It’s almost 2019 and it appears little has changed on Tinder.
Because hurling insults after getting rejected obviously doesn't help one’s chances of getting a date -- after being so hostile.
Ghosted guy
A Singaporean woman named Pearl has claimed that she was verbally abused over Tinder, after ghosting a guy.
She claimed she first matched with a Caucasian guy on the Tinder dating app on Nov. 12.
Started out normally
It started out innocently enough.
Pearl continued the conversation, and gave him her number to arrange a meet-up.
Contact cut
However, due to work commitments and an overseas work trip of his that would last a few weeks, it didn't work out.
Pearl felt that the conversation was dying after a while, and since there was a lack of chemistry, she decided to delete his number.
Escalation
Pearl didn't hear from her match for a few weeks.
But he sent her a message out of the blue that read, "hi pearl ar u in Singapore."
She didn't respond, but he tried calling her at around 8pm and 1.20am later that night.
The next day, he sent her another message asking why she didn't respond.
Pearl was annoyed that he couldn't take a hint at being ignored and that he called her late at night, and blocked his Singapore number.
More abuse
But that wasn't the last she heard from him.
The man then sent her a number of abusive texts from another phone with a foreign-registered number:
Talk about sour grapes.
Do not owe him a response
As with most Tinder post-rejection abuse, the women on the receiving end only have one message that they want the men to know: It is nothing personal.
It is just that the women have the right to reject anyone they don't like and that the men are not entitled to women's company.
No matter how insistent the men can be.
