The apps are a double-edged sword, IMO. On one hand, it is very easy to meet your match. The past three relationships I had were girls I met on Hinge.

On the other hand, there is so much competition out there that it is extremely easy to get your heart broken.

I'm recently single and I just got back on the apps last week. Took a girl out Friday night. She was seemingly wonderful, smart, pretty, etc. and said the same of me. We hit it off (at least I thought), did some making out, and made plans to see each other again this coming weekend.

Of course, she completely ghosted me. I try not to take it personally, because apparently this shite happens all the time. Take it on the chin and move on to the next one.

Its more that dating multiple people has become more common. You never love as hard as your first love. Get to the 30th girlfriend and at that point you're just going through the motions doing what youre " supposed to do"

I’ve heard this but at the end of the day just try to meet people who share the same hobbies as you and frequent the same places. Then you know you already have something in common.

This thread pops up every few months. The apps are awful.

Dating apps allow any average woman to get 100s of offers for dates every single day. They don’t need to write a profile or even leave the house.

Dating apps for an average guy with a well written profile and decent photos allow him to spend hours messaging average women every day and be completely ignored.

It has totally destroyed how youngsters view themselves and their worth to the opposite sex.

Dating apps have contributed b/c the dating system is rigged in a lot of ways but this generation has gotten away from reality. Reality was meeting through friends or social groups or just random approach conversations . Most these youngsters wanna look at tik toks and play video games with their lives

I can't help with getting girls to say yes to a date, but guys in the late 20s and up looking to date really should focus on learning how to do new things. The older girls get, the more they want a guy who can fix shite or build something. The more shite you can fix, the better IMO. Change your own oil, replace a hot water heater, diagnose why an outlet isn't working and fix it, patch drywall, build something.

I have nephews in high school, friends all along the college age to their 30s and I have one really good friend who is hands on with the problems that go on in life. All the rest of them, none of them know how to do something as basic as plunging a toilet. They'd rather pay someone to get their hands dirty than to actually risk breaking something. The girls on dating apps for the most part aren't the girls looking to date seriously. Become a regular at a coffee shop, take a college course, take up tennis or some other gender neutral sport, hell take a waiting gig at a champagne bar or something regardless of income if you're trying to meet girls.

If you're looking for an easy way to find girls, you'll only find the easy girls.
