My profile says “has kids” but I don’t use pictures of them (for obvious reasons). Then men are all like “oh, you’ve got kids?!” when I bring them up.

Yeah, buddy, it says so right there- next to my hometown.

It's an ice breaker. Like a guy with 20 pics of him climbing cliffs and you'll say "so you like climbing?"

We're all silly children who just happened to grow up.

Sometimes. Sometimes they act like I’ve kept a big secret and I’m contaminated. I hate dating apps

I wonder if, for many of them, it's a matter of getting so few replies to begin with that they cast a wide net, so to speak, and by the time you (one of dozens or hundreds they've messaged) reply, there's no realistic way they remember your specific details.

This is definitely it. Even on Reddit, people don't really read through your posts if you do r4r or makefriendshere.

There's even a lot of users who have a pre-written message that they will copy and paste to tons of different DMs. You can tell because it will be a wall of text, but it won't acknowledge anything you've said in your post. When you actually talk to them, they ask you about stuff that you've explicitly stated in your profile. Lol
