I've met people in person and on dating apps. dating apps are nice because you'll meet somebody 10 miles away you wouldve never met before, either because of distance, work, or just never crossing paths.


traditional dating is nice because you'll actually interact with that person before going out on a date, to see if you're physically and emotionally attracted to them.


they both have pros and cons, ill continue to use dating apps, but i like traditional dating the most.

I voted Other because I've not had success with either. In the times when random women have flirted with me in my 20s, I never actually wanted to date them (and so I just smile politely but ignored their flirting as just professional banter or job required smiley faces). The reason being is I have my own circumstances that would make a girlfriend difficult to maintain, you know, family commitments and other commitments on my time. Plus working like anyone else and hobbies and friends. Lol. I think both dating apps and traditional dating are as bad as each other lol as options lol 😆😆😂 and I've been stood up once on a dating app, been ignored on dating apps "silent treatment yet why they swipe me then lol" and also in real life I've had women flirt with me in their 20s also as me 20s yet since they never asked me out, I took it as friendly banter and not romantic interest. Yeah..

Dating apps are fine for those who prefer to just text flirt waste time, most win never meet and it's going nowhere, besides those apps are full of scammers just play games waste your time, when I meet someone it's with intention of getting to know each other going out , something real with someone real

[systemsareyo]

I've certainly seen my fair share of crosser dresses pretending to be straight women looking for straight guys, I often swiped them away or I blocked them 😅

[systemsareyo]

Cringe 😬

[systemsareyo]

Or creepy single mothers, creepy looking women who look like they are not in the right state of health, etc or smoke. Anyways. Or drink heavily. so I'm single merrily 😉

[LadyKitty]

@systemsareyo Don't forget those apps have the Desperate Single Dads, Unhinged Men that will say anything, Or some being looking like crack heads on there. Though I got lucky to not have found a crazy one on there. 😉

[smne35]

You were fortunate all I ran into was scammers and what's funny is the photo they use of porn actress and swear that's really them til they start asking for money

[LadyKitty]

Well then again, I didn't go on there and messaged men asking for money and it was 2015 last time I was on an app. There is men that scam too on those apps. My brother is bi for context. My brother added one and they were talking normal. He was supposedly in the military but then not even an hour in the guy is talking about that he needed money for a birthday party on base and that he couldn't leave the base etc.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Traditional dating is better, I once got 11200 likes in less than 24 hours a day, It was hard to choose who to message from so many nice and interesting men, so I messaged no one.

[Joshydavid25]

Cold approach seems to be the best way, but with the way people are becoming with public interaction, it'll be a wonder if we can still do it after a while..

[LadyKitty]

People are chronically online. We live in a world where connection is so easy but people are more lonely than ever.

[Joshydavid25]

Most definitely.. We live in a world where connections should be easier because of the broader access, but it's become harder because of it also..

[LadyKitty]

Dating Apps take advantage of the fact people are lonely too. There is a paywall for you to be able to just see if someone liked you or to boost your profile to be seen. I have seen my brother struggle so much with dating and he is only 21.

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah dating apps suck unless you look good, or take good pictures.. It's super shallow since all you go off of are a few and most likely a short bio trying to be more witty than informative.. And since the playing field is far from equal with there being more men on dating apps than women, that'll cause a lot if people to have a harder time on them..

[WrinkleBrain]

I prefer traditional dating, but online dating has more results. In person, I rarely get approached. Perhaps I'm intimidating because I rarely smile, and I hold a lot of tension in my face because I'm always focusing. I also have social anxiety, and it's difficult for me to meet people. However, in dating apps, I get many likes and matches.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, you’re not smiling in your picture at all you’re just looking straightforward on the side lol

[Iron_Man]

And why are you crying?

[RebelinSteel]

I do not like dating apps, never really worked for me, also traditional dating for me has been usually random things that often led to dating and relationships. I have met a lot of previous partners at parties, sporting events and travelling.

[NathanDavis]

well, I have never ever tried online dating or apps...

but I do believe that if I ever tried them, I would find someone interesting in there too

I just... have not had the interest or need to do it so far

[RavVid]

With dating apps you know immediately if you like the filter. I want to know if I like the girl. Face to face you know that quickly.

[Anonymous]

Traditional dating ftw!
Dating apps can be very weird and awkward and just downright depressing. Many on there are weirdos or creeps. I once got a long novel sent to me about us being together and that we were soulmates based on my profile and I hadn't even said hey yet.

[Traianus]

Dating apps are not safe because of scammers. I suggest you prefer traditional dating.

[LadyKitty]

True or they gonna send you their Only Fans!

[HighValue]

Dating apps often reveal how many women are prostitutes (only fans) and try to push that onto people that never asked for anything like that.

[CarolineW]

Dating Apps are a dangerous place. People can hide behind any identity they want.

[katiesmuff]

I never used a dating app and consider them to be generally useless.

[Iron_Man]

I think dating apps are full of golddiggers. I had a male online friend from another website many years ago he ran a test one time and sure enough he was so right

[Jamie05rhs]

I use dating apps to find someone to date traditionally.

[Miristheiss]

Normal, old fashioned dating.

Dating apps are a blight on society.

[Anonymous]

Dating apps are only good for women to fleece money from lonely saps. That's it. There's no other productive purpose for them.

[Adogdog]

Traditional, but I'm single, work a lot, and don't get out much. Online may be better for me.

[LadyKitty]

No judgement here! You do you! 😂

[RavVid]

It is definitely a good way to meet men

[LadyKitty]

@RavVid Though not the best way to keep them! They want to stay 5 minutes top!

[RavVid]

Maybe a min charge of 30 mins? That would keep them for 600% longer!

[Nikki1989]

Only people that have very little to offer are on dating apps.

[LadyKitty]

That is a broad generalization. Why do you believe that?

[Anonymous]

Traditional is best unless don’t really have anyone in your circle then you kinda gotta try dating apps

[msc545]

Neither of these have a good result typically.

[Booklover_90]

I prefer meeting someone in person.
