There was a moment on Tinder where I matched with a woman. Her account was setup for "Short term fun open for long" Then proceeded to tell me "I am not looking for short term fun" Ma'am your profile says other wise.

Means she's down for short term if you're hot enough

Why so many people match with people they’re not interested in is one of humanity’s greatest mysteries

It isn't a mystery lol they get a self esteem boost from seeing a lot of names/pics in their messages

How so many people can objectify others like that without feeling like an ass is one of the greatest mysteries to people with empathy lol

Right, like men aren't objectifying most women they see on there swiping yes on the first photo of most of them

We agree it’s wrong when men objectify women. Why can’t we agree that it’s wrong when women objectify men?

How is this objectifying though, it's a dating app they don't know you or owe you anything, I'd argue its objectifying seeing it as a shopping app where you can tick off what you want and get it.

Treating people like NPC’s and disregarding the fact they have emotions is undeniably objectifying them

People on a dating app where you don't know them at all, and how are they treated like NPCS, you're expecting a lot from women yiu don't know. Maybe they're not interested in what you have to offer once they talk to you...

Lol all I’m expecting is for people to not swipe right unless they’re actually interested. You’re one of those guys aren’t you?

Maybe they don't know they're not interested until they talk to you? Or they change their mind, you're putting a lot of expectation on dating apps where it's complete strangers. Also no, I'm extremely fussy who I swipe yes on. I'm not defending it because of my own behaviour I'm defending it because people need to be realistic about what dating apps are
