Your opinion. It's pretty weird in mine.
Once again, you are in the minority on this one. Cool if you want to behave that way, but know that any woman you are interested in is probably chatting with multiple guys. So your judgment is just that, judgmental.

I specifically said that I find it disrepectful to be openly dating 2 people.
I think our views on the definition of dating differ. Simply chatting or going on a first date isn't dating someone.

Well, I hope you do have opportunity soon to put the texting thing in practice. I typically asked women out after like 5 texts each. On average, as it obviously differs based on the interaction

It's kind of a long story. Here's a summary to catch you up on CE lore.
-sktgamer's girlfriend passes away unexpectedly a while before the following incidents, and he makes a couple topics discussing his shock and sorrow
-someone posts news story of a gay man who was murdered by a college football player after pretending to be a woman on tinder
-initially it wasn't fully clear he was a gay man and not a trans woman misgendered by the article, and gunplagirl introduces the topic of trans bigotry and victimization
-sktgamer posts some reddit comment from some random purporting to have heard of the victim, claiming that he made a habit of luring underage men
-gunplagirl and sktgamer get into it, and sktgamer tosses some fuel on the fire by saying some transphobic things
-gunplagirl makes a post to the effect that since he'd recently lost someone, sktgamer should understand how she feels about trans victims
-he blows up and starts attacking her for what he perceives as a jab at his girlfriend and iirc even makes a veiled death threat before being suspended, she deletes the post to try to sweep it under the rug but gets suspended as well anyway
-much fierce debate about the incident over the next couple days, cyricz and a few others defend her while a few on the other side attack them
-sktgamer eventually comes back from suspension and starts lashing out some more at gunplagirl and the people defending her (prominently including cyricz), who after a couple weeks of it retaliates by telling him that his girlfriend would be ashamed of him
-cyricz gets warned and makes a pseudo-apology to the world at large about how he regrets stooping down to sktgamer's level
-people eventually get sick of ranting about it after a while
Sounds like bad behavior all around and many people should apologize

He literally said he wasn't that into her.

I didn't say he was.

That was a response to what you said:
"go after the two at the same time"

Like I said, I wouldnt like it if a girl I like is "going after" another dude while also going after me.

I find it disrespectful and cringe.

Huh

oh right. Forgive me Mr. Experienced.

I'm clueless because I don't promote seeing 2 people at the same time, sure.
I gave advice that almost anyone would give. Dating 2 people right at the very beginning is completely normal. People do it all the time and it's not considered a big deal before promises are made.

If you think it is disrespectful and cringe, you need to understand that that flies in the face of what almost everyone does today.

You seem to think you know me and you seem to have something out for me which is not based on the reality of who I am at all. I am exceedingly anti cheating and I am also all about honesty. I generally try really hard to help people here and in real life. I admit that sometimes I can make snarky comments and maybe that comes off bad, but ultimately I do wish people here the best.

Yes.

I know *I* wouldn't feel good if I found out a girl I'm getting involved with romantically is actually getting involved with another dude at the same time.

I don't know. Basic respect?

More like it sounds like he wasn't really into that girl.

Irrelevant. Just flirting with 2 people at the same time, especially when you're open about it seems pretty cringe.
He literally stopped texting one woman to pine after another. He never went on a date with either. That is not "involved with romantically". Even going on a date or two with multiple people is completely normal and almost everyone says there is nothing wrong with that. I am not talking about sex, I am not talking about a committed relationship, I am not talking about cheating or lying or deceitfulness.

You just sound kinda clueless tbh

I sometimes wonder if this is me but to lazy to research. I just know I have a little bit of a libertarian streak despite being pretty far left on most issues, especially social ones. Like for instance, if you don't want to bake a cake for a gay couple, then don't, but I hope you get boycotted to hell for it.

I think you may be looking too deep into what folks consider a hit colloquially

If we saw the video a lot we just thought it was somewhere in the zone of being some sort of hit

Idc enough though feel free to disagree, I won't fight back lol
I am just going by the normal industry terms. There are lots of bands in the 80s dubbed one-hit wonders, and many had a couple songs that also got a tiny bit of rock or college radio airplay. But when talking about one massive hit and a couple blips, that is still a one-hit wonder.

