So I have just been dealing with life lately. Car troubles, paying bills etc. I signed up for tinder 2 months ago and after swiping right to close to 150 women, I finally get a match. She is 44 and her profile pretty much says she doesn't like people that lie about their height and that she is gainfully employed and has no kids. Her name is Micki. I wait 2 days until after we match and then send her "I am sorry guys lie about their height. I am a little taller than 6'6 with shoes on." This just happened so I am typing it now while it's still fresh in my memory. She replies with haha they wear cowboy boots to seem taller and always lie. I say that reminds me of a Seinfeld episode were George wear Timberlands around his gf all the time because he was wearing them when he met her and wants to keep up the illusion. She says lol I haven't seen that one. She is 5'6 and so I ask what is short to her and she replies with 5'9 or shorter. I reply with I will never be that short even if I shrink in my old age. I then ask her if her last name is mouse and she says lol she has never gotten that before and usually says guys refer to the song.
I ask her how her week went and she tells me Fridays are the most hectic for her and that she already has been in 4 meetings and has 5 more to go. I reply with oh wow we can chat later if that is better for you. She replies with, right now is good because chatting with you keeps me from cussing out people here and that booze is frowned upon. I type that booze at 1030 am would raise red flags and that calling the people cotton headed ninnie muggins would not be good for morale. She types ELF and that she just watched it with her nephew. I typed nice you get a point and we discuss the movie for a couple minutes.
Then she asks me what do you do for a living? I type that the CIA would let me divulge too much info but I can tell you that I moonlight as a chip n dales dancer. 10 mins go by and then she types creepy. I say lol it would be creepy and nah, I am not Chris Farley so I can't pull that off. She types, so you aren't gonna tell me what you do for a living? I type that I don't have one set thing I do. I want to become a musician and maybe get into tv commercials but do sales/installation/surveys to pay bills for now.
Without typing anything, she deletes the match. Conversation over. My first Tinder match and it's all gone because the what do you do question. I thought things were going fine but obviously, she didn't like my answer to that question. I know I know, women will swear up and down that they don't care what you do for a living but obviously, this women cared big time.
Anyways, this is just more proof that dating is not something I should try to be apart of. Swiping right for around 150 and only having 1 match is pathetic in the first place but to finally get a match only to get it deleted because I didn't have the job she liked apparently is lame. I know I know, you don't want to be with a person like that anyway but man, it still does suck. Oh well. I hope you had a good week and your weekend goes well.

I've never understood the musician thing. If you play an instrument, great. But too many claim to be musicians when really they should stick to the cowbell.

Paid musician?
Let's face it -- most men/women do not want to have to support another adult.
The fact that you ARE a musician is great, but - she meant income!

This only proves you're an idiot and have no game, join the Bruce club now and start whining about the rejections you yourself caused...the woman asked you a basic question and you answered it like a cretin. Don't try humor unless you're good at it being cocky or have a back up plan. The trick to date sites is very simple...don't spend hours and hours online attempting to find matches and go for the meet ASAP. She already told you she's sick of liars and losers...you simply became one. What seems like a match online usually isn't...you find truth once face to face with someone and when you interact in the real world. Ads are just marketing mostly filled with BS...go after the ones that seem reasonable who don't spend their life on social networks and stop being depressing.

I told her how I pay the bills. She has no idea how much I make in sales or from installation or surveys. Women want men that are passionate about things. I told her how I pay bills and what I am passionate about. Obviously, I failed the test. I can't believe trying to get to know someone is this difficult. I understand a musician is meaningless if they don't make money but just what is a paid musician? If I get $5 in tips from playing a song, I am technically a paid musician. I know I know, a real musician is in a successful band and gets paid millions and tours all around the world. Obviously, my passion and dream that women want men to have is not acceptable to her. I get it. I am just tired of hearing how a man's career/income doesn't matter. It's total bull.

It's true ... most men and women try to say it does not matter, but really - it does.
When I was young, it mattered a lot - and I admit it. Now that I'm older, I just don't want to pay HIS bills along with mine.
Good point about the $5 tip -- but yes, you knew what I meant.
She may have had a bad experience with musicians, and some baggage. Try not to give up!

She's 44 and at that age and stage of our lives the security and stable factor has to be there.
Your age combined with the fact that you are still trying to 'become' is shaky ground and cause for doubt.

Like I have stated many times before, I have messaged almost 250 women off this site. 3 replies, 2 of which where thanks but you are not my type. The other messaged me back with the question what do you do? No hi, or even answering the question I asked her about one of her pictures.

But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playing
And we just can't find the sound
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't our home
I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
Beth I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
Cause me and the boys will be playing all night

HB,
Have you tried Match or EHarmony?
I was on match in my early 20's. Same result. LOL at paying for Eharmony. If I can't get a a date from tinder or DH or a free site or real life, no way in hell I would be able to get one from a paid site were people are looking for marriage. I just need a better job or to start lying. I don't really even care about going on dates or having a relationship. They are responsibilities I don't want or need right now. It would just be nice not to get shot down so quickly when the job topic comes up which tends to happen right away. It's not really the rejection because I am numb to it by now. It's the reason behind it. She didn't state in her profile that she is looking for a guy that is as gainfully employed as she is. I don't even know what gainfully employed means anyway.
It's fine if she doesn't want to get to know a musician or someone in sales but I have a picture of me with a guitar as one of my profile pics and it states that I like to sing and play guitar. Did she maybe only see that I was 6'6 and didn't read the rest and only looked at my main pic? If so, that's pretty cool since most women here say they read a profile and look at all his pic. The sudden delete was just another rejection story to add to my repertoire haha.

