| I'm an old head and dating (more like Casual Sex) apps just make me scratch my head. Go out and just live life. You see someone that strikes your fancy... Shoot Your Shot (as the young folks are fond of saying). Seriously. Just say something. If they don't want to talk, fuck it. If they do... give it your best. LOVE overall is something that exists, but the way that it has been promoted through multi/mass media over the past 40 years alone is bullshit. Relationships are work. Most today seem to just "hang out" and eventually fuck. I'd say forget the whole dating apps thing and live life and GO FOR IT when an opportunity presents itself. Play the averages. And if you get shot down... take it classy don't be a dick/bitch. A lot of times the person who rejected you may change their mind since in our world today it's almost expected for someone to be an asshole. Point in case, I once just went for it with someone I felt probably wouldn't go for me, especially with her friends around. She shot me down, and I was like: "Ouch. Damn gonna shoot me down eh? Damn give a guy a shot at the title... Brrr... Chilly." she was all: "Shot at the title?" "Yeah, of being your man." she's all: "Whatever." (her and her friends laughing and stuff). "Alright. Hurt a fool eh? Not your type, must like pretty boys and I'm rugged. I get it. Great for you, sucks for me. " laughing. "Well... you and your friends have a nice night, can't blame a guy for trying, right?" then walked the fuck off. One of two things was gonna happen with how I handled that. #1) NOTHING. #2) the question mark of a guy not being an asshole and just blowing it off making it a joke almost gets her CURIOUS. More often than not #2 ends up being the case. So then a bit later, they approach you. If they do. YOU'RE IN. If not... move along and try again when someone else strikes your fancy. These days people are lonely and don't wanna get rejected either, so someone has to just go for it. just an example though. |
| In theory, there is not much wrong with it; in practice, nigh everyone there is a bourgeois, desperate, lonely, superficial, genderfriend, which is of course to be expected since almost all of them have mechanisms based on pictures and gender. Perhaps one that had no profile pictures or a gender-based matching system would attract a more pleasant crowd, but I also think that such lonely people that need them are very often superficial genderfriends. The other issue is that the matching system might very well be ineffective by design, since making it too effective would effectively loose them customers. Much as medicine, it is a business where success eliminates a customer, so what they want is offer the illusion of progress, all the while keeping succes away. |
 Frankness be, I have this in my signature for little other reason than that I'm reading it, and that it's not in the M.A.L. database, thereby establishing proof that I liked it when it was still underground. |
| I used tinder for a while. Got some dates and one was my girlfriend for a while. The app sucks ass tho. Guess all of them do. I prefer meeting folks irl a lot more. |

| Its a good metric to test your attractiveness If you get 10 matches as a guy after swiping for 1 month you are normal and should have no problem to get in a friend group and have sex in private parties like most do |
| Honestly you'd have better luck getting to know someone here, with romance blooming. In stead of dating applications. |
 |
| It is much better to get to know someone IRL randomly than using dating apps. You just need guts to do that If you have good attitudes and neat appearance, girls will prefer you to get to know them IRL than dating apps |
 |
| Dating apps are for tall attractive guys, and girls looking for chads to bang. If you are average-ugly guy dating apps are a waste of time and dating irl in general. |
 |
| Online dating is dangerous. I wouldn't attempt it. I am not sure if it is possible to safely date via the Internet. It is too easy for hackers (and other cybercriminals) to pose as a woman...to compromise your security on dating websites. Just stick with irl dating. It is much safer. |
| never use dating apps heck i rarely use social media like facebook or twitter i rather shitpost here on mal forums instead |
| Sure would, but I never needed them so far. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| I used tinder and I only got obese girls interested in me. I'm gonna stick to irl and that works for me. |
| I have tried, and it did not go well. Not only are men at a disadvantage due to the userbase being predominately male (so you have a lot of competition and a lower chance of people discovering your profile), but you need to put effort into taking photos and writing good prompts, which is not something I did. I eventually decided to delete my profiles since I wasn't taking it seriously enough to actually see if I had a decent chance. |

| All the men on them have been dogshit in my opinion. Very predatory mostly. |

| @deg sounds like a good idea. Facebook is extremely unsafe to use. Setting aside the NSA survelliance on it, there are countless hackers and scammers on Facebook. |

| @Amityblight I should probably try more on Bumble imo. I hear it is a good option. |

| Like I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't be too trusting of online dating apps. There are too many scammers and hackers on them; pretending to be women...when in fact, they are not. The only relatively safe way to date is IRL. That online dating stuff is too unsafe. Facebook and Tinder? I totally don't trust it. Forgot about online dating. |
| I don't recommend dating apps. Most of the people on there are creeps or people who are catfishing you. You should expect lots of messages after your first day from people who just want photos from you. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, I feel like dating apps make you forget that there is a world out there and you should meet people and get to know them better! |

| Dating apps got too popular, and ultimately they make money off of you being single, not dating. |

| @DesuMaiden I like your healthy take, as usual. But... dating apps let you penetrate all those hackers trying to penetrate your firewall! Think smart, be step ahead of them! |

| @LoveYourSmile I wouldn't be doing anything too risky online. I do not impersonate as someone else online. I try to be my genuine self online. But there are definitely hackers (out there) pretending to be someone they actually aren't...to hack/compromise other people's safety online. |
| I use them when bored, but honestly? Many straight up are tempting me to misogyny and cynicism because you will see the worst aspects of otherwise normal people on that app. I do not say this as a joke or to justify a hatred of women, but that the way these apps are tailored, the way they are used, and the attitudes that they encourage among its users, is detrimental to people’s health. Instead of merely helping to facilitate a need, most are incentivized to monetize loneliness and misery. It is difficult to not have my opinion lowered of women and men based on my experiences on this app and how men and women treat the opposite sex. If I were in a far worst position I would probably be red-pilled. If you are going to use these apps, then do not use them too seriously. Have an active life outside the home. I occasionally do meet women, though nothing really comes of it. |

| downloaded tinder when I was 18 for a week... felt awkward, deleted it. if I want to hook up with a stranger I'd much rather take my chances at the bar, club, or music festival. I don't want to hook up with strangers though lol so I'm in luck |
can't yuck my yum  |
