What happened to this site?

So i joined this site back in 2013
And used to be called alternative hookups
Anyway it was easy then to make friends and meet people. Now 10 yrs later i find that alot of people on here are more shallow and will just plain ignore you even if i try to be nice and friendly. I have even been catfished on here. One girl straight up told me that i was a sappy boy who should worship her. I mean wtf!. I feel discouraged to even message anybody. I just dont understand the point of this site anymore. Just saying that this is a dating site so treat it as that

Neons got it. Plus dude, alt chick's are wack (just my experience, haven't dated a decent one yet, 0 for 4). Pretty much 99 percent people of all people these days are wack, no matter what box you stick em in. Frankly, the people I can't stand the most would probably consider themselves alternative. There are exceptions to the wackness of course. I have met a few cool people on here, but the digging to do it is difficult my friend. The best thing to do, imo, is just s**t post on the forum, and find the people you like that way. That's what's worked for me.

I joined a few months ago out of curiosity, but eh...I don't expect to meet anyone to have a relationship with here. I have had a few good chats through my inbox with some potential friends, though. Honestly, a lot of guys who message me come off as "try hards" which isn't very appealing to me. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Oh yeah, I could see the guys from here just being generally so f**king unappealing, that I wouldn't really want to find someone from here, and or it would be tough to stick around the forum.

As far as try hards go, care to elaborate?

I'd like to pose a question as well. I've been noticing for years, I'll state my name, what I like to do, and at the top of that list is making music. I get written off as a phony all the time, but irl and online. But... I actually do make music... of like, a s**t ton of genres. I am an actual musician/DJ. So, would that be something you see as being "try hard"?... because IL a lot of guys front about it. s**t... I've even seen some women front about it.

There's another problem I'd like to discuss too, but let's stick with this for now.

I get what you mean by try hards... It puts me off too,if a guys too available to keen I'm just like get away from me.. but on the other hand it's shows there really into you.

By "try-hard," I mean the messages I get sound like they played too many Kingdom Hearts or similar video games and picked and chose some lines from the villains to sound cool. They don't seem like they're acting like themselves, it feels like they're acting like what they *think* I like. I should say not *all* the messages I've gotten from guys here are like that, but certainly enough.

To your next question: Personally, no. If someone says they enjoy something (like making music), I'm not going to overanalyze it. The only way I'd call someone in this scenario a phony is if I actually got to know them and realized they didn't actually know anything about making music. However, I would have to be interested in someone to want to hang out with them.

Sorry you're having crappy experiences, dude.
I tend to agree with the other comments on here.
Many people in general have gotten really shallow (any "dating site" is like that I am afraid)
Most women-no matter their appearance or musical tastes are crazy 🤣 It's in our DNA I believe.
There are decent people out there and yes, it's frustrating AF to find them.
I too, am also curious to know what "try hards" means.

Ok, I could both of those things happening often. I think I may have a bit of thee opposite problem, like, I'm so me, right out the gate that it can put people off. I've tried to ease that up over the years, because it doesn't translate well via text, in person, it's fine, but text, it doesn't carry.

As far as the music things concerned, I've had people, listening to my music... in person, and flat out say, "I can't believe you do production." Or that they only half think it's actually mine. When we were teenagers, and recording something decent wasn't nearly as easy as today, people flat out called me a liar to my face. I guess, in writing this, I've realized I should take it as a compliment. I've had lady friends tell me that guys will often use that kinda thing to look cool, but don't know s**t.

The other thing I wanted to bring up, is how often, as a dude, I'm expected to come up with the most enthralling conversation ever, right out the gate, with almost nothing to go off of, and someone not really interacting back, not asking questions etc. I'm farely adept at talking about just about anything, there's artform to that, ask questions, get curious, pose theories, ideas or concepts, etc. I'm guessing they just decided they weren't interested right away, but still answered the message?... If that's the case, I'd rather be left on read 🤣.

And for a lot of thee altscene fellas out there, take the f**kin hint, lol. Of course, most of them won't be reading this.

I'll speak more on your comment. So... I thought most of the time women find it unattractive to look like you give too much a s**t? My last gf loved that I was madly in love with her from the get go, but she was seriously... seriously f**ked up I found out... I was about to post more on that, but, nah.

You're welcome Dr. Sus!


You dudes have it pretty rough, I think we can all attest to that. There's give and take and take to this.
Flat out, thinking of things to say to a stranger is hard. Small talk is a good place to start and it's super crappy if the person on the other end is not engaging-even a little.
The question remains: if you're on a site as such, why not engage with people?
This forum is pretty cool, I will say that.

Totally though, just don't respond if you're not interested. It's discouraging to the sender to reply with zero effort.

Thank you!

But even then... then I often hear, "Small talk is so boring."

Well then wtf do you want from me?!!?🤣🤣🤣🤣😝😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤯

I'm thr type that will tell anyone... anything... right away, I understand that most aren't that open, but there's gotta be some willingness to meet me in the middle. Then... every so often, I find my gem of a person, but they're no where near me location wise 😄😄😄.

I used to even offer strangers the chance to ask me... anything... 1 question, as personal as they'd want, and I'd answer it.. you'd be surprised at how f**kin weak those questions would be, if they'd ask anything at all...

@Sus: I think it's quite silly to argue with a person as to what their interests are or aren't, which is why I don't question people when they tell me what their interests are. I'm sorry people question yours, but if they're going to do that, they're probably not worth knowing.

For me, I don't expect anything groundbreaking in my inbox. However, when I *do* engage with those who send simplistic messages like "hi" or "hey," I often find myself putting in all the effort in having a decent conversation while the guy continues to give simple answers. That's why I tend not to answer those types of messages. I *am* more likely to answer messages from those who make an effort to look at my profile and use something in it as a conversation starter. But I understand that some here (and other dating sites) don't give much to start on.

Maybe it's more of a thing that happens here... I won't go into it, but I could see that being some bulls**t line, that guy attempt to impress ladies here. I digress... this place has the mentality of a guy who drives a big truck or fast car to compensate...

I can understand not engaging with hi, or hey, I for the most part stopped sending messages here a long time ago, hence the lack of pics on my profile. If I do msg someone, I offer to put few up for a bit, as to be courteous. I truly wonder if people are becoming duller.... and duller... and duller.... I blame the gram 😄😄😄

Shame you can't send voice message like other sites, it's more personal and gets Convo going

I usually just ask about something I've read in their profile to get things going

Ikr! I definitely start bettering ny chances of having either a friend, or companion if i can enunciate my words.

See, and that's where i think it could just.. be me. Or my profile, especially here. All ya'll sad girls out there can't take a joke, when if people eould just ask... theyd find me to be highly sympathetic to mental health. I work in it ffs. So, could just be me, because I try to chat it up about what they're into. I also find it suprising how many people don't do s**t.

So tbh im not very good at talking to women in general. When i see a profile that catches my eye i usually message the person and speak on if theres something that is common interest. I dont ever want to come off as try hard or creepy. I do need advice because honestly i join sites like this cuz im too nervous to meet women in person and i dont want to keep setting myself up for failure

Nothing wrong with finding common ground in messages. And just be confident. You can always message first and see how and where it goes. It takes a lot of patience and time tbh.

Momento - it’s sad if your always alone you should find friends that can be trusted spend time together. If this is no good then your family can do the rest. My IPhones XR is always with me cause I have a music collection in it so
