[@ReginaMcNeish]

This was true up until the apps. Reputation was everything back then. It wasn’t “cool” to be a player; now F-boy/F-girl; it’s been renamed to be casual but the actions have no honor and there are way too many men and women hating the opposite sex. If rep becomes popular again people will act accordingly. Now everyone is lazy. The #1 reason I hear people say they do OLD is because “It’s easy”. Which is THE WORST thing to do when finding a lifetime partner. Even more so bad that someone will comment and say “ not everyone is looking for marriage or life time partner” completely forgetting that DATING and (a forgotten word) COURTING was for the purpose of MARRIAGE. People have lost value in PEOPLE and CHILDREN (No your pet is NOT your child). It’s all fun and games now and EVERYONE SUFFERS. It’s a lose lose situation. OLD should be banned you can not Amazon love. GO OUT, make friends, bring back house parties make them popular again and find your person.

[@alexviolett]

I think your explanation is on point! There was no way getting away with outrageous behaviour because your social circle was your "checks and balances", and people seemed to have basic decency and a little bit of shame. Nowadays I feel like it's impossible to make someone accountable for their bad behaviour....

[@casebased8391]

Yeah but also gets complicated if you ever break up and start dating another person in that same social circle lol.

[@WaffleHouseYellow]

I quit dating apps because I found way more cons than pros. I found it emotionally draining, non stimulating, and counter productive. The point was to connect with people, but I felt no connections. It felt like a game. The quality of people I met was poor. No one had their priorities in order. Or people were just getting out of a relationship like 2 days ago. Or people still living with their wives. Just a mess.

[@davesmith826]

I quit Hinge last weekend. My profile: 38 years old, 5'11, in excellent shape, good looking, and good career (PhD, tenured faculty at an elite university). I had no trouble matching with women, but I never found someone of comparable quality. Several doctors and lawyers matched with me, but I never met one of them in person because they all either failed to respond to my initial greeting or just unmatched me summarily for no reason. The sense of entitlement among this group was staggering. Then there are single mothers who want a 'life partner' to help them raise their kids. They don't pitch it that way, but it's the way it would pan out. Thanks but no thanks. Then there are career-orientated women who realise in their mid-to-late 30s that they want a family and are desperate (in many senses of the word) to get pregnant. The last group are women who just want to get laid and/or be showered with attention. I can understand the first impulse, but the second one is to my eyes bizarre. I never matched with anyone on the app. Chasing women is a boys' game and I would wait for women to match with me. You would think that if you took the time to match with someone and they responded in good time (i.e. not immediately but a day or two after), that you'd write back to them. But about 80% of the women I matched with never wrote back to me. 80%! For a time I was convinced these chicks were bots, but my female friends are adamant they're not. They claim they're women who use dating apps to get 'liked' by eligible bachelors simply to make them feel better. That's utterly bonkers, but par for the course in this deranged era of social media.

There are three logical fallacies in your argument: 1. The Anecdotal Fallacy: Which is when one draws sweeping conclusions on a broad subject matter using their own personal experiences. Like if I’ve had some bad encounters with therapists, then therapists are bad. “I’ve met a few therapists out there (not as a client), who are all crazy…” implying that all therapists must be crazy because of your anecdotal experiences. 2. The Fallacy Of Composition: which is when you think what's true for the parts is true for the whole. Like if some therapists are bad, then all therapists must be bad. 3. Lost Cause Fallacy: Which occurs when a person incorrectly assumes something causes something without enough proof. “They [The Therapists] get into their profession to learn about themselves (A false assumption/false premise fallacy) that’s how they all become crazy.”

Every week Hinge selects 5 people that they think are the best match for you. You cannot just swipe /like them, you have to send a rose.

I suppose to modify Preach’s club analogy, it’s like paying a cover charge to get into a club because the club advertises all of these attractive, awesome people. You get inside and see a bunch of weirdos, and ask an employee, “Where are all of the people you advertised would be here?” They point you to the VIP section. You shell out additional money to get into that section and start clocking a bunch of potentials. When you go to approach one of them, an employee stops you and tells you that you have to pay additional money in order to talk to someone-in fact, it costs additional for each person you want to approach. Instead of everyone being in the same space paying the same cover charge and you can approach, accept, or reject anyone.

Tinder always has and always will be a hookup app. Even if setting up for high value matches, the app will always devolve to hookups.

Correct. Tinder launched as the hetero version of Grindr that was already making waves in that community. Eventually it expanded to all forms of relationship but never shook off it's original 'mission' forcing spin offs by former employees like Bumble. Now Tinder is focussing on the sugar daddy (plausibly deniable escorting) with their new very expensive membership option because they see that sugar dating websites are making waves (when young girls on school playgrounds start bragging about how they want a sugar daddy when they're old enough you know that it's become normalized and a cultural phenomenon.. like OF.).

