Made a okcupid account back in the day with some random pictures I found on non-English internet of a decently attractive woman. Holy shit, within a week there were tens of unread messages and likes.

What is the lesson there? Go meet women in person. Online/tinder/okc is for schmucks. Women have it so easy.

Also this article is submarine pr for bark. Honestly bark sounds like something that would be awful for parents mental health. Do you really want to know what your kids are doing? At 10-15 we (girls included) we were trying to be as offensive as possible on the internet.

I would not categorize having to dig through online harassment as “easy”.

[rayhendricks]

The comment was directly referring to likes and direct messages received in an online dating profile.

In a platform such as an online dating app/game this in no way would be considered “online harassment”, if anything they world be considered validation.

I find that offensive:

a) young or attractive will get attention; a large number of woman do not get attention (perhaps even when seeking it).

b) “easy”? The whole point here is that it isn’t easy at all dealing with bad attention.

Cool be offended. But I would still disagree with your attempted rebuttal of my original points.

a) Not just Young or attractive women will get attention. There are a lot of older/non conventionally attractive women that use online dating too. Who knows since we are thinking in hypotheticals would you deny them male attention if they wanted it? What about a younger man who wants to meet older/bbw/non conventionally-attractive women?Tinder et al. are great for that, and I would not dissuade anyone for trying to find someone they are sexually attracted to.

b) The point that I was making, and that you have created a straw man argument out of....is that yes women have it easy in regards to receiving validation and invitation to dates/encounters/sex in the form of likes and messages on online dating services. There may be undesirables/creeps out there but it is trivial to unmatched so it would arguably be easier than swanking with bad attention in in the real world.
