Yes most of them are filled with scammers that are trying to fool you into falling for their dumb shit , why it’s. Important to have common sense when messing around on the internet. Do not give any of your personal information to nobody off the internet , if someone truly likes you and wants to meet you , they will not hesitate to prove to you that they are legit , if they make excuses that they can not video call you or meet you on another site to verify who they truly are to you , so you can both see each other face to face , they are talking out their ass and you are best to move on from them and not waste anymore of Your time with them , not only is their scammers there are a lot of catfishes as well, that try to pretend to be someone they aren’t , there are a lot of twisted sick individuals in this world that have that mental mindset that sadly they need some serious help with. So just play it smart before you screw yourself. A legit person is not going to hesitate to prove to you that they are legit.

"A recent survey revealed that around 35% of online dating platform users have had at least a six-month relationship. What Percentage of Online Daters Get Married? Almost 14% of online daters get married to someone they met on a dating site or app."

In fact, on April 27, I married Helen, who I met on zoosk. com in December 2020.

One thing some people don't register right away is that dating online is no different from dating in real life. I know guys who date thousands of people they meet online thinking the girls they meet online will have different standards than girls they meet in real life. It takes them around 20 years to find a match cause they went there trying to punch above their level. It's like thinking Spanish people you meet in France speak a different type of Spanish from Spanish people you meet in Spain. it's the same language, even if you meet in a different setting.

Okcupid is not that bad. I enjoyed the questionaire. It's more about discovering myself. I haven't met anyone from the app though.

.

There is another one I think it's 100% fraud. The first time I was there, lots of hot guys sent me "love letters". It's so doubtful because in reality no one cares. It could be bots and algorithm to fish people to pay more. It should be illegal.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, I met my SO on a dating site. And before I met her, I dated several women that I met on dating sites. I know a few happily married couples who met on dating sites.

Sure, there are bots and fakes on dating sites/apps, but there are real people there as well.

NaultD · Answer

It was more of a stopgap to our doom of late-stage capitalism. Bottom-dollar profits don't feed the human soul. We need to flip the table of our entire economy to sustain human life, to feel alive again.

We want to "make America great again." But when was anyone happy? We have a Death of a Salesman husband watching James Bond wanting more and wives high on every medication under the sun.

You're a coach. If every one of your athletes had their basic needs covered, do you think they could make the impossible a reality? That feeling of feeling human and beyond is worth investing in. The reality is that families can't afford just short of making endless profits in professional leagues.

HawkPerception · Answer

There are some people that find relationships and love on dating apps. My mom found her boyfriend of 14 years on it. I found my 3rd girlfriend on Bumble, but it was super lucky... we matched then started talking immediately and talked 6 hours straight then decided to meet up first thing in the morning. I biked to her area and hour away and we decided to make it official that same day. We broke up a year later for complicated reasons, but she was great the entire time.

I just hope I can get lucky again.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

No. There's some dating apps where they're total scams and not one single person on there is real. But dating sites like Match, OK Cupid, Bumble, etc. have real people on there, but sometimes scammers do go on there to take advantage of people (which is very sad). But you can also meet some very bad people too. But hey, that's just like real life right?

caitycat21 · Answer

Yeah they are a scam, they profit off of peoples loneliness and desire for companionship. Just think about it, they make money by keeping you on the app swiping left and right for as long as possible. The way they’re made just doesn’t really promote relationship building in the way building a bond with someone authentically offline would go

dustybiker2 · Answer

Look at it from the makers perspective. Everyone wants to make money. It's needed to survive. They are targeting a source to which their goal to get the payment, they do not care about your results. If there is negative feedback they will just delete it. If they want to create the illusion of a positive experience they just fabricate matches, and members. If you don't get a date it's on you...

