re: Is anyone else extremely paranoid about dating apps?

I have a feeling I'm going to be divorced in the next 1-2 years. Things are just not going well.
I met my wife in college. I haven't dated anyone else in 15 years. This whole online to meet people to date thing, eh. Not looking forward to that. At all.
Thinking this is going to be the time of my life to buckle down at work, get in better shape, and do everything I can for my kids.

Really not too interested in having my own children. I wouldn't mind a man with a child at this point. Or I'll just stick to cat lady status... meow.

Vast majority of women marry for money. All that you said is a bunch of bs

That's what I found. I adore his daughter & have a really special relationship with her.

This scares the shite out of me. Any signs you can think of, looking back?

Wow, this thread really became personalized while I was gone.

29, single, no kids....I am on both tinder and bumble but still waiting on the "right" one.
Both apps have their ups and downs and I have a buddy who met his now long-term gf off tinder but I would say he's the minority and not the majority.

Are you in love with dcs?

I avoid tinder and pof like the plague. A lot of no class women looking for a payday and the right sucker to come along.
I find that match and bumble have better quality women...aka ones that have a career or graduated from college.
I am 30 going on 31. I have assets that I value and I don't need the wrong woman to swoop in and take what I have worked extremely hard on.
I feel like I am an above average looking man. I have definitely out kicked my coverage a few times. My biggest issue is that women are a bit intimidated by me because I have a pretty high intellect. Women say they want a smart man, but when they actually come across a legit smart man they tend to get upset when they realize they actually wanted a dumb "yes" man.
Sooooo it leads me to believe I need to change the pool of women I date, or date someone in my field.
Oddly enough (I am an Engineer), most of my co workers wives are Nurses. I haven't dated a nurse yet...maybe I should... lol.

She seems nice but no I'm just trying to give her advice. As a single man a few years ago I had better luck irl then online dating. Find a hobby, join a kickball league, CrossFit gym, a run club, co-ed softball. You have an excuse to be social with women without coming off as creepy or over bearing. Develop relationships and go from there. Sometimes you gotta invest more then just clicking an app

It's only creepy if your SMV isn't high enough. If you are attractive and confident nothing will be seen as creepy.
If Ryan Reynolds walked up to a random girl at the grocery store and asked her to coffee he would be seen as charming and not creepy
If your typical skinny fat beta did the same thing it would be considered creepy
In other words be as attractive as you can be. Lift, dress well, don't be fat, take care of yourself
But I completely agree with you. Be social and do activities which makes it easy to meet women

We have different perceptions of reality. She believes in a world in which everything goes according to plan, there is no stress. I'm not by any means perfect and I've made mistakes, but I don't think the proper response to my mistakes is divorce. Life is hard. I've never cheated on her, never gotten arrested, don't do drugs, etc.
With both of us working and two kids, she's gotten to the point where she makes no effort to have a relationship with me. She is the kind of person where, I can wash dishes 99 nights in a row, but if I forget on the 100th night or I'm too tired, it's "you are useless, you don't help, etc".
She's changed. She wasn't like this. I don't know what caused her to change, she doesn't think she has. I truly think she believes there is a man out there that is perfect and will do no wrong. Good luck.
