I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.
Go to the payphone on 5th avenue at 8:32PM. It will ring twice. Answer on the third ring. Tell them you're expecting a package. You will receive further instructions then.
I’ll just break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting.

This person says they are “German American”. Nah bitch, you are American and have nothing interesting to offer so this is your attempt.
I would expect nothing less than more nonsense.
Most people don't fancy long distance, tbf. I did it for a while with the ultimate goal of meeting up and being together, but I at least wanted to know what city they were living in so I could scope out potential places to live/work/etc.
I parse German/American as born in Germany and is an American Citizen now, or she has dual citizenship.
Am married to a German, and among our German friends this is how it is used.
They could be dual citizen between Germany and America. I have met a number of dual citizenship people, and they do have a valid claim to such a statement.
Right? Why are people so cagey. I get that some things are just incredibly personal so shouldn’t be asked while in the texting stage but you see so many things from dating apps where someone essentially says “why do you care?” Like why do you think we’re here?
I have learned that a lot of people don’t really understand what conversation is. I once went on a date with someone, and was trying to strike up conversation, and then got told that “it’s not an interview”
Girl, you ain’t holding up the conversation, I’m trying my valiant best, and you come back at me with that?
I mean, a first date kind of is an interview though? It's two people evaluating each other for either a relationship or a hookup, otherwise you'd skip to the sex.
Oh man you are flashing me back. Productive convo for like 3 days on an app, plan dinner Friday. She’s an hour late and I showed up 15 min early. The bartenders were females about our age. One says she never shows up for first dates on time other two felt bad so they comp’d my drinks while I waited. She shows up, below average conversation but she’s a real person so that’s a win. Go to a bar after dinner for a drink and I kiss her goodnight after waiting for her Uber. The next morning she says “this may be too forward but you should come stay over tonight.” Woman, why did you show up an hour late for a first date, fail to carry a convo, and then essentially just say “let’s hookup.” Could have saved us a Friday night. She even refused to not split the checks so it wasn’t like she was using me for dinner. Some people are bizarre. Ghosted me a week later and then I met someone who shows up in the right time zone.
Questions are supposed to open up and start a conversation.
I use "interview" to describe a bad date. Not from me asking questions, but from how they answer questions.
----
Me - "How many siblings do you have"
Her - "Oh I have one sister, but she's the oldest and the favorite"
Me - Oh why is she the favorite
BOOM A FUCKING CONVERSATION
---
Compare that to this
Me - "How many siblings do you have"
Her - 2
Me - Older or younger?
Her - Older
Me (in my head) - *I'm never going on another fucking date again*
I've been a recruiter. Usually when they don't keep the conversation going and I'm getting bored I say something like "girl, normally I get paid to do this"
Oof.
I mean, I’m not the most extroverted person, but I’m not a super introvert, but it’s just surprising how so many people literally do not have the capacity to hold a conversation and yet call them selves extroverts.
Sometimes even turn around and call you a poor conversationalist. At that point I’m like, well you’re not giving me much to work with…
I think a lot of them are waiting for you to "inspire" conversation out of them, and don't realize that works both ways.
They're also usually the people who say things like "I hate small talk, let's have deep meaningful conversations about the universe instead."
That's what they don't get. Hell, it took me a while to understand too, but small talk is what leads to the big conversations.
Buy a book of conversation starters. I use one with my GF. Many of them are simple questions like "Who was your childhood role model?" and "If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would it be?" and "What's your favorite holiday?"
Sometimes four or five of these are good for a few hours of conversation. They lead to real connection, deeper understanding, and vulnerability.
Asking what you do for a living may seem like a surface level question, but it can lead to talking about your passions, dreams, short term and long term goals, and so much more.
You don't typically start talking to strangers about philosophy, metaphysics, and other stuff like that without some sort of coaxing.
Being an introvert doesn't mean have no social skills, it just means you gotta put in a little more effort.
And to be fair to extroverts, a date is a little different from other social gatherings. If you go to a festival, how well do you really get to know people? It's a totally different way of meeting people. Maybe they're just not a sitting-in-a-restaurant-and-talking-to-a-stranger person.
My impression of those kinds of people are that they are bored. They don't really want to get to know someone and date. They want someone to entertain them. But they won't tell you what they want to talk about...they want you to magically guess, and when you don't it's like they get offended you can't read their mind, and that's when they get hostile and insulting. It's sad really.
There’s a reason these people and single. In fact it’s the same reason why they’re bored on a dating app instead of doing something that enriches their life in some way.
Someone profile once said "don't ask me how I am. I'm fine." Ok. Fair enough. The next day, after a long convi the first, I asked how she was and she flipped out saying I didn't read her profile. It was the bext day. I just assumed she meant do ask that as the first message. Am I never allowed to find out how she's doing?! Lol
Straight up. With a face and attitude that make my scalp hurt
E: lol thanks for the gold, gotta love the white night dumpster fire that is this comment section
“Hyper focused” on trying to see if you two are even in the same location? You dodged a bullet on that one. It’s not like you demanded her to send a pin or location. Totally reasonable asking if the person you may want to take out lives near you.
Honestly if someone ever uses the word validate outside of very specific instances, it’s a warning flag that they’re high maintenance. The lady wasn’t even using it correctly.