DannyUk2017 · Answer

Ofcourse... They are Not made with "people in mind" anymore, they are just made with "money sucking in mind", and what's worse? They "implemented A. I." to take over, so now 99.9% is A. I. generated, Chat, Pictures, Messages... So you're just a "blind idiot" shuffling through them pictures, posts, messages and "creating traffic" as no one Real to talk to you back...🤷‍♂️😅

integrale77 · Answer

Not 100% more like 60% a scam some may have honest intentions but scammers joining the site/app cause problems or the site/app is less than honest by making it look like there are people interested despite making fake profiles that appear to be interested.

purplepoppy · Answer

We all know people who found love on them, but I believe too many people think they work like ebay and you just click and buy. Truth is if you're not dateable in real life you're not going to be dateable online.

shanshu · Answer

Some are I think, where some are just automated bots responding to you pretending to be a real person but I do think some are legit but I also think this is where people take advantage of dating sites for their own gain like some men will use it to hookup and some women will use it to get menvtovgobonbtheircwebcam site or OF.

Your he lucky to find a legit person to go on a date with that will progress to something more

electromagnetic · Answer

I think they are if you have to pay extra for certain services. I’ve never used them before but my friend did tell me if she wanted certain service that narrow down searches then she has to pay a monthly fee.

jshm2 · Answer

Dating apps and sites are a BUSINESS. Hence, like any business, they need repeat customers and profit.

The best way to do that is having a constant stream of people using them in hope, and paying for the privilege.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

I heard that 'ChristianMingle. com' is a site the one can actually trust.  I don't know how true that is but it's the only site (or app) that nobody doubts and criticizes.

exitseven · Answer

I think that there are some that provide the services that they advertise. It is not their fault that people lie about themselves and use pictures they find on the internet. As long as long as you understand that I guess it is okay.

Simslover92 · Answer

No. There are people who find people on dating apps. My ex boss is happily married to a person he met on a dating app. It's few and far but they do work out for some people.

HelpfulWoman · Answer

Found my dude on match so easily not 100%. a high percentage of bots and scammers on them, but not enough to write them off. They're obvious for anyone with a brain to see through

abelisk · Answer

Tinder has many fake profiles. I have the best experience with Hinge, but I had most dates with woman on Bumble, but it's just that I don't took much effort right now into it, but Hinge is bringing the right people to you, the algorithm seems to be pretty good and not made to get you to pay.

Levin · Answer

I think they used to be better some 10 years ago. Now they're kind of scammy in that they use algorithm and psychological manipulation techniques to get you to pay.

mandyfire98 · Answer

Not 100 percent but they're designed as the fast food of dating. Fast, convenient but your order is wrong most of the time and the quality is horrible for you.

Xia1994 · Answer

I wouldn’t say they are 100 percent a scam since they have worked well for some people, but even so finding love in person seems to be the best route especially for people who online dating isn’t helping or working out for.

strateguy632 · Answer

pay... get nothing. don't pay can't comunicate anyway.

worldscolide · Answer

It depends on the dating app. Some of them are indeed scams and actually have bots to message "Free " users. the moment you pay for membership, the messages dry up. But legit ones dont do that.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

In real life numbers rarely show 0 or 100%... so I don't agree... some dating apps users are a scam for sure :D

Nikki1989 · Answer

I knew a guy that worked for Ok Cupid and would often joke about what a scam online dating websites really are.

DextroShade · Answer

Drumlin2001 · Answer

Met my fiancé in one. Previously met a couple of others. It's hard work but it's just snother way to connect to people

msc545 · Answer

There is no such thing as 100% of anything. That includes dating apps. That said, people don't take them seriously and because of that they pretty much turn into a losing proposition.

Anonymous · Answer

I'd say 80% a scam. At least make things feasible and afforadable. But an insane business model for just a profile and search..

Anonymous · Answer

Prob, there's like 4,786,395 dudes on dating apps and like 6 girls.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I think most of them are a meat market and people aren't really in it to meet anyone worthwhile. Most people lie on them and make themselves out to be something they are not.

JesseP1nk · Answer

yes.

shortster · Answer

I would say more like 90% of their users are scammers. And only 20% of the apps/sites are outright scams.

Spatmates25 · Answer

LiamJHayden · Answer

They are useless for me, but I do know one couple who ended up married off one.

No. It's mostly for sexual flings that people on there are looking for so you get what you paid for.
