Is online dating finished?

Tinder is definitely not finished... over 100 matches in about a week without paying for gold

Been dating my current girl almost 7 years from POF but would probably never use it again as it gives these land whales way too big inflated sense of ego. They need a reality check that they ain't squat.

That dosnt mean ****.

I messaged 36 new matches monday. 7 have replied since then. 2 are remotely interested. Only one of those interested me. And she ghosted me after a phone call.

The other problem I'm having is I'm approaching 29. I'm baby faced asf. I get called out for looking 22-24 all the time.

Women over 25, I have no interest in them. They have no glow. If they are on tinder still, they have failed at their life mission already. They have baggage. No thx jeff.

When I match with a younger broad, say 21 and they ask my age because they dont believe the 28 in my bio, they go NC

Its rough.

I'm stuck between a hard place and a rock.

I used them up until last year and then ironically ended up with someone I'd already known for years. Had a few good dates but nothing that worked out long term. Only one turned out to be a truly awful person after meeting.

That doesn’t mean anything. Try to meet up with even 5 of them and get back to me...

Lol @ thinking matches mean anything. How many of those matches have you smashed yet OP? and if any how many of those were atleast average looking? People bragging about their matches sound exactly like the validation seeking hoes that use these apps for that exact reason.

This. I've had thousands of matches over the years and have only banged 50 of them, most of whom were average or slightly above. It's hard to get even 1% of my matches to reply, let alone agree to a meet.

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

so long as chads still exists on the app online dating will exists.

all of the ugly and average men giving up has only made dating easier for women.

Reply to quick? Your a beta
Take too long? There already elsewhere

Take it slow? You're a beta
Escalate rapidly? You're too thirsty

I can never find a middle ground. I have like a 90% smash rate with all my dates. The hardest part is actually getting on a date. They are soo few in between that when it does happen, it's hard not to seem desperate for wanting to put forth some effort into the interaction.

It's like a constant lose lose lose situation. Just have to be lucky that day on how shes feeling.

Yeah exact same for me. Say ONE wrong thing and they stop responding. Sometimes I don't even do anything wrong and they still don't reply. It's unbelievably frustrating. At least with real life interactions you can make a physical impression which makes it more likely for them to consider meeting you, but with online you're just another cock amongst thousands on the screen who are all trying to meet her.

I hate it but can't stop using it because I'm too afraid to approach IRL.

Tinder/Bumble/Hinge are platforms sloots use to get an ego boost. You can smash 7+s on there but you have to be photogenic, live in a densely populated area, and sift through a lot of B.S. (more than what's it worth in my experience). Bar game is usually better/easier

Dating apps haven’t been worth using since mid 2017. The current tinder algorithm is brutal.

I had an old paid account I used to gps switch and change my location since I was in a new country every 2 months for work. As a long time paid user I guess tinder had demoted the holy fuk out of me. Came to a city and couldn’t get ANY interest. Bought a local SIM card cause I had to stay for awhile and created a new account then I suddenly had 50+ sloots liking and super liking me.

It’s bad enough you have to deal with the damaged trashy women, now the apps algorithm itself is also against you. If you can’t approach in bars it’s gonna be tough sledding for you these days

Ask this. So many won’t respond or will just drop off convo due to all the other matches she’s juggling

[PKneyr]

Who wants to date a girl who posts ass pics online and is consistently talking to 10+ other men. Do you dumb ****s really think quality women use online dating?

[CR89RA]

Damn if you think its bad now wait until the economy collapses in your kids future. For those wishing to be grandparents. Its going to be a rarity brothers. Your kids growing up through social media so there options are around the world when there only 15 lool game over bruh

[ozanyukruk]

In the city where I am located online dating became a business. Girls are taking you out to earn their commission from the restaurant, club etc.

[ascendingIRL]

lol @ online dating

I do meet up with them. Regularly. It’s a numbers game. Out of 100 matches I usually meet up with about 3-5 of them. Could be more but I have high standards. Keep in mind I’m 20 and most of the sloots I meet/smash are 18-22

3-5 out of 100 is still an atrocious figure when you think about it. But considering you're a pajeet from the looks of your AVI then it's not bad.

Still, I think we've established from this thread that online is garbage for most men.

[GordonXXX]

i like bars better. harder for them to fraud. i can (mostly) see what i'm getting and vice versa. i hate wasting my time and money on frauds.

online dating is far from dead. every single girl i know at work is or has used online dating. girls dont even have to go out anymore they can just pick from the hundreds of guys begging to meet them.

You're 33. Are the girls you're talking about also in their 30's? If so it doesn't surprise me they'd be using it. Most prime 21 year olds don't need it though.

girls from 22-38. they're all nurses.

Women aren't feminine and passive anymore. I'm pretty sure those types of girls do not exist anymore.

They do in Russia.

[DCutch]

It depends where you're at.

Here in Orlando Tinder is an absolute goldmine. You've got lots of young people who relocate here for work, TONS of Brazilians who vacation here or come to live here (I speak Portuguese so it helps me big-time), lots of college program folks at Disney, and a lot of these people use Tinder to meet other people. I used to crush it on that when I was single.

Back when I lived in Phoenix it was very mediocre.

They do, they just show zero interest in you because they are into men who have their **** together and actually act like men. You are a little boy, a whiny little child who is defeated and has zero worth, so why would they ever even give someone like you the time of day?

Height 5'8 calling people little boys lol

I'm an alpha. That is where you are getting it wrong.

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

if you’re ugly or a midget then yes it is finished.

[Yero91]

You bring up a good point about going back to cold approaching. Might be a good differentiation strategy.
