People who are genuinely looking for a relationship partner are cautious about giving out very personal information on a very public platform.
Leaving a phone number on a dating profile is something that simply isn’t done by most people who are genuinely looking for a relationship or even a genuine hookup.
In general, people already have an internal defense mechanism, especially when they are online.
You are not the only one who has googled someone that you met on an online dating site only to be welcomed with news articles about the person and their alleged crime, with a photo of their mugshot to match.
It takes you by surprise.
Until your shocking discovery, the person was the perfect conversationalist.
That many divorces could mean that you are dealing with a person who isn’t learning from their mistakes or is a serial wedder.
Living in a country with a high divorce rate where 1 in 2 first marriages ends in divorce, it wouldn’t be unusual for a person to go through one divorce.
The way that they react to being unmatched by someone that they had absolutely no conversations with versus someone that they were talking to for weeks is totally different.
When its someone that they had no form of correspondence with, most people can handle being unmatched without incident.
