    So a miracle happened and I got two matches from actual attractive ladies, of a good age and weight, who are responding to messages.

    I'm not sure what to say to these rare specimens. How does one get to the point of banging?

    Ugh.

    Men like you are the reason these apps are such a nightmare for women.

    I'd open with something about how they are a good age and weight. Also I think "banging" should be in your message, works every time.

    Talk about stuff yer interesting in, ask them about stuff they are interested in. Make some joke about being to busy these days as Love Island is back on. Ask to meet up on Saturday for a lunch. (Don't know the why of it however I've found women put great store into daytime dates.)

    It’s because it implies you actually want to get to know us and are not just after the ride.

    Imagine you saw a profile for your doctor (who is gay in this hypothetical) that said he loved a nice tight arse on a fella the day before you were going in for a prostate exam.

    Wouldn’t freak you out at all?

    If I was that doctor’s patient and I saw a profile saying he loves busty girls I’d be totally freaked out. It makes me think AT BEST he enjoys his consultations more than he should and at worst he exploits his patients.

    That'd be an ecumenical matter. How attractive is this doctor? will he do role play? how attached to his prescription pad is he? etc.

    So many factors at play.

    Don't see anything wrong here?
    Plenty of Women state upfront that they prefer taller men, if a man prefers a slimmer woman that's his perogative. Nothing wrong with that at all.
    In fact there's nothing a person can do about their height but of course someone can easily lose weight if they put the effort in.

    Saying "I prefer taller men/more petite women" is fine.
    Describing a woman as a good "age and weight" as if she's some sort of prize calf for sale at the market is very demeaning and disrespectful.

    The standards, they are double!

    "six foot plus only" - perfectly acceptable

    "double D's please" - yer a creep

    Them's the rules. I didn't make them and you won't change them.

    And angry feminists who hate men and think we are all evil and think we should be exterminated, they seem similar to angry forum users who complain about women

    Out of interest (and naivety) are there age and weight filters on Tinder etc?

    There are age filters. No weight/height filters though.

    It's been a few years but back in the day there was an age filter.

    I'm one of those lads who's been through the ringer on the dating scene.

    It seems the people not on dating sites are the one's who are not monkey branching, giving sh1t tests and messed up....

    Looking back the old fashioned way seemed more organic and conventional....

    The internet scene suit's people with tollerence for drama or second best...

    Singletons who are not looking or people who are happy in their relationships have it easier.

    How can you possibly defend such a double standard, women also treat men like prize bulls at a market, taking their measurements and assessing their physical strength as an indicator of healthy offspring.

    Happiness is an inside job.

    If guy's and women are looking for an easy lay I'm sure there's site's which compliment their desire s....

    Otherwise keep kicking the can down the road....

    Describing a man as tall and handsome is pretty much the same thing though.

    In any case that's exactly what Tinder is.. A marketplace to sell yourself.

    I didn't want to say but yeah they're out there, some real aggressive lesbians over in the lgbt forum also, the type that want male babies DNA profiled from birth to prevent rapes.

    Can't get a read on someones interests on Tinder, never liked it even though it's popular these days.

    The apps are about introductions, not spoon feeding people to each other.

    I was responding a post where someone specifically described a woman as a "good weight and age".
    Talking about anyone, male or female, in such a way is extremely demeaning.

    I'm not saying women don't do it but there has been only one such post on this thread and it was a man describing a woman. Go figure.
