You haven't seen my Tinder. edit: Nor listened to my ego.

edit2: Seriously, Tinder is the shallowest place there is, isn't it? I'd say more than half of the girls there have no bio on them, and so all I've got is their pics. Of course I will rate their appearance.
I will have to confess to some ignorance on that front, I've never used any kind of dating site.

Your post just reminded me of a guy I used to know who struggled to get dates. He used to go on dating websites, viciously mock all the women's photos and then complain loudly about why none of these bitches wanted to date him even though he was 'such a nice guy'.

While I think being a "Nice Guy" is not the way to go, I think trying to be a decent person is under-rated these days.

(That's not specifically directed at you, by the way, just thinking out loud. Typing out loud? Whatever).

Well, I just went through maybe two dozen Tinder profiles, and it of course sucks a little that none of the decent-looking women match with me. However, then there are the ones with clearly something off about them even at first glance - could be bad photos, no smile, acne-scarred or pudgy face, no eyebrows, masculine jaw etc. The frustration hits when none of them match and I'm instead left with somebody with all of the aforementioned, who has no bio and lives far away to boot. It's not worth taking too seriously in the long run, gotta say. Like I'm not even above leaving someone alone after a bunch of exchanged messages because it feels too much like I'm conducting an interrogation.

Its hard to be the judge of that because how one conducts themselves online can be very different from how they are in real life. I'm not sure how much you want to divulge on that front and if it's really bothering you I suggest confiding in someone you trust who will be honest with you.
In general your threads don't gel with me. Only one that actively annoyed me was the one in regards to dating and 'what women want' because it's the same trite garbage espoused by dudes who fool/ or think they can fool women with their macho crap and we deal with enough of that in real life.
But again that may not necessarily correlate to overall quality of life. Unless this is genuine lady problems.

All the anime stuff seems like a bit of an obsession but not a problem in and of itself.

Personal life stuff I've seen you reference I'd say yes, think there's probably some issues there. Like honest question here, do you like yourself? Are you happy to be *you*? Do you feel like you're a worthwhile person? If not then I'd say you have some problems to fix in your life most likely. Either expectations of yourself that are too high or behaviors you can change to make yourself into a person you like and are happy being. You kind of come off as insecure and self-depreciating in a way that doesn't just seem purely like humor.

Sorry I didn't participate in here as much as I should've - I found it kinda hard to come back and respond properly.
