Do you believe that dating apps work?

Question

And I'm not talking about hookups now. Do you think it's possible to find love using a dating app?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

You meet a guy&girl online it's only a step, doesn't matter much!! Starting from step 2 and on it's all that matters... the success of relationship is not how you meet because Once you know someone on real life how and where you met it's all a myth!! Well maybe smth to tell you kids a story..
There is no point of asking if dating app works? if you met this guy in a restaurant works? if you met this guy a fiend introduced you works? Obviously it's going to start form somewhere somehow...
I meet my boyfriend online, we chatted for 2 weeks meet each other in real and it's been so long now that sometimes I forget how we met.
Some say guys online wangs only a night stand? No shit why guys in real life do not want a night stand? Lier lier pants on fire

Dating apps require a lot of money and have fake users produced by the company.

I think you can find love any where but if it's online then forums are good place to make friends that potentially can be lovers one day.

I meet my boyfriend at Meetup. Being a introvert I didn't have much friends so I joined a badminton club and wanted to find a male friend who I could potentially be in relationship with.

So I asked him "do you want to play badminton, and be my partner in badminton".

I know him for 2 years and 4 months, and been living with him for 2 years. ♥

hi there, if anyone can be bothered an intriguing view point with actual real time responses from a varied panel of young people exploring the difference between what we think and actually how we act towards our outwards attractions... there is relevance in this about apps and the effect it is having on the generations succumbing to the general use of them and if you can bear with it i think this programmed has a great deal of insight to offer... xx uk channel 4 is love racist the dating game..

Very rarely. Because there's a reason why people need dating apps and can't get someone in real life. Now that could be because of being at work all the time, but it could very well be because of character flaws, or they could be a catfish.

Being_a_good_Indian · Accepted Answer

Yeah it is possible to find true love on dating sites. In that case also the definition of true love differ for each individual.

The few problems which come is communication problem when the distance is more. The delay in response or lack of understanding result in end of relationship.

The most of dating sites use algorithm to match the people keeping in mind the interest. Few dating website take personality test of people so the thinking and personality matches.

The problem comes is that some all time horny dudes would also be there on dating sites with multiple accounts by which they do cyber bullying and harass the people.

The dating site has positive and negative sides. It depend on you

Anything is possible, however, apps are created to boost sales. Due diligence is everyone's concern, hoping an app will solve their woes.

research is best at vetting what an App is doing, helping, or connecting people. From my experience, apps are a minuture version of some website, and these portals have been rated great to poor results.

I'd do some research before installing an app, or signing up on a website. Remember, social dating sites are interested in creating a revenue stream, and use incentives to have you buy in for nothing. The rule is you get nothing for nothing, so the app will give you little until you pony-up done change.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I have met several nice women on match and POF and had LTRs with them. It is merely a means of meeting people. AS soon as you meet them, everything reverts to the standing rules of engagement.

godfatherfan · Answer

My sister is married to a guy she met on POF. I have had success dating online. I have heard stories from several people that know people that have been married from meeting online.

The biggest problem is that women get a TON of messages from men. Many are guys that are cheating or of a ethnic group they don't wish to date. HERE IS THE ANSWER LADIES... SEND OUT MESSAGES FIRST. It is beyond frustrating to meet women that say "oh, I would never send a message out first". Yet they complain about all those messages they receive. If they actually sent the messages to the men they want to date, they would know it was a legit reply. Women have it so easy in dating. They date free, they have guys tripping over themselves to ask them out, they control sex so they control everything at the beginning. You can't be treated equal only when it suits you.

GallienKrueger · Answer

Well, yeah. If you're not a coward. You want to be original, and actively convert it to a date. If you have a little confidence about it you have a nice opportunity to meet new people. One of those people might be 'it'. Just like with normal dating.

My advice to anyone: be happy with being yourself while single. If all fails, no biggy. You have a great life already. He or she is lucky to be a part of it. And if they don't want you, then be happy you didn't get stuck with someone who isn't right for you.

First fall in love with yourself, and then someone else can love you too. Old advice, but absolutely the most important one to me.

mrinalashesh007 · Answer

Yes.. they do! My case is a LIVE example of working of dating sites.. 😉😎
Needless to say 80 percent of the profile in such dating apps are fake and that many of them are related to just hookups or asking money through various modes for even a chatting (ridiculous!!😂) .. but.. at least 20 percent are genuine and they look for a real date.. Some really helpful dating sites are
Tinder, okc ( ok cupid) , pof, jaumo.. So if you're looking for a real date and have the knack of recognizing a genuine person in ge heap of fake ones.. here is your chance!😊👍

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I believe true love can happen any place or anywhere if both persons
are willing to allow it to work. As far as these dating apps , i will tell you and
no offense but there are lot people with mental health illnesses and or
substance abuse use them apps. These type of people with disorders
do use them apps, hey i got mental health history so i should know
My suggestion do a background check on anyone your going to meet
off them dating apps , never go for it alone make sure you know whom
your going to meet cause anyone could be coming from any walks of life.

