How the hell do you manage to get banned from dating apps?

[–] chaogomu@kbin.social 90 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There might be a link between the bans from dating apps and the "not been in a long-term relationship"...

[–] FoundTheVegan@kbin.social 47 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Add another link to posting on 4chan. I'm sure they are just a SWELL.

[–] reflex@kbin.social 11 points 10 months ago

I feel like everything except their age can be traced back to no education.

My wife's best friend has been banned a couple times and is waiting to appeal her tinder ban again.

Although often justifiable based on the ways these guys have acted/spoke to her, it's usually because she's super ruthless in her response. A guy got mad she wasn't interested in just being a booth call after she said she's there for dates too, said she was after a free meal (paying hadn't come up yet, and she always pays for herself unless a guy insists) and so she tore into him. And she's brutal. Another had ghosted her after rescheduling on the date twice and saying stuff came up and that he's busy (days after the fact, no check in or nothing) and so she told him that's some horse shit and that he's a little bitch that needs to get his life in order if he's gonna stand somebody up twice after begging for a second chance.

She definitely could be nicer sometimes, but from what I've read from her it's no different than how I see a lot of dudes talk on there, I think those guys just got their feelings hurt more than standard tinder girls do.

So someone who can't control their temper got banned. The system works.

I can see why she's single LMAO

I used to go to school with a lady that was perma banned from Tinder last year. My guess is she replied to creepy/perverted messages with enough hostility that they yeeted her straight off the platform.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

In all honesty I've gotten banned from a couple. Turns out they don't usually take account security super seriously. Stop using it for a bit, and suddenly it's sending out obvious scam bait messages lol

Mental mal-adjustment

[–] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

I've literally been asking that question. A lot of people never get to know why they're banned.

Match Group owns the biggest ones, and sometimes people seem to get banned from all of them at once.

But Google Play Store also disallows installing dating apps for some people. Very unclear why, because there's no official word on them doing it.

Maybe it's for legitimate reasons, but given these companies dominance, I find it disconcerning.

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago

They shadowban you if you're ugly.

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
[–] Polyester6435@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can also get banned from dating apps for not using them the way the app wants you to. For example not messaging people back or not swiping right enough on tinder.

Usually being verbally abusive toward "females"

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

Why female is “in quotes”?

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 83 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This dude reads like a sociopath. The system works.

[–] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 43 points 10 months ago

Seriously. You need to really try to get banned from a dating app, let alone apps plural.

[–] Szymon@lemmy.ca 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I'm sure there are countless social or personal reasons for it, but kids having kids without being taught responsibility or how life works means you get a lot of unfortunate children growing up who were never taught about making plans and goals in life, nor are they provided resources to be successful past childhood when you're just expected to exist and nobody gives a flying fuck about you.

probably said the N word too many times

[–] JustMy2c@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago

I uploaded a single photo that showed my clothed body and my smile, but not my nose/eyes. DONE BLOCKED ZZZ

I told a lady I was not interested in a non attacking way (mentioning I was not over my ex yet and needed some more time) DONE BLOCKED ZZZ

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then go do some stuff that will improve your life?

[–] Osirus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Yes, step 1. Stop drinking. Step 2. Get a job, any job. The rest fall in to place.

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Methinks the last item on the list might be somehow affecting the others...but certainly life is just hell for this guy and there's nothing that can be done but type about it

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago

I didn't know you even could be banned from dating apps

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

Hell, as always, is self made and fake.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

It's actually quite an impressive feat to fuck your life up that badly. This person has absolutely nothing going for them whatsoever.

[–] PeWu@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Ooh, I have 5/9. Four more to go!

Edit: apparently I can't read and count

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I got some bad news for you, bud. There's only 9 on that list.

[–] Quexotic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

10 if you count hell?

[–] PeWu@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Ye I'm blind

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

oh no, the consequences of my inaction

[–] OutrageousUmpire@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Too many folks stuck in a boat like this nowadays :-(

[–] echodot@feddit.uk -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If they don't have a license that's a problem that they made, if they don't have a job that's probably because they drink too much and are unreliable (that may also be why they don't have a license) and if they are an alcoholic that's probably their core problem.

All of anons issues are their own, it's not society's fault they're in this situation. Although I am sure they would not agree.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Not having a license isn't actually an issue; you can save a lot of money by not driving a car.

This guy is probably just depressed and the lack of sympathy and support from others is only exacerbating and perpetuating the problem. People like him need love and support from external sources to be able to heal their inner wounds and fix their problems.

Life stuff like what he's listing is never the actual source of the problem.
