Hey, do you guys know any kind of online dating app besides Tinder or Grindr?
Of course, a normal dating app, not an otaku one.
Do you guys use one? If yes, which one and would you recommend it?
It's ok to be a dating app for phone or PC/laptop, it doesn't matter as long as it's a good one.
And also, it can be a dating app for both straight or gay people. I'm bi, so I can go with both. I want to find a person who have a lot in common with me and maybe even start dating, and I don't care what their gender is.I just feel lonely sometimes and I should think that I really need to start dating someone, even if it's juat online dating, maybe it will turn out to even turn in real life dating after a while, who knows.
Idk why, but I find very hard to find someone who is similar to me in real life, so I thought I should go with online dating from now on.
I mean, I am good looking, I finished uni, I have a good personality, I have a job, so I can earn my own money, I don't need my parents help, but for a reason everybody that I have a crush on, seems to already be in a relationship with somebody else, and everybody who have a crush on me turns out to be a creep or stalker, or some weirdo of some sort, and I can't understand why I can't find a person with similar hobbies. It doesn't even need to be similar to me, we just need to have at least a few things in common.
So, can you guys help me?
It was good if MAL had a dating app, but not all of us are searching to be in a relationship with hardcore weebs.
And to make things more interesting, and not just a helping thread, do you guys date someone? What is your sexual preference and what gender are you? Are you guys searching for a relationship, orwould you like to be alone for the rest of your life?
Please, don't forget to tell me about an useful dating app, since this is the main reasor for this thread.
Thank you, and sorry for such a long text.

You could try OkCupid. I'm handsome and I got like 5 likes, but you have to pay to see who liked you. Honestly I've had better luck meeting women in real life and on MAL. Hell, I actually managed to even secure a date with somebody I met in real life. Yeah, I just gave up on online dating.

Just to answer your questions.

Yes I've dated someone fairly recently, but it didn't work out for reasons I won't discuss.
I'm bisexual, but I have a slight preference for women over men. My gender is male.
Yes, I'm currently searching for a relationship.

I'd be inclined to help if I knew how to, but I've never felt comfortable going straight to romance via an app/site designed for that sole purpose. I find it hard to engage in and to try and establish a personal connection with someone when it's basically already decided that we both started talking to each other purely out of romantic/sexual interest. Don't get me wrong, I dont' have anything against it, but it feels off to me if I don't get to know someone normally before I start dealing with affection. Be it face-to-face or online.

I'm not sure about being alone. I love to give affection, but it stresses me to provide for another in such a personal way. Of course, hypothetically speaking, I'd love to truly care for someone again, but I'm having a hard time sorting out my own life, and I don't wish to burden others with it. After I've settled down properly, and find the time to take the road of romance again, I'm sure I'd enjoy it.

But that's all for the future to decide; For now, I think I need to fix all of the problems by myself. I can't keep relying on others. Perhaps 2019 will bring good fortune.

You should put that on your profile on said dating apps. "I am good looking, I finished uni, I have a good personality, I have a job, so I can earn my own money"

Definitely sounds like 10/10 dating material with a "good personality"

I generally use the IRL app. The internet stuff hasn't ever worked for me, but IRL has. Be friendly, be open, scope interests in a group setting and stuff can happen. However, if you don't get out into populated areas much, start doing that more. I had to make an effort with that because I worked so much and in a very nice but very isolated suburb and have a hard and fast no dating co-workers rule.

Side question, what is an otaku dating app? Is that really a thing? I'm guessing it's creepy waifu type stuff and not real, but this is my imagination.

I know a lot about them Op. But I won't recommend any. Why would you date somebody when you have tons of anime to watch? There're also waifus with perfect personality. Most people are pretty shity and dating will cost you money as well as time.

I don't have tons of anime to watch, have you even check my list before saying this?
And also, I'm not a weeb, so I'm not into 2D people, I'm into 3D ones, you know, the ones that you can actually touch and talk to.

I only know tinder and as deg said, maybe it is better sticking to it due to the bigger pool of people using it. I have some friends swear by bumble, so maybe it is good as well, I never tried it out. Maybe it is better in a sense that tinder is almost fast fuck at this point where I am from.

I never dated and I do not plan to.

