Not being a dick but approaching women in public and striking up real conversations is way more effective and an easy way to stand out. Less and less younger dudes do this and attractive girls post all the time how they never get approached anymore.
A friend of mine briefly chatted with a woman in an elevator recently. Then latter he waited to catch her on the way out of the building. She told him she had someone she was seeing (a new thing) but that she thought it was good that he was approaching women in public cause guys needed to do that more now a days. She was super nice to him.

You can have success on Hinge. You will need to pay for it though. Otherwise I think you only get 2-3 likes per day or something like that. A little higher quality women on Hinge than Tinder and Bumble. Tinder is a cesspool..fats, blacks, CNA’s, and phlebotomists.

Hinge in Texas has a lot of attractive college educated women in their 20s. Like a LOT.
Problem is they get overwhelmed with messages.

It probably actually is. Dudes odds on apps are bad.

I think the odds on apps were fairly good 10 years ago, but these apps have changed to revenue generating now.
Tinder/Bumble in 2014-2017 was pretty decent, and I have a few friends at least who met their wives that way back then.
I just don’t see it working as well anymore, and traditional way is likely more effective.

I found after the 40s dating is hard. Disrupting other's marriages and taking their spouse and kids is the way to go.

Not taken like that at all and i actually agree. Unfortunately though, not all free time is created equally. For instance, im a single dad of two younger kids so being in a position to just strike up meaningful conversation while out an about doesnt really present its self too often. Ive usually got a 4yo tied to my hip and my patience for anyone is at a minimum. On one of these apps i can kind of go at my own speed and if thats a problem with the other person then frick em. When the youngest gets older I for sure plan on getting out there and meeting people in the "in real life" spaces i enjoy, but in the mean time this works ok for me

The apps aren’t getting worse, it’s society that’s getting worse. Just remember that the older you get the smaller the pool of quality options gets. Most of the good ones are taken, happily married, etc. Dating in your 50s is like thrift store shopping. You can definitely find a diamond in the rough but you’re gonna have to weed through a lot of junk.

I don't recommend any of them.
That said, I found the girl I'm dating on Match. But once we started talking, we realized that we vaguely knew each other and ran in the same circles 14-15 years ago.
Previous to that, the most success I had dating was via Facebook Dating. It was easy to see if you have mutual friends and get an idea of who they are before even reaching out.
Eharmony was trash. Match wasn't much better, despite my success. Tinder was awful.
Good luck.

Nah they are definitely getting worse. Tinder and other apps use desirability/ popularity towards their algorithms. So if a guy likes many profiles and not many like him back they will pretty much shadow ban them from the high end profiles and give them matches only from the less desirable pool.
The issue would be that even the girls that are in the 4-6 range are "desirable" due to high like volume while guys that are in the 6-8 range are moved to the less desirable pool. So you have decent looking dudes that are given primarily tanks, whales, and weirdos in their algorithm.
Dating apps are feeding the machine of cutting out a majority of dudes from dating pool. They pretty much target less desirable profiles and reward high traffic profiles.
If you have decent standards or expectations and don't get many likes then its probably better to try and meet someone in person.
Society is getting worse too.

Which dating apps would you recommend using if you’re year old man in New Orleans looking for a woman same age or younger?

Lmao I should have worded that better
Your wording still needs some work. But based on other comments I think what you meant to say is "Which dating apps do you recommend using as a 30 year old man in New Orleans looking for a woman of the same age or younger"
If that is in fact what you meant, then the answer is Hinge. Don't bother paying for the premium. Just use the free version. I think you get 10-15 likes per day. Focus more on your own profile and make sure to have some good pics. Also, if you are in decent shape then post a gym selfie or a pool/beach pic. Women say they don't like that but they do. I got way more action when I posted a shirtless pic from the beach. Or post a pic of you on a boat. Women love the idea of a boat. And post pics of any travelling or events that you have done. Mountains, beaches, sporting events, concerts, etc. Bonus points for traveling abroad. And last but not least, be patient. These single women have to sort through hundreds of likes and messages. Don't get upset if they don't respond right away.
