I did also get a “Hi” from somebody 

The desperate ones with nothing to say 😆  Yeah, you're "supposed" to ignore them 😉 Don't know what they expect really. I'm not sure about the dick pic, I've never sent one, but maybe there is a rule. As there is for having a pic of you holding a fish in your profile, apparently.

 did also get a “Hi” from somebody who I appear to have nothing in common with, despite making it clear in my profile the sort of person I’m looking for and her clearly not being it.

I wouldn't be too hasty to write off people. Why not meet up? It's just a date, you could hit it off, you never know

You can tell a lot from a "hi" 😉

I've decided there's not enough disappointment and rejection in my life so I've signed back up to Bumble.  A few days of that should put me back into the "single and happy with that" camp.

Not heard of Bumble...  "only female users can make the first contact with matched male users"

Sounds like a lot of empty browsing... *sigh*

😀

There are ladies on STW? Surely not.

Well she also failed really badly on the criteria I used to reject the other one - I guess if somebody hot sent me that then I'd at least try messaging back to see if they had anything more to say, but as I pointed out I'm also shallow. Though I'm interested in finding somebody who I can spend time with doing active things and she clearly failed completely there, it wasn't just the "hi" (though as dezb points out it does tell a lot - I've sent a few first messages and responses and it's not hard to write a bit more based on somebody's profile).

Not heard of Bumble…  “only female users can make the first contact with matched male users”

From my extremely limited experience so far that might actually work for me, maybe I'll give it a try!

Though regarding the date I do have, it seems the only time I can see my kids this weekend is when we were thinking of meeting and she has her 2.5yo son the other day. She has suggested meeting when she has her son, and I'm just pondering whether that would be a bad idea - was only expecting to meet and chat, I'm guessing a kid that young might not be a big problem (though might demand lots of her attention)?

There are women on STW. Whether they are ladies or not is a moot point.
