Have you had any luck with dating apps?

I just want to know the experiences others had with sites like tinder, ok cupid, etc.

I've done ok on match. com, even as a divorced guy with kids. In 4 months talked on the phone with 7 women, 1-2 dates with 4 different women and then 1 really stuck out, we've been together almost 1 year. I even took 2 webinars which were pretty helpful.

You have to be realistic when you are going through a lot of people in a short time. Only 1 out of 4 you chat with you'll want to meet, then 1 out of 4 of those you'll want to see again. You have to learn to sort out the BS which might be tough when you're younger. But it's experience! One thing though - if a woman acts interested at first then has second thoughts of meeting: red flag! She's hiding something or catfish

Well it depends. On POF I had several look at my profile. Had a few, through the app, text me. However the ones my age wouldn't text. The younger ones were the ones texting.
The second app Mingle 2 I have mostly ones, again way too young, 21 to 35 texting me. I'm 49. I did get a match to someone who's 2 years younger. We've been talking and finding we have a lot in common. So this next Sunday we're going to meet. So I guess if the age didn't mean a thing to me I'd have plenty to choose from.

I met my boyfriend on an app. It wasn't a dating app. We hit it off and exchanged numbers and from there he instantly became attracted to me. He asked if I wanted to be his girlfriend. It wasn't a fairytale ending because he's in the process of moving to be with me.

I had insanely good luck when I used to use them but I never took them seriously and never really used them that often. I met jerks too - but its not hard to resolve that issue - ignore them and never speak to them again.

I only ever downloaded tinder once for jokes, and I got plenty of messages, most of which were unremarkable, pathetic or perverted.

[Burgerboy21]

I've never had any luck all my life using dating apps. That was until just two days ago when I matched with someone VERY promising on OkCupid.
I feel like I'm hard to get along with because I'm "different," but she and I seem to have a lot in common (and I mean a LOT). We've been talking for two days and have been getting along really well so far. She plays tenor sax which I want to learn, and I play trumpet which she wants to learn, so that's really cool. And on top of that, I know not everything is about looks, but goddamn she is SO pretty! I'm a sucker for eyes and I think hers are just amazing!
So anywho, we're now making plans to meet in person soon, which I'm excited for.

Eh.. no. I’ve been on like 3 dates they blew. Tried tinder. Nothing but dick offers. POF dick offers and hella prostitutes. Meet me. Weirdos, racists, and perverts. Bumble. Stuck up ass men trying to fuck... I met my most recent ex of POF and he was okay, just stuck up and kinda violent. So... I’ll declare dating apps a FAIL for me.
If I really want to meet someone I’m doing eharmony or match. com. Pay for actual compatibility tested match ups. All men do is look at the photo. They don’t read shit on your profile.

It was a disaster.
I'm always told that I'm naturally beautiful but I wasn't good with pics before. I chatted with a lot of guys to test it and discovered the most superficial crappy people you can ever find.

They made me self conscious about things that are not there and even told me how to dress to there taste. A stranger telling me how to live my life and dress? No thank you. They were so brave to judge behind screens but they won't if they were in front of me.

Maybe it was bad luck but never again.

I just been using pof & get ignored even tho polite, still yet to have 1 decent want to talk at all in weeks, most just seem to be totally upself think break a nail if have to reply at all, not hard to say ty but not interested instead of being stuck up, a lot think because the net not have show you same respect

[front2back]

I have tried Tinder, Bumble, and okCupid.
I managed to find a girlfriend for a short-time off Tinder, and two dates.
Nothing else remarkable though.
Many of the women on those sights are not looking for actual relationships, so it really is a waste of time.

[aaronbw]

I downloaded tinder about 3 years ago thinking it was a simple dating app. It was nothing but an app for hookups. The girl I did meet who was actually interested in dating turned out to be batshit crazy, I'm talking there had to be some kind of anger disorder kind of crazy. Hooooooolyyyyyyy shiiiiiit.

[Unknowndesire]

Found my love on POF and I couldn’t be happier. I made sure to put in my bio no I don’t want to fuck. No I don’t want to meet up etc etc though I still got those guys then I got this message from this guy which we automatically hit off and now he’s planning on marrying me

[Luke123456]

Photos I use and I haven't had one match in 2 months , I'm an ugly bastard... so nope not one bit

[ecfresh]

Had lots of luck: bad luck. Eventually learned through trial and error dating apps are not for me. I am not looking for short term hook ups and prefer to meet women who have actually grown up and can tell the truth about how they feel.

i wanna make something very clear

if you or I match with a thot, i expect to be dealing with a thot

if its a match with a douche, you should expect to be dealing with a douche

is the person on the other end edgy / puts their T&A all across their pictures? Well they're trash, so don't give them your time and don't complain when they act like trash to you

[OdieTheWise716]

Lots of luck, all of it bad... people tend to pick and choose by image alone and as we all should know, the pictures are doctored, strategically taken for the best light and after an hour of makeup, prep, and dressing up. Not what they look like any given moment of the day. Fake personalities and an unrealistic expectations. I found it easier to meet in public than social media

[Lea96]

I downloaded tinder once and majority of the guys are kiss ups who would say anything just to get you in bed

[es20490446e]

I had three dates on those (after devoting to them an absurd amount of time):

First date was fat as a whale.
Second was clinically depressed.
Third appeared to the dates only if she felt so.

Fuck you women.

[Dark93]

I've tried most of them and they all suck. Probably because of where i live being more rural, but I never heard back from any "matches" and anyone that did talk to me ended up being a spam bot or a scammer.

[brennanhuff]

I think it's a waste of time. Reports have shown that 70% of women only use the app for an ego stroke, window shop or boredom and most aren't interested in meeting any guys. I've had matches and some convos, but never got to meet anyone.

[ImatureAss]

No not really :/ It never really hurts to try. But from my experience, I'm better at building relationships face to face (and I still have trouble with that).

[PondyPand]

Well me and my dude (match) have been together a year + and going strong with long term visions.

[ENTP_EMO]

i acted like a decent human being and have great success

[ImagineSketchy]

No such luck. What I did have a chance at though, I ruined.