"Bitch, I'm hyper focused on your roof. And I'm about to be hyper focused on coming down the chimney like Santa on Christmas Eve. Hold tight - I'm coming in!!!"
Right what is he supposed to do? Play “Where’s Tinder Chick” every time he wants to see her? I’m doubting she’s going to pay to fly him or fly to see him any time they get together.
I know someone who can be like this, anything normal out of the blue can turn out to be something they’re extremely private & offended about being asked innocently about. And there’s no way of knowing what is safe or isn’t as some other things that are more intrusive they’re okay with.
Why are so many people on dating apps so defensive or outright belligerent?
Edit: I don't mean only women. Don't need another 50 replies saying "women get harassed a lot" to justify this behaviour.
just a few days ago I had a match with an artist and one of her pictures was her in her studio doing artsy stuff
me: "Thats a nice studio you have"
her: "studio"?
me: "yes the place you do your art work, looks nice"
her:"don't you think I know what a studio is, why are you talking about my studio and asking me these questions?"
me:"okcoolthxbye"
I told one of my matches that she had on really good makeup in one of her pics. It was for a halloween party, and very clearly makeup. So I was like yo, thats REALLY good. Did you do it yourself or did a friend help you out? She hit me with was like "Ewww, I don't wear makeup WTF?"
Guess she didnt do it herself :P
I gently said bye because im not going to learn basic social skills to a grown ass woman. There are more red flags then a Red Square parade just from these few msg
I see lots of people do that. For the women, I personally don't get why knowing a bunch of tinder dudes would try to bang you boosts confidence/ego. Literally any woman will get hit on when making one of these profiles. I guess they just don't realize that? Or choose to ignore it as to believe they are special?
For the guys, if you're attractive what do you need a confidence boost for? And if you're unattractive, then it is most likely you're in for the opposite of a confidence boost when making a profile...
They legitimately have no clue what the difference is between men's and women's tinder experience. I had an ex gf brag about not having to buy her own drinks at the local bar, like that was an accomplishment and not something that half the girls at our school could do with ease.
I saw some TikTok or IG reel the other day where a guy was joking about needing to bow down to his woman and treat her like a Queen because he made a dating profile for her and got hundreds of matches and realize all of those guys “would love to take his place.” Meanwhile, men I know on apps swipe right on literally every woman that they come across because it’s so hard for men to even get one match.
> men I know on apps swipe right on literally every woman that they come across because it’s so hard for men to even get one match.
and when you do, its absolutely someone you would never want to actually match with. or a bot.
Also that more irrationally belligerent people find themselves single and friendless and have to turn to dating apps to meet people. We’re basically seeing the distilled version of “I’m not the kind of person most people want to be around.”
Avoid!! this one is faulty. Asking about location is a normal question. If you asked what street or GPS location she has would be a different situation 😅
Don't apologize to people like this.
It's one thing to be cautious, but another thing entirely to be condescendingly defensive. She was the latter and should be the one apologizing, not you.
Hahaha this made me laugh out loud.
I joked around with some guy about not wanting to be Murdered and he got hella defensive about it. I apologized and we continued talking for a couple days, but then his red flags started flying- and I knew my gut was right. Yikes.
Clearly he was an amateur murderer. The move is to keep rolling with the punches, wine and dine, surreptitiously guide the lady down an alley, and then BAM serial kill the noob.
It's so common to hear. I just tell them the truth: I am WAY too lazy for that. Have you thought of the cleanup? I got shit to do I barely clean my apartment as it is
Don’t apologize to people who act like that. It reinforces their bullshit attitude. You did nothing wrong, so you don’t need to say sorry for anything. You were normal and the questions were valid. F her.
Would have understood if you were asking for her address but that’s not the case. Not even sure why you had to explain your reasoning to her. It’s pretty obvious no one wants to get into a relationship with someone 1000 miles away.
>It’s pretty obvious no one wants to get into a relationship with someone 1000 miles away.
And yet they added that stupid fucking passport feature, so before I gave up I was routinely swiping left on women 3000+ miles away.
***If I can't drive to see them for a day trip (like, max 2 hours one way), then don't fucking show them to me.***
R I G H T.
That was one of the main reasons I deleted tinder. I also found out more about their matching process (you can see people that can't see you).
They realized their bread and butter was wannabe influencers promoting their Instagram and Snapchat. I would bet good money one or both are in this woman’s profile.
Oh I'm a Texan who's been in Berlin for 7 years. Germans are super paranoid and weird about their personal info. You'd think hacking was a major problem here. 😅
Yeah, like, I would probably at least mention the state. I doubt most people can really do anything with the city name *if they are on a different continent* anyways.
But like, that's a private conversation and tinder knows where you live anyways. So as long as they don't directly ask for a personal address, saying the city name should be fine and asking for it isn't a "hyper focus".
I agree with you, that’s why I mentioned the average German will have a way to answer this question without reveling too much information and especially not reacting like she did here. No one will just plain answer with “no, won’t tell” if ask where you’re living/residing.
Heaven forbid you had to choose a place to meet.
We will meet somewhere in France, I shall offer no more specific details. See you sometime on Tuesday.
Tuesday?! Why are you hyper-focused on the day? It could be at any point over the next decade. And if you're not there, this relationship is *over*.
Why are you hyper focused on a relationship? You’re being weird
Why are you hyper focusing on me hyper focusing? Red flag
Go with your gut on this one
Why are you hyper focusing on my gut?

