Couldn't imagine settling down with some hussie that has been ran-through. Unless you can get them younger the West is off limits. If you're intent on smash & dash then accept that you'll probably have to take on nasty stds.

Should change name from Plenty of Fish to Lots of Bots.

unless you're a legit 10/10, this isn't true for vast majority of guys. I'm decent looking, atheltic built, independent money, not autistic and its so hard to get a decent date here.

There's nothing to lose. Though it was back when they were better, dating apps are the only way I've ever gotten a date and eventually the relationships I had. So they can work for even the worst among us or at least they did before.

My view is, dont pay, dont put much time in or take it seriously. Just have it on, have a set limited time when you check it/swipe like only certain days for certain time. Nothing to lose by doing that.

Hell no. You swipe <10 times then hit a paywall, anytime a decent girl matches she doesn't answer OR unmatches, and "decent girl" is really a 5-7/10 that will inevitably look worse or fatter irl.

I get nowhere on dating apps but irl girls approach me or flirt with me at bars & clubs a lot. Definitely not worth it. Though "worth" is just a few swipes and messages. Either way whole thing feels unnatural af messaging a girl, trying to spark a relationship out of words on a screen. I wish all men would nut up and just leave the apps so we'd get back to doing things the right way.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Chad/tyrone are doing good on there so they wont leave. If the other 90% of men leave the apps, it would change nothing cause the women werent matching with them anyway.

Also how good looking are some of you fukers to have women approaching you. its a world I cant imagine. so jelly.

I don't know what happened to it. 10 years ago it was ok. It was never great, but still had some utility. All you had to do was post a few pictures- just regular pictures, nothing crazy. Now, it's like everybody's living an extravagant lifestyle

Not at all.

What is the benefit for a man? Get ignored by multiple women? Hell, most of us can do that for free just by being ourselves.

These apps were designed to stroke womens egos. Obviously they cater almost exclusively to women.

keep in mind, I used to work at Eharmony so have a bit of insider information on how they work.

Until recently the only way to meet women was approaching. This whole dating app stuff has only been around for 30 years or so at most, not that long in the entirety of man.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda
