What are the do's and dont's of dating apps?

[godfatherfan]

From a mans perspective, here are the things I HATE about women's profiles, and immediately swipe right:
.
1) No pictures of you. You have your dog/cat. You have a drink. You have a sunset. But not you. Sorry, men are visual, we need pics. If you are hiding your face, what else are you hiding?
.
2) Nothing in the profile or "will fill in later" or "ask me". Sorry, the whole point about dating apps is to get an idea if we may fit. Then we chat or meet for a drink to explore that more. Then we go on a date. How fonking lazy do you have to be not to put anything in a profile. It doesn't have to be a book, just a few things.
.
3) No city listed where you live. Or something ignorant like "anywhere usa". Or the woman's favorite..."just ask". WHERE YOU LIVE IS ALMOST AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT YOU FONKING LOOK LIKE... I have done the LDR, I am not doing it again. You need to be within 10 miles of me or forgetabout it.
.
4) You don't say anything about yourself, but love to write what I am supposed to be.
She will have "you are over 6', you make over $100k a year, you have a 3 foot cock, you dress like such and such.". Fonk you, OK? You don't tell me what I am supposed to be, worry about yourself.
.
immediate right swipe for any of these.

Do...
Create an interesting and honest description of yourself
Include a picture of yourself, fully clothed
Read user descriptions and view user pictures
Message someone you're interested in

Don't
Send any personal information
Trust any information without verifying it
Believe someone's picture

[hotwife98]

DO go in with low expectations
DO be your best self
DO engage with other people and try to be yourself
DO flatter yourself with nice photos
DO make the other person your messaging feel special
DO be easy-going casual, it's not an interview, its to see if you're compatible

DON'T ask for sex/intimate things early on
DON'T go on there looking to belittle or argue with someone who's lifestyle you don't agree with
DON'T just say "hi what you up to"
DON'T be arrogant and forward
DON'T post weird/low quality images of yourself in your nan's bathroom

Dos: It's convenient you don't need to leave your house to match with people

Don'ts: People may not want the same as you, catfishing, ghosting

[serious]

See if this helps.

I tried several, never had a terrible experience. You have to be prepared to be ghosted, not take it personally. I also took anything said online with a pinch of salt, the real getting you know them wouldn't start till we met in person. It's amazing how much you learn in an hour over a drink/coffee that you wouldn't get from weeks of messages

[lightbulb27]

do have low expectations
do have a backup plan.
do take it all in good humor and learn about yourself and others

do not get too emotionally involved over texts... only after get to know the real person.
do not put yourself at risk

[Man-O-Metal]

Do's: None
Dont's: Datting apps.


I'm not 100% against them because they do work for certain people. But your chances are slim compared to going out and finding someone.

[DavidRaul]

Get ready to be disappointed if you just started using dating apps. I never had a good experience on these sites. People just beg for sex

[Texasgal95]

Do’s: be yourself, be aware, meet in public for the first time

[spartan55]

Why anyone from 18-30 would ever even need a dating app is just mind boggling to me.

[Anonymous]

sure they're convenient. but if i were in this position, i would rather just meet someone at work or through friends. thankfully i don't have to tho lol you should do a thorough background check

[Freyke]

Don't put a photo up of you and a girl friend or she'll see it as a girlfriend instead. Don't put nudes. And don't write something stupid in the bio.

[SeekingVirginWife]

1. Do not use dating Apps.
2. Find their address, then visit them with flowers, proposing for marriage.

[FilmGuy93]

Do: stay off of dating apps.

Don't: use dating apps.

[hoqhuuep]

In my experience as an unremarkable guy, dating apps are like standing outside a supercar showroom drooling over vehicles you will never be able to afford.

The house (Tinder/OkCupid/Bumble/etc.) always wins.

[Zachgoat308]

Dating apps are easy for me like OkCupid and Bumble, tinder kind of weird though.

[scarletssecret]

Always meet in a public place until you feel comfortable to go to a private place.

[Sour-rose]

Don't drop pics of you. It doesn't matter if that bish says she really like to see you without your shirt, all it takes one pic of you to destroy your... everything.

[slatyb]

Don’t waste time texting. Go meet them for coffee, lunch at the most.

[Adronicus]

in my opinion thetes no do's & only dont's when it comes to online dating.

[cth96190]

For a man, dating apps are a no in themselves.
Dating apps are a complete waste of time for men.
Women are so picky and bitchy that datig apps are impossible.

[Avicenna]

Don’t use them. It’s much easier to meet real people IRL.

[Waldoe]

Don't use dating apps... simple, you will NEVER meet anyone and they will charge you for Nothing
