I guess it just depends on methods? Because Ive had way more luck with bumble than tinder

But idk I hadnt had much motivation for much of anything last year until this thing that just ended. I went on like five dates all year and nothing was really worth the time

It has now been a full week back on the apps with ZERO matches.

I think at this point it is obvious that I am meant to be single and that any further attempts to keep dating are only going to piss God off.

It's not you man, bumble/tinder are just shells of their former glory. So many profiles are dead and gone that you're probably only swiping one real person for every 25 profiles, because everyone else has deleted the app.

OkCupid was a good fallback until it went full tinder six months ago.

Fetlife is good if you can handle searching manually for ideal ages/gender preferences.

Not all of them, but tinder and bumble are objectively well past their glory. It's still possible to have luck, but it's nowhere as easy as it was 3-4 years ago when everyone and their mother was on it.

As long as you live in a highly populated area you'll be fine. Though the 100 swipe limit on tinder might slow the process a bit.

should i try to stay friends with this girl

we've been friends for six years, it feels dumb to stop talking to her because of a few months of calling it dating

i think she was nicer to me anyway when we were just friends and she didn't feel like she could boss me around

I think she wants to tell me she loves me.
She said she'd tell me something before new year's midnight, but she didn't end up doing it cause she wasn't drunk enough.

Then yesterday she said she wanted to tell me, but she was scared telling me would just end up hurting her feelings.

I guess fear of me not saying it back. Wtf is love guys?

You guys I actually got a tinder match last night!!!
And she is really cute!!!
And we actually exchanged messages!!!

Of course she'll probably not message me back anymore, but it's better than nothing.

I get that women on these sites constantly receive inappropriate messages and I'm relieved okc at least tried to fix that, but their ideas are so terrible.

Been back on tinder and bumble for a week.
Hundreds of right swipes.

ZERO MATCHES

Like I don't get it. It's depressing.

billcom6 is bumble good?

It is basically exactly the same as tinder, the main difference being the girl has to message first and she only has 24 hours to do it or else the match disappears.

I guess compared to tinder there are less people on bumble and the girls on there seem to be a little more mature than on tinder.

Bumble's algorithm sucks. It doesn't filter out dead profiles, so the first several hundred profiles are all people who signed up, used it once, and deleted it.

It's a waste of time for a long time, but eventually you'll get to some live profiles. The problem is, they favor people who get swiped right on a lot. So it just constantly bumps hot women who got engaged two years ago and haven't been on bumble in three.

That said, I've gotten a few matches, but none of them have ever messaged me. Tinder is still better.

Bumble is waaaaaaay better

Have you actually tried bumble? Because unless you're really attractive, you won't get matches at all. Girls are even more picky with bumble.

bumble is better than tinder in my experience

a lot more people just use tinder as a time sink, bumble is more explicitly for actually meeting
