Maybe Prince Charming Left the Chat

May 14 2026

What’s with all the man-hating posts lately? 🤔 I know there are some absolute walking red flags out there, but if we’re all here hoping to find a decent bloke… maybe roasting the entire male population 24/7 isn’t the best marketing strategy for attracting Prince Charming. Hang around the chat rooms long enough and you’ll see bad behaviour comes from both sides of the aisle. Turns out men and women are equally capable of being chaos goblins. 😅 It’s definitely not all men. I’ve actually met some genuinely lovely guys on here — respectful, polite, funny, and just all-round good humans. Shocking, I know. But honestly, how do the good men feel reading posts that basically lump them in with every dodgy dude who’s ever sent an unsolicited “hey sexy”? 🤦‍♀️

    I agree wholeheartedly. I have spoken to a couple of guys on this platform and have only had 1 ghost me after 4 weeks of chatting and after a meet and greet was already booked in. (Gotta say that really sucked) All the other guys have been good on here to talk to so far. Guess I am just lucky then so far. Bri

    If someone offers you 100 identical pieces of chocolate but 10 are poison and you aren’t allowed to know which ones are, will you still eat accept and eat them all?

    It’s often a frustration but what is rarely done about it? Let me give an example: One of my long time girlfriends was piping up about this to me one night. Same shit but a bottle and a half of red wine so it was raw and sweary. I just asked her (being a bit of a prick and knowing she hadn’t done it); “What was it like when you had a paid account and were messaging men you’d searched for?” Blank look. No, a confused look akin to a toddler being asked their views on Saudi politics. It’s like - walk in someone else’s shoes then judge them. It’ll change the thinking and likely lead to different outcomes and mindset.

    Ohhh glad someone raised this 💓💥 I don't know how the men feel.. I'm finding it annoyingly tedious 😂 I've been lurking and biting my tongue. I think by the 7th complaining post.. from the same person - seems pretty apparent there's an agenda, some bating being employed, perhaps drama being pursued. And perhaps not much of any achieved - hence the need to bash, chastise and lecture further in yet another post 🙄 Or perhaps not the awareness to know that the vast majority of said 'offenders' don't peruse the forums. The points (some of them) being raised are quintessentially common and so it is warranted to raise certain situations/ circumstances in trying to understand dynamics or norms... However it's the wrathful indulgent 'tone' I'm rather bemused by. This much I know... The energy we give out 'generally' shapes many of our interactions. Of course there are unsavory outliers. There's a lot to be said about emotional maturity and entitled behavior (from both genders) - but I can definitely see why little effort might be directed to certain accounts (both ways) 🩷✌️

    Tbh I kind of enjoy it. It’s like those Days of Our Lives shows - you know exactly how it’s going to play out but there’s nothing else interesting on TV and the gratuitous scenes aren’t too bad for a hot little perve.

    Both men and women can be obnoxious, entitled and sleazy. However, how men react to married women is different to how they react towards single women. Men will always pussy foot around attached women because they have to placate their other half, whereas they dont give the same level of respect to single women. I see it in the chat room any given night. However, it sorts out the sleazy guys from the decent ones.

    Prince Charming may be out there, that much is true, But some toads swear the crown belongs to them too. Good men don’t shout, they simply appear, polite, consistent and refreshingly sincere. As for the rest with the “hey sexy” messages, a crown doesn’t fit just because they bought a gold hat. Ms Foxy

    I would like to share an instance where I have felt proud of single men on RHP. I have exchanged a few messages with a single girl, then I told her your profile is not verified, so I won’t be sending my pics or not looking for any unverified profiles. She replied-What’s the problem with you guys!! This is the third guy telling “not interested” in me just coz of my profile is “not verified” !!!! I was like good job guys 🤣🤣🤣

    Out of the hundreds of messages, I’ve blocked 3 ppl. Almost every other guy I’ve chatted to and met have been fantastic. Of course, they may not be my Prince Charming, but the certainly aren’t worthy of the backlash I read. TBH, some of the stories they’ve shared about their treatment from past encounters, has completely blown my mind. There are good and bad in both species.

    200% agree with this. I’ve met many lovely men from my time on RHP, and have had very few memorably bad experiences. Some of those men have been integral in my own personal growth, and I’m really grateful they’ve crossed my path, even if we went in different directions. The constant lashing is boring and toxic. Noones forcing us to be here.

