"Gonna dip my toe again soon. I can't imagine they've gotten any better.
What am I in for? Should I brace myself? 😅"
I’ve always found it fun and positive.
I learned recently completing them is a thing now for some women.they literally swiped left or right every single man that meets their prefs and finished the app

Hahaha not at all. They're full of ai bots and women selling their only fans. Not to mention the women that are using guys to live lifestyles they can't afford.
Look up what a foodie date is... You'll not want to download one |

I didn’t find many people wanting to “date” on dating apps at all OP. Mostly just after hook ups. I can’t be arsed to try them again. They were a drain on my soul. Hope you find what you’re looking for though 😘 |

Did you hear the story about tinder?
The guy made the app and his wife cheated on him with a guy she met through tinder... Pretty much all you need to know |

As above...
Every time I thought I had struck up an interesting conversation with a man it eventually turned to them wanting sex ... |

It's weird because women I've met and dated in RL have shown me (we both shared) their dating profiles and either not messaged each other or swiped left.

A marriage failed after cheating? This isn’t really “all I need to hear” or “new news” 🤷♂️ |

I'm not a fan my experience was either endless chat, pictures decades out of date or looking for wank fodder |

If you are the any holes a goal kind of guy and are happy being the 5th guy she's been with that week then sure they're for you.
If you're looking for a true relationship... I wouldn't even bother |

I feel like dating apps only work for women. I've got a friend and she has had 3 relationships from one. But damn she went on a lot of dates.
Also there was a study that stated that women only swipe 5% of the time. This was taken from tinder and bumbles statists.
Men would have to swipe 500 times to get a date. I don't have the time or effort for that |

Kind of. But there are a small percentage of guys in the world that are bed hopping with women.
Women have this idea that every man on the planet is surrounded by women anytime they want it. The average man will have less than 10 partners in his life. If that.
The average man hasn't had as much as a kiss in 2 years |

The last time I tried, they definitely didn't work for me. I wanted to go on actual dates and get to know people, they wanted to get laid. Tinder and Bumble are the worst ones for it. |

I think we had this kind of comment yesterday. It’s simply untrue. The under 10 partners as an average applies to both men and women. And obviously that’s an average.
I’ll leave it at that. Enough fab for one day.
Good luck with your dating search OP. Really hope you find what you’re looking for 😘 |

"I use tinder and feeld and have had a good experience on both over the last five years
And do you use them for hook ups or dating?
Please don’t answer if you don’t want to. I’m just curious "
I use Fab, Tinder and Feeld to find partners for sex and to go on dates. I don't do hook ups at all.
Hooks just being a one off.
But I've had two very successful relationships from dating apps (one engagement) and I go on dates regularly when I'm single.
A woman I dated recently told me my tinder profile was very obviously not one looking for hook ups. So I asked my female friends and they agreed. Apparently women can tell! |

You're lucky. I've had everything I've mentioned and it's a popular opinion online amongst guys too. Plenty of candid videos to prove it too.
I've seen videos where the woman has asked the man to pay for her hair, nails and the babysitter for her kid. Then the takeaway to feed said kids haha |

But just keep your eye open. Start with a coffee and then date 2 or 3 is when the restaurant starts "

All that crap on Reddit, Tik Tok etc is just incel vibe rubbish spouted by butthurt men who women run a mile from.
Of course there are bots and scams. That's not news. It's not even controversial. It's the Internet ffs. Smart people just avoid them and get on with the business of dating. |

B likes Feeld. He paid so he can see who's liked him and has found some lovely FWBs. As a man the number of likes is smaller but genuine. He also has the time to travel a bit further afield. And because he's found some lovely connections there are clearly women who do like it.
I liked it to start with because facial attraction is huge for me. Then I paid so I could see who had liked me. And became overwhelmed when my number of likes went over 1000. This sounds like me showing off. It absolutely isn't - it's impossible to know who's genuine, who's just liked every woman, who just wants a hook up. I keep trying again, the last person I really liked and connected with was 100 miles away and their time off and mine are totally incompatible. So that hasn't worked out. |

I enjoy the dating app horror story vids on TikTok, it makes me feel better about my choice to remain off them (cos I’m too🐓these days).
That said, lots of folk have been successful too. |

All I know is that dating apps and dating in general has been an absolute headache for me. Nothing but issues. Wether that's irl or on apps. I'm sure there are plenty of people that have nothing but positive experiences with it all. But I can only speak from my own experience.
I'm happily single for now. Massively stress free haha |

I really struggle on dating apps, most of the time you get a match, you get ghosted or just blanked, probably me haha, I don't really go out enough to actually meet people on person, I would really like some company and someone to chat to in the evenings but I'm fast realising that I'll just be on my Tod forever |

Yeah I get it... Every singleton gets lonely I'm sure. I keep myself busy because I don't need someone to keep your life occupied.
Sharing stuff I get it. I've had that.

