It's not desperate.
Its pretty normal. But I would only recommend using them if you're either female or in the top 10% of guys in the terms of looks and know how to keep a chat entertaining. Or possibly if you're in or near a city with population larger than 30k.
Otherwise it's better you meet people irl.
You learn more, have better chances and make friends while you do it. Also, no bots or catfishing.
Nah, they haven’t worked with my experience. I have a friend where they’ve worked. Not desperate though. I mean there are people who will spend God knows how much on drinks at a bar to find someone (as my mom has said before) but to no avail so dating apps are just another form of dating not desperate. Ignore anyone who says otherwise.
I fucking hate them I've been on tinder for five years and I've only talked to three or four Snapchat prostitutes. It doesn't mean you're desperate if you use them but be ready to be dissapointed when you only get matched with people looking for Instagram followers and sex for money. I really see it as the downfall of modern dating and it's destroyed my enthusiasm for dating.
There is nothing wrong with using dating apps. There currently is still a bit of stigma around the whole meeting online thing but I think most have come to accept it as normal.
Personally I prefer meeting people in person, getting to know someone through a dating app I find dull and draining but I would recommend you give it a try and see if it is for you or not
Using dating apps or seeking to find love online through social media is a sign of extreme desperation. There must be something seriously off or crazy about a person that cannot go find a partner in the “real world.” Only people that have issues or losers will look for partners online, it’s last resort. No one tell me otherwise. Well educated people stay away from online dating. No one tell me otherwise.
Honestly, it’s on you on how you want to use dating apps. I say give it a try only live once. I use tinder since it’s pretty easy and common. I use it sometimes to just hang n chill or cuddle with people. Doesn’t always have to be sexual relations unless you want it to be.
It’s only desperate if you are or trying to be.
Nope. Found my wife on Plenty of Fish, to tell the truth. And before we settled down, i plowed my way through the local population at my leisure. And between those two times in my life, i met a woman that i could actually date.
So from a random slam piece, to a girlfriend, to a wife... i got what i was after.
They are only “desperate” if you make them out to be that way. It’s possible you can meet someone decent on one. I have before.
But just a warning. Using a dating app is like swimming though a giant sess pool that occasionally has a pleasant oasis. Most women put little effort into their profiles and/or communicating with matches.
You are younger so you will get matched. Who gives a shit on how you meet a decent girl.
Dating apps are a useful secondary source to meet people, I meet my girlfriend of almost 4 years (and going strong) on OKCupid.
However, meeting people in person was always my primary means to meet people. Dating apps are good for “off times”, such as after dinner before bed on a weeknight, to continue to seek new people.
But ALWAYS meet people in person whenever possible!
Some probably just consider it "another app" since there are so many.
I think that for some, they are mistakenly thinking of them as a "last resort". Maybe to boost their "self-esteem", or just to feel as though they are being "relevant" to current societal whims.
Not at all, especially not during the Pandemic. Some people (myself included) don't like asking random people for their numbers. If anything i's rather ask out a friend but strangers ain't for me. But online stuff i feel is way easier and less stressful
No not really. I’ve been using dating for dating and it is one of the most common ways now to meet someone. I don’t really know how to meet someone otherwise tbh
exactly me too
thats why i am still single lol
Only if you don't fill out your profile information or specify what you are looking for and just post penis/vagina pictures. That's pretty desperate I'd say...
Sure
Not really but it rarely works in your favor. I have a full time job where not a single woman works at (due to lack of female applicants) and there are days where I don’t speak to a single woman because I don’t come across any. That would be a good reason to use it in my opinion.
I wouldn't say so.
I think most people would prefere to meet their future someone naturally but online has become such a big part of dating... it is not desperate it is normal.
I have tried dating apps recently during covid. It was unnatural and too digital for me. So I decided to stop and just wait for covid to pass so I can be out again.
Don’t bother for dates or hookups. Dating apps take an average man and make him feel like nothing. It’s one sided for women. Do it right in person trust me.
I don't think so. I have found some pretty cool people that I have been with but its also harder to find a real connection and in some cases the real person.
no. its like exploring and looking what ur options are. its like shopping for different type of guys/girls that will fit your personality. I've been using tinder for a long time and honestly, i found good friends from it. i mean i looking for a boyfriend but those guys never really worked for me but still manage to have a good relationship with them.
I wouldn't say it makes you desperate, but there are a lot of desperate people on it.
