from another forum --- I(33f) decided to help my brother(31m) with OLD apps. He has been struggling with dating and OLD apps for 3 years now and parents are concerned about his mental health. So I invited him to stay with me for a couple of weeks and told him that I would help him "fix" his dating app profiles as I was certain that he was doing something wrong. He halfheartedly agreed and brought a second phone that I could use. He is 6'0'', 165 lbs and has moderately good looks. He has a stable job which makes him good money. I set up his account on Tinder and Bumble, and completed his profile, description etc on his second phone. I also swiped and initially chatted with the women who matched with the profile. My aim was to show him how to talk to women to keep them interested in him because his main complaint was that they never respond. I thought of sending the first few messages and then letting him continue the conversation. It has been 2 weeks now, my experience has been utter garbage. Nobody wants to have a conversation. I don't quite understand why. Maybe I am doing something wrong? I feel depressed, probably because all these years, I kept telling him that he was doing something wrong. I always thought that only rude, broke, obese, unhygienic and bad looking men sucked at dating apps and others had a fair chance. Well, I was in for a rude awakening. This is what I experienced.
I am going to ask him to stop using OLD and go out there. I am sure he will find it easier to find a good woman to date in real life. --- zoomers are screwed. hell half the millennials are too, aging into their 30s with no family. escape out of the apps and social media for true romance. --- ''If I knew how to dox people, and you lived close to me, I would beat you with a bat.''

The relevant tl;dr version is a lesbian thought she would masquerade as a man for a while and, when it came to dating, found that it is actually really hard for a guy; there is a lot more pressure as a man and that women are very cold and cruel to the men they reject.

Translation: Spend a few weeks as a man, & incels don't seem so incomprehensible anymore. Seriously, she admits to how picky she was herself, then feels surprised how difficult it would be for those on the other end of this mentality? It's amazing how few people can truly manage critical thinking. --- Remember kids, it's only an RPG until someone gets hit with a meteor; Then it's a JRPG! SSBB: 3869 0521 7142 ...

Also, cishet dating in general is still easy mode. If I was managing a match or two a day between all my accounts back when I heavily used them, I'd have been a happy camper. Heck, I can't remember the list time I matched with a cis woman who didn't turn out to be one of those "husband/ bf and me looking for a third" accounts. darkbuster posted... Translation: Spend a few weeks as a man, & incels don't seem so incomprehensible anymore.Most people lack any genuine sense of self awareness. Or even a sense of self in any greater context than literally just what they deal with directly on a regular basis. --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi ...

I was drunk one night and used Snapchats gender swap feature to make a tinder account using a female version picture of me. The results I got in one hour are below: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/5/6/AAazv-AADLaE.jpg This was on a profile with one picture, no description and zero effort. I have never had this much success as a man. I promptly deleted my account and have never touched online dating since then. Just imagine, if a dude pretending to be a woman who is using a grainy Snapchat gender swap picture gets this much attention, imagine what an AVERAGE looking woman gets, let alone a decently attractive one. Its no wonder that good, quality men have a hard time on online dating. Its horrible out there as a man in online dating. --- https://imgur.com/EvtcK3P ... Copied to Clipboard!

I always thought that only rude, broke, obese, unhygienic and bad looking men sucked at dating apps and others had a fair chance. lololol this is great. A rule of thumb I have is that if you notice a decent percentage of people have a problem (Something that's far beyond "you're the only one I know with X problem"), there's some societal effect that makes it a lot harder for them to do on their own. I'm not trying to discredit personal responsibility, but there's some a line between something people with common knowledge should be able to accomplish versus having to sit down, diagnose the situation and engineer a solution with consultation for outside perspectives, that's a lot to expect the general populace to do without giving up. s0nicfan posted...

Im some ways it's a blessing in disguise, the less rejection phases you, the better you are at making choices.
