Check out Grindr. More legitimate and professionally run site.

I’m sure it totally depends on age and city but I’ve had a lot of luck on hinge. The problem is that I typically have to go out with 5-6 women to find one that’s not a self obsessed instagram girl, “boss babe”, or fresh out of a relationship and just looking for attention

If she smokes, she pokes.

And you’re striking out on dating apps, who are you to be picky.

I would consider this. Why not? The world is more accessible than ever.

I feel like the era of dating apps has passed. It was once a treasure trove and you could legit meet up with a chick that night if you matched at lunchtime, but that was 10+ years ago.

I drink very little too but it's definitely possible to fake drink around drinkers and they not notice.


I don't see the need to pretend you're drinking alcohol.

You can buy them drinks and not drink yourself.

went from extremely hot to frigid over the course of a weekend, after, arguably we had our best date to date. she even said it. she started getting feels and sabotaged it.

Friend zoned, try acting more like an a-hole and you should be okay. Tell the next one to pick up the check because you deserve it and want her to feel independent.

Just a social courtesy. In a work environment I couldn't care less because I almost never drink in front of co-workers, in a purely social environment I just nurse things along slower than most others.

I still enjoy a cocktail and a lady's company, but I did have stomach and colon cancer a few years back, so I've gone really easy on the booze since then.

Personal preferences.

I make six figures, no kids, ex-wives, or baggage in my mid-30s, probably a 7 out of 10 on looks and I struggle on dating apps. It’s brutal out there.

It was so much better when you actually paid for match.com subscriptions and the women did too.

I met my wife on Hinge, and yeah it’s frustrating, but it worked for me. That being said we probably should have met earlier since we both had mutual friends of friends and liked hanging out at the same places and know we were at these same locations a couple of times, but regardless found each other through Hinge.

It’s not that hard at a gym or a church. I see that you’re not a drinker, but there are lots of volunteer stuff and like kickball and softball leagues if you’re into that.

I’m pretty ignorant on how dating apps work but how do you spend 700-800 dollars on them?


Hinge is like $30 a month, so if you’re subscribed to it for two years it gets in that price range.

you're much better than i am but ive dated many women on match, hinge, pof, and tinder. they're all crazy effing women but ive learned to date for fun.

i don't know what you guysc are doing. maybe you need to swipe right on some 5s and 6s

Personally, as a female, I find dating apps overwhelming. I have realized that meeting people authentically is much more charming and guaranteed to have at least some similar interests since I only go places that I like.

Genuine Q- is your BMI within the normal range and when is the last time you've gotten a haircut and shaved?
