I get a couple matches a week on Facebook dating and I'm not shy at all about sending a first message. But about 75% of the time or better I'll send a message and I won't even get a response. I find it even more frustrating when they swipe on me first. Is it just shallow people seeking validation or something? Even weirder they keep me matched on there and won't unmatch. So I have this long list of women on there who haven't responded to me saying something. I only ever send one message and Im respectful as possible.

Ive tried everything from opening up with a joke to compliments. I think the most bold message I've sent first was just telling a woman she's gorgeous which I genuinely think she is. The other day I matched with a woman whose bio says she lives in Texas but her location said she was over in Missouri about 40 miles from me. So I asked if she was from texas or Missouri. No response at all and it's been almost 2 weeks.

I'm 29, a home owner, I have a new truck, a motorcycle, I'm in great shape physically maybe a little skinny for a lot of women. 150 pounds and just under 6', and super curly fluffy hair. My question is though why swipe if I'm not their type or something? Just to see if I'll swipe back? I'm genuinely curious.

Fix: it was some corrosion on my outside breaker!

I had tree take out my power line and it broke my pole. So I had a new one installed and Ameren came today and connected me and put in a new meter. I have low voltage or something. I am not even remotely good with electric. I called them to come back out and check but I'm curious if that's not the problem what else could it be?

I was at KFC and this girl was getting me my food and was blundering over herself forgetting things and was staring so hard. When I was pulling off she was watching.

She looked young but anymore I can't tell how old some of these girls are. I'm 29 but I look 23-24. She had her manager right there. Is it appropriate to say something in a situation like that? She was adorable but I don't wanna get anyone in trouble.

She was blundering so bad she almost forgot my drink and when I asked for jelly for my 3 biscuits (I love KFC biscuits so I get extra but not important) she only gave one 😅

Would it get her in trouble if I went tomorrow and asked for her number? Seriously though I didn't want to get her in trouble.

I'm a 29 year old single guy from the STL area. I ride a Triumph Bonneville motorcycle, I love building things that go fast. Fishing and outdoor activities. I'm one of those people who knows a little bit about everything damn near. I'm thoroughly experienced with life but not very well traveled. I've never been out of the country, I've never even seen the ocean.

I love EDM. Dubstep and riddim mostly. I listen to a lot of other stuff too. My favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Primus, and TOOL. I can DJ and I played bass guitar for years which helped me start djing.

I'm working on bettering myself. I got out of a long and nasty relationship with a covert narcissist a year ago and I've been working heavily on finding myself again after the discard.

I am sober 100% I haven't had a drink in years. I exercise often and read alot of audiobooks at work. I enjoy horror and comedy series. I'm a dork, I love star wars and anything to do with zombies especially novels like Zombie Rules and Rot and Ruin.

I am not a political person I find all that talk to be draining and toxic.

I'm definitely looking to find some buddies who like to ride. I have my Bonneville, an 01 Yamaha blaster, a custom mini bike, and go-karts. I also have a propel pivot gt electric skateboard. I'm also working on building one of my many dream cars. A 1999 Honda Civic si coupe.

I'm scrolling on FB dating reading bios and all that.

This 34 yo woman had on there "4 kids and a beautiful grand baby"

​

The noise I made 🤣 the mf audacity. Like mother like daughter I guess 🫡

​

I was on there for all of maybe 5 minutes and immediately hit that "taking a break" button. I don't know if it's just just the STL area and something in the water but good god some of y'all need Jesus.

I quit smoking a few weeks ago after almost 20 years of continuous use. The dreams I've been having are disturbing. I had one last night that I couldn't get out of. Nothing I did would wake me up yet I wanted out. My alarm woke me up in the morning which was like a saving grace I was relieved when it went off.

I used to not dream almost at all for years on end now it's almost nightly and they're disturbing and extremely vivid. I can feel things including pain in the dreams. I know I'm in a dream but there's no level of lucidity. I can't change anything that happens or force myself to wake up.

I find it to be extremely off putting and it makes sleep entirely unenjoyable and gives me anxiety to lay down cause I know what's to come. Last night's dream was about trying to save this girl from being attacked and some how I ended up locked in her house and I couldn't get out. It felt like that Stephen King book Misery except no one broke my legs. It was fairly similar to my last relationship how I couldn't leave my ex when she was going psycho dragging on my feet and physically hurting herself in an effort from stopping me from getting outside. Eerily similar. I'm gonna talk to my therapist about that one cause I feel like that is something I'm afraid of happening again. At least half of the dreams have been surrounded by being abused again and not taken seriously by anyone.

I've been smoking weed since I was a teenager and now that I'm almost 30 and I actually put it down I feel so weird. I can't eat, I sleep way too long, my head feels like its swimming.

I got hired at a place that does drug testing and is a very very very serious job that can take me far. I already have a wonderful job but this one is on a different level. My job is high end and doesn't care but this one does. I want to be on my A game for this new job but right now I feel like I just woke up and I've been at work for 3 hours so far.

When I was in middle school I read this absolutely horrifying novel about these treasure hunters looking for this ancient treasure told for centuries by different civilizations speaking of a wall of fire (which ended up being a few metric tonnes of fire opal) in a cave in this chalk cliff underwater that's being guarded by a large prehistoric grouper like fish the size of a small submarine. Hundreds of years ago the water level was lower so the natives could walk into it but the water rose closing it off under a few dozen meters of water.

There ends up being a militant group searching for the treasure as well who remind me of Trinity from Tomb Raider. I have this vivid memory of the group catching one of the treasure hunters and sticking them in this large tank and feeding them to some giant freaky crab monster. That scene has lived rent free in my head for 15+ years now.

The book cover shows the face of the fish, like a mixture of a grouper and an angler fish looking right at you it's face takes up the whole cover. I don't remember the title or the author. I was a kid when I read it and I've searched Google many times over the years looking for answers.
