A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You are not wrong. There seems to be a similar level of responses too.
Dating apps got so much worse too. A couple of years ago i would always get a bunch of matches and maybe a third of them would actually be interested to talk. Now i get like a match a month or so and it's mainly for attention. Yeah sorry i'm not gonna wait a few days to get a "yes" back.
Definitely. I've had more jobs through applications (2) than dates through apps (0) ^^ The best I've got was an extended conversation with a guy who seemed kind
You're talking to guys AND not getting dates? I need to rethink my worldview
i get what you're saying, you match with other guys all the time but being on one wavelength with one is a different story. i guess i just wasn't made for these apps.
For me it’s the exact opposite. Job applications are the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing what it must be like to be a woman on online dating.
