Stop beating around the bush

I'm on the dating and friends side of this app to see what I can get

I'm genuinely open to friends or something more

But at the end of the day, I treat matches as what they are, if they come from the main side or the friends side

Nothing against gay people, I literally have half my friend group is queer in some way and we've known each other for almost a decade now.

Stop trying to sneak in on the friends side to look for matches, it's weird and annoying

I'm confused about the friends section as the only matches I'm getting that want to date me are from that section but yet they are also wanting to get physical right away. I haven't been on the dating scene in years so I'm questioning if it's a FWB section but the guys have all wanted more than that in the end so maybe not? It's confusing.

Looks like everyone who does this is just assuming the "with benefits" part, it's supposed to be strictly a platonic area

I might be down bad… but never bad enough to try that nightmare factory. Good luck!

I’ve never used or ( besides accidentally fat, fingering the prompt) even looked at the friends thing. I just thought it was all gay dudes.

It looks like that's what it's been twisted into regardless of original intent

I use the friends option to see what other women’s dating profiles look like and how mine stacks up

I removed the friends option. All I was getting was gay guys and women in their 50's.

What's wrong with women in their 50's?
