What's your experience with dating apps?

[xpoverzion]

Dating apps are great for promiscuous sex and getting stds. Otherwise, they work pretty well.

i used Tinder once and got a whole one match. She turned out to be a she-demon and nearly ate my left hand. But the app was just dandy.

A lot of spam bots, fake accounts.

I wish my she-demon girlfriend was a spam bot!

I have the same issue around here, though it may be because I also don't live anywhere near town. lol

You must be trying the wrong ones.

I accidentally left adblock off once and it turned out there are dozens of Russian millionaire women in the little village of maybe 200 people a few km from here that would be into me.

Did she eat your pre-kids?

I did not trust her with my genetic information. She might have brought them to hell and converted them into greasy little hobgoblins.

brought them to hell

In the dating game, I've learned: keep Wet Wipes or Neutrogena makeup-remover. It'll combat: stinky dick, knob slob, you-got-something-white-on-your-face, but does nothing against herpaghonnasyphilaids+.

aids+

please no

 

[H1B1Esquire]

lease no

I mean.....you do have to ask about these things. On the good side: I had a woman give me HPV (she was honest after we started dating--she was afraid I'd leave her if I knew she was "damaged goods"; TL;DR men who have a good immune system can get over HPV, like a cold.

So get out there and fuck everything raw.

I get zero play on tinder, rarely on bumble, non stop on Hinge (same profile). Tinder gives me zero people I'm attracted to, their algorithm really doesn't work for me. bumble is a bit better than tinder. Hinge is where its at for me. Currently on 50+ likes I have to sift through (I've neglected it for the past 2-3 weeks).

I have a lot of experience with dating apps. I tried to find a girl using Tinder, Bado and other applications. Later, I started using dating sites, even foreign ones. And finally, I managed to find the girl of my dreams, although I already began to doubt the soundness of my searches, but everything turned out great. Look at this web-site if you are still interested in dating. I hope you will succeed in this

All these dating apps and websites are really great option for single people.

While I will stop short of stigmatising them, and can certainly see them serving some purpose, I hesitate to go that far. I would say they are a lazy method and the results match that, and the concepts that work well there and that they promote (consciously or otherwise) with regards to socialising are maybe not ideal. It might be that there is a way (internet certainly does wonders for a lot of things as far as selling stuff and finding people with rare and hard to come by interests) but the fire and forget/shotgun into the dark approach presently favoured lacks something. On the other hand having been in bars and clubs... I am glad they are on the way out.

Not fond of “generic” dating apps myself like Tinder or such which are generally purported to be filled to the brim with bots and generally not so nice individuals... would rather stay away from things like that myself.

Am a bisexual male in a quite odd disposition. Mainly into MtF transgenders or feminine-looking males (the latter of which possibly I fall into), not so much into cisgender females.

I tried Tinder once, and put likes on a bunch of people locally and didn't ever use it again. It is awkward knowing there is just a profile of me floating out there that locals can see, and now occasionally I wonder when I interact with a girl in public if they seen it or I liked them on the app, like once I was at the dentist, and I just got this strange vibe from one of the assistance that she was being extra friendly due to that.

I know someone that use IMVU or whatever it is, they use it pretty recklessly, and it consumes a huge part of there life in way that doesn't seem very positive, they are pretty much in a relationship with the app itself rather than any single person they've met on it.

It does come off like there is a ton of low hanging fruit within these apps, I just haven't been able to bring myself to using one enough to acquire any of it.

Man I really am getting old

Wouldn’t touch a dating app with a ten foot pole. I like the old way of doing things. You know, meeting people and talking to them face-to-face.

Yeah you’ll meet some complete cockwombles. But you’ll also meet really nice people and everything in-between.

It’s all part of the, well, what used to be the human experience. I love just chatting to people wherever.
Coffee shop (actually, any shop. I’ve been known to strike up a conversation with sales people and other customers, just because), bar, on the street, wherever.

Well, I don’t do it for dating purposes anymore of course, I’m married. But I still like chatting to people, that’ll never change.
Hell, my friend and I started a party in the middle of Edinburgh between nightclubs. Just got talking to a busker, asked him to play some songs we liked, started dancing. Within 20 minutes we had at least 80 people joining in. Went on for nearly an hour, ended up with a massive crowd of people just joining in dancing and chatting to each other, passing joints and drinks around (except for one weird guy who stood over in the corner the whole time and just watched??).

Busker said it was the best gig he’d ever done
Beats any dating app as far as I’m concerned. But then, I’m an oldie compared to most of you

Full of scary people. Even on the tamer sites.
Weird witch chick wanted me to grope her G cup tits because I had a copy of Hyrule Warriors and she didn't.

I also became an OK Cupid mod once and quit for my sanity.

I’ve heard some weird shit in my time, things I’d worry about ever saying, let alone putting down in type.

But that is one weird reason for tit groping

When I was mod, there was this one user who had like 30 photos of his urine and feces.
How the system worked, was you'd go into the mod panel and youd be shown a flagged photo to take a majority vote on, then onto the next, one at a time. You couldn't just go onto a profile and click ban for weird excrement fetish and forget about him. It was awful, we had waves of his literal crap for days.
