      That’s how I found out I might be a little attractive. Lots of stories about apps being ghost towns and it being hard to talk to people. I didn’t struggle much to talk to people, went on dates and found my now fiancee that way.

        You’re one of the lucky few. I bet online apps are great for attractive dudes with lots of great pictures lol.

          I tried Tinder & Bumble for a few months. Out of the 15 or so matches I got, 13 were fake profiles or lived on the other side of the world. 1 I messaged but she never replied. And the last 1 messaged me a total of 3 times before she stopped talking.

          Waste of fucking time. Deleted my profiles and got off there before I began to feel bad about myself.

          Yea I definitely count my lucky stars. I also didn’t use the main dating apps and stuck with smaller more social dating apps. Found my now fiancee on Boo. Which is marketed as a friend’s and dating app. Never bothered with tinder or the other huge ones.

      Even then dating apps are terrible. You have to pay extra just to essentially get the basic service. The free stuff basically doesn’t do anything
