I've used Tinder and OKCupid. I've done god knows how many swipes (even subscribed to a 50% off Tinder Plus for 2 months for the unlimited swipes and boosts and shit), sent hundreds upon hundreds of messages on OKC of every kind of message there is.

I've gotten matches on Tinder, even fewer replies. The longest convo I had was some girl that wasn't interested in going out (then why the hell you swipe me??). Other convos include matching with girls a month later when I swiped them halfway across the country. And girls that are too far away AND flaked on meeting up.

I've gotten some replies on OKC. I had some very short conversations with girls I really wanted to meet. One girl wanted to, and then never replied. The others just didn't ever say anything after some random point. All the other girls just visit my page but never reply. I've gotten some matches on OKC too, but idk. Either they were really fat or there didn't seem like anything substantial to go off of, let alone going through all the effort to meet up and stuff.

Idk, I can't stand all the bad luck, matches that never reply, matches that match but don't want to actually meet, all the effort, and then just the pain of girls I think are cool visiting my page after I send a message but never saying anything back (or they just ghost).

Ugh

Go to a fully paid service where you know people are serious and not just using the service for an ego boost.

Tinder is a waste of time for men. The majority of women on there are either just looking for a boost to their self esteem, or have extremely high standards, because they know it's their market.

This, never approach Tinder seriously, it will ruin you. Thenonly exception to this is if you are that 5% man who is filthy rich or you look like Matt Bomer.

Are these actually good for young people (aka mid 20s)? They're always advertised for older people.

Also, I feel like girls on there might be even more likely to be weird or whatever than a free dating service. Reason being is that pretty much any girl who is moderately attractive and even a little cool can get a guy easily, either IRL or online, and have hundreds of options for free, so why would they feel the need to pay for a service? I'm sure they get a lot of dumbass messages from guys because guys are also making use of a free service, so maybe it's worth it for girls to use a paid service where the guys are more serious, but they are absolutely bound to get several serious (and cool) guys on these free sites too.

Online dating is bullshit. At least any of the free ones. Maybe paid services are better, I haven't tried any

Online dating doesn't work because people will only pick you and date you if you're good looking the majority of the time.

I turned to online dating because nothing IRL was happening for me either. I got a number of rejections, a number of missed opportunities, and a lot of flakes.

Evidently not, but I guess I'm average? I've posted my pic online before, and depending on the angle/lighting/etc, people have very mixed opinions. If I look serious and a bad pic, people say I look like I'm gonna murder them. If I smile and/or the pic is shot not-garbagely, then people say looks is definitely not my problem (and "omg u made me gay"). My guy friends and some irl girls have said that they dont think there's anything wrong with my looks or whatever.

You're giving giving them too much credit lol. Many attractive girls have a tinder account only for an ego boost and to further their options.

The ones that have extremely high standards don't know it's their market lol. They just haven't realized that they actually aren't pretty and have a plethora of deal breakers despite the amount of messages they get, usually from guys not much better. If they did realize this, they would have an account for attention and be able to pull the guys they are searching for offline.

Well keep at it if you got the momentum, but if you need a breather take one as sometimes when you're not looking for something, something might find you. Good luck to TC!

I met my wife on OKC 10 years ago so I wouldn't say it's complete worthless. Although, I probably wouldn't have met up with her on my own terms if it wasn't for her stalking me retail job at the time.

Maybe you can mention where you work and hope that she's a stalker as well? ;)
