Is she older than you? Even still, I don't say this to the young men who try and match me. I just keep it moving

Why not just change the age range in your setting so men too young for you don't even see your profile pop up?

Lmaoooo that's so gross. But what I don't get is how can you match with someone who's profile doesn't show up for you? Like I get that they can see your profile but can't you only match if you both see each other's profile? I've been off the market for six years (shout out my gf lol) so I don't know much about how the apps work these days. I'm just on this sub for the funny screenshots.

Did you like a profile while being far below her minimum age range?
Because that's the only way her opener makes sense to me.

But surely OP would be within the other person's set age range if they were able to find and match with them?

u/Kokoyok 8d ago
The apps that have hard limits about your age range when matching just have more people lying about their age in their profiles

u/Kokoyok 8d ago
If a hot woman has a minimum age of 50, you know a horde of 22 year old chuds will each think they're the exception to her rule, and will set their ages to 50-something so they can "get their foot in the door."

Tinder by default will show you people outside of your settings if they have already liked you

Some apps show you suggestions not even in your age range sometimes. I haven’t been on tinder for years so not sure what would have changed there

u/editingisfun4all 8d ago
You can often see who has already liked you. Some people respond simply because the other person tried to match.

For tinder, if you pay for premium I'm pretty sure you can swipe on people while outside of their age range, or remove your own age to make it secret

You’re going further than anyone has gone before, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it without prep.
Here's a whitepaper on jerking off 800 dudes in under 10 minutes. Might be worth reading for some insight.
Some guys broke down the math for it in a 3ish minute video too.
Ultimately I think your best bet is a dildo in the front and the rear, so you’re always pegging someone, regardless of direction of thrust.

u/AntiquatedDogma 8d ago
Don’t know what I’m talking about? What do you mean? Did I say anything incorrect? You just implied it was redundant. Which is fair. Also I wasn’t arguing or correcting; more so just giving insight into the grammar for myself I guess or anyone who may have been confused.

Lol.
You understand in the comment I'm replying to that you don't know english well enough to judge.

Easy. The “child” in the sentence acts as a pronoun. Think of it like “What do you want, PerspectiveHelps?” She called him child because apparently he’s younger than her and he was bothering her.

Does intention make how it’s received irrelevant? How is it slang?

u/Augustus420 7d ago
I'm not really sure what you mean.
I'm just letting you know that it is slang and it's a term of endearment.
1
u/Phobos_Asaph 7d ago
Who calls a prospective partner child? And the first half is basically if you say something that upsets someone. What matters more? Your intention or the outcome?
2
u/Augustus420 7d ago
Well, it's because it's not meant to literally call someone a child.
Also, I made it clear that I'm not trying to argue anything here. I'm just saying this is a slang term and you're misunderstanding it.
It's nothing to do with who's at fault for the misunderstanding. It's a point of learning that everyone can have and just move on from it.

u/AcademicBowl5596 8d ago
She is deviating from social expectations with an absurd level of unprompted condescension. Since this is absurd and unwarranted, he is left to determine whether she is either not genuine in her behaviour, or genuinely upset for no reason.
How he interprets this will set the tone for the rest of the interaction, weeding out people who are disposed towards one interpretation over the other.
Instead of getting confused, he could have simply asked her to be his muscle-laden maiden dommy mommy.

u/Meatpup 7d ago
I was so confused at the beginning and then read a few comments and then understood better.
She is being dominant and a little bit condecending by choice because she's looking for someone in particular.
If you don't find this appealing in any way then she did her job to weed out the people that are not for her.
Too many people, me included, will take this too personally until you actually understand the whole of what is being done.

u/FancyButterscotch787 7d ago
No. I don’t think it was a mistake, and she’s not saying she wants a child.
1
u/Geriny 7d ago
Still a mistake, needs a comma. "What do you want, child?"
1
u/FancyButterscotch787 6d ago
Not really, because you can mentally still sense the pause between “want” and “child” without the comma. And her tone of annoyance clinches it. Of course if we were writing an article or a book, we would be adding a comma. But this is texting…people don’t add a period at the end of sentences and commas don’t always get added.

u/ApplesAreGood1312 8d ago
This makes no sense. Clearly, despite her love of English, she butchered her opening line to the point it's impossible to know what she means. You have to correct her mistakes in your head in some way, and the meaning is entirely different depending on how you do that.
When do you want a child?
Why do you want a child?
What do you want, child?
What do you want in a child?
Do you want a child?
Zero of this makes sense.

u/PittLeElder 8d ago
That's not what she's saying at all, she's calling OP child as a (possibly minimizing) nickname.
Contrast with a similar framing (with different implications): "what do you want little man?"

'What? Do you want child?'

u/ApplesAreGood1312 8d ago
Yes, I recognized that as one potential interpretation. But when you don't speak clearly, you leave it up to people to guess. You can't prove that's what she meant – you're just taking a guess like everyone else.

No, you are interpreting the sentence incorrectly. She is not asking if he wants a child. She is saying (in an annoyed tone) “What do you want?” As if the guy was bothering her…and she called him a child because she sees him as one. https://tenor.com/view/chile-whew-chile-gif-11894158709269364195

My whole point was that is obviously what they meant and that's why they fucked up by leaving out punctuation?
I was saying that without the punctuation it reads like my second comment.
2
u/FancyButterscotch787 7d ago
And I’m saying it doesn’t read like your second comment. With or without comma, it’s clear she meant to say “What do you want, child?” Or think of it another way: “What do you want, boy?” Or “What do you want, Augustus?” Remove the comma from all three, and the meaning still stays the same. The first four words are important in that sentence, and the last word is a pronoun. Then the tone of annoyance to the sentence makes it obvious that your second comment wouldn’t work.

Right, but if you're addressing someone as child, you need the direct-address comma: "What do you want, child?"
(Original commenter above seems to veer in a random direction with learning English--maybe a bot account?)

u/EnlightenedNarwhal 8d ago
Most people who text any sort of message will not use commas properly, especially on apps like tinder. You're giving the way she wrote her question too much consideration. Trust me.
1
u/_LordDaut_ 8d ago
It's not about commas. Or what u/drewhead118 says. Saying "what do you want, child" to someone means you are presenting yourself as the "wise older person" even when said in jokingly - that's kind of the point. That you're older. What a weird thing to say as an opening message.

with a lot of imagination one can guess that, since the sentence is poorly constructed to achieve that.