    I'd like to hope I'm one of the good ones, but then again even the shit ones would say that right? 🤣 I honestly don't mind if people call out men's bad behavior because unfortunately there's a very large proportion of men that have a sense of entitlement on this site and in the scene, or very misogynistic attitudes (actually it's society in general, not just here). The good thing for the decent guys is that their behavior immediately reduces the pool of potential suitors that couples and women are looking for and in turn increases our odds 😂 I do agree with the sentiment of your post though, both men and women can display shitty behavior and I think that we all are well aware of what that looks like (Manosphere anyone?). Near daily posts on the same topic, regardless of what that topic is, become a bit tedious and boring.

    We’ve met some great guys on here , honestly we’ve been stuffed around more by couples . It’s like anything in life you can’t judge everyone by what the minority is doing . I don’t think it would be an easy task on here as a single fella , I think the genuine guys need to be cut some slack and not be lumped with the few bad eggs. Just as many dodgy cheating females on here too .

    Hey T, it does feel a bit like the pitchforks are sharpened and hoisted of late, so thanks for raising this. To answer your question, I feel a bit mixed, to be honest. Atrocious behaviour is not a gift granted exclusively to men. There are plenty of rude, entitled, obnoxious women on RHP, as there are everywhere. However, I think there is a difference in the volume of shit that people are forced to wade through. If you were to ask me the last time I was subjected to any form of socially poor, unacceptable or even downright criminal behaviour from a woman here, sure it's happened (fortunately nothing criminal yet, touch wood), but I'd need to think back to it. I'd bet there are few women who, considering the same question, would need to go back more than 24 hours. So when it comes to posts and comments and how they make me feel, it comes down to intent. If it stems from a place of objectivity, and where it's either explicit or implied that the poster appreciates it's not all men - and not only men - who behave poorly, I'm sympathetic. I recognise that the shitty experiences I might endure are almost certain to be less frequent, and that my risk profile whenever I choose to meet in person is unquestionably lower. However, If the post/comment reeks of entitlement, if the user is giving off grandiose narcissistic vibes, then my sympathy dries up faster than a cornflake in the Simpson Desert. Which might be harsh. You never know when there might be an underlying issue or historic trauma that triggers the behaviour. Nonetheless, if it comes across as whinge du jour, then Cornflake. Searing heat. Rock hard. Ironically, I treat those men-bashing posts as you probably do with crude and explicit unsolicited DMs. I tend to just eye-roll, ignore them, and mentally note to never meet.

    I couldn't agree more with this post. One arsehole tars all men with the same brush and it's unfair. I've delt with more that a few immature women, and couples that show zero respect.

    I had a lot of female friends in my younger years and have seen a lot of guys who are pests or can't accept a simple no thanks. They exist because it will work for them eventually so they just keep on doing it until they find that one girl who is drunk enough or emotionally vulnerable at that moment to engage with them. I spent many years not going after opportunities because I didn't want to make anyone feel the way my friends felt after being slimmed on by those creeps. These days I go for it I just treat people with respect and if I don't get a reply after one or two messages then I will take that as a no, if I actually get a no I thank them for their time and move on. I only respond to profiles with information about the person and I try to open a conversation using that. I don't get much luck and I'm usually ignored but I just don't have it in me to act like a douche to get laid, I probably wouldn't match well with anyone who would respond to that behaviour anyway.

    I think a lot have already made the common statement. As a man who tries to treat women right in both message and in person, when reading the hater posts you are more so reading the emotional response of a jilted user. I don't give oxygen to a fire. Locus of control- there are thong you can control and things you cannot control. The one thing you can control is what is in your profile, what your settings are, and how you respond or react.

