why skip one day your feeling can be different? i thought your original intention is to meet up with somebody?
for guys, its quantity over quality, you can't tell the quality unless you slept with them and spend more time together.
girls can be more choosy because they're gatekeeper of sex. You could afford to be choosier as a guy if you have achieved certain level of threshold.
personally, i don't text every single day, maybe i will follow up once of 2-3 days if she hasn't replied.
Because matches coming in every day. Hard to stay focus on one. I m a not pro that can chat with multiple women yet still can maintain the flow/conversation, what ever you call it. Is like once I find this new match interesting, I put the rest aside first. Then once my core match not unavailable, I will go back to those that I have put aside. Then again, the feeling sometime is no longer there… maybe I m a beginner.
Hence, sometimes 1-2 days or just late reply. Btw, I don’t think I m a player/jerk, cause I believe girl does that too…

I'm beginning to realise that apps that impose time limit aren't quite for me. I reply about once a day, usually going off grid until night when I finally pick up my phone after work.
I get what you mean by different feeling -- I have a feeling (ayy punny) I'm coming off as uninterested because I hardly reply immediately. On CMB, there were several exchanges that felt okay but they usually just expire and none bothered to extend. I don't, because I didn't feel connected enough to bother - it didn't seem they were trying harder (short replies) although I gave long replies (my way of "atoning" for my lack of reply frequency haha).
On the contrary, say, FB dating, I was allowed to focus irl and get to my messages later, and the chats don't expire. The
problem here is that the online exchange gets really long (read: weeks). To me, I take that as advantage because then we get to connect longer to a point it's comfortable for me to ask, "helloooo when are we meeting?"
I think it's a matter of preference; most guys who asked for my phone number or meet me on first exchange, ended up immediately ghosting/blocking me when I refused. They don't need to waste time on me, I don't need to risk my own comfort.
"Agree to disagree, have a nice day" kind of thing, I guess.
What do you mean by off grid? Means you:
1) logout from the app?
2) just read the msg that you receive and reply later
3) Didn’t bother about the app , just leave the notification there only
