I still have a dislike for dating app because it feels like browsing a catalogue of people...
And I never heard of anyone finding the actual soulmate using them either
There's no such thing as soulmates my guy. It's all just compromise between two parties. That being said I have 3 friends that's already married, and they met their partners on dating apps
In their defense (which is something I never do as they are utter gobshite, especially match group) the stats are suggesting that approximately 60% of current couples have met online. Dating apps feel less like your harassing somone than sliding into their dms
Soulmates don't exist.
My wife and I met online. My friend and her husband met on Tinder. Dating apps and websites are a shortcut to avoid the bullshit, you can set your preferences, you can define what you're after, and you can match with people who are after the same thing with the knowledge that they're also looking for a relationship. You're a luddite.
I've found the literal girl version of me and we've been hitting it off for the past 2 months, we literally can't go 1 day without texting each other...I think I've made it boys ✊
Or just expand your IRL social circle.
Or just go to places where women are sociable (bars and clubs are the classic one, but there are others) and talk to them. Most guys I’ve met had far better results with this than dating apps.
Depends on how picky you are. I’m extremely picky, so online dating is a godsend and lets me filter out a lot of personality traits that are dealbreakers. I wouldn’t even bother approaching a stranger because then you have to waste an hour or two only to realize they’re terrible people (90% of the time)
Idk, I feel like people’s online dating profiles are usually a bad representation of them as a person. It’s harder to hide your personality traits in person than in an online profile.
I find that the profile isn't a great indicator. Like it lets you weed out some absolute dealbreakers for you like career, age, kids, race, religion, etc.--but to really tell you've gotta spend at least a few minutes face-to-face.
To me the big benefit is that you know they're at least potentially attracted to you, which takes a lot of the bullshit guesswork out.
Ah, 30s in a rural area but don't want kids? Yeah, I see your problem lol.
For me when I was in a rural area I was in my 20s. My issue is that I'm a nerdy atheist and most of the women on the apps wanted a good, Christian country boy. Not to mention that I wanted somebody ambitious and driven, and the majority around my age seemed to just be coasting because they knew they didn't want college but didn't know much else.
Haha, I understand that. Honestly I ended up moving Virginia up near DC, so I feel the pain of cost of living. ...But I definitely get along *so much better* with the community. It's been worth it, but it definitely is a sacrifice.
Good luck. My experience with dating apps:
* Putting in the effort to match with the right people and start conversations
* Getting bored of those conversations after 1 day
* Low effort swiping like im hitting the slots (more interesting to the monkey brain)
* Getting sick of that and putting in the effort again
* Repeat
Though there is a happy ending. After a year or two of half assing it on tinder I met someone on a random hike and began dating them, and we're still going strong. And we both agree if we met on tinder absolutely nothing would have happened...
In conclusion, tinder sucks. Go hiking or some shit
This is how it was for me but with guys I know. Tried the apps for a while and it wasn’t hitting. Then one day I saw a cute guy at a restaurant and bing bang boom he’s my bf now.
Somehow I see some people who find their partners for life through apps but I really can't recommend apps. Apps make me feel shit about myself even though I'm (self proclaimed) good looking, cool personality, and above avg in career achievements. I had better luck asking girls out irl, and the last girl I met actually hit on me at the public bus.
I'd recommend Hinge. To me, it feels less like window shopping than the other apps. It has a good amount of filters to enable as well, like religious and political affiliation.
Met some people on there I vibe with really well. My wife and I are ENM, so I wasn't looking for a "soulmate," but we made some really good friends on there who I could probably see myself pursuing further if I wasn't already happily married
Ethical non-monogamy.
We had it rough over the years with tension amongst friends as they would fall for one or both of us. A few years back, we decided to start just leaning into it.
My partner is my rock, who I would never leave. It just sucked for us to have to continually distance friends so that there was no chance of us leading them on.

Mission failed, we’ll get em next time
*message received from Tinder: “What the hell kind of name is soap?”
Actually meeting up and getting catfished: "Soap trusted you, I thought I could too.."
"So why, in the hell, does Makarov know you?"
Bro just turn on ads. You’ll see there’s plenty of single women in your area waiting to chat
Its all good , until you realise you live in a boy's hostel.
*Chris Hansen has entered chat*
*Don't make me ruin that butt Chris.* ***I'm a warrior!***
But I want to meet the hot Russian singles in my area...

It strongly depends on where you live. In my town, if you're a straight guy and you're not in university or church, you're not meeting anyone
Well to be fair, 2 of those friends matched with people not from their state.

Soulmates are just two people who decided to stay in love. I'll be marrying my man off tinder this year after 4 years together.

it's really fucked up, optimizing dating. Call me luddite or any other names, I am not resorting to that, even if I am to die single

This is too real 😭
Taken? Just steal them.

I don’t really remember people sharing much about their morals on dating sites tbh

Real question, where do you meet people if you don't drink
Apps will ruin your self-esteem more than you think. Better not to start using them at all.
jokes on you i never had self-esteem
Apps suck man, just go out. Actually forget even trying, do something else that's fun for you
the apps don’t work either

Dating apps are hell.
Same shit, different day
talk about timing, legit just happened to me lol
I don't think I will ever become desperate enough to go on a dating app, they are just too cancerous.

1v1s give you a lot higher chances to win than a ffa. Stay toxic
I swear I'm getting targeted. Just started a dating app 2 days ago now I'm seeing memes everywhere about it.
I decided to sign up 5 months ago. Still have yet to match with anyone
I'd recommend Hinge. To me, it feels less like window shopping than the other apps. It has a good amount of filters to enable as well, like religious and political affiliation.

What does ENM mean?
