Amanda92 Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Hi! I would like to create a topic about our dating life. We could exchange our experience and support each other on a daily basic. What dating apps do you use and how long? I started using Tinder and Bumble 1.5 years ago. I am looking for a normal relationship. I don't want to talk about getting married and having kids yet, but I don't want to be a FWB. I met 20 guys, but most of them only once and I was dating 5 guys, but no longer than 3 months. Before it I was in one long relationship. How about you?
Calmandfocused Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 Your stats and your duration of app usage is exactly why I came off dating apps a few months ago. I think I’d rather be a prostitute than get back on those apps anytime soon .
ccas93 Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) the apps are a pain in the ***. Esp Bumble. I've had that app for years and have found plenty on it, but never anything satisfying or long-term from it. Hinge is a little better but it seems most people just want to collect matches and very few people actually are looking to talk. It's said that it's designed to be deleted and it is - but out of frustration. Tinder gets crapped on the most, but tbh I think it's the easiest one because very few people are on there with all the weird expectations that they might have on hinge and bumble.

Otter2569 Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 I recently joined eharmony (a pay site) and Tinder. They are both pretty underwhelming. I have gotten plenty of hits on both but gotta give the edge to Tinder - the people are better and more proactive. I previously used Bumble and ended up in a 5 year relationship so you just never know. 2
jdesey Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 The apps have become a joke. Just a way for women to get some attention. Most of them have no desire to actually meet a guy 1

Most of them have no desire to actually meet a guy To be honest this is what I feel about men. They just stop replying and don't want to put any efforts in dating.
glows Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 You'll need to be very selective about the ones you meet or decide to see in person. I signed up for online dating for a few weeks in 2020 and out of hundreds of messages and four meet ups, I met one man who I liked but after the third date, decided not to pursue it. He was very incompatible. I signed off after about four weeks and haven't been online dating since.
Wiseman2 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 The right apps for you specifically, depends on your location, age, preferences etc. For example what works in a metro area is different than sparser areas. Do you want hookups?A relationship? Also there are paid vs free apps. There is also niche apps. Dating apps are like running shoes. It's all about what fits an is comfortable for you.
smackie9 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 By the sounds of it, years ago it was a great option...now it's contaminated with predatory types, people that are socially inept, people with severe mental health issues, scammers, hookers, married looking for strange, etc. Now it just a pretty bad thing.
chillii Posted January 8, 2022 Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) l must admit , couldn't complain when l was on date sites yrs back, met some nice women. Did also see all the crap going on to though but that was very easily spotted. Edited January 8, 2022 by chillii