Yes. They had 2 songs. This and the one tc mentioned.
Depends on what counts as a hit.

In the US, Smooth Criminal hit #28 overall and #1 on Alternative radio. Movies never charted overall and hit #18 on Alternative. I would argue only one was a hit.

In the UK, Smooth Criminal hit #3 and Movies hit #5, so maybe a 2-hit wonder in the UK.

Kind of a long story but we stopped dating... My call. She was Nepalese, wanted to get way too serious too quick. she actually talked about her family trying to set her up for an arranged marriage during our first conversation online and if the next Aussie guy she met wasted her time she'd consider it, she'd just had a 9 month situationship. I remember being unsure if she was kind of a traditional or modern woman or somewhere in between.

I give pretty girls a lot of rope and am pretty open minded so was still happy to meet and see where it went, and things went pretty well for the first 3 or so dates.

When I realised it would probably not be a good idea to continue seeing her since our values are pretty different I sent a message basically apologising for wasting her time and she understood or at least said she did

  1. Never put all your eggs in one basket. You can go after both at the same time.
  2. If you suck at texting, don't let it carry on for long. Ask them out early in the texting process. Actually, this is true even for people good at texting.

Since you guys are fucking losers only talking about dating, I'm gonna bring up an entirely different point.

Job interviews.

The same people saying "just take the hint" probably shouldn't be agreeing to ghosting being a thing in job interviews, since a level of professionalism is expected. But it still happens. Doesn't matter if there were hundreds of applicants. A simple automated "you weren't selected" is all that's needed. Getting ghosted after weeks of interviewing sucks.

On the flip side, I've ghosted someone once after they canceled an interview on me one too many times. It felt good, but I was absolutely being an asshole doing so.
The topic was clearly about dating, so why be condescending?

Good god this argument got so much worse. Think people on both sides of this are getting a little nuts. Personally I don't really like the idea of ghosting, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to condemn those who do it. It is obvious why many of them do it. They aren't all horrible human beings with no empathy.

Also, to be blunt, if being ghosted is so traumatic, maybe you aren't in a place to date. It's not that big of a deal. Now I don't mean if it happens in a relationship, that is clearly horrible. I mean that if you get ghosted and have only been messaging or had a simple date, just get over it.

Maybe the guys that stay on there are worse than the guys that are only on there for a bit, so it gets skewed away from average at any given point in time, even if those who have ever used it is normal. And this makes sense of course, because decent guys often find someone, whether through the app or in person, and therefore leave them.

I have had a few short relationships due to the apps and a 2 year one. I also have a couple of guy friends that are in current relationships due to the apps. And I have a close female friend of mine who just got married from a guy she met online.. What's funny is she was actually the 1st person I ever online dated but we ended up just becoming friends.

Edit: I know you like people. I see you give the benefit of the doubt despite your own experiences all the time

I don't get mad or anything, but most of the women I match with, put emphasis on how important communication is to them... so it's kind of like "practice what you preach?" lol

Yeah, I don't think ghosting after a single date is a huge deal. It's happened to me and I just moved on. For myself, I always communicated to women when not interested, but they have all responded politely. I know women have had many not-so-polite reactions.

And I don't even consider it ghosting if messaging simply stops before a date has even happened.

Luckily I can't think of anything truly bad. Maybe the day that my vacation plans got messed up by being dicked around by Air Canada. My gf and I got stuck in Montreal (not our final destination) and it was an exceedingly stressful day. But we made the most of it, changed our plans, and just spent a few days in Montreal. So the next few days were fun. The way we handled that together without ever arguing confirmed I should marry her. We are now engaged.

So a shitty day but it had a great sliver lining.

You really are a terrible person. Also, it is a lot higher than 1 in 6. That is the reported number. I know so many women who have been victims of assault (not just harrassment). Way more than 1 in 6 of my friends. Almost all of those were never reported. Also, I am in a fairly privileged social circle so if what @Gladius_ says about it being more prevalent in poorer and disenfranchised communities, then holy shit.