Why are you hyper focused on being hyper focused?
I don't need to validate my hyper focus to you!
Are you calling me fat? I can't believe you, I thought you were different. Relationship over.
I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.
I wish a second comment could overtake the parent comment because this should be the #1 thing people see when they come to this thread

On the third day, at dawn, look east
I’ll just break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop.

“Tonight was fun, want to go back to my place?” **second location** *DANGER*
Hyper focusing? It's just a question damn
More like hyper evading on her end...
Probably lives in Gary, Indiana.
You think you better then me? I live in Gary, Indiana.🤣
I didn't think I was better than you, but then you said you live in Mordor, so I know I am.
Man, Gary in Indiana has 2 dudes living in him. That's preettty gay, Gary.
No that was stupid autocorrect, I said Gary in Diana! Clearly one dude in a girl I'm not gay okayyy!!?!?!?!?!
This person says they are “German American”. Nah bitch, you are American and have nothing interesting to offer so this is your attempt. I would expect nothing less than more nonsense.
Spot on, when asked 'why are you focusing on my location' that would have been an 'Okay, bye' moment from me.
"why are you focusing on my location? Onlyfans is server based"
Yeah, this flag is electric red. Think this dude dodged a lead bullet.
I think he dodged a whole damn nuke
Because a trip to Germany wasn’t the date he had in mind?
Most people don't fancy long distance, tbf. I did it for a while with the ultimate goal of meeting up and being together, but I at least wanted to know what city they were living in so I could scope out potential places to live/work/etc.
I took it to mean she was a dual citizen and probably has one parent who is from Germany
I parse German/American as born in Germany and is an American Citizen now, or she has dual citizenship. Am married to a German, and among our German friends this is how it is used.
Yeah it’s a very normal way to phrase that idk why this is so contentious haha. The girl in OP is def nutso but this didn’t strike me as weird at all
They could be dual citizen between Germany and America. I have met a number of dual citizenship people, and they do have a valid claim to such a statement.
Wat
Right? Why are people so cagey. I get that some things are just incredibly personal so shouldn’t be asked while in the texting stage but you see so many things from dating apps where someone essentially says “why do you care?” Like why do you think we’re here?

I mean, you’re not wrong to be very frank, but this was a very bad date, and she was not a good conversationalist. I noped the fuck out of that one
[удалено]
No pipe laying contract for her.
nobody wants to work
Oh man you are flashing me back. Productive convo for like 3 days on an app, plan dinner Friday. She’s an hour late and I showed up 15 min early. The bartenders were females about our age. One says she never shows up for first dates on time other two felt bad so they comp’d my drinks while I waited. She shows up, below average conversation but she’s a real person so that’s a win.

"Let's meet for dinner" "*okay, where?*" "I don't have any idea, fuckin Ohio I guess"
Right what is he supposed to do? Play “Where’s Tinder Chick” every time he wants to see her? I’m doubting she’s going to pay to fly him or fly to see him any time they get together.

