I wouldn't use Tinder, but I paid for whatever premium shit was on OKC and had good luck with it. I had like 4 I guess what you could call short term relationships in a year from that. I didn't like anything I saw on PoF, and Bumble is just antithetical to the way relationships should work. There's probably more apps these days, I have been told Hinge isn't bad, but I think that came out after I met my GF.
Just like anything else, you get out what you put in. Not gonna get anything decent for free, so might as well use all the advantages you can get, but you also gotta be fishing in the right pond. Tinder is just for hookups, so if that's what you want, keep rolling. If you wanna do something a bit more serious, then you gotta sift thru some single mother bullshit to get there, but it's not hopeless.
That being said, my current relationship was an organic thing, so I can't exactly say dating sites are better, since I ended up with the one I didn't meet on there. I did meet a few genuinely cool gals though, just didn't work out.

Actually, they're probably very young, fit and trim. Being that they're all robots they're probably not more than a few months old and running on the latest compact hardware. Dating apps have been pulling that shit since the dawn of the internet. I can't remember the first successful dating app, but the guy who did that admitted to making fake profiles to keep people interested from the startup.

Theres really not much you can do, if you arent a 10/10 in looks you basically have to be a tap dancing monkey riding a motorcycle on dating apps because the next guy is going to be shooting every corny joke and meme he has all while telling her how insanely beautiful she is.
IMO the best course of action is to ask the woman out on a date asap. If she says no to meeting up to drinks after an hour or two of conversation she wasnt gonna say yes 2 or 3 days from now after shes talked to dozens of more dudes.

i'm too old fashioned to even know how to use or trust a dating app. i just go out and meet people. working on your people skills is free and you can meet some interesting people along the way. at least thats how it used to be. the woman i'm with now found me on Facebook. she is the cousin of one of my exes and doesnt want me to tell her cousin that we are together because she doesnt want a family argument. its going to be awkward tomorrow because both of them will be at a wake i am attending. i asked her if i should even acknowledge that i know her. she said it was ok. it doesnt feel ok to me cuz i have visions of a Jerry Springer brawl on top of a coffin in my head.

Ideally the best, massive boost to how confident you look when going straight to the point irl. But we also live in an age where a lot of women think just smiling at them makes you a rapist.
Why social media is cancer imo to dating/relationships. Every two bit coomer, crazy and would be cucker has instant access to your partner. 20-30 years ago dude calling your woman at 12am would be a major what the fuck. Now "sliding into DMs" is the norm.

I agree with Big Phoenix. After a day of messaging you should know if there's anything worth pursuing. You can use the excuse of your app crashing or being hard to access. As long as you make it a casual date, it won't be 'moving too quick'. Tell her you communicate better face to face and grab coffee or lunch or something. If she says no to that, either she just isn't into you (in which case, stop wasting time) or she's just matched with someone else and she'll hit you up if that falls through. Personally, when I matched and hit it off with multiple chicks at once, I went ahead and dated them all. But good girls don't like to do that.
As for the second part of that paragraph, it's probably got nothing to do with their advice. When you first joined you had a larger pool. The software runs your profile against all members every time, but as the days and weeks go on, in reality the pool gets smaller because it's not going to match you with the same person twice. I bet in the first month you got a lot of girls who had been members for a while and now you're getting more new members.

I agree. Starting a relationship with lying about extremely stable apps crashing or not being able to access the phone in your pocket is the way to go.
