Something I’ve noticed with men on dating apps

So this is gonna be a bit long because there’s a few issues I’m addressing here, wondering if anybody else has run into these as well, and if anyone has any advice.

For context, I am bisexual and in my 20s, and am on a few dating apps soley looking for something casual and I’m open about it on my profile. I’m finding men are extremely clingy, typically like right off the bat. Lots of double texting, wanting more attention etc. When I communicate it to them that it’s coming off as clingy, some of them back off a bit and some continue the behaviour. (If they continue the behaviour I unmatch) I do struggle with fears of abandonment so I’m trying to be understanding here, but it just feels so suffocating.

Even with men in their 30s. I find women respect space and time more, and aren’t constantly blowing up my phone.

With men, I’ve also noticed that they are liking my profiles even when we have the exact opposite dating desires. Men who want life partners are liking my profile despite my intentions for casual being clear. Is it common for men to just be swiping on every girl they see without reading profiles?

I don’t have alot of experience with men, since I mainly prefer women. But I just was curious if this was a common experience or it’s just me/the people I’m attracting.

Btw, obviously not all men are clingy and there is clingy women out there too most likely, I just find men clingier.