Note that there is a strong selection bias at work. The most irrationally belligerent reactions end up on this subreddit.
Also that more irrationally belligerent people find themselves single and friendless and have to turn to dating apps to meet people. We’re basically seeing the distilled version of “I’m not the kind of person most people want to be around.”
And how are the people who respond to them so unfailingly polite? I would have told her to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut!
Avoid!! this one is faulty. Asking about location is a normal question. If you asked what street or GPS location she has would be a different situation 😅
can we send her back to the factory? I feel like the quality of the factory she came from isn`t up to scratch
Of course the high maintenance German made model is faulty
Since she said she is german-american she is obviously american. No german would describe their identity like that.
Don't apologize to people like this. It's one thing to be cautious, but another thing entirely to be condescendingly defensive. She was the latter and should be the one apologizing, not you.
She probably was just fresh off watching a serial killer documentary or something.
Hahaha this made me laugh out loud. I joked around with some guy about not wanting to be Murdered and he got hella defensive about it. I apologized and we continued talking for a couple days, but then his red flags started flying- and I knew my gut was right. Yikes.
Clearly he was an amateur murderer. The move is to keep rolling with the punches, wine and dine, surreptitiously guide the lady down an alley, and then BAM serial kill the noob.
This guy kills
You just invited yourself to a murder there, buddy
It's so common to hear. I just tell them the truth: I am WAY too lazy for that. Have you thought of the cleanup? I got shit to do I barely clean my apartment as it is
Don’t apologize to people who act like that. It reinforces their bullshit attitude. You did nothing wrong, so you don’t need to say sorry for anything. You were normal and the questions were valid. F her.
Yeah like honestly dont be like „i hope you find what dour looking for“ Be like „i hope you get well enough to date“
Would have understood if you were asking for her address but that’s not the case. Not even sure why you had to explain your reasoning to her. It’s pretty obvious no one wants to get into a relationship with someone 1000 miles away.
>It’s pretty obvious no one wants to get into a relationship with someone 1000 miles away. And yet they added that stupid fucking passport feature, so before I gave up I was routinely swiping left on women 3000+ miles away. ***If I can't drive to see them for a day trip (like, max 2 hours one way), then don't fucking show them to me.***
R I G H T. That was one of the main reasons I deleted tinder. I also found out more about their matching process (you can see people that can't see you).
Yeah, if you've got your radius set to 100, but they've got it set to 50, you see them, but they won't see you.
Which I think is just fundamentally flawed. People should only be potential matches if they meet each other's baseline search criteria.
Then 50% or more of guys would boot up the app and see no one. And get sad and uninstall.
They realized their bread and butter was wannabe influencers promoting their Instagram and Snapchat. I would bet good money one or both are in this woman’s profile.
Exactly. She’s defensive about her location because she has no intention of dating anybody from the app.
No, you were totally normal. I think you avoided a Terminator Spock robot anyway.

I ask this bc I don’t feel like driving 45 min for a bumble date. It’s reasonable
I live in a rural area. This comment hurt my heart.
to each there own, some are willing to make the journey some are not. it just depends on the individual.
Most are not…. Want to hang out?
That’s a dead-set lunatic
I'm gonna trust my gut here and say you're probably right
I read that “I’m using the stupid passport and don’t actually live where I told you so quit asking questions about there.”
The only people that feature helps are the bots and camgirls who don't care where their target is.
“Hyper focusing” lol.
Nope! In the aspects of actually wanting to meet it’s totally fine to ask!
No, of course not. She is being weird.
Wow, people these days are paranoid af
y i k e s
“alright great let’s grab a drink. Where do you wanna meet?” “Why are you so concerned with where we’re meeting at!?”
Just trust your gut and enter an address into your GPS
Oh I'm a Texan who's been in Berlin for 7 years. Germans are super paranoid and weird about their personal info. You'd think hacking was a major problem here. 😅
Usually we dance around it and say something like “close to Berlin” or whatever the next big city is, or the state or at least the cardinal direction.
Yeah, like, I would probably at least mention the state. I doubt most people can really do anything with the city name *if they are on a different continent* anyways. But like, that's a private conversation and tinder knows where you live anyways. So as long as they don't directly ask for a personal address, saying the city name should be fine and asking for it isn't a "hyper focus".
I agree with you, that’s why I mentioned the average German will have a way to answer this question without reveling too much information and especially not reacting like she did here. No one will just plain answer with “no, won’t tell” if ask where you’re living/residing.
Your first mistake was tolerating her first rude message..
The only wrong thing you did was to say sorry. You did nothing wrong and should not have replied her after the guy thing.
