32m here and ive been on dating apps for over 10 years and think they’ve gotten worse since the whole swiping algorithm. I always do max swipes daily on fb dating, tinder, and bumble with minimum to no success. Tinder being the worst of the three. Ik irl is better, I just am not good at it with social anxiety and overthinking. Anybody find what works on these apps if you’re an average looking man?
Been in a relationship for quite a while so this is 2nd hand knowledge, but you wanna avoid any app that’s been around for more than 2-3 years.
At the beginning the apps need to get a reputation for successfully hooking people up and they’re usually not urgently searching for money thanks to venture capitalism. After that point though they need to grow and profit.
You know what’s bad for user growth in a dating app? Successfully matching people into a long term relationship; those users may never return.
The end result is what I hear tinder is these days: a siphon into the bank accounts of single people that will do everything it can to avoid making them not single.
what apps have been around for less than 2-3 years?
Absolutely no idea what the current set is called, I’m afraid. I’ve been in my current relationship for over a decade
One of my mates was telling me the other week he is getting a lot of luck with one where you match and then immediately set up an IRL date without directly talking. I don’t remember the name though, sorry
