[@NugeSmashFE]

Grindr is eternally hookup-focused but there are people who try to say "friends only" or "looking for a bf." They're definitely the minority but they do exist. The thing that keeps it unique can also be the biggest issue. Anyone can message anyone at any time. There's no match system. And sending unsolicited "things" is allowed and sometimes feels encouraged by the app. Upside is unlimited blocks. Also they've expanded on accepted gender identities the past few years. Gay/bi cis men are still their main target audience but there are a lot of trans people and the occasional cis women recently. A lot of degenerate behavior and a surprising number of actual predators but overall very accepting of the entire LGBT community and still the most popular app of its kind.

[@itisALWAYSR.A.]

I think it's worth noting though that it is now straight-owned and has been for a while, so it's absolutely homogenised it's approach, just clientele is (mostly) of the same gender

Ghosting used to be considered a negative thing. Over time it’s become more acceptable to the point that it’s the norm. And when you complain about it now people will say “but they don’t owe you anything” Ok, sure. Technically you are correct. But it doesn’t mean you should throw courtesy out the window

[@BrianWaller-qe7gr]

Ghosting someone after 1-2 dates is understandable. But not if you’ve been dating a few months or you met someone at a social event and they showed initial interest and you pursue them they ghost right away. Unacceptable

One time I had a girl say "stop, I'm blocking yo ass" after we texted back and forth for some days and I told her Happy Easter one morning.

Asking for a friend, do you have to date someone in order to get to know them? Or do you start to date someone you know? Because its become a sudden realization that people dont use the friend zone as a first step to dating. Everyone can date differently, but to me, if you cant be my friend first, I certainly wont date you.

[@SixPickles6644]

I actually had a situation like this earlier this year where I asked a girl if she wanted to start dating. I’m now realizing that we had only really known each other for 3 months. Prolly shouldn’t have gotten ahead of myself

[@akospapanitz8390]

You can start with dating and you can also ask out someone who's been a friend and you (or your friend) got to like them. There's no rule. But the latter one might be riskier since it may ruin the friendship, but also imo the possibility of success is higher since there's already trust between friends. One of my friends recently made a move on me but I wasn't interested but we're still good and will be so I'd say if you (or your friend) like someone you should tell them and see where it goes. Just don't be overwhelming.

[@couch_philosoph3325]

It really depends on you and the circumstances. I found that with dating apps, I was more anxious or didn't want to see them again, because the common ground was lacking. When you meet someone irl, you will see them interact with others and they are in some way part of your life (friends, school, work, etc.). The only successful relationship over all those years of online dating I have found in real life. We were friends first, so I knew he was a decent person

[@danf7411]

I don't go to Europe ever or ever will but I heard people say that's more normalized over their. In the states you can end up dating a friend in your group but it's almost frowned upon... for some reason society instilled in woman a strange man is a better bet than someone you've known... or else you a pick me loser.

I mean, it took me nearly 8 years to figure out the 2 main rules for using these apps: rule 1. Be attractive rule 2. Don't be unattractive Honestly... Kinda glad. Online dating just seems cancerous and a good way to destroy any ounce of self-esteem you may have.

[@charlesplante]

Those rules only apply to men

[@ShoulderMonster]

You'd have better luck meeting folks in more niche communities either online or in real life. Also, matching easily with people isn't necessarily a good thing either. My best friend has matched with many guys, yet none of those relationships lasted past a few months at most. And most of those guys turned out to be abusive or neglectful. So far the best relationship she's found is a guy she happened across on one of her many trips to the Renassaince Faire. They're still going strong.

