How the hell do you manage to get banned from dating apps?

[–] ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 70 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Usually being verbally abusive toward "females"

"Hello bambinos"

My wife's best friend has been banned a couple times and is waiting to appeal her tinder ban again.

Although often justifiable based on the ways these guys have acted/spoke to her, it's usually because she's super ruthless in her response. A guy got mad she wasn't interested in just being a booth call after she said she's there for dates too, said she was after a free meal (paying hadn't come up yet, and she always pays for herself unless a guy insists) and so she tore into him. And she's brutal. Another had ghosted her after rescheduling on the date twice and saying stuff came up and that he's busy (days after the fact, no check in or nothing) and so she told him that's some horse shit and that he's a little bitch that needs to get his life in order if he's gonna stand somebody up twice after begging for a second chance.

She definitely could be nicer sometimes, but from what I've read from her it's no different than how I see a lot of dudes talk on there, I think those guys just got their feelings hurt more than standard tinder girls do.

So someone who can't control their temper got banned. The system works.

I used to go to school with a lady that was perma banned from Tinder last year. My guess is she replied to creepy/perverted messages with enough hostility that they yeeted her straight off the platform.

In all honesty I've gotten banned from a couple. Turns out they don't usually take account security super seriously. Stop using it for a bit, and suddenly it's sending out obvious scam bait messages lol

Mental mal-adjustment

[–] Polyester6435@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can also get banned from dating apps for not using them the way the app wants you to. For example not messaging people back or not swiping right enough on tinder.

oh no, the consequences of my inaction

[–] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 160 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Being banned from dating apps is probably consequences for their actions.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 75 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Lack of license and being an alcoholic is probably consequences as well.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 months ago

Not having a driver's license could be either.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 83 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This dude reads like a sociopath. The system works.

[–] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 43 points 10 months ago

Seriously. You need to really try to get banned from a dating app, let alone apps plural.

[–] Szymon@lemmy.ca 66 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I'm sure there are countless social or personal reasons for it, but kids having kids without being taught responsibility or how life works means you get a lot of unfortunate children growing up who were never taught about making plans and goals in life, nor are they provided resources to be successful past childhood when you're just expected to exist and nobody gives a flying fuck about you.

Then go do some stuff that will improve your life?

[–] Osirus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Yes, step 1. Stop drinking. Step 2. Get a job, any job. The rest fall in to place.

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Methinks the last item on the list might be somehow affecting the others...but certainly life is just hell for this guy and there's nothing that can be done but type about it

[–] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know you even could be banned from dating apps

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

Hell, as always, is self made and fake.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

It's actually quite an impressive feat to fuck your life up that badly. This person has absolutely nothing going for them whatsoever.