Unfortunately I don’t use dating apps to find a relationship, however I’ve had tons and tons of meets from them, I wish we had these apps when I was younger, they are mental how quick you can arrange a meet.
I’d say I have 20x more fun on dating apps than I do on fab, it’s well worth the admin. |

"Oh and I always split the bill. 🙄
Must be a generational thing. I can only speak for under 30s dating
I'm not getting into this again. We went through all this manosphere shite yesterday."
Damn I obviously missed a good read |

I haven't considered dating apps ( Fab worked for me when creating a social life from swinging ) but having read the posts on this thread I don't think I will bother. |

"I'm happily single for now. Massively stress free haha
I'm honestly happy single too, I just think about sharing all the cool shit with someone else.
Plus I'm getting older - need someone to wipe my arse one day and I'm sure as hell not paying a stranger to do it."
Seriously Lib...try dating from here.
I tried Feeld for a couple of months when I became single after 12 years, and whilst it was OK I actually found it much easier to date via here.
Plenty of social meets and the occasional extension to physical fun with some and I'm now lucky enough to have two awesome partners.
Just treat it like you would normal life. Chat to people. Go for coffees and meals. Do normal 'dating stuff with someone and you may be surprised how things develop. Worst case you have some good night's out with people, make some friends, have some sex and it leads to nothing more. Best case? You find yourself a new partner. 🤷♂️ |

"I hate them. You upload a few pictures, a few prompts and then try and swipe to try and engage a response. It's like cold calling, except the the useless thing I'm trying to sell... Is me
Maybe you need to add more photos, JB.
Turns out I take better body photos than selfies 😂
Same, Joe. Same. 🤣 "
Oh stop it, both are as hot as each other! |

I thought we were painting the manosphere rainbow shades and hanging fairy lights?? Was that not what we decided??🤔🤣
Yes, yes, of course . Although still feels a little like sprinkling glitter on a turd. "

"I forgot facebook dating
The biggest waste of time ever. I get notified for people matching me daily yet no messages.
Want to match as friends. Why? It's a dating app FFS.
"
Facebook dating is terrible for no one replying when they match |

O don't know who makes up the male profiles on these dating apps but i rarely see anyone i want to swipe right on so rarely match and then there may be one or 2 messages before it's clear they just want sex. It's exhaustingly bad. I've given up wanting to find anyone for a relationship. I find fab much easier. |

I wouldn't say everyone... Maybe just the guys that get all the swipes. I know there are guys on them that literally just want to date and find someone.
Tinder statistics state that only 5% of guys are being swiped on |

I’ve been on and off dating apps for 5 years, I’ve had many conversations but only been on a handful of dates |

Straight from a google search
On average, men swipe right on about 40% of profiles, compared to 7% for women, according to Tinder Insights. The average match rate is also lower for men (2.5%) than women (33%). |

I mean I can make up statistics too.
"Tinder Insights is an independent data visualization tool for online dating habits associated with the Tinder app.
Tinder Insights is not part of Tinder or Match Group."
Tinder has never published any such stat.
It's just repeated ad nauseam by guys who can't get dates and moan to each other about it on the internet. |

Correlation does not equal causation.
Anyway I can see you will not be swayed so I am going to check out of this bubble and will go back to flirting and having sex with all the myriad of jaw droppingly beautiful women that keep tucking there phone numbers into my boxers waistband.
I do hope that someday someone shows you enough kindness to change your mind. It sounds like you need it. |

"If you are the any holes a goal kind of guy and are happy being the 5th guy she's been with that week then sure they're for you.
If you're looking for a true relationship... I wouldn't even bother
Or the other way round with a man… obviously "
Nah, men would never shag around, would they??? |

"What have I done?"
You posted a thread. Everything that happened after that was out of your hands.
It's a rogue thread. Just try to hold on and it'll be over soon |

Sometimes we're aout own worst enemies and want everything to be simple, easy and on our doorstep.

So we're all off out for a group tinder swipe while we play golf and eat candy floss and there's a big bear prize 😁
And off to the chip shop afterwards.
What's for dessert?

"Have you tried TripAdvisor instead?
Trying to not-so-subtly hint at your 4.6 rating?"
4.6 is very generous. But yes, I've met some wonderful people through TripAdvisor. It's a really good place to get to know what someone likes, and to see pictures of their hotel rooms. You learn so much about a person and it is free and easy to use. |

I knew I'd made a mistake being on tinder and a dating app, when one woman I was talking too. Well not even sure it was a woman, could be a man being a catfish, wanted me to pay him or her via PayPal to continue the conversation. I thought you can fuck right off. |
