On dating apps, do women talk to 2-4 men at once? What if you really like a guy, do you stop talking to the other men? I really don’t know how this works still.

Unless you make a commitment to one guy, you can talk to as many guys as you want.

I don't believe you should commit to someone online. You should actually meet the person face to face.

You don't have to talk to just one man----unless that's what you want.

You can’t.

Or, if you can, there is no way to verify the other person’s alleged commitment.

Chat with as many as you like. It's probably good social skills practice.

Even if you prefer one of them, it doesn't hurt to have other irons in the fire!

The others you don’t like as much could just be friends. I think most people talk to a few people at once on there, even if they wouldn’t want to be with them, because they have things in common. A lot of profiles list “friends” as something they’re looking for.

If you decide to be with someone from there, then your profile should be deleted. Maybe if you made friends, you could add them somewhere so you can stay in contact with them.

Talk to as many people as interest you. Some may develop into friendships, and it's good to have friends (if you're at all like me, you need all the practice you can get). None of them has a realistic expectation of exclusivity, nor are they entitled to demand it. If they disagree, it means that they're not interested in friendship, but ownership, in which case I'd strongly suggest dropping them like a hot potato.
Be kind, relax, and enjoy yourself.

An average woman gets up to 100 messages per day on a dating site/app. Why wouldn't she talk to more than one man? First of all, it's just conversations; nothing wrong with that. Second, a more desirable man than the one she's currently talking to could some along. Third, even when a "good" man writes something sincere and thoughtful, it'll get drowned out in the sea of crappy messages women get.

The opposite is true for an average man: he has to send 100+ messages before getting one reply.

Truth is that 98% will be uninterested in you for a serious relationship, are only out for sex, or just won't match after that first date. Just talk to as many as you feel comfortable with, going all in on someone who MAY be interested in you while the others pass you by, is not a great strategy.

Unless you've dated someone online like several times and talked about being exclusive, there is no commitment.

Can vouch for that, more than one girl has told me that.

For me it feels pointless to actually spend time crafting a message to someone, mentioning words from her profile to make sure she knows you read her text, and then it gets lost in a sea of dickpicks, impersonal copy paste messages and generic crap like "Hey babe, how are you doing?".
