Whats the consensus on dating apps in 2021?

Only used bumble so far and it pisses me off that I need to pay to see who swiped right if I don't want to spend hours on the app. Are all these apps outdated in the current year? Any feedback from Ontario brahs?

Hinge is the best in terms of quality, especially if you are looking for a relationship. The problem is that you can only swipe like 12 people a day, unlike Bumble or Tinder.

I think Tinder is gutter trash and still use Bumble, although that's getting pretty close to gutter trash now.

They are destabilizing our society in real time.

However if you're an 8+ male they are still quite good.

You may like them, you may find them a waste of time. Waste of time for me, too many flakes.

Best way to date in 2021 if you are a high value male.

If you are average or below - look yourself in the mirror and improve on that. Most guys dont know how to sell themselves srs.

I have no doubt that there are many high value men who fail on tinder due to being born with poor facial aesthetics.

And similarly, a good proportion of men who are successful on tinder are very low value men who are content smashing Randoms from now until the end of time and have never offered anything to a woman other than sex.

Hinge is the only one even remotely worth it.

Tinder and Bumble are garbage.

Good looking matters, yes. But looks is part of value. However - there is a disconnect. A lot of people fail at apps and think it's some 'Im not good looking' nonsense.


Nope. Most guys just dont know how to sell themselves. A great dating app profile takes some work and thought. MOST men can succeed in dating apps. But they would generally rather make excuses

I used to think this way but it's impossible for most men to succeed on dating apps now. Men outnumber women by something crazy like 8:1, validation and attention seeking women are at an all time high so even if you match prepare for flakes and having to jump through hoops like you're a fking trained monkey.

I do agree that selling yourself is critical. Most people on those apps have weight problems, and maybe a couple pics taken by a friend with a grainy phone camera, from a bad angle with poor lighting.

If men wear stylish, well fitting clothes and go to a professional photographer the difference is night and day. They can raise themself 3 points on the looks spectrum.

That's nice and all but I didn't say I struggle with it, just that it's impossible for most men to be successful.

There's no such thing as "online game", she either wants to **** you or not and that just depends on how goodlooking you are to her.

Misc acts like you are either coming across as absolute chad or timmothy. In reality there is definitely in between. There are a ton of good looking guys, myself included, that with a lame ass profile wouldnt have nearly as much success.

There's also a fair share of guys that are leaving points on the table by not displaying themselves as high value. I agree that every guy cant just whip out a hinge profile today and make it - but the MAJORITY of dudes can get there. It's just that most are out of shape losers with zero personality or experience.

You put the work in, hit the gym, lose that fat, add some definition, have a sense of style, self respect, some interesting hobbies, etc. and you will get plenty of matches on the apps.




Most dudes are just clueless

This is absolutely wrong. When I was naive I would only get about 0.01% of my matches to smash. Now that I know how to play the game I would say that I can smash 30% of the ones that respond to my initial message. srs.

I've been tall and white my entire life. Didn't mean jack until later in life where I prioritized fitness/diet, and even past then not until I learned 'game' which is more or less:

-be assertive
-know how to escalate
-know how to give the right amount of attention (not too much, not too little)
- know how to stand out and be memorable
- know how to give her **** (aka flirting)
- understand logistics


Trust me lad a lot of trial and error went into this. But like with anything you got to be willing to fail, fail fast, learn from it, and improve

The logistics part underrated. You would be surprised how many women are willing to smash if you make it convenient for them.
