Everybodys personalities went to shit with smart phones. It gave people a weird out to dismiss and devalue the person sitting right next to them, without little effort. Maybe those people were already shit, but smartphones enabled their shittiness

I've gone on a few dates using Hinge - but it's difficult to actually get to that point unless you're extremely good-looking or have amazing photos that really capture something interesting for the average woman.

I've seen my good-looking girl friend swipe left on dudes' profiles in an instant if the first photo - regardless of how attractive (imo) the guy looked because she didn't like it immediately. I generally take time looking over the profile to get a good glimpse into whatever amount of personality might show through - but there's always someone on the other hand swiping like a madman without a second thought.

That's why online dating has never worked for me, except I had some success in okcupid back in the day when it was structured differently.

Okcupid used to be a good dating site then they ruined it and it has only gotten worse since then. I had some success with it long ago before back when I was single but that was before the changes.

No offense, but I'm very fed up with people complaining about how lonely they are on the internet.

It's damn near inescapable at this point.

I'm probably never going to find a good relationship, but that's something I'm growing to accept. I just simply can't afford to live any type of lifestyle conducive to that, nor do I have access to the healthcare which would put me in a better position to put myself out there.

I'm 29, which makes me a dinosaur unless I settle for overweight single mothers. I remember using Tinder and Bumble back in the day and it was always a depressing nightmare.

I think this is defeatist. I've gotten back into dating at 29 and not found this to be the case at all

Yeah, I am 45 and I have done all of my dating in my 40s. Actually, I was with my ex wife from 19 to 39, but I never actually dated prior to her and that was a setup. So I literally learned at 40. Never too late.

Also, my gf is 29, thin and no interest in her own children (she is cool with mine). Not saying this to brag but to make a point

I'm pretty much screwed. I'll never be able to achieve financial independence, I'm going to be stuck working crappy jobs that people look down on, and I have a lot of health problems that can't get fixed as I can't afford any insurance. I've also been in several abusive relationships which utterly ruined the idea of sexuality and intimacy for me, so it's not even like I'm worth a one-night stand.

People by nature are cruel and judgmental. I'm a decent-looking person who isn't socially awkward, but that's just not enough. In a way I'm in the process of restarting my life, but I'm about to be 30. I completely wasted my twenties.

Having never been on a date or having even the slightest chance at one at 29, I'm fairly certain it's too late for me with how bad it is... I was already ugly and not getting better as time goes...

Nah. But I'd hypothetically be some old-ass thirtysomething being weird and trying to have fun despite being old as fuck. People would judge me or make fun of me, like they always have.

Yes.

But in my experiences, all that got even worse with the pandemic

Dude, did you read my comments? Also, at the age of 40, I met a ton of single friends all in their 20s and 30s. They never judged me for being older and accepted me wholeheartedly. Five years later, they are still my friends.

I'd personally feel uncomfortable with that, and would always be self-conscious about being old. I can only speak from my own perspective, but I'd be under the impression that there would be an ulterior motive.

So this is in your own head, which is the most difficult impediment there is. But I can say that most people don't care about things like age once they reach 25 or so.

Why are people bring up their age? You do know it's very common for girls to date guys older (hell even twice their age) while very uncommon for a guy to date a girl older than her right? Women have a "time limit" while guys don't. On average most guys prefer to bang someone younger than they are and on average most girls prefer to be with someone more experienced (which alot of times means older).

It's never too late and having a defeatist attitude only makes it worst.

As mentioned, I cannot afford therapy or psychiatry at all. When I barely could, the only therapist I could afford was a woman who would shill a yoga class she taught and shoehorn hip hop references she thought I wouldn't understand.

There are others in my boat but I don't want to be associated with them. I'm embarrassed of my hobbies and more embarrassed of other people who share them.

It's not much different from what I gather. Dating apps are a new dimension for meeting, but in terms of actual dates, it's not really changed. It's just building chemistry through casual conversation

The issue is me having significant emotional issues which I cannot afford to treat in the slightest, and having no support system to make it at least feel a little better. I'm also realistically not going to be able to live independently, and nobody wants someone still living at home.

I'm 29, having barely experienced anything on this planet, and the prospect of doing so does nothing for me. People aren't looking for love anymore. It's either casual sex or a financially-dependent relationship.
