Are Dating Apps Getting Worse?
-
GETTING worse? No. They hit rock bottom like 5 years ago. You're just NOW figuring this out???

Ok, here's how it works. You and me, we're going to care for each other, and be there for each other, and support each others dreams, and hug each other, and have wild kinky sex!
What? You too are also male?
disappears into the bush homer simpson style
.......wait, that bush thing could be taken out of context.....

Ah yes. A userbase of 45 global users, all of whom are argueing over linux distros, and none of them will speak one word when a woman walks into the room.
-
Blame Match Group - they own almost all of them.

Does anyone have suggestions for anything decent dating wise since I'm sure lots of people seeing this post also want to find the best ways to date?
-
Facebook Dating is the best I've found. Completely free and the algorithm is effective.

I think at this point actual human interaction is probably more positive than dating apps. Which is a pretty sorry state of affairs and I'm not keen on it. I don't want to meet people I want algorithms to do it for me, we're supposed to live in the future damn it.

The last time dating apps worked was before 2010. Why are we apparently only noticing this issue now?
-
I'm prepared to use Windows 11 if it'll get me laid.

Plot twist: he grabs you out of the bush and kiss

Not worth it. Stay on Linux and get a Fleshlight.

If that’s the criteria, those of us who cover many operating systems will be in high demand. Hot girls in my area want to see my home lab
-
Ack! He grabs me by the bush??? Bad touch! Bad touch!
-
Ok, zero matches within 100km, and I live just outside a major US city. Of course I’m probably not the typical age …. But it must be those pesky metric units, they mean nothing here

I never really had trouble getting dates on Tinder, etc., but very few of those led to second dates. Of the people I've dated that I met without the help of apps, I probably would've "swiped left" on most of them. As another user said, general human interaction is my current route, focusing my energy on social interactions where I can meet people the old fashioned way: mostly friends of friends. That can range from get togethers at someone's house, happy hours, general meetup groups, volunteering, hobbies and/or classes.

Well shit. I just wrote up a long ass comment about why it probably sucks, but then decided I might as well try it out first. I created an account, but it won't let me log in. I enter my email and password, then it makes me do a captcha, then it just says, "An error occured. Please try again." I've tried multiple times and I guess I give up now.

All non-free and open source apps made by for-profit entities always get worse.

I found my girlfriend last October on hinge. What really made that app work for me are the ice breakers. Putting effort into a profile that highlights who you are will at some point attract the right people. And using ice breakers prompts to start a conversation was always kind of fun to check out the conversation vibe.
But it really took some effort getting started, working on my communication skills and exploring what I really like in a partner and what I like about me. It took me a year and tons of dates that weren’t a fit though.

Going out, doing stuff you like and talking to people. I love raves, so that's where I generally meet people for dates. I've gotten dates at board game evenings, doing sports, or in a museum.
You just gotta talk to someone who has caught your eye. Make sure to let them know you find them attractive and if it's mutual you've got a thing. Rejections are normal and okay, at this point I'm more comfortable with them than actually going on a date

Perhaps some sort of digital glory hole could work?