I MAKE MY OWN MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what the sales/installation is for. I understand how my answer disgusted her. I really do. I just thought the conversation was going fine up until then which only furthers my point.
I once saw this absolutely gorgeous blonde on line complaining about liars and losers also...this was my first message to her roughly.
"WOW...you have a Sony big screen TV in one of your photos...any chance we can watch it together.
Her basic response:
Lol...are you crazy.
My response:
Yes...maybe for you.
It then moved on from there...in a few hours we met for coffee. Not all situations are like this...however remove the need to explain assets/possessions/wealth and focus on her. You start competing with others considering your attitude you'll lose each time and never find anyone. Your negativity is your own worse enemy and inability to relax thinking every woman wants to pry your wallet away from you. I NEVER pay for first dates and this isn't a necessity. There's a reason guys like Bruce are lonely/depressed/bitter...they're total idiots. Knowing 90% of the women on here are worthless pick better sites by learning how to use them with some confidence...yet in the real world is where you'll have better luck. Don't try to please every woman you come across or whine...it's the wrong road to take.

HB dude,

Not at all. The 40 times I have asked women out in person, I am always very confidant. I approached them 100% believing I would get their number and or a date. 0 for 40 but the confidence was definitely there.
I don't mean to come across as poor pitiful me. I have actually looked back at a lot of my rejections and laughed. I will most likely laugh off this one soon. I am just amazed how difficult it is to actually get to know a person. The series of questions you need to pass boggles my mind. I get that this 44 year old was not for me. I understand it's all a numbers game and that billions of women have access to billions of men and since she is a good looking woman, she probably has 100 other matches so she is obviously going to chat with and meet the guys that have jobs/careers she likes and approves of. Makes perfect sense. Like I stated previously, I just wish women were HONEST about it is all. I guess that's too much to ask for though.

OP - You should NOT try dating...until you become employed, are proud of the work you do, and are ready to be open, and honest about it. Being unemployed is bad enough. Being unemployed, and evasive about it, is far worse. Being unemployed, evasive about it, and dishonest about it, is cause for dumping. Many women do not care what you do...as long as you do something, and have some kind of income, so you won't be constantly sponging off of them for food, rent money, gas money, etc. Maybe the woman you are whining about did care about you not working. Maybe she did not care about that, but did care that you were dishonest about it. You will never know, because you did not tell her the truth. Since you lied about such a basic thing, so early in the relationship, you would probably continue lying about all other things for as long as any relationship lasted....which is why she ended it. That is YOUR fault, for having been dishonest...not her fault for caring whether you were employed, or not.
Next time, be honest. If unemployed, admit it, and say that you are looking for work, that you are mainly an auto mechanic (or whatever you do), but that you will do anything, and that you have two job interviews lined up for next week. If you are a burger flipper, say so. I once managed to date a millionaire while I was on Disability after being injured on the job. I had been a cop, and a paramedic, and was training to be a locksmith. I was honest about it all, and the woman I was communicating with appreciated my honesty, and the fact that I had some meager income, so I would not be asking her to pay all of my bills, pay for all of our dates, etc. Being dishonest, and stupidly so, tends to be a turn off...as you learned the hard way.

She's 44 and at that age and stage of our lives the security and stable factor has to be there.
At 44 it should already be there...
Yeah kawk-I wasn't talking about her.
I was referring to the perceived reason of her turning him down.

So knowing it's a numbers game online why defeat yourself with your negative attitude or loser approach, if online dating isn't for you work on your real life approach when it comes to women and don't go after females who are not compatible...rejections don't exist and after only one date it's absurd to see it in this manner. It only depresses you making you more bitter and incapable of finding someone. If you have confidence as you say you do use it and just change your style since you're going no where fast.

Stupidity: Doing exactly the same thing over and over and over, and believing a different outcome will happen.

This applies to the ladies as well.
They always say it in reference to women. But men have to do the same.

That is moronic advice, with the state of the economy do you know how many individuals are actually unemployed and stopping to date won't solve anything if you base everything on money...while you look for work, get educated or similar you may actually find someone with your defenses down and be more happy in the process if you get rid of the negative loser attitude. Dates don't need to be expensive and even a simple walk in the park can eventually produce love and romance. Materialistic individuals usually never find romance and love even with all their money/fine jobs and once you stop living you also stop growing.

OP - It is impossible to get well acquainted with someone who lies about who, and what, they are. Unless your music is selling well on iTunes like sites, you are not a professional enough musician to claim 'Musician' as a job title. The fact that your friends had to tell you to claim to be a musician proves that you are not musician enough to qualify for the title. Many far better musicians than you are broke, and starving, so why would any gainfully employed woman-who has a credit rating, and wants to keep it-ever consider dating a musician who is not in the Top 40? Forget what your friends tell you. Get a job, and be honest about what it is. BTW - Even the top selling musicians are no fun to date. They blow all of their money on cars, drugs, booze, and other women, and are notorious cheats even when married. They also tend to be very violent. Think about: James Brown, Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Mick Jagger, etc, and you will soon see why sane women won't want to date even successful musicians....let alone unsuccessful ones. You may as well claim to have AIDS as to call yourself a "musician".
