The great millennial garbage gyre

I don't think 29 year olds are millennial, are they? Or is this an older meme?
'96 is often cited as the cutoff year for millennial, so they'd be mixed 29/30.

Looking forward to getting back on dating apps at 38

Target the divorced MILFs. That's your best bet. This also applies if you're a cis-het woman.

The spirit of it is there

Look, I did it at 47. Take the time to make a good profile, ask for help on pics and be an authentic you. It’s a mess out there, for those that never try.
ask for help on pics
I would like to second this point, especially if you're not practiced at taking selfies. I've seen some fine looking men IRL whose profile pictures looked like potato.
It doesn't have to be this way. People like to help, and most would be happy to see you meet someone special. Might as well ask.

We're kind of in-between generations but I think most of us have more in common with millennials than with gen z.

A confounding issue is the apps themselves have gotten worse over time. Like, old okcupid you could search. You could type in like "final fantasy" or "the Mets" and find people who liked those things enough to put them on their profile.
Now you're limited to whatever the app decides to give you. Well, the app doesn't want you to leave so that incentive doesn't line up.

I may or may not be one of these people that suck at selfies. But damn if my profile pics weren’t top amateur talent from my sister. I may not have had dating life partner success(yet), but I’ve had a good number of dates that went some distance.
I repeat for those not listening: Effort pays off.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I know a lot of people in that age bracket and I'd say "affiliation" with those is pretty much split down the middle. Some got a job straight after school and matured into skinny jeans wearing adults while others spent some time fucking around after school and thus experienced the shift of meme culture, fashion and whatnot when they were still in their formative phase.

They are making a mentally ill frankenspecies.

If that's the face you make looking at the trash floating on the surface at that age, you're gonna love the "whale fall" experience of the years that follow after — to say nothing of finally reaching the sea floor and it's just crustaceans forever.

I just got so sick of using the apps and their crappy interface. I can never remember if left is good, or right is good. Who designed that was a good idea?

well, no shit, put on something cute and go poke around the meat department exuding cluelessness at a fancy grocery store in the nice part of town. Find some strapping adult man to “ask” if he knows the difference between skirt and brisket.

You'd do way better by doing that in the cheese aisle.

You also had decent profiles where you could write more texts about you. That could give you an idea of who that person is. There is a difference between "Tea or Coffee? - Tea." and "Tea or Coffee? - I like green teas but also some black teas like assam. I sometimes bake scones to eat with the tea."
A lit of modern apps don't even give you the option to show your personality more. -
Is she surprised by the lach of pedophiles?
Why would they use Tinder?

Can someone explain this to me? Are all of the men just setting their age range really low, or is it a matter of all the "good" people being paired up by that age?

Welp seeing as how garbage dating apps are due to being optimized to keep you using them instead of actually finding a longterm partner, and all being owned by about 2 or 3 different holding companies...
Might as well shoot my shot here:
36 m, opinionated autist seeking female autist within ... i dunno, +/- 5 my age.
(trans fem ok, ambi gender ok, just please don't be a fully advanced, PHD level bedroom = pigsty goblin)

Fuck me that's bad, last I used it was in 2019, and even then it wasn't fantastic.

A lot of the more popular ones, okcupid included, all got bought up by Match Group and almost immediately started trending anti-consumer in their updates or removal of features. They want you paying, they don't give a shit about success.

100%. Match group should be broken up.

How to Catch a Predator is exactly the opposite - shadowy online interactions where you don’t know what’s really going on.
When an obviously fully adult woman in her cutest yoga pants asks you, an obviously fully adult man, about meat - everyone is 100% aware of the situation.
