Girl I'm talking to (okcupid) just re-PM'd me after a fizzled out conversation last night (she was at work) and said she was going through my questions and was pleased with how I explained myself.

Good sign, yeah?

I haven't touched okc in a long time, but I read an article on my news ticker that you're now required to display your real name on it? How accurate is that?

First name only, and I don't really know how they're "checking" the validity of that -- I saw a chick who literally had her name as "Nope."

I used my first name because I didn't give AF, but there is definitely backlash.

no

she said it was too soon or whatever, i should have seen through it. but seriously everything was good until like a week ago and then it was like a switch flipped and suddenly it wasn't

we went to chicago a few weeks ago and had a really nice time, just exchanged christmas gifts, had been spending quality time together and then just like that she was over it

no, there's not another guy

FetLife is the Social Network for the BDSM, Fetish & Kinky Community. Like Facebook, but run by kinksters like you and me. We think it is more fun that way. Don't you?

Hmm

Hmm

It's worth trying out to see who's in your area, but fair warning, there is no way to filter down searches any more specific than by city.

So be prepared to filter through 600 "43 / M / Dom" profiles with dicks for profile pictures before actually finding a woman in your age range and role preference.

I did get a chick to sit on my face once through there, and I am currently working to meet up with another girl sometime after new years.

It takes time and will get frustrating (especially when you talk with someone who, for some god-forsaken reason, reacts negatively when you ask them a sex-related question on this fucking website, of all places)

If anybody hasn't seen it yet, there are articles being written about the shit OKCupid is pulling now:

https://www.engadget.com/2017/12/30/okcupids-real-name-push-isnt-sitting-well-with-users/

Pretty disappointed with how much the website has changed in literally a half-year. Glad to see there is some public pushback, although I don't think it'll lead to anything.

Yeah I checked out the reddit when I got back on okc a few weeks ago. It's like, all negative (and some fluff posts).

It's Tinder 2.0, is what I'm hearing, considering now that someone has to "like" you back in order to see your message.

Why do I feel so weird about having relationship stuff on my Facebook. Making our relationship "Facebook official " was a struggle. Accepting pictures where we're tagged together is also a struggle for me. It's not really about her, I'm just private on Facebook in general. I changed my profile picture for the first time last month after 4 years of the same picture. I haven't made a status update in years.

So when she tags me in pictures I tend to take some time before I accept the tag so it can be in my timeline. I just feel weird about showing off stuff like that.

Then I fucked up last week. Because I don't post in Facebook, things like pictures and the "in a relationship" update are at the top of my timeline feed. I felt so weird having it there for everyone to see. So what did I do? I hid the pictures and relationship status post from my timeline. It still says we're in a relationship, I just hid the post about it.

Well, she noticed this morning and is upset with me. Mainly because she thinks I'm trying to keep her private and hidden, or I'm embarrassed about her. And I understand why she'd think that.

The thing is, I've told her how I'm weird about social media in general and was trying to become better about things like that. If I was active in general but not with her, then she'd have a point. But that's not the deal.
But I guess me moving ahead and then erasing it like that just hurt.

I don't know why she thinks I'm keeping her hidden though. She's met my friends, meet co-worker, family knows about her (since they follow me on Facebook)

Who is it that she thinks I'm hiding her from?

How do I get past this

I hid them from my timeline is the thing. When you go to my profile, because I don't post shit, all you see is pictures of us where she tagged me, and the "in a relationship" status post.

I just felt weird that that's what you see when you go to my profile.

Hiding the tagged picture was stupid, I stand by hiding that "in a relationship status" shit though.

Sounds like you are embarrassed about her tbh. If you don't care about your social media, it shouldn't bother you if she tags you in stuff.

Muffinz0rz what happened with this bro

zDsFCDo

Nothing lmao what a mislead. I was hoping she was fishing for me to say "no" so she could say "oh let's celebrate together!" or something.

She still hasn't replied to my follow-up, but she hasn't been online since sending that message, so I'm not panicking just yet.

Also I met up with a girl from fetlife last night. We had been talking lightly, and suddenly out of left field at like 4PM yesterday she was like "hey let's movie night!"

Here's a tip -- as long as she's the one doing the posting and tagging, you can remain willfully ignorant about any pictures that are posted. As long as nothing says "Emblem Boy tagged himself in a photo," you can wash your hands of any unflattering photos that are up.

If someone comes up to you and says "that's a funny picture of you" or some shit, you can just say "oh I haven't seen it, I don't use my facebook, it was probably (girlfriend name)"

@billcom6 is bumble good?

It is basically exactly the same as tinder, the main difference being the girl has to message first and she only has 24 hours to do it or else the match disappears.

I guess compared to tinder there are less people on bumble and the girls on there seem to be a little more mature than on tinder.

Bumble's algorithm sucks. It doesn't filter out dead profiles, so the first several hundred profiles are all people who signed up, used it once, and deleted it.

It's a waste of time for a long time, but eventually you'll get to some live profiles. The problem is, they favor people who get swiped right on a lot. So it just constantly bumps hot women who got engaged two years ago and haven't been on bumble in three.

That said, I've gotten a few matches, but none of them have ever messaged me. Tinder is still better.

Yeah one thing about bumble is that it shows attractive people first. So for the first hour you're on it you'll think "holy shit it is nothing but hot girls on here!" but then you hit a certain point from people who always get right swipes to people who never get swiped, it switches from hotties to uggos like instantaneously.

I guess we just have different experiences. I had far more success with Tinder (historically and recently).
