For those struggling with dating apps

[2 one 3]

Something has definitely changed with dating.

Everyone is hella expendable now, due to apps. Easy to get rid of someone who you think is 8/10 in hopes that the next swipe is 10/10.

Illusion of choice. Paralysis analysis. We were probably better off as humans only being able to connect with people in our immediate vicinity.

100%

Everyone can simply swipe left or ghost. Having access to so many people at your fingertips really has taken the genuine joy of getting to know somebody out. But you hit the nail on the head. Illusion of choice.

And it’s even worse because women have such inflated egos online by all the thirsty dudes that are hitting them up on all of these different social media platforms. You are fighting with dudes in her IG DM’s, dating app dms, work husband, and randoms…

also, I think the apps, by nature of being convenient, invite a lot of people who aren’t dating in earnest.

Lots of people in relationships, situationships, separated marriages, semi divorced mixed in with those who just get bored curious need attn etc.

Where as back in the day you had to go out somewhere to scratch those itches, now you can just hop on an app and upload a few pics.

I’ve come across a lot of those situations being single. Hell I was one of those people when I was in my situationship years ago. So I know all the signs

Been a long time since I’ve touched those I do well irl my philosophy is that if she’s on an app she’s there for a reason and that reason is not for me

“You're on a dating app unironically for one reason. Nobody you've ever met and found attractive in real life wanted you.”

I'm getting the matches but none of them are translating to dates , compared to just earlier this year when I had something
lined up every weekend.

I truly feel like it comes and goes in waves.

This is without a doubt false and a very shallow and dumb narrative

Got back on the apps late last fall after getting out of a relationship in July of last year. I dunno what changed , definitely not my looks, but I am STRUGGLING, even with the mud ducks . I'm 40 now and hadn't been on since 36 or maybe early 37, so maybe that's it!?

Damn...you might be right. I don't think 40 is old but maybe these chicks do?

Go outside and meet women IRL

They want:

Lunch
Brunch
They will settle for a rooftop venue that serves fukking Captain crunch

As long as they can dress up and spend your money.


Lace fronts, Peach fuzz, fupa, and some dried up honey is what you’re gonna get…

And you better be happy got damnit…

Dating apps were a buffet when I was on em…

all types of chicks were with the business.

Good looking girls were plentiful. Had one of the best conversations of my life with this French lawyer.