Daniel3035 · Answer

Don't hold your breath. It's full of people who just make an account for the attention that don't bother replying. Others are there to apparently "make friends". Whilst others are bots made by the dating app. Other people are real but fake posting pictures of themselves that are not real or hiding it with a snapchat filter.
And then there's if that person is really who they' are in the pictures at all.
All of this to consider whilst finding the perfect one which is hard enough alone let alone with 5/6 other things.

nbbn5 · Answer

i think there is less chance as in online dating apps people search for the best and use these app like some filter, many times judge others on there profile pics, in reality maybe they have the greatest personalities but they were rejected before starting the conversation wit them, people use all the filters like the "height one" and girls many times eliminate guys which do not match there criteria even if they will treat them very nicely in reality but NO they don't give them chance and same goes with guys as they will not consider a girl which they don't find attractive its better to meet people in reality than meeting through dating apps (there are tons off shallow people on dating apps)

thatonegirl_e · Answer

Yes, I think it's possible. However, they (studies and such) say that if you meet someone online it's better to meet them in person sooner than later. The more time you spend talking to someone through technology you end up having some idea of them that isn't correct. By time you meet them in person it's not what you expected and it doesn't work out. From personal experience it can work.

tomd93 · Answer

Well I've had girlfriends from tinder but ultimately they didn't work out ok. Tge only girl I've ever loved and was with for two years I actually saw on a mutual friends snapchat and asked "who's your friend" and it went from there. So to me, random meetings by chance tend to workout better.

IdekButHey · Answer

my brother and his current girlfriend met on Tinder and have been together for about 5 months, she's really great and they seem super into each other and I dont see any issues with them or them splitting anytime soon. so yes I do believe so, its all about how each person goes into it and what they're looking for. apps are just another way to find that someone

MandyRuth · Answer

Yes and no. It depends on what app you use and how you use it. I've had success with it myself, but I know a lot of guys find it difficult. I see it as more of a tool for dating, it helps you meet people that you may not necessarily meet in your everyday life. And it definitely isn't easy; you may have to go through a lot of bad dates before you find a person who is right for you.

sovetskii13 · Answer

I don't have actual experience with dating apps but I do believe that the serious ones can work. Match and eHarmony are pretty good based on what I have read. Don't forget that both people have to really be into the finding love and take it seriously in order to make it happen. It takes time and effort. The chances are slimmer than going out in person, but it's still possible.

5raffiti · Answer

Nah, don't think so. Dating apps are much like blind dates, and you can't find so called "true love" from there. I'd suggest going out and find girls yourself, that way you can actually learn pretty much about girl's personality, not only looks (and sometimes fake personality) what you can see from dating app.

WalterRadio · Answer

I don't know about "apps", but dating websites can work extremely well. The key is to choose one that is legitimate and that has the kinds of people that are likely to be looking for the kind of person you are.

I know countless happily married couples that met on dating websites.

ATuairiscean · Answer

It is hard but so is real life - Possibly with the world the way it is today it might be easier online - I spend hours a week online and go to a bar or a club maybe once every couple of months while working from home so for me probably easier - I would use a dating app but not expect instant success but maybe down the line have some luck.

KevinSmiley13 · Answer

in my own expierence, when ever I get a match, most of the time the girl is trying to exchange nudes for money, or sign up to site that requires your credit card info. and then on the off chance its a legit person, she and i talk for a couple hours and then she stops talking to me. I want to say, if they could filter put the scammers, it could work.

genericname85 · Answer

yeah they can. pretty much like trying to win the lottery though. and if you want "good chances" it´s quite a lot of work. basically if you want to have success in it, you´re going to put so much effort in, you may as well just approach people irl xD it´s only good as a little gamble on the side.

Bezbozhnikustanka · Answer

Yes, but what's the point. People who marry nearly always end up hateing eachother's guts, and on those rare occasions when 2 people really do love one another one always gets cancer and dies young leaving the partner devastated, nothing good ever comes out of falling in love.

realgrrrl · Answer

The one thing that has made me hate dating sites is that it's FILLED with old freaks and horny black guys. Because of this, when you chat with someone who have most likely been "approached" by some of those (and most have) and because of this they either don't reply to you or try to appear distant because they are afraid you are just like them. This one thing pisses me off to the max and because of this it ruins it for good loyal respectful guys like me.

