I used tinder and bumble for a while.
I had tinder for about 2 years. I got around 180 matches. However maybe only 40 of those matches actually talked to me. And maybe only 20 of those turned into a conversation and out of the maybe 20 conversations thay lasted longer than 1 day maybe 3 ended in an actual real world connection 1 was a hook up 1 was a first date that did not go further and 1 was a relationship that ended up lasting about 2 and half years.
Bumble got me less matches and because the girls have to message first communication was even worse than on tinder. I got maybe 75 matches on bumble and none of them manifested into a real world meet up.
After that 2 ½ year relationship ended I started swiping through tinder again and found myself all of a sudden hating myself.
I stopped and completely deleted tinder and bumble and found a girlfriend organically (irl) and holy shit it's so much healthier and more real because the girl actually knows how to communicate.
My advice? ditch dating apps completely. They work, but not well. And the companies behind these apps make more money if you use the app longer so they aren't gonna try to make the app better, they would lose money doing that. So just ditch tinder.
When I used them I would get a lot of matches, but most women don’t respond after the 2nd/3rd message if you don’t immediately start with planning a date or mention you’re just looking for hookups.
It’s pure cancer, meeting people through friends IRL is a significantly better experience.
Just got bumble a few weeks ago actually, it is the first dating app I’ve tried. I was really scared to get a dating app and actually made a question about it on GAG lol. Bumble is meant to be the ‘better’ option because it’s less of a hookup app than tinder and some others I think. Anyway, the girls have to swipe right on guys first to start a conversation, if a guy swiped right on you, he can’t chat with you unless you swipe right on him. It’s all about the girls making the first move.
Anyway, since I got it, I have had NO luck. I've has a lot of guys swipe on me, but (sorry if this sounds snobby 😬) I have only swiped right on 2 guys because the guys on there are just sooo not it! The first guy I swiped for, never ever got back to me, and the second guy, hasn’t either... so yeah no luck so far :/
But I’ll keep trying I guess. ?
I've used most all of them.
I only ever get likes from people I absolutely do not find attractive. Especially when they are females.
I still try talking to them and will even go on a date or two. But I don't end up with them. I need them to be visually pleasing to look at, otherwise I can't date them.
I'm shallow, I don't care.
Also, the hot people that I rarely get likes from only ever want sex and are complete douchebags and freaks.
And I don't even attempt to go on a date with those people.
I may be shallow, but I'm not desperate.

u I used POF, zoosk, and Bumble, and I averaged a few matches per day when I was active. I met my girlfriend a year ago - on zoosk - and I am off the market.
I got 17 likes in the first 90 seconds and 2000 likes in one year but I never responded to any of them
Far far too many matches, but on average was around a 160 messages a day from men.
Yes I have gone on a lot of dates, and occasionally did find love.
Ditch them, meeting someone in real life or being setup by mutual friends or co-workers is far superior. That is if your wanting something romantic and long term.
OkCupid’s probably the better out of all them but there is some scammers on there but not as many on Badoo, Bumble isn’t bad except women have to make the first move with a match and they seem to chicken out because of that, hard to get a match on there for guys at least but women get plenty on all sites
Depending on how active I was on the site it wouldn’t be abnormal to get like 50 matches in a day.
no I didn’t find love, or even go out with any of guys that I matched with.
I am now happily married to someone I met the old fashioned way.
I used tinder, I got lots of matches. I went on dates with three different guys and one guy I’m still in a relationship with after 4 years.
I was getting a lot of cat fishes and a lot of scammers. Most girls don't even want to date guys on dating sites, they are there because they are addicted to getting attention from all the guys and comments and are addicted to stroking their own egos. And it is not women fault, I personally blame Weak, S. I. M. P. women worshiping men. As a man, In my humble opinion these type of men are pathetic.
I don't really know I started to fill out my profile but I never finished them on any dating them that I went on I guess I should have finished you're just something weird about doing it that way I'd rather just meet you start talking with you and we both know right then and there if it was good or if it wasn't
I must have messaged you a dozen women without a reply. It was time and money wasted, made me feel worthless, so just like normal dating..
It only took online dating three weeks to convince me to give up on dating entirely.
Online dating is a depressing and sad thing for most guys.
When I used dating apps in 2010-2016 on and off I would get at least 30 or more messages a day from men, Which made it overwhelming and tiresome.
The first time I used tinder, I made my profile and raccoon and surprisingly, I got a handful of matches lmao.
Just registered out of curiosity and for fun to have a look how they work so wasn't there for long but got quite a few matches until my profile got deleted 🤷♀️😂
DId a few years ago. Received few responses to my messages, though this may be because most of those listed weren't paying members, which was required to respond.
Got very few messages initiated by women.
I did, over time, go on maybe 8-10 first dates. None panned out.
One time, I've gotten over 20 matches but for some reason they never messaged me back. It was going on for too long. So eventually I gave up.
5 or 6 on bumble. I didn't know how to flirt, so nothing came of it. Ironically I am better at flirting now and I am in a relationship that will probably end in marriage.
I’ve used a couple but didn’t get that far into them because you had to pay and I wasn’t going to commit to meeting strangers offline. That scares me.
I got a lot of Tinder matches when I used it for a few months. Never once met or even talked to the people I matched with. I'm sure they were bots.
I get TOO many f'ing matches. I've started just not replying to them. I know that sounds bad. Sorry. 😬
yeah I've been on all except tinder. okcupid seems to be the best, i got a lot of matches in all of them, but the quality of men seem to be best in okc.
I tried it once, like 2 years ago and I maybe swiped right like 6 people and had 4 matches and a date with 1 guy