Online dating only works when you as an individual have learnt to sift through overly entitled people and those you are not interested in. When looking at womens and mens dating profiles there are very clear signifiers in a lot of cases as to what type of people they are - not 100% accurate but you eventually learn to avoid certain types of people based on how they structure their profiles and end up dating a much better range of people who are genuinely wanting to find a partner. If you're swiping right to all for example as a man you get a mixed bag and its a fundamental waste of time if properly intending to date, as a woman if youre only swiping on people who are in the higher ranges of attractiveness most of those people aren't interested in a relationship with you unless you are genuinely within the same looks range from their sexes perspective (your own ratings for yourself man or woman arent accurate as its the intended sex who make the rating based on their own process). Have fun dating, just make sure you know what you're after before diving in as to not waste yours and others time.

The “are we dating the same guy” group for my city really is a good one. Nobody’s on there just clownin dudes for small things. People who post do it for GOOD reasons you know. I’m not dating right now but man I have seen it GO DOWN on that page. Married men are common

[@leunamreyo3663]

is crazy because it also supports the theory that 80% of women go for the top 20% of men. women choose the same dudes and the same dudes are causing the issues

[@Beandonuts]

I met my husband on POF. Now I know this was like 10 years ago now but I found most people I talked to who had a hard time on dating apps were going about it all wrong. They either had weird standards or didn't stick to good standards to weed out the losers. Maybe I just got lucky but I generally had a fine time.

[@Drageisha]

You got extremely lucky. Marrying someone from an app is 💯 the exception.

[@shaani7978]

I agree… I also met my husband on an online dating site, OkCupid. We dated for 6 years, and we just got married. I also believe that many people that have difficulties on these apps approach them wrong to begin with.

[@whatisthis1262]

​@Drageisha I know lots of married couples who met on pof. Two who met on tinder. I'm 33 and it's the minority of couples in my peer group who met in real life.

[@EmptyAltruism]

This woman’s mannerisms scream “crazy af” to me. Like, what are you doing posting this? It’s pretty obvious he talked to her for 5 minutes, saw more red flags than a Chinese parade and left without paying his bill because: 1) that would tip her off he was leaving, duh, and that might lead to unwanted drama from the obviously crazy person 2)you got a ride from a stranger to a bar…is six bucks a crazy ask? Uber would have cost more, js. Besides, if he said “I’m out” she prolly would have thrown a fit if he didn’t pay for her drink too and also drive her home. Get a taxi lady and pay for your own drink. No one owes you drinks or rides for the “privilege” of talking to you for 5 minutes

[@staceyvitale]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu…I thought the same exact thing “why are you posting this”. I’m going to post my humiliation, who does that?

[@mogamatsedickpetersen8620]

Online dating has resulted in people focusing more on presentation that personality. They will upload all these great looking photos of them travelling, carrying out their hobbies and the mandatory thirst trap or 5, but when you talk to them, no substance comes across. Obviously it's better to get a 'feel' for them in-person, but when you try and meet them to get to know them, they assume you're a freak. Whether it's to date or hookup, the best thing to do is vet people and that's better irl. Because a lot of people spend all their time meeting other people virtually, their social skills are non-existant and nobody's out here trying to connect with a husk.

[@jamiereekie9342]

After the "chick orders 48 oysters and got left with the Bill" incident, i think its 100% acceptable to ditch a date... for the right reason, they're being rude or insulting then get up and walk away. If women have the right to it or have it be acceptable when they do then its equal. They stated this shit and changed the rules, now its coming to bite them in the ass.

Imagine unironically stranding someone in a restaraunt without a ride and making them pay your bill and thinking that's anywhere near acceptable behavior. No, that's pure fucking evil. Unless they pulled out a knife and threatened to kill you on the way home you at least pay your tab and offer to drive them home first. Jesus christ what is actual the fuck wrong with you.

[@jirarara669]

[@09irishpride]

Ditching a date has never been acceptable for women. You just want a reason to be a bihh, just don’t go on dates.

[@Alassandros]

You guys say being on the app or paying money is desperate, but what is a person supposed to do when they're serious about finding a serious relationship? I put effort into my profile, I invest to get the best matches, and I put the time in to search and vet my potential matches. I do all this so I can find a partner who will be good for me, well-matched, and want the same things for our relationship and life together. Why is wanting a serious relationship considered "desperate"?

[@chunlisong8521]

Met my wife there. In the end of the day, if your intention is good you will meet that kind of person. Don't be blind or scared to ask no bs questions. If she understands what you are asking and not getting offended thier a chance it might be her. As always have a good intention and the world answer backs

[@austinpowell2710]

Grab coffee and talk at the coffee spot or go on a walk. Too many people go to a restaurant or bar which is not a good first date. 2nd date, sure! Now you have some rapport. My rule 1st date, casual, something we can do and chat. 2nd date, fun date, mini golf, maybe some alcohol. Third date, dinner(restaurant, offer to cook). Dinner for first date is so intimidating and leaves plenty of space for dead air. Going to a bar in a first date tells me you’re insecure without a vice.

