A Sexy Alex, stage 2: DMSI Journal (now 3.3.2!)

[apollolux]

@Benjamin Yea, as I wrote the entire time I was fully expecting some standoffish chick then got that. I've met some..."interesting" chicks here in NYC and red flags immediately went up when her response to "coffee or tea" was "get a hotel" instead. Rationally, I know I dodged a bullet, but irrationally I did wonder how intense would the sex have been with a potential crazy like that.

@CatMan I've had mixed experiences with dating apps, and only ever paid for two services back in the day. Met a few girls from POF, a few from Tinder, a few were dates I got from girls I met in, like, coffee shops and such, and a couple were from my college. The hottest one from POF immediately slotted me as a provider and I wasn't down with that, and the others from POF I came off as too intense for them. Most of the Tinder matches flaked and of the ones who didn't the hottest basically just used me to kill time before her friend's birthday party later that night. The ones I met in person not from my college spent almost all their time intentionally trying to stonewall even attempts at romance, and one even complained afterwards that I wasn't romantic enough. The ones from my college were comparatively more receptive, but two of them in particular (one of them being the Russian blonde I had written about previously) deny their attractions to me to this day even though their actions loudly and obviously say otherwise. No sex from any of the above.

@SargeMaximus I personally know guys who have also had success using dating apps, and as I mention above I've certainly met a few and had dates with them, so I do believe it is indeed possible to find success, sexual or otherwise, with dating apps. Having read on these boards your experience over the past few years, I am genuinely glad you've been able to find success and I look forward to reading more about your current and future experience!
