there's different level of judgment when it comes to different races etc. Hence, an asian can easily stand out in Malaysia when he's not shy/introverted cause his soul can be free. People who are nervous or depressed are not connected to the source.

Let’s not jump to conclusions too hastily my young friend. Just because one prefers to listen rather than enunciate in no way or manner makes him nervous or depressed. In fact, it can easily be said that loose talk is an attempt to mask one’s lack of self confidence. Context and circumstances are essential.

there's a subtle check when someone is listen with clarity versus listening with no options because he or she doesnt know how to game but had to be people pleasing fake listening

Ah, but how would you know? Or do you judge every quiet listener to be a fool?

you engage with your heart or intuition to witness a person potential
being stubborn with the mind doesnt help
the mind can be effective at stating a certain direction or steps
but overanalyzing, is breaking the flow of life

Ok, you got me there. I fear the chasm is too wide for me to traverse, between you waxing philosophy and my limited ability to read between your lines.

your sixth sense will guide you when you're in present moment engaging with a person. And our mind will starting label a person whether he or she is XYZ element, and in accordance to that, we will do certain actions or find evidences to justify our original judgment is correct

Its unspoken beauty when you witness a person or matter and not judge completely (it can be difficult thing to do when a person mind is racing to nowhere)

I too oftentimes am puzzled by how unfathomable his replies appear. Perhaps I'm shallow and naive and therefore ill-equipped to dissect and discern the so-called knowledge so casually dropped by his replies. Or he's just trying to string together a series of random words to make himself sound sophisticated, but actually leaving behind a hurricane's wreck of unintelligible quasi-pseudo-philosophical mumble-jumble masquerading as words of wisdom.

Your guess is as good as mine.

You’re not alone, his reply always “I’ve done this and I won” or “You just a coward” even though we told him about our trauma due to previous experiences.

Maybe the kind MLM pseudo-philosophical salesman talk would work on a certain subset of women who would fall over themselves thinking the person some suave international man of mystery….

Anyway, no foul committed, no harm done. Just some friendly forum pondering by puzzled readers, that’s all.

Most probably, each time we post something in CC he be here sharing his “success” of hitting random girls, train station, mall, parks or events. Instead helping or sharing useful information he’ll bash us, like his comment above. Logically speaking, we dudes better off not talking to some random girls UNLESS asking for directions or anything important. Nowadays people are paranoid about almost anything, that unknowingly could’ve put us into serious trouble.

Maybe that’s the kind of girls that go for that kind of person. I mean, I know of a particular word in the lexicon of my not inconsiderable vocabulary that describes girls like that, but my mother taught me that if I have nothing good to say about someone, I shouldn’t say it at all.

Having used CMB for quite some time now, I'd say that this app is definitely making a lot of money from us. It'd purposely hide some of the ppl who have liked us even though we are paid users.

I also noticed that 70% of the guys on this app are scammers so why bother paying just to see scammers liking our profile? Lol

As for the other 30% of the users who are actual humans, some of them already have a gf/ wife or just looking for ONS/ attention/ validation. Dating apps are no longer serving their purpose anymore. Can't wait to delete this app once my subscription has ended.

Personally i did encountered few scammers with fake profile, i'll list it.

1. Pig butcher scam - First few chat all get to know each other, then they will share you their "investment" scheme.
2. Wine scam - I believe you saw this kind of scam from social media and even LYN here, matched foreign lady like china or taiwan. They will insist to go dine in their "friend" place, order shitty wine then you have to pay for it like RM1000+ per bottle.

All these scammer, they do have social media profile but only got few friends, few post with 1 or 2 likes, followed by 300+ people but they only follow 10 people.

I did dated a few legit lady, sadly it didn't work as we both not into each other.

I hope you've deleted this dating app. Using it is a complete waste of time. Better meet ppl in real life.

Last weekend i was lepak with some friends, you know typical blow water session. Then we talk about dating apps, sharing our experience etc. I do have use dating apps, since i'm single so why not right?

We all know that dating apps works by both party liking each other, you like me then i like you and we matched then we chat then see how far we can go. The apps will blurred those who liked us, in order to see who those people are or more accurately to see if the other person are attractive or no, the apps requires you to subscribe.

One of my friends came out with this theory or whatever you guys called it, if you did not subscribe then chances of you getting likes are quite high if you at least looks average. that is how the apps fish or tricks us to subscribe. And after we subscribed, we got less to no likes. I did subscribe to CMB once, and i noticed my friend here is right. No subscribe, i get like 10 likes with my shit face. But then when i subscribe to see those ladies, our conversation just died not long after even with casual or normal conversation. Even met some scammers on the way, you know those pig butcher scam like we see over the internet and even here in LYN got some people sharing their experience.

Oh yes i did get 1 or 2 dates, but it didn't work out and they just ghosted me. I can see they just suddenly lost interest even though i'm trying to keep the conversation alive, could be because i got a shit face.

So what do you think of this? Is dating apps just focus on making money instead of really helping people to make some friends or get a date? Share your experience as well.

I never tried dating apps, never had, and never will.

The one time I did was through WeChat. But that's all. I'm all about being real.

I fancy real-world communication. And if I like you and you like me, I'll be out in the open to ask to go out sometimes.

Cybersecurity-wise, it's well-known that apps are being sold if it becomes obsolete, or when the corporate becomes bankrupt; this is seen in 23AndMe bankruptcy for their DNA database and customer info. It's the same as how dating apps will be. Besides, you will never know how corrupt some firms are ---- if they are hacked into, they may not even announce it and you will never know if it's leaked out.