[@Dr.Beetlejuice110]

When aba was talking about people need to go out more: thats a gamble too. You are playing with your luck that whatever you choose that you are interested in will produce single people of the gender that you want to be with. If you stick with things you like and it produces low to nothing results then online dating is where you gotta go because your interests are so niche it doesnt produce the people you want. Not to mention theres no guarantee that the single people you are around find you attractive at all. They could find you good enough to be friends with but never good enough to actually be with. I run into that a lot personally and then when you bring it up, they say some BS like...."i never thought of you like that, or that never came up in my mind." Both online dating and in person meeting people is a shit show because people dont want to be honest with themselves.

[@JadedeaJade]

I surround myself with gamers, and nerds. Their preferred woman doesn't look like me, but a thot, baddie, hot tub streamers, OF model, the one with tons of makeup, fake hair, nails, and lashes. They claim they don't like them, but they still would choose her because they think that's the ideal, that's what everyone wants. Maybe for the status, maybe just for the beauty, but either way, they find me ugly, frumpy, or disinteresting. So I agree with you, a lot of people are delusional.

[@Dr.Beetlejuice110]

@@JadedeaJade if this is how you really look, you are pretty and hopefully you find a community of guys that will see that and one of them or whatever style of relationship you want they will partake. It's tough out there for all and people are in crazy delusions. I can admit it. I don't want no only fans girl but I also can admit that I have watched way too much mainstream media to know that I probably will forever struggle with what is beautiful or not. I am not gonna stopwatching it. It's become my identity at 35 years old. So I communicate and articulate that this is part of who I am. My measure of beauty was socialized on every level. From movies and tv shows to friend groups and society. I am a heavy set dude that is athletic who has always struggled with his weight surrounded by guys the same size and body shape as Klaus Mikaelson and Damon Salvator and Ryan Reynolds etc. I was and am the turtle from entourage in friend groups. Just minus the car skills and ability to figure out where I am. I have a horrible sense of direction. But at least I know it. 90 percent of my dating struggles is on me. I have a contrarian existence that requires someone to be stable within themselves that is sure that they want to be with me. I can't have anyone that's insecure, looking for truth, or questioning anything. Literally my job as a behavioral scientist is to question and test. I need some stability in my life that I don't have to question. That's why I am who I am and I'm not interested in changing that. I value stability and security. I know that's not popular today. The culture is questioning and wondering whether or not they should leave America etc. All of that gives me major anxiety. But I know this about myself and I can communicate it on a date or anywhere. I know myself. Plenty of people don't know themselves like that.

[@JadedeaJade]

[@xXBlacky77Xx]

Yeah thats fair. Its also absolutely fair to only pay what you ordered. Aside from a single time (where I accidentally forgot) I always had enough money to pay for both meals on hand, because I felt it was a bit rude to just expect someone else to pay for you. I can say that offering to pay/ switching who is paying in the end with someone you're dating has generally been appreciated (but then my dating pool has not been gigantic and I never went on any app dates).

[@Double5tandards]

Insta filters Vs Reality 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I have an old work colleague from a liaise agency that is on a date every other day via dating sites, she has her insta pics on there, everything, and she looks nothing like her pics because of the filters. She's probably been stood up a good 75% of her dates, and it's completely understandable. Given she's a close friend of ours we've had discussions about it, she acknowledges the issue, but she admits if she puts originals on she knows she won't get the dates that she currently gets - she's a manager too, for a whole mental health division 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@1whitedan]

thats the thing...women on the apps have a lot of ways to filter and weed out actually trashy people, theirs (and their own) profiles, how they get approached, how the other side acts etc, THEN they choose the bad experience and instead of changing their "filter" to not weed out the good guys they will just complain and go to the next date with someone that will eventually be the reason they complain again.

[@kayjeffs3741]

Yeah see...she needs to take the filters off. I did some online dating some years ago and never used a filter in my life. Surprisingly, every guy I met in person after meeting them online said I look better in person. She may be surprised at how guys will think she actually looks

Preach: Ty SO much for not focusing on men vs women when you were talking about the foul behavior of abandoning someone mid-date (first story). Doesn’t matter who does it, those who do that are just doing foul behavior. Most folks commenting on these videos dogpile on women doing it as if it’s ’typical female behavior’.

[@badrequest5596]

I was just talking about this with a friend yesterday. He's been on tinder recently and he only gets few matches. And he is not ugly or average by any means. This guy is handsome, 6 foot master race. Im 5'6. I got a debuff 😂 and he says even i have more luck than he does. But i dont use tinder, i prefer hinge. Even though it's still a version of tinder on steroids, at least i can message first and maybe get some interest and that fits me better than mindless swipping. I think it comes down to personal preference and what works for you.