    Can you clarify, what you mean by "jilted" and "hater posts". IMO Calling women “jilted” is an easy way to dismiss what they’re saying without addressing the substance of their experience. Sometimes it’s more comfortable to label a woman bitter than to consider she may actually have a valid point. Which is exactly what the original post was discussing. Ms Foxy

    It's like everything the squeaky wheel gets the oil. The ones who act entitled to a woman's attention because they were being nice aren't treating them as people but objects in a transaction. I was nice so you owe me sex. Once they have been denied what they think you owe them they get nasty and the true personality comes out. Even worse are the ones that are gross straight out of the gate. You are on a website designed to find sex, you must want to be treated like a object. Bad experiences overwrite the good ones in your memory, it's a defensive mechanism that helps you avoid potential danger in the future. Likewise people generally don't talk about the nice man they chatted to the other day. It's not interesting but the slimebag who told me all the things he wanted to do to me will probably get lots of attention and support with people sharing similar stories. I understand that as a woman you need to protect yourself, support each other and, as any decent person would try to do warn others of the potential dangers to spare them the unpleasant experience you had. This can unfortunately also affect the decent men who are trying their best to be respectful and treat you the way you wish to be treated. I know that some people enjoy being told that they are a bunch of descriptive words I won't use here, or want to be objectified. They communicated what they desired with someone who made them feel safe enough to share those feelings with and gave consent to the person to do them. (I personally have boundaries about dirty talk and I'd probably do a bad job as even pretending to demean someone makes me feel like a bad person. I prefer giving compliments and reassurance in my dirty talking). Messaging someone the exact same things as a way of saying hello even if their profile says they like that stuff is done without consent just like sending someone a graphic photo of your member because they stated they love Richards. Great they love them and you love showing yours off how about you ask them first then when you get the green light go nuts (pun intended) These douche canoes are always going to exist. All I can do is ensure my own behaviour is always as respectful as possible. I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable or disrespected. I'm here to meet new people who may want to meet me where we can then get to know each other. I love humans, they are complex and fascinating and each one is unique. The only way of doing that is to initiate a conversation with a stranger and it's usually going to have to be the man who does that unless you are ridiculously good looking and live on a 100ft yacht (I'm not and I don't) I have my own rules I try to follow so that I'm not being a pest to anyone who's not interested but doesn't want provide a rejection due to bad reactions in the past. (One polite introduction, a compliment on something that motivated me to contact them or why I think we may be a match and a follow-up question to try and open a conversation. If it's seen and not replied to that's an answer. If they check out my profile and then don't reply that's an answer. If they reply with a negative reason like I'm too far away or even a simple not interested, I'll thank them for responding and that's that. If it's not seen for a few weeks but I see they are currently active I'll message saying just refreshing the chat and leave it in their court). I will also call out any male I see acting like a pillick in public or private, let them know that that kind of behaviour is unacceptable and if possible report it. It's up to us men to regulate the bad apples and not turn a blind eye even if they are mates otherwise you are part of the problem and activity condoning misogyny. Luckily I have all girls because I teach mostly boys and getting it through their thick teenage skulls what is and isn't appropriate behaviour is truly sisyphean.

    I think this is a fair point and one that often gets overlooked. There’s no doubt that some men behave badly, just as some women do. Most reasonable people can acknowledge that without assuming an entire gender should be judged by the actions of a minority. Generalisations rarely help anyone, especially in spaces where people are supposedly trying to form genuine fun or long lasting connections. What’s often missing from these conversations is that negative experiences aren't exclusive to one side. Men get ghosted, ignored, falsely judged, and sometimes even blocked by profiles they've never interacted with, spoken to, or even come across before. seemingly for no reason other than existing. It happens more often than people realise, yet it's rarely discussed. The reality is that dating platforms and chat communities contain both great people and terrible people, regardless of gender. Most men aren't sending inappropriate messages, just as most women aren't treating men badly. The majority are simply trying to find someone compatible while navigating a space that can be frustrating at times. If the goal is to attract respectful, genuine people, then creating an environment where individuals are judged on their own actions rather than stereotypes is probably the better approach. Mutual respect, accountability, and a little empathy from both sides will achieve far more than broad accusations ever will. At the end of the day, good men don't want to be grouped in with the worst examples of men any more than good women want to be grouped in with the worst examples of women. That's a standard that should apply equally to everyone.

    It’s a media thing, anti-male rhetoric is EVERYWHERE and it’s only getting worse. Someone mentioned above the analogy about 10% of chocolate were poison… …If this same mentality of “fear” was applied logically to everyday life, women would be way way way too scared to EVER drive thier cars, as the chances of having an accident are multitudes higher than a bad or dangerous experience with a guy…yet they drive without hesitation everyday. It’s really all down to conditioning, primarily through social media, to which women are by and large the biggest consumers and the most easily influenced. Thier feeds are literally a never ending reel of why “you don’t need no man”, “men ain’t shit” etc. it’s rampant.
