Dating apps is not serious, they only want your money. It forces people to focus mainly on looks, and some text (bio). That's all you have to get to know someone, instead of having a real world phsycial meeting, where you can acually see the other person face to face, hearing the tone of voice, seeing their bodylanguage, the gestures, face expressions. All those things are gone in dating apps, and they are very important (in my opinion) when reading shocial cues. Also pictures on dating apps are SO easy to fake, or edit to alter your real appearance. I'm from 1989. I remember the time back then where people would have a lot more of social gatherings, with family and friends. Kids hanging out on the playgrounds for hours together, inventing their own games to play! You could go out, and sit down a swing, alone and not long after groups of kids rushed to the playground, and asked you to play with them! (how i miss those simple days) Then smartphones, and shortly after dating apps came along, and changed the dynamics for the worse! We've forgotten how to talk to each other properly, and i stronly believes dating apps combined with smartphones has big role as to why. Not the only reason by far, but strongly enough to see the dynamics splitted up, and people getting more and more lonely, and withdrawn from social interaction with other persons. It ain't pretty.
As many already stated and I just a minute ago replied to another dating-app-thread. Dating-apps now days are ONLY a business model.
How can we make the most from these guys to throw their moneys at us?
Well, give them bot-matches, so they can buy gold-sub, therefore they can see these bots OR girls who already matched up with 87902 others in her line.
"Promise" them first-in-line , so you will be seen faster...
Promise first-in-line-message, so you will be seen first among these free-unread-messages.
But dating-apps gives you from 0.001% chance to get potential partner, to 0.002%.
As many other mentioned in other forums. * Do cold approaches, none does this these days - IF you've a charisma of pure gold * Go hiking * Churchgroup * Do sports
These increase your chance by around 1-20% depending of your town and of course luck.
The social climate today has made it so that men aren't allowed to approach women without being called a creep. I know that 90% of the time that doesn't happen, but it's a lot more common than in the past. Which makes men a lot more reluctant to make the first step.
Dating apps aren't great, but they definitely help this issue. You're not a creep for approaching a woman if she wants to be approached. It creates a safe zone for romantic interactions
Dating apps are not worth the effort. I have never met a quality guy off a dating app. I also agree that most dating apps do not take meeting people seriously... they just want your money or advertising money. In many ways they actually work against your success.
Honestly speaking, for my personal experience of them, my opinion is midway.
A lot of time spent, especially for guys, and almost no match because girls are literally submerged by likes (like it does happen on every social). It does seem exist 10 men for every woman. Plus, they’re full of fakes, bots and unused profiles, so their effectiveness is very low. On the other side, I can say those apps are one of the few ways an introvert person has to find (hopefully) a match, that is almost impossible in real life. A person can present himself well and maybe one in a while will match… this contributes to give a little ounce of hope and faith to those who don’t find a way in reality.
Resuming, my personal opinion is that dating apps are literally the worst but they’re still better than anything.
I think the problem with dating apps is that turned relationship into a business model. Dating apps can be helpful I think for people that are not surrounded by people their age or for people that are in some way socially awkward since there barrier to ask someone out is in principle lower on a dating app. The issue is rather that many dating apps are programmed to generate money rather than bring people together and that many people are on dating apps because they are bored and looking for entertainment.
Overall I would say pretty bad, for average men it is a disaster, only 20% of men get swipes. For guys that are players, it is Heaven on earth. It is so easy to get laid off those apps. But it is really hard to find someone meaningful. Overall I don't think they will replace dating per se, but they have definitely made things more complicated. But so has social media, smartphones, text messaging, really any technology. There are things about them I absolutely love though, I don't want kids and I can filter that out Simply on my profile. So overall... I give them a B.
women only want to be approached by hot men, not ugly men and dating apps give them that option to do so and then they try to gaslight ugly men that they lack X, Y and Z in the mental department for not approaching women in public
regardless of how we'd like to shit on dating apps, fact remains it's the number way for couples to meet these days
without dating apps, men were "forced" to approach women but women were also "forced" to be approached by men. the latter of which is still being shamed into men while women are allowed to not have to endure their end of the bargain anymore. if she doesn't want to it's because she doesn't "feel safe". men's feelings on the other hand, don't matter at all
They're more of a microcosm than the disease for the negative effect they've had. The real negative and culture that these apps thrive from was established by social media.
Zuckerberg is a slimy scum bag and history will remember him as such
Like most people, I'm not a fan. I think that the dating apps have helped some people in their quest for love, but I think most people just walk away from them hurt and damaged.
