Why does it always have to be an either/or thing? Using dating apps doesn't mean you can't also approach women in real life
Online apps attract a lower quality of female at higher prices. What you typically get is a lot of average to below average women bidding over a few higher value guys. As a guy even if you're attractive it's an L. You're dealing with chicks who are far below you in terms of looks. You could scoop far higher quality of women in real life.
I personally don't see the point for why any guy would use a dating app. Average guys get zero play so it makes no sense for them. For attractive guys it makes no sense as well unless you're a 9/10 that likes banging a bunch of 4s and 5s.
If you're a good looking guy you'll have a way better chance of bagging way badder bytches if you approach them in real life than through a dating app.