Bumble is actually the worst dating app of them all if you have self-esteem issues. What women on there will do is they will swipe until they get a match, and only then decide if they're actually interested. Then they check your profile, say something like "eww no" and unmatch. Or they just never message. So the app goes, "hey, you got a match!" and you start to think "well shit, maybe I won't die alone after all" and you get your hopes up, then click into the app to see that the match is gone already. Or you go in and have no choice but to sit and wait just to see the match time out or disappear sometime later. That hurts easily 10x more than not getting any matches at all. And even if you do get a match, you know what the first message is 90% of the time? "hey." So you're stuck doing all the fucking work to carry the conversation anyway.

[@IronicHavoc]

That can happen on any app though. Try not to read into it, just because someone changed their mind doesn't mean they went "ew no".

[@IronicHavoc]

Also "hey" is better than nothing. The issue he described isn't "carrying the conversation" it's getting ghosted or not knowing when to initiate. Like what do you want, someone to text you a paragraph screed off rip? IDK man I feel like if you're in this place mentally no dating app is gonna be right for you. Which I guess was your point about the whole self esteem thing? But even given that, you do come across particularly bitter here. I wish you luck

[@itisALWAYSR.A.]

Sounds like the online scene isn't for you bud, that's how it be.

[@technus6187]

These apps are designed to wear you down psychologically. If recognizing that means I'm bitter, so be it. Bumble is just particularly annoying because it pretends to offer a different experience when really it's just as mentally abusive as the rest of them, just in a slightly different way.

[@NebulousCreature]

I didn’t realize that that was a thing people do. Maybe it’s part of the culture of that app I guess. I’ve tried using a different one and I spend way more time looking at each profile before I decide if I’m gonna swipe. Surely I can’t be the only one

[@amandacrawford7340]

​@@MysticMorigan1998girl I'm so sorry that bullying has damaged your self esteem. I was also bullied relentlessly about my size and how sensitive I was growing up (turns out that the sensitivity comes from undiagnosed ADHD and I'm only 5'0) I had to teach myself how to stand my ground but I'm still dealing with the effects of bullying even to this day. don't be so hard on yourself, you are you and nobody can take that away! Your pain is valid but it doesn't control you or define you 💕 *hug*

I havent been in the app dating scene for a while (like 7 years now). What made me stop were either coz they catfish or just only wanna fcuk. Its like bruh, how hard it is to DATE someone that is on a DATING app. Theyre not even dating apps at this point, theyre just NSA apps but even at that point 0.0000001% of its users probably get some ass.

Asked this really cute girl out at sweetgreen. Kind of looked like sarah silverman. She had the warmest smile I've seen in a long time. I gave her my number on a piece of paper. I literally thought not to do it. I told myself, what's the point, I've got nothing to give, and i'm a loser. Then I realized that she is probably just as nervous as I am. She has acne bad. But it's like a small imperfection that makes her beautiful. I work for door dash, so I was like, fuck it and gave her my number while she was working with customers. She was super friendly about it and waved goodbye to me while I left. Later I asked her how she felt about it about 3 days later. She gave me a nervous look and was like, "i'll reach out." And then my soul was crushed. Lol. But hey, it felt amazing just to do that. To have the freedom to just walk up to people after years of apps ripping my heart out. Maybe she was shy, or wasn't interested. I will praise her for her kindness though. Truly blown away. She had great manners.There are angles out there.

[@frankieinjapan]

You should've mentioned the cost. Dating apps are so fucking expensive. My sister in law just spent like 80$ for 3 months of premium just to be able to see the large amount of creepy weirdos that live like 1000km away due to location spoofing that's hidden behind that paywall. It's ridiculous 🤣

8:45 That’s not, the data is skewed because people download the app, make an account, and then find a relationship, delete the app but the account is still there

[@Skarlett.Rose.Ink.]

Incorrect. The data in the study that he is referencing is based on direct polling of people who actively use the app, not just those with an existing account. Go pay the $60 to access the study itself before you comment on the merits of its data. It's actually an extremely interesting insight into the minds of those who use dating apps, especially viewing it as a 10 year happily married woman who has never used a dating app in my life, but who has spent an inordinate number of hours listening to friends complain about them.
