After my divirce, I had several dates with wonen I met on a dating site. I met my wife on a dating site. And I know several couples who met on dating sites.
Like most things, dating sites work for some people, not for others. It partially depends on how much effort you put in it.

In all honesty, stick to the main ones (Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, and if you’re a christian HOLY) because you’ll for sure talk to real people on there. I’ve encountered too many bots or will match with people from the other side of the world on the other ones.
In person just doesn’t work for me. If I match with someone on a dating site then I know we both want the same thing, no guessing or ambiguity.
Also, I saw a stat the other day that said 60% of people meet their partner online these days. If you want to increase your chances of finding someone, online is the way to go!

I tried 2 before.. 97% of dudes in my area were only looking for hookups but would try to play the game that they weren't. I did talk to 2 guys who were serious but they were both from across the river which is in the states lol. One was willing to come across for a date and he seemed genuinely really nice and funny but I cancelled 2 days before because I thought he was out of my league. I didn't give him a reason and then he proceeded to block me lol. I then deleted the apps.. it just wasn't for me lol.

Apps are for hookups, and hookups are for wasting your life until you're too old to enjoy creating a family with someone.
Unless you're imperfect in any way, then apps are to make you feel like a leper.20 Reply

If you're a good-looking man and also reasonably lucky, then maybe after 100s of hours over the span of months or years, you can secure 1-5 first-dates that don't turn into anything.
That's it. And every year, these apps become more and more broken for men.
The solution is for men to stop using them.
Seriously, just stop using them. The results do not justify the time investment.
They also distort the REAL LIFE dating market by giving girls the illusion that they can easily get male attention without putting in effort.
Most women are not smart enough to learn experientially that the reason why it's ostensibly easy to attract men initially but not easy to find good men who will invest in them and stick around is actually because the women were never attractive in the first place (and not because men suck).
10 Reply Yes they are
They don’t replace real life interactions but can be an extra avenue for meeting potential partners
Many people have many takes on the matter but the fact remains:
They work
If they didn’t no one would be using them00 Reply- 24 d
They certainly gave life experience - some folks are scammers, men posing as women, trans converts, women scammers, etc, and just plain too good to be truers.
It's worth it for the life experience and realising what sort of weirdos are out there man lol 😆 and in the end I'm sure women probably have similar experiences - and some few good experiences if any. On the plus side, I'm glad I used dating apps in my 20s, I'm now retired from them at 30 :) / 30s now11 Reply- 24 d
So just like getting out in the world or working in workplaces / multiple workplaces over time, you see a lot, learn a lot, and more than those who stay sheltered or never get on the horse at all horse 🐴🐴 anyways ☺️🙃 cya
I know few couples who are together thanks to daring apps , but I still don't see that dating apps connects majority of people, datings apps are happy if members pay them , nothing else matters 🤔 I do use dating apps , but I don't pay ( if I pay, it is an offer and then I cancel) but I'm a sceptical about them , always aware that profiles are not real , agents do the job , AI and bots etc 🤔

For long term, your chances are slim to none, unless you try international, then you actually have a decent chance.

They’re good if you want something casual.
