With matchmaking dating sites being so accessible, they are populated by legions of people.

When there are this many people on any platform online, there are bound to be a number of people of poor behavior in the crowd.

Unbeknownst to you, some of the guys that send mean messages to you on dating sites are mere copies of guys you come across in your everyday life.

The guy that sat across from you on the bus or train you used this week.

The guy that was eating at the same deli or fast food restaurant you went to for lunch this week.

The guy who was using the ATM machine in front of you as you were waiting your turn.

These guys are everywhere, and you are oblivious to them because they don’t have the nerve to step up to your face and say mean words.

Instead, they go about their days like zombies.

He hates his boss and dreads seeing said boss whenever he is at work.

He hates and is envious of his coworkers, many of whom seem to have happy lives.

When he arrives home, he hates his roommates, all of whom don’t care all that much for him.

His life is monotonous and unrelenting in its misery.

Then he gets online.

He finds dating sites and gets lost in them.

On dating sites, he is a totally different person.

He doesn’t have the nerve to be mean to random women in his daily life, but on dating sites he is brimming with bravado.

In real life, he has no power.

On dating sites, he does.

He knows that there aren’t any dire repercussions in sending mean messages to random women on dating sites.

When he is on dating sites, he is empowered to unleash the unhappiness he undergoes in his everyday life on a random woman.

When he sees your dating profile, he is reminded of how much he hates his everyday life.

Not only does he hate what he does for work, his coworkers, boss, and roommates, he hates not having a girlfriend.

He doesn’t have a girlfriend because no girl in real life has the patience to deal with his antics.

If he has ever had a girlfriend, all he did was unload all of his unhappiness and emotional angst on her.

Inevitably, she became exasperated and dumped him.

Now, he is on a mobile dating site partly due to no girl in real life having the patience or tolerance to be at the receiving end of his emotional outbursts.

You are someone he gets to do that to online.

Even though you didn’t do anything to him, he sends you mean messages.

It’s not about anything you did.

This is all about him.

It’s natural to take this personally to an extent.

After all, you didn’t join a dating site to be insulted like this by random men.

Keep in mind that these men are motivated to send mean messages to you on account of their own personal shortcomings in the real world.

Knowing this, never get caught up in the drama.

Doing so only makes your time on dating sites aggravating, which has a negative effect of compelling you to stop online dating altogether.

This is unfair to you.

You have every right to use online dating sites to find who you are seeking without the constant worry of being insulted by random men.

Whenever you receive mean messages from these men, flag, block, and report their profiles.

This significantly reduces the number of these mean messages you receive from random men in the future, as their profiles are quickly removed by a reputable dating site.

Never take any of these mean messages personally.

They are a reflection of the man’s unhappiness with his own personal life.