Mr_Kapstar · Answer

Possible - yes.
Likely - no.

First of all it depends on the app, I find that the ones restricted to adults only have more legit profiles and most people there would be looking for the same thing as you.
The second thing is, how well can you keep a conversation going.
Third is, where you live.
And there's more. If you want, I can come up with a very rough estimated chance of getting a date/relationship through a dating app.

OfDeath · Answer

Not really because men and women have different ideas about dating and the lack of formality of them brings out the worst of both.

Men like to hook up to see if they are compatible with a woman and women want to start like a parole period of dates before deciding to have sex if he is perfect.

yahfromaz · Answer

Yes... although more dating apps are becoming increasingly inundated with scammers and whores (literal not figurative) and gold diggers. It really makes the process of finding true love a lot more difficult when you have to try to sift through to find people who aren't just after your wallet.

activemyhrt · Answer

sure but people chase romantic love too much. hook up culture isn't real. our generation is actually having less sex than ever. just seeing sexual content is easier than it has ever been.

but yes dating apps can work IF you're realistic. also dont use tinder for relationships.

Najoub · Answer

if you are willing to find a love and make it clear that you're not into one night stand you can find someone, but most people use these apps for hookups so you need to agree with the person on the long run thing

Loveroomer · Answer

okay, well about that, most of the time those apps are swarmed by 'horny men' 😖😖😖 I'd rather suggest you use facebook twitter or something like that so you can getto know before going on a date or so 😃

KatherinHorn · Answer

I very much do. I have met an amazeballs man on tinder. He is sweet and caring, and likes to take me fishing. Not only that but my sister met her now fiancé on tinder as well. And they are happier than ever.

lunedeprince · Answer

I've been on OkCupid for 3 years or so now. for other people yes it works but for me... I'm too picky. If you have a strict preference as I do and the misfortune of only attracting those you find to be most unattractive as I do than lol try a bar. 24 likes and only three are my type and combine that with my direct and offensive nature none continue messaging after a week or two. I'm short your experience is what you make of it, it depends on who you are.

Hope this helped :3

dragonfly6516 · Answer

I did. I'm not "hot", I'm overweight, and he is so fucking sexy! We even started out as friends with benefits, and it became something more. We put a label on it three years ago as of May.

Busted_Cranium · Answer

any method that connects two people has a chance to work

FusedBlue · Answer

At least where I live its hardly worth it, people make their profiles and don't even use the dam thing. They even write on their profiles that they made it because they were bored and apologize in advance for not responding. Some even add their other media accounts and ask you to follow them to get a response... my opinion, totally not worth it.

kikisand · Answer

I think so. I think it happens when you least expect it. In those moments when you just want to give up and tell yourself you're done. That's when good things happen: when you least expect it.

TheLostViking · Answer

yes they do, I know people who've got married and had children who met on dating apps, obviously it's not the case for everyone but it's no different than bumping into someone randomly in the street or drinking on a night out. I'd say you're more likely to find someone on a dating app because you and other people know what you are there for and you're constantly interacting with other singles

Westy616 · Answer

Woman complain about how men are always looking for hookups, but ignore the men who aren't in it for that. Sounds contradictory to me lol. But yes, there are a lot of guys that just want hookups haha. I believe love occurs on dating apps, but one should stay away from pof or tinder to increase their chances. It's fairly uncommon, but happens I believe.

Brotatochip · Answer

Definitely! As long a second both people are committed and honest it can work. As a soldier who works 12-18 hours a day in a job with absolutely no women I have to use dating apps to find anyone

anglca__ · Answer

i have friends who are happily in love with someone they met on a dating app. so i guess if you are clear about your expectations and just basically open in meeting new people then yes.

England37 · Answer

If you want to find something real then it has to be a paid app. People tend to spend money on things they are serious about. Think about guys that are just hoping to catch a chick to hook up with is about to pay $50 a month. Now the guy that's tired of being alone and seeks affection will.

ciitruskiwi · Answer

Not sure if you can call it an app but there was this speeddate thing for facebook and I met my boyfriend. We've been together for 8 years now. So yeah it's possible.

AleDeEurope · Answer

They can work, but the chances are minimum. Most girls there are narcissistic and bitchy, while most guys are pervs.

Adidassuperfast · Answer

Anything's possible you just got to make sure that they're as serious about the relationship as you like it to be.

artie1983 · Answer
