Why are dating apps/online dating filled with so many nerdy men?

[SaraSmithishere]

The types who like video games, anime, playing board games, etc.

[BCA6010]

Probably because the bar-hopping jocks don't really have much need or use for dating apps.

In seriousness, think about what types of people, lifestyles and vocations are either uninterested or generally unable to reliably meet people in public on a day to day basis- it's generally going to be people who are absorbed in their careers, socially inept, probably not attending church meetings or Bible study classes, and not pursuing hobbies that introduce you to many members of the opposite sex, to name a few off the cuff. I know exactly one guy who met his wife on a dating app and are still together... I think all of the others in my circle of friends who are happily married met in church groups and/or were introduced by mutual acquaintances.

Jesus you should see what the women look like 😂

It’s usually some rotund woman built like a line backer with beef broad shoulders, or it’s some lady whose nose looks like a giant potato and they have a wart on the side of their mouth (no, I’m not exaggerating) or it’s some blue haired anemic looking vegan with three nose rings telling you to swipe left if you don’t support every single political viewpoint they have and that they just HAVE to tell you about. Or, my favorite, women who are so fat with so many rolls of lard you’d have to toss them in flour and look for the wet spot to find their vagina—but “thick thighs save lives.” 🤮

Oh, I almost forgot, or they have three to five children. Yay.

That’s what guys get to pick from👌
The cream of the crop.

You forgot "attention whores with makeup photos and blank profiles" that when you match they just say 'hi' and they snapchat pictures with you just sitting at home all the time because they never leave due to insane levels of depression and anxiety.

Well they’re probably single at a higher rate than other men, that’s why they’re overrepresented at dating sites. They’re probably also less likely to be in surroundings irl where they can meet women, that’s why they turn to dating sites. And then also, these interests are just vommon among men. Men you see irl probably often have these interests too but you don’t know about it because you can’t read a profile about them.

[jennifer_bloom]

People judge those who play video games and read comic books and my response to that is it’s better then looking at porn or hiring prostitutes or getting drunk or smoking weed.

[Creampiekarl420]

Porn, prostitutes, drinking and weed is all my life is now

[jennifer_bloom]

@Creampiekarl420 let me be your accountability partner - pray for five minutes a day this month and than add one minute to your prayer time every single week.

[MCheetah]

Because "nerdy men" invented and use technology more than the "cool kids" do, and the ones who hate the nerdy types are supposed to be "too cool" to be on social media or using dating apps, anyway. You can't have it both ways; hate nerds, but also use their technology and apps.

[TheSpaceGnome]

This ^

[HighValue]

Because the kind of people that enjoy those hobbies are less likely to be party people that go out and get wasted with alcohol and drugs. They figure women with that in common are likely to not be out partying either and are less available in public to meet them.

Or maybe they value compatibility and want to get to know someone first besides just purely looks, which is all someone usually knows about another person that they met in person.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Because the type of woman we like is also nerdy and likes video games, anime, etc. And the only way to meet a woman like that (as in one who is home on her free time doing those things), is either through online dating, or online gaming lobbies (the former of which, you weed out the women who are already taken by using it).

[Johnnyroyyall]

That may be partially true but

However

The meantime

Dating sites are over ran with fake profiles of women

Scammers

Only fans sellers

Fake only fans sellers even more than nerdy the nerdy friends that you speak of

[Avicenna]

A number of reasons:

They are more likely to be homebodies who are online all the time. It's much easier to message a profile than it is to approach a stranger in public and they lack confidence to approach a woman they don't know.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Those of us who don't use those apps are too busy working or going out with our partners.

[VLAD76]

Not forgetting the freaky women there's lots of weirdo females too you know?

[one1wild00]

A they may be too shy to ask in person, B They may not have a decent pool of potential mates where they are from, C they may be physically overlooked.

[RuthlessAggression]

Going to clubs, isn't what they prefer to do?

Women think that you can only meet men in clubs. That's wrong

[bamesjond0069]

Probably the same reason dating apps are filled with so many attention whores with makeup photos and blank profiles.

[Jamie05rhs]

Because the other types prefer to hit on girls in person?

[Anonymous]

Chad's don't need dating apps. They have 9 different girls they fucking through the week.

Dating apps have nerds and divorced lonely men

[Birbman]

It seems like they have to resort to that or forums where there's barely any activity

[Intothevoid666]

Because introverted men go on them because they don’t like going outside

[Twalli]

There's a reason why people are on dating sites, and not looking for girls in the real world.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yes, and its because the girl I want is at home playing on her pc and drawing, not out at a club or bar.

[Twalli]

@TheSpaceGnome I didn't find my girlfriend atceirher if those places, but it was in the real world.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Anyone I'd wanna date is inside all day glued to a screen or a sketch pad.

[Twalli]

@TheSpaceGnome why? That doesn't seem healthy. I spend most of my day inside, but I walk my dog twice a, day. I would go crazy if I never went outside

[TheSpaceGnome]

Its what I do, and I'm fine. I'm honestly more a cat person.

I do go outside, but I'm not going to meet anyone getting the mail, standing in the yard for my 15 minutes of uv, or going shopping.

As for why, because everything fun is indoors. I'm not gonna meet a hardcore gamer outside.

I'd go crazy if I had to spend much time outside, outside is boring.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I'm also not going to meet a musician outside, or a digital artist, or a science nerd.

[Twalli]

@TheSpaceGnome you'd be surprised because I have met all those types outside, except hardcore gamers

[TheSpaceGnome]

Yeah there's a reason for that, the type I want is all of those rolled into one, so she won't have time to go outside much.

[Twalli]

@TheSpaceGnome If you really want a gamer, they're nothing else. One of my roommates in college was a gamer.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I want a female atheist gamer who can draw and likes anime, sci-fi, fantasy, science, wild animals and doesn't smoke, drink, or do other drugs, and doesn't have tattoos or peircings. Also she can't be afraid of bugs/snakes/etc.

[Twalli]

@TheSpaceGnome What are the requirements as opposed to preferences? If those are all requirements I doubt you'll ever find a girl like that.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Those are all requirements, and I've met plenty of women like that, many of which who were absolutely gorgeous, none who were near my age AND are single AND in the united states though. All the ones near my age in the US were taken so far, and I only met those because I was friends with their boyfriends/husbands who I met online while gaming, and when I ask them how they met, they ususlly say "we met in highschool".

[TheSpaceGnome]

technically I did meet a few that were single in the
US, but it always said inbox full, or I had no way of contacting them.

[Anonymous]

For the same reason that it's filled with either fat, ugly or whoreish, vapid women.

[Anonymous]

I guess because that’s all they can use because they are too shy to ask out women in person

[Adronicus]

Should be obvious, weak men fear rejection.

[Adogdog]

Those are the men that can't find woman.

[BeachLuvR97]

Talk about offensive!