I've heard stories of people dating through MMOs, but I'm not sure if they'd count as apps. I'd personally never go down that path as I treat "everyone is a guy in real life" as one of the axioms of the internet. Imagine learning that girlfriend you met through a game turned out to be a 40 year old man all along. I'm not interested in pursuing relationships by means of real life either though. If I get lonely and want companionship, I can just get a dog or something.

you'd be surprised especially nowadays with the amount of Epic Girl Gamerz

you're not wrong that a lot of randoms probably are dudes but when it comes to interacting with guild mates and stuff it's pretty easy to tell if an alleged female is real over voice chat

Hi,
OkCupid. I have friends who've met spouses through OkCupid. Profiles are much more in-depth than most dating sites, and if you answer a seemingly endless series of questions, they will spit out a reasonable Match/Enemy percentage ratio on profiles to help you gauge compatibility.

just join college for a degree in biology.

Im a biology uni student and my class ratio is 15 guys to 50 girls. Not kidding.

Pretty sure im living a lot of people's fantasy life.

Biology and medical fields ares full of chicks. Not sure if your bright enough to get a medical degree but you sure could get a biology one.


And if you realise there are not many girls in your class, just look for classes where there are a lot.

Another option, you can also get undergrad in biochemistry, masters in tissue engineering and start research in genetics.

That's the surefire route for genetically engineering girls and im actually aiming for that in real MUWAHAHAHA

Tissue engineering is real. There's already lab grown meat for consumption.

Organ farming is just around the corner. If all failed you could farm yourself a lab grown vagina, no need for silicon pussies.

Education where i live is cheap so if you're from America or something... Not worth it.

If your using tinder make sure to have atleast these photos:

1. a picture of yourself without a flex (just a normal picture of you walking or someting with a smile)
2. a picture of yourself and friends to signal to girls you are safe.
3. a picture of yourself having fun (can be with friends as well).

your bio should be confident and somewhat original fitting your personality.

Good luck out there my friends.

A lot of lesser known services use a gimmick to differentiate themselves; there are for instance those that actually don't allow uploading of pictures and have text-only profiles. Tinder and Grindr are both known for their looks-based appeal and frequent unsolicited offering of penial photography.


It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate".

Discord is an option. I've tried some servers and things happen quickly. You can specify your interests and so on. Made friends on those servers as well. It was an interesting experience.

I've heard stories on MAL, and been in some. They feel closer than IRL relationships, though it could be the way I handled it; it was harder to convince me, so it could've contributed to the emotional depth. As for the other details, I'd rather not answer. Good luck though!

"I am good looking, I finished uni, I have a good personality, I have a job, so I can earn my own money"

And due to society I'd encourage Gen Y/Gen Z etc to actually practice socializing

...Not, because of the Rona

Dating is on hold

I honestly haven't used any dating apps or websites, not really interested.

ALthough I've met and had some interesting things due to the internet but wasn't really looking for anything.

I have friends who use tinder and are quite successful, I'm just not that interested but then again atm i'm not really interested in a relationship alltogether lol.

But, there will come a day when it is discovered by somebody,
And only those who should obtain it will be able to find it.

It would be much easier if everyone just dated me and called me their Onii-chan. I'm great. From my experience,

Hinge is the best dating app I have tried, mainly because of the apps design requiring you to send a message and the app encouraging people to develop a more specific profile in the form of prespecified captions and prompts rather than be open-ended yet limited. If there is one thing I have learned, most dating apps don't encourage creativity with this lack of guidance, just laziness and a bit of ineptitude. Hinge as a whole has a better culture and generally less bots and shallower people. I had better conversations, at least.

Keyword being conversations, and better being relative to Tinder, a bar so low even Hermes could not limbo under it. Bumble is similar in this regard, but a little closer to Tinder in terms of its...culture.

The issue with Tinder is that firstly of bots and scammers, and people advertising their Instagram. Or in short, 90% of men on Tinder view the opposite sex as potential one night stands and 90% of "women" on Tinder view the opposite sex as potential customers and followers. It is all just so soulless. Having or not having certain functionalities will determine the type of people who use an app like this, and I think it is rather fascinating phenomena to study, actually. Maybe one day I'll publish a study or even make my own dating app.

Imouto Meetups.

One time I said: "I don't think we are getting along and I don't want to waste your time" or something like that, and she was pissed, because she thought it was inpolite. I thought it was inpolite to pretend enjoying a date that was pretty dry and you didn't really connect.


@Risa92 If I were your date, I would have been immensely relieved by your forwardness. Had a similar experience, but I told someone they were just not very good at conversation or making an effort. When I can't tell the difference, it is really awkward.

I think what motivates a ton of people to go on these apps is a ego and loneliness, and often a bit of both. I mean, that's why I used them. This is me theorizing, but perhaps we are taught to view romantic rejection because we view it as something of a rejection of the individual rather than an expression of romantic disinterest, if that makes sense. That rejection is bad is akin to a criticism of our favorite film, we take it too personally.
