I'm gonna go on a bit of a vent here. First thing to make clear is I don't own a smart phone. This is a personal choice I've made for reasons I won't go into, but I just have a regular flip phone and tend to get by just fine with that alone. But not having a smart phone also means I don't have access to the Kik app.

Now I have profiles up on other sites where "dating" is possible, in which I make clear I'm interested in playing with women, couples, or hotwives. I have a big enough dick that I'll get a message every now & then. So a short back & forth starts up and then the question comes up of what my Kik handle is. I explain to them that I don't have Kik and what proceeds is... nothing. That will be the absolute end of the conversation. What seemed like a promising lead to some play just dies mid-stance.

Why is this? Why is Kik so crucial to some people they simply will not pursue something they're clearly interested in without it? What makes it the be-all-end-all to hookups? This has happened to me about four times now and I'm starting to get a bit frustrated over it.

Maybe they think there is something odd about you not having a smartphone? Like you're a murderer with a disposable phone? But then I think most people online are murderers, so...

Personally I quite like Kik. It's been a nice middle ground for when I don't know if I want to give someone my phone number or not. Before Kik it would've just been "no".

Well I understand the not having a smart phone....if a few years ago....you would have asked me if i wanted a device implanted into me that made the half my decisions ,could be used to government and corporations can track me,as well as select and censor the media and addvertising I receive.....oh and it's also a handy portal for hackers and scammers

I would have said....HELL NO

But i tried to go full flip phone.....but swearing off the smart phone was like going on a low carb diet......I just didn't have the will power to resist

And you.....come one....sure...I'll concede everyone online is a murder.......but to quote a magnificent movie........

"Lets not argue back and forth over who killed who.....this is supposed to be a happy occasion"

Consider yourself lucky that you found out ahead of time how shallow those people are.

I don't have Kik, and I've had a smartphone for years. It's just not my thing. Last time I checked, I was still doing well at life, and people are still attracted to me.

While it’s totally true everyone online you meet is a murderer, not having a smartphone is like saying you prefer to drive a horse and buggy. It’s hella suspicious. You may survive without Kik, but before I’d agree to meet any potential murderer in person, I’d want to FaceTime or Skype. No exceptions.

Also, I’d think for sure think a guy with a flip phone is a serial killer or a drug dealer. I don’t even know what the capacity of a flip phone is.

Just giving you what the thoughts might be on the other side....

So, you have a PC, right?

Download and install the Android Emulator and install Kik on it.

If you can't figure out the details, find a 15 year-old to help you out.

So the long and short of it is I'm being ostracized by at least a portion of society by not conforming to it.
If you’re a flip phone person, maybe you need another flip phone person. No matter what choice you you make in life, it has consequences. Others won’t always understand your reasoning, no matter how good it is.

So if you love your flip phone, stand tall. Let your freak flag fly! Let them know you are the proud owner of that phone right up front. “I hate smart phones. Can’t handle that? Move on! I’m hot, and ready for love! And love my T-9 texting!” Or whatever. Just do you the best way you know how. Don’t think of it as being ostracized, but you as being selective. Do you really want to sleep with someone who thinks you’re a Luddite anyway? I wouldn’t.

Well, my phone is a 12 year old Samsung Rugby II flip phone. And I get by just fine on it. I can text, send and receive photos, and talk with someone if I really feel the need, which isn't often. Plus, it has a feature that my friends smart phones don't seem to have. I can set my phone up to ignore all calls from numbers that are not on my Contact List. So all those robo calls, phone doesn't even ring, sends them straight to voicemail. And they never leave any. Any calls from anyone whose number is not entered in the Contact List go straight to voicemail, no ring. Love that feature. Hell, my 12 year old phone still has the original battery and only needs charging once a week, unless I'm sending a lot of pics out.

You like your "smart phone", you can keep your "smart phone". I'll never own one.

Ne jamais dire jamais. I actually have that feature on my smart phone - a Samsung, btw. But that’s neither here nor there.

My point is, while it might be a minority, flippies are out there! Take heart, OP! Your match is out there!

I've had a smart phone, actually several over the years. I never use Skype or kik.. don't intend to start using it now either.

Be glad they dropped you when they did. If they're that shallow and narrow minded you don't want to be involved with them anyway.

If someone isn't willing to meet me in a public place first, that's their loss not mine. Of course there have been times when I have gone to discrete locations for some anonymous action at a private glory hole.

But kik and Skype are not apps that I plan on downloading onto my phone. Many people from this site have pm'd me asking me do you have Kik or Skype? Some have even insisted that I need to download it. Not going to happen.

Maybe it's a Samsung feature. I've tried to find it in some friend's "smart" phones, and it wasn't there. Tried finding it in another friend's flip phone tonight, no go.

It’s literally called “smart calling”. Sends anyone not on my contacts or with an unknown number to voicemail. Love it.

Well, on mine, I have to go to Settings. Then Calls. Then Voice Calls. Then Call Restrictions. I have four choices once there. I have it set to Contacts Only. Yeah, like you, I love it. Man, how many numbers I find that attempted to call me, but the phone never rang. It's awesome. Then I input the number into Google search, and find out it's a robo call. Or a debt reduction scheme, or debt collector (I don't have any debt). Fuck them all! LOL

Ditto. I haven’t “won” a trip or get those random weird calls anymore. I see them later, but there’s rarely a message. It was a new feature on my Galaxy 8, and I don’t even remember how I set it up, but it’s amazing. Doesn’t even ring. I know I can turn it off, but who would want to? Like you, sometimes I reverse search, but it’s generally a scam number. Canada gets tons of them.

Any smartphone can do that.

All well and good, until a local hospital trys to call to say your child or spouse has been brought in following an accident/sudden illness/whatever.

I find Google's anti-spam call monitoring to be very effective at blocking 95% of junk calls while still letting legitimate callers through.
