Did you ever have success using a dating app?

Question

To date obviously, I know if y'all just wanted to fuck there was success all around but I'm speaking about just in dating, cause I've always believed that dating apps is where all the bad material is at, am I right? Lol

In 2018, I was on Plenty of Fish (one of my friends recommended that I tried it though I was a bit skeptical at first). There were a few guys that reached out to me but they just wanted to have "fun". One guy finally did reach out to me after the 2nd day of me using POF and he actually wanted to get to know me. We really hit it off and wanna know what the funny thing is? I did not see any pictures of him before we met in person so it could've gone downhill so fast..🫢 But we messaged each other for a few days then planned to meet up for a date. When we were about to meet up, I had to ask him for a description of himself and what he was wearing lol ( he saw my pics so he already knew what I looked like). When he finally came my way, he was pretty decent looking (and also shorter than me by a few inches). He's a year older than me. He wasn't the kind of guy physically that I would usually go for but we had a lot in common and he was a lot of fun and pleasant to be around. After 4 years of dating, he decided to pop the question, and a year after that, we got married🙂 So it's definitely very possible to have success with online dating! I kinda played a game of chance though because I did not see a picture of who I was talking to initially so that could've ended up badly 😂

I haven’t used a dating app and probably never will. I think dating apps is kinda a form of chasing. Im big on the whole attract don’t chase, believe things will come in for you if you aren’t obsessing or actively looking for it which is why the best people come into your life when you least expect it (from my experience). I deactivated my gag, twitter, instagram, facebook. Kept Snapchat but didn’t post or go out of my way to text anyone and in that time frame I was hit up by people I had added but never interacted with and sent requests from quick add more than any other time. I don't know maybe I’m delusional but I took that as a “sign” lmao. Focus on yourself and shit will come in when it’s meant to if you’re in a receiving energy

Successful getting dates? Yeah. But most women on dating apps are trash. That's why she's on a dating app. She can hide who she is. She can't do that in real life. Then the guy sees how repugnant she is.

All women lie on dating apps. And for some of the most innocuous things. It's really bazaar. It's like they're trying to create this idealized and many times fabricated version of themselves. And the saddest part is most of the don't even see how crazy that idealized version comes off.

Anymore dating apps are just entertainment to me. I'm not saying there aren't some good women on there. But they're really rare like 1 in a 100. So if you're patient you might find her. But you're going to to have to wade through sewer full of s*** to do it.

In terms of your question I would say I had some success off a dating app. I met a girl off hinge and it seemed we wanted similar things (dating to marry, wants kids, not interested in sex right away). We dated for about 6 months before I ended things. I ended it because I could never see myself marrying her the way she lives (being a germaphobe and disrespectful of your time mostly).

That was 2 years ago and I still am on dating apps but they just don't seem to work well for me and I get very very few matches. Overall I'd say you can find a good relationship there but it's tough

I find a lot of the guys who approached me for conversation were sexually motivated. It’s one reason I liked to meet guys at church or work, cause maybe, it will be about personality and not money and gratification.

I've used dating sites in 2007-2008, 2015, 2017-18, 2020. I've always had great success with the sites and I am currently engaged to a girl who I met online in December 2020.

The stupid thing I found out.. I couldn't get a date with people in my city with anyone my own age it was only guys looking for hook ups or older men. But with other guys from out of town I could get dates but I didn't want long distance, plus one guy I thought was too hot for me so I told him not to to come he only lived across the border but I didn't want him to have to come across just to see me and be disappointed or something lol I think he thought I rejected him because he blocked me.. I guess I did but it was not because he wasn't good enough or something lol

Before my boyfriend (who I met years ago in college), I had zero success finding a good match on dating apps. There was this one great guy though where we had great conversations who wanted to go out for coffee but I couldn't get past the bdsm stuff he was into.

LostandFound__x · Answer

So most of the guys are on there aren't shit lmao, but I did meet an ex boyfriend on a dating app before. He was unsuitable in many ways... but he wasn't a lying, cheating scumbag and he was actually very very good looking. The most good looking guy I've ever been with.

I have an ex i met at a dating app. I don't know if its still “success” cos we broke up, but we dated for a few months. the relationship was okay. Went on dates, hungout at his place on the weekends. I liked him a lot at the time and thought i was so happy but looking back, it was a very mediocre relationship. i never fell in love with him (neither did he i’d bet). Especially because the guy i met after him was basically my first love and it was nothing compared to how i felt for him. Bottom line, my dating app experience could’ve been worse i guess, but i won't do it again.

Emyyyy · Answer

Not me, I’ve met plenty dudes there and they’re all sex-thirsty and undesirable.

My sister somehow had success but I think she was desperate. She’s married now and recently had a baby by him. But to me he’s still broke and a total geek. They’re both gonna struggle greatly with the baby now. They’re both 23 at least there’s that 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

It depends what dating app you use. There are people who get married and stay married till they die from dating apps. But I doubt it will be Tinder lol.. there are dating apps for religious people, and more serious commitments over all.

But if you'd go for the typical dating app like Tinder and HotorNot etc I'd say you have less than 1% of finding a wife.

Before covid, yes. Now, it seems pretty much useless. Nobody seems to want a real relationship. I also have a hard time because I like people base of personality, not looks.

Anonymous · Answer

Never, everytime i use them all the girls seems to be in a higher level of mine, they wanna have the perfect one who is rich and have a nice car and can do anything she imagine, i'm definitely not that person at all, i'm not rich, i don't have a car, i can't do shit even to myself, so using dating apps is pointless for someone in my financial and social situation, even when i tried i didn't get likes despite that i don't look bad, i realized that good people don't need to use it to find partners.

Personally I have more success in person. I think maybe there are things women like about me that can only be seen face to face.

Of getting 8 million raunchy chicks who all have the same "content creator" profession to message, "Cashapp me?" Yeah, I had a LOT of success finding those! Or rather, they found me faster than flies on a fresh turd.😃
