You fit the first type that I considered from the very start, the people who prefer real conversation. The ones who don't want to read a list of things that the person on the other posted. Finding it out in conversation > reading about it beforehand, but don't want a hookup app like Tinder either.
I have spent a LONG time trying to get this off the ground and my background in college has helped me trying to cover the needs of all, it is no secret that all of these apps suck for those who are more comfortable in person. I have been researching for over a year now as to why everything so far sucks IMO.
Yea, its ass. And tinders dime, in real life, can be a lemon. Bold in the profile, cold in person.
For instance, just speaking of me, im 5'7 184lbs. On a profile if i listed those stats, I'm fukking bushed. And i take, what i consider, awful photos. Like looking in the mirror, i have a slight idea what other people see, but pictures, angles emphasize my huge lips, nose, ears, whatever. A lady i might have came off quirky and cute in the grocery aisle will see a drow elf looking mothafukka on a dating app. I lose the advantage of witticism and charisma if i cant see them first. Same with women, posing and shyt, pretty face, next thing i know, in person she is 30+lbs heavier than i imagined, lacks fashion sense, and myspace angled the fukk outta her profile. I want what i saw in those pictures, a slimmer, confident, outgoing girl who "loves to laugh" but instead i get a slightly awkward chick who clearly used her best clothing for her profile pictures. Had i run into her during a college class or something, what i see would have been what i may have wanted, not the "best foot forward" approach she took which is the nature of dating apps and websites.
