Anyone else have a hard time on dating apps?

I had great results on dating apps. I easily met women online, moved to talking on the phone, then asked for a date, and met them in person within two weeks of meeting online. I am engaged now to a lady I met on zoosk!

[Melody7685]

Oh wow! Congratulations! My first time dating I met someone on tinder (surprisingly) we dated 3 1/2 years but it’s like after Covid in stuff dating doesn’t feel the same? I feel like all the dates I’ve been on there’s been such a disconnect

[OlderAndWiser]

How long do you spend texting before you actually talk voice-to-voice?

[Melody7685]

Well so far it has varied from person to person. Some it is 2-4 weeks other refuse which to me feels like a red flag? But half the time I can’t even get them to have a conversation over text so I don’t feel like a priority of any sorts

[OlderAndWiser]

I'm not sure what the deal is with your generation but they seem to have a much lower drive to date and find a partner.

[Melody7685]

Yeah honestly I don't know what’s wrong with my generation either 🥺 it’s this hookup culture ruining everything

[Avicenna]

It's easy to get flings and hookups on dating apps, but a lot harder to find a solid relationship than IRL.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I can't get either

[Avicenna]

@WanderingLoveWizard: Are you being too picky on looks?

[Melody7685]

That’s the sad part I get people wanting the benefits of the relationship but don’t want to commit. They still want to talk to other girls etc… and I’ve read several bios and gone through peoples dating profile to see what they want and I’m like why are you even putting “relationship” as what you’re looking for but your words are saying something else

[WanderingLoveWizard]

@Avicenna
Actually the opposite. I swipe right on everyone lol. I mean I used to when I was on Tinder.
Maybe that was my problem... Tinder

[Avicenna]

@WanderingLoveWizard: Yeah, Tinder. Try Bumble instead.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Maybe I will 👍

[WanderingLoveWizard]

@Melody7685 You're exactly right

[KrakenAttackin]

@Melody7685. That's called "hookup culture" and it was created by women.

[Minahh]

I've been on a dating app for 6 months now. I got more than 500 matches yet not a single date. I don't know if I'm on the wrong app or there is higher power at work for me to stay single.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I'll date you

[WanderingLoveWizard]

(I'm kidding. Don't hurt my feelings)

[Melody7685]

I have gone out on dates but it just seems like nothing comes out of it. And I can’t explain it. I mean some of these guys really aren’t right for me which I can tell after the 1st date or second. But it’s just weird..: I’m 25 I’ve tried dating men as old as 32 still nothing like they always want casual and I am wanting long term where are the men ready for commitment

[KrakenAttackin]

@Minahh. 500 matches and you can't find a guy to date? The problem is between your ears.

[Minahh]

I'm not going to ask a man out figure why they're not taking women out because they just want to fuck around 🙃

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Minahh dear, even if they did just want sex, they would still play the game and ask you out.
So I have to ask... are you making assumptions and ghosting some of these men?

We don't all know what to say to girls on dating apps, and can often come across the wrong way. Even when our intentions are pure

[WanderingLoveWizard]

I mean 500 is a lot. A LOT a lot

[KrakenAttackin]

@Melody7685. Is someone "picky" 😂😂😂😂.

[Nxtawm]

I’ve only gone on dating apps once just for fun, see what it’s like and troll

[Kaamraj]

In general dating is much easier for women than men on dating apps. It's because they are mostly passive, finding most men unattractive (swiping left) whereas men have a more normal distribution of whom they find attractive. Note, to get a date is easy, to get sex is easy but to find commitment is difficult because men dont owe you their commitment.

[BlackJeep]

I got a lot of dates but usually just first dates. I found better women irl

[Melody7685]

Where do you meet typically meet people worth dating

[BlackJeep]

Actually I had the best luck on LinkedIn but sometimes when I was out shopping.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

The only luck I've ever had on dating apps is when I offerered them money.
Otherwise I felt like a medium, because I met plenty of ghosts

[ProbablyClueless]

Literally every person has a hard time on dating apps. Even the people who are great at dating hate dating apps.

[Melody7685]

It just seems to have gotten harder in the last year

[ProbablyClueless]

I haven't been on any of the apps for a few years. They may have gotten worse, but I stopped using them because of how bad they were back then.

[Minahh]

That's like so true

[RHK36]

Yeah, but it ain't on me. All the women I've met on dating apps basically act like fuckboys. I just stay single with a sneaky link because that's the best option at this point. I doubt I'll get married again.

[bananapeels]

Women destroyed online dating. I could write a book, but no one would care.

[MementoMori777]

dating apps aren't dating apps, they are hookup sites lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I have issues with dating apps.

[Noodle_fan]

tinder in here basically have a lot scammers , basically dude make fake accounts using girls pic

[zagor]

Yeah I gave up on those a couple years ago. Had several first dates, no second dates from online. Usually by mutual consent.

[mommymommymommy]

I do not use dating apps. Especially paid ones. They're all scams. GO OUT, find people the RIGHT WAY

[Anonymous]

its too late

Christ has revealed the truth

tons of men do not want to date now

most of them will just look for sex

I chose another option

[Anonymous]

No. But then again I only do dating apps for the entertainment.

[Rangers]

Dating apps are a waste of time

[Danny_dan92]

I honestly only go on them now to kill time lmao

[normandi]

most are fake people
