselves on there or catfish. Tinder has a video call feature now and Bumble can verify profiles. Meanwhile, trying to meet new dates organically in person is very difficult, and can be unsafe depending on the setting. I think the dating apps are fine if used within reason. Take advantage of the video chatting features, it really saves a lot of time and aggravation.

I wish I could up vote this comment a million times.

Stop using these apps. Only trash men are on these apps. Leave them there.

[–]_queeeen_FDS Newbie 14 points15 points16 points 5 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

This post was the inspiration I needed to delete my (paused for several months) Tinder account. Another post a few days ago described it as a “free prostitute app” and that really made me think. It’s a terrible shame that men won’t respect us on these platforms. The few seemingly quality men I chatted with and had virtual dates with last winter from Tinder revealed a ton of red flags on the first (and last) call.

I’m still (probably naively) holding out hope that The League will have some HV matches. But even with that I’ve been disappointed by the volume of men with insufficient credentials. This is literally marketed as an elitist app. If we’re going to be elitist, I expect the app to push men on my level. But it’s been a whole lot of nothing, and cheap drinks dates invites. 🙃

I’m looking forward to meeting someone through more romantic, safer means: through friends, work, flirty eyes in a crowd.
