I have no idea what men want.

just as another perspective - as often as I can I offer a quick explanation. I've even had guys who extend the match or super like me who I didn't think I was a match with, and if they seemed safe and I had the bandwidth - I'd let them know why. But sometimes I do just unmatch without explanation after a short convo. The reasons I would do that are because it takes a lot of energy and effort to open yourself up to that conversation which doesn't always end well (You could get someone being defensive or screaming at you, whatever it is) - having to do this A LOT, is exhausting and then I don't have energy for the conversations that are actually going somewhere. And then I just get burnt out from OLD, and give up entirely. So for the amount of conversations and activity going on, to give explanations each time is too much and sometimes we do have to set our own boundaries to take care of ourselves. I'm sometimes also dealing with other stuff and don't have the bandwidth to do this, especially if the convo was very short, and there is zero emotional investment thus far.
