Anyone here had success with dating apps ?

Very easy to get laid on those apps

For an actual relationship though? Lmao why?!
 
Define success.

Dating material? Best results were on Hinged. Better ice breakers too since you have to match by commenting on one of their photos or prompts. Had the best results finding potential relationships there.

Tinder was only hookups. Bumble is a weird middle ground between the two that I only briefly used.
 
Messed around initially on Tinder here in PH after first moving in late 2017, see what it’s about.
Matched well enough & had a couple of dates, but not all that interested on my part.

Better matches IRL , meeting women in my locale & places I I frequent (gym & condo neighborhood shops in city) & alotta cousins/colleagues playing matchmaker.

That said context & my situation is better IRL for now, but if I move to a new place or back to US prolly dating sites would be key too.

Most people women & men tend to aim for people 20% more attractive than they are according to some research study.

Is normal for dudes, but I do think women have more power on dating websites since they choose (role of mother nature) in sexual selection of mate & men compete.

I think in person after a few meetings & gal gets more intrigued/familiar with guy & he’s fairly cool, persona/presence becomes more a factor in that attraction/dance.

Also, You’ll have better luck if you expand your range to city & not rural areas.

Hookups, FWB, short-term relationships? Sure.

Serious, committed relationship? No.

I talk down on those things in every post because I think they're just validation devices that are getting chicks drunk with narcissism. With that said, just today, my cousin was showing me all of the chicks he meets on Hinge. The dude travels from state to state and gets ass while he is there, and these are pretty decent looking chicks. He's a good looking guy himself.

My point is, for those who do well, they do REALLY well (which aren't most guys) and for those who do poorly, they do really poorly (like the guy in the other post who made the angry rant).

Just to name a few , tinder , bumble , fruitz. I tested. Bunch of them in the last 2 years, had some social activities with girls here and there but nothing more. I have an original profile with picture of me and the hiking , country road trip pictures I took. Pretty well balanced profile but it doesent seems to work out , all the girls I went to do some activities never tried to meet again our to know me more ( I didn’t wait o texted pretty much all of them back but never worked ) do you guys tested a bit of those apps ? What were your experiences ? I might think to go full sith lord next time.

You're either doing one of these or both. You're going hiking or on activity type dates that don't lead to any type of intimate connections or you're just not saying the right thing to get them to like you. First dates should be drinks/dinner and that's it, otherwise you're rolling the dice.

Do: Ask them questions and show interest in what they're saying. Tell short, but funny stories about your life. Be humble about everything. Make her laugh and remember the things that she tells you so you can use those subjects to poke fun at her later in the conversation. Only compliment her if she brings up something about herself but make your compliment funny. Make her ask you more detailed questions if she asks things like "Tell me your story?".

Don't: Blab on about yourself for minutes on end. Brag about money or achievements. Compliment her looks unprovoked. Talk about ex's or your boss you don't get along with, etc. Complain about your life or your problems. Leave awkward pauses in conversation. Make sexual innuendos.

Honestly all you have to do is make them laugh. I mean who has a bad time if they're laughing all night?
 
Casual sex,yes.

Relationship material,no.
 
Met my lady on bumble.. had a lot of potentials from bumble.. avoid tinder IMO
 
I used yahoo comic chat to meet girls in the '90's. Banged a model I met playing WoW.

Met my wife on Facebook marketplace.

Never tried an actual dating app.
 
Yea, work like a charm for me. I actually have too many woman texting me and I'm quite picky. Met my longterm lover on OK Cupid over a year ago and we see each other at least once a month for couple days to week despite her living in Warsaw and me in Berlin.
Without apps, we wouldve never met and shes fucking awesome.

I tried to find that article & couldn’t find it; but found something similar.
Haha
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ng-study-quantifies-whats-out-of-your-league/

A study out Wednesday in the journal Science Advances described “a hierarchy of desirability” in the messaging tactics of online daters. It also found that both men and women messaged potential partners who were on average 25 percent more attractive than they were.

A few other findings from the study: “Older women are less desirable, while older men are more so,” the authors found.

“Postgraduate education is associated with decreased desirability among women.”

Women’s desirability peaked at the youngest age possible to join the dating app — 18 — and declined until age 60.

Men's desirability increased until 50.

It is important to note, particularly for everyone who’s not an 18-year-old woman or a middle-aged white man, that the study results were based on averages, and there is a wide range in what people are looking for in a date.

Thread worthy digression stuff yo.

I do really poorly on dating apps but women tend to like me when they meet me in person, which is almost never from dating apps. I concluded that you have to be very goodlooking with good pictures and text game. I have none of those things although women say I'm goodlooking when they meet me. But the few times I did match I also didn't care enough to follow through.
 
Yea, had tons of dates and matches back in the day. Met my gf off tinder 4 years ago.
 
I use to, not so much anymore. They're way more saturated than what they use to be, tinder is basically a waste of time now unless you're an uber chad. Most success I recently had was on hinge, would get a fair few matches ultimately, I can't be bothered with internet dating anymore it's exhausting and ultimately, need self improvement before getting back into the dating pool.
 
Yes, but then i deleted it. You'll die of AIDS if you stay too long on those terrible applications.
 
I only get some matches when I'm abroad. I do nothing with them, it's only good for boosting my ego.
 
Mostly crap and very toxic.

Hook-ups - Tinder - stay away if your more seriously inclined
Bumble - Favorite (Women make the 1st move) - I hate throwing darts.
Elite - Meh gold diggers but ok - terrible screening
E-Harmony - No Idea
Match - Ok so far.

But I'm an obvious freak and don't hide behind social shields.

Um since Feb - 7 dates... 1 repeat. Now bout to hit another 1st.

Despite some of the elements. I enjoy new people and chatting and a good meal.
