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.

ChronicThinker · Answer

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

Factshurt90 · Answer

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.

Burgerboy21 · Answer

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.

kiraith · Answer

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

Unknowndesire · Answer

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

Anonymous · Answer

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.

OdieTheWise716 · Answer

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 · Answer

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

es20490446e · Answer

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.

front2back · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

brennanhuff · Answer

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.

PondyPand · Answer

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

CandacePerry · Answer

Nope had not had any luck. all I got the stupid nice guy. I am lucky enough to find my current boyfriend on facebook.

Luke123456 · Answer

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

AlienChickk · Answer

Well uuntil I met my boyfriend, I had zero lucks on the dating app. For the most part I got perverts. I guess I was lucky to meet my boyfriend on a dating app, even though its not the most romantic way.

ecfresh · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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

xTom98 · Answer

If by lucky you mean getting laid, yes. If you mean finding love, sadly no 🤷

Partywithtom · Answer

Yes, lots that said I can see also how it's ruining it as well. I've matched A LOT of women probably between 2-3k gone on dates with between 200-300. No I didn't fuck them all nor did I want to.

ExpertOnWaman · Answer

Thank you Dylan, I have had many good times with dating online but also very rude people no thank. Many of women online just want me for my body and not my intelli, i

eMaNnUeL · Answer

I got ghosted on Tinder right as we were gonna set up a date so I just said fuck it and now I stick to the regular way of dating

YourCrusader · Answer

I had more luck with this app than 5 dating apps combined. Yeah am still single but I love it. I can drink as much as I want and talk to any girls I want so it's cool.

bookduy · Answer

I haven't. There seems to be a lot of fake profiles just trying to sell sex on there. I've been on the apps on and off for multiple years and have only had one date come from it and it didn't ever go past one date.

Chaz269 · Answer

Yes! I met some good women. None of them stuck, for various reasons, but I've had luck for sure.

No. i like in the middle of fimg nowhere in spain so i might be the onky one with the app in a 20km radius

TheFlak38 · Answer

Too little. Online dating is a rigged game. The only way to win is to not play.

General_Titipong · Answer

Nope didn't have any luck, tried tinder it seems they've set they're standards too high 😅 Badoo on the other hand is just teeeeerible so many freaking bots.

Dark93 · Answer

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.

NotAnAverageGuy · Answer

I've been using dating apps since 2012. I've pretty much used them all. I've never had a single date. Conclusion: dating sites are a scam.

ImatureAss · Answer

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).

KimmyWhimmy · Answer

Yes I’ve been on the Bumble app… I got sexually harassed on my first date ever

Stormsoul · Answer

Met my girlfriend of 6 months on Tinder. We're in a very happy relationship.

ENTP_EMO · Answer

ImagineSketchy · Answer

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

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Well better luck than I had at university, so I'm going with yes. Met my ex on Tinder and we dated for 2 years and now talking to another couple guys.

Anonymous · Answer

Seems like nothing but people wanting to fuck and whom only care about looks. Even matches on that their profiles say they want friendship or a real relationship get annoyed and block me when I say I don't want to hook up

Anonymous · Answer

It is really difficult on those apps. It's trying to find an easier way rather than facing the fear and meeting them in person. I think

penguin1965 · Answer

Some with Ok cupid but not much. POF is the worst in my opinion

Giggletr0n · Answer

Yeah, my current SO and 2 others from my past all came from dating apps.

kojikurac · Answer

Tons. The only catch is that all the girls are on another continent. I must go and catch 'em all

ToToRoUNKnoWn · Answer

I have not but me personally I prefer to be face to face with he person I like but there's always hope aye...

NightOwl399 · Answer

God no, I've had a few matches but some of the girls in tinder are either dull or they don't even reply.

Krazzymike321 · Answer

Bro, I can't even log into those apps... Not cause I'm 17, just cause they are difficult as all Hell to actually do anything in...

anametouse · Answer

Yep. Tried Tinder. Couldn't take myself seriously after 1 week in so I deleted it. The bios were all the same. Food, travel, or some corny joke

hammeronfire · Answer

no i ended up with some crazy girl who showed up at my place at 4:30 am and stood outside my door for a half hour after we had a fight

jvenmo12 · Answer

Most guys seemed to only want sex, they didn't seem to know how to carry on a simple conversation so it wasn't worth it. But some find the good ones so you never know

Slim57 · Answer

I wouldn't call it "luck" but I've met a girl off of tinder and I met my ex, first love, and girl I lost my virginity to off of pof who ended up cheating on me

babykinsa · Answer

i prefer the old school way of meeting people in bars or through friends!

DakotaNorth · Answer

Not a single one. They all want money without a guarantee of success.

XCORE911 · Answer

Nope. Tried 8 of them. No use. All of them are prejudiced or I'm ugly.
