I've tried it out, and each of the experiences was bad. On Tinder, a majority of people swiped right on me, but as soon as I said "Hi" they would unmatch me. I was going to meet somebody, but he stopped coming online eventually. It hurt me so badly that I deleted my account. Are dating apps just a waste of time?
Dating sites suck. They're full of liars, lazy people, and mentally unstable people. I had to wade through the waters of crazy people before I found someone great. XD
I once watched a video about dating sites in Germany. They often have hired people to pretend they are looking for love.
No face time, rare calls, only the occasional and vague picture (edited by site mods), lots of texting back and forth, lots of daydreaming to keep the sucker in check and the kicker... premium membership required.
One woman openly admitted that she does this and currently has 6 virtual lovers. She's happily married, has a kid in school, but plays 6 different women. Apparently she's paid good.
I find this to be absolutely disgusting! Far worse than people lying about their height, weight, etc. Cause at least those are real people trying to get a date.
But the poor, saps that throw money into a dating site, mesmerized by pretty words and dreams... living in a fantasy world and never meeting said dream date in person - It's scamming and psychological destruction.
I'm capitalist, all the way, but even I wouldn't dare toy with people in such a way. Profit is great, but you don't profit from crushing someone psychologically - that's sick!
Everyone has told me that the only way to become financially
well off is to crush others in your path. It's nice to see someone who doesn't think that.

My dad always told me that when it comes to business... It's always better to earn 100 bucks from 100 people, than earn 100 bucks from 1 person.
Always do business in a way that leaves your clients sufficiently happy, so they continue using your services. Find the sweet spot between zero and extortion.
No.
Most people aren't looking for serious commitment on there (unless you use an app or website you need to pay to use)for various reasons. Most of them just want sex, others are bored and lonley and just scrolling out of boredom and with those people you might exchange a few sentences after matching and that'll be it. Plus I wouldn't recommend getting seriously involved with someone who spends lots of time on dating apps. They know they can always find someone else if they get bored with you when things are no longer exciting because they've gotten used to that and probably won't stick around in hard times. There's exceptions as always but that doesn't mean you'll match with or even have chemistry with those exceptions. A lot of things has to line up. It's probably best to find someone in real life or if you wanna meet someone online, to not do it via dating apps. Befriend someone and stay in touch. There's less pressure and none of you expects anything special.
Dating apps seem to have a place at one time but issues as lying and too many fake profiles are inevitable with online dating. Dating in general is high risk with low reward now.
NOPE. I've only met 2 people off of dating apps but both we're just really fucky. One guy looked like leo DiCaprio, so really good looking and all and portrayed himself as being smart,sane, had a really nice car and asked me out on the first date (massive red flag now) and he went crazy on me in person the second time we hung out bc I had my ex on fb... meanwhile he had just gotten through telling me about how he dated and slept with his now best friend whom he had on everything... hypocrisy is a hell of a thing lmaoo.
Yes. Its good to get it out if your system so you can look for a partner properly
I've never used a dating site, but one of my best friends says he's gotten lucky 4 times on Tinder.
Dating websites, and phone applications are a great place to meet really crazy people!
I have a lot of experience with dating sites. Eventually I did meet my wife on one. But, I estimate over 10,000 "internet contacts" and meeting at least 100 people in person before I decided to use a site where both the men and the woman had to pay several hundred dollars (or equivalent monthly income in foreign countries) before I met generally decent people; which was where I met my wife.
In general, the free ones are full of people who want something for free and scammers.
I cannot tell you how many people lied to me (example: I am highly allergic to cats. That was clearly stated in my profile, I would then ask them over the phone before we met if they had cats... Now if they did, it can be managed by having them shower and put on freshly laundered clothing. You would not believe how many times I was told no cats - and then started to react to the cat dander on their clothing: To which they would then admit that they had cats and didn't think my allergies could be that bad.
That is not the only issue people would lie to me on (very long list. Lie to me and I drop you like a rock.
Find one that charges both the Ladies and the Men the same amount, and at a minimum of several hundred dollars a year for them to be there (USA cost). You still get some scammers. But the rest are actually looking for something serious - and willing to put up their own $ in order to find someone else who is serious too.
ps: My wife had a cat when I met her, and gave up her cat to marry me.
