Zero messages? You must be doing something wrong.

It's efficient in the sense that you don't have to get dressed, go out and spend money at a bar and sort through the masses of physical people and crowds looking for a physical needle in the haystack when you can do it virtually at home naked on the toilet quickly by the thousands.
do I have to spell that out to you? Swiping right means they like you... I thought you had dating apps?

bumble you have to wait for the girls to message you and yes, I have kept count. Of all the chicks that I have swept right on, right at 80% have swiped right back on me.

it's hilarious going to bars especially nicer ones. I remember sitting at the bar of this place in st. augustine florida on st. george street, very nice place, and there were groups of people all sitting with each other. All males, all females, no in between.

I do a lot of people watching to see what social media is doing to society. Yesterday I went into a hooters and counted 49 guys in there, 1 female. Other hooters I've been a regular at I've seen a grand couple of maybe 2 couples. No one I have ever seen at the bar has ever hit on any of the girls that work there. They honestly look bored out of their minds, there is zero mingling.

The initial place I spoke about, there were 2 girls that came in there dressed to the nines. Absolute dimes, they sat and chatted for about an hour. Then started sitting on their phones, and then left. No one dared approaching them, although that was clearly what they were there for.

I'm going to start asking people where they met their significant others. I'm curious to see what the ratios are, because i'm willing to bet about 80% of them are going to say mutual friends. I want to know just how honest they are going to be about it as well. I want to see how many of them actually say they met through dating apps.
3. Meeting someone by chance in public is not the norm
Your chances of meeting someone while out and about are slim. Out of partnered adults surveyed about their first relationships, only 18% met at work, while 17% met through school, 8% met at a bar or restaurant and 5% met at a place of worship. This makes sense: In 2022, we’re more connected through our devices than ever before, meaning that we’re able to keep in touch better with our current social circles and maybe less apt to be social and meet new people—friends or partners—in person.

4. 39% of male-female relationships are now started online
In a study of American adults, researchers found that nearly 40% of heterosexual relationships begin through dating sites or apps. With people leading busier, more technology-focused lives, using digital tools for finding love is becoming more common.

The algorithm chooses what items you should buy. It knows what you can afford, it knows how to squeeze you, it knows what you want, it knows what jobs you want, it knows what you want to do for fun, it plans your vacations, it teaches you how to cook, it teaches you how to think, it shows you what’s going on in the world, it picks your mate, and it will raise your children.


And you fgts think AI needs to take over.

Lmao, we just need to give the third world access to cell phones.

listen bro. your "matches" might have been bots. if you want success, you have to -

1. be good looking - at minimum
2. good pics and profile
3. be in a good city
4. keep your target prospect expectations realistic for your level

nothing can help you if you don't have those 3 above. you have no avi so i'm skeptical of your claims.

doubt they were bots, i'm just curious as to why no one messaged. That's why I uninstalled it, seemed like a waste of time and the chicks were just on there for attention.

1. what do you rate yourself out of 1-10 in terms of looks and success? post a pic.
2. how good were your pics and profile?
3. what city are you in?
4. are you having better luck in public?

Yea but what % of people's profile is real?

What % of people even look at anything beyond the pics?

I bet like 5 to 10% of people's profile is real. Then it's all cultivated to make it appear a certain way, more grandiose than normal/ reality

It would be better if there were actual questions and answers that needed to be verified but even when answering them they could all be faked behind a computer

Even in addition to what I posted earlier, this is why I think dating app bishes are even bigger sluts.

Dating apps are ass. I get matches but theyre either bots, sloots advertising their socials, or flakes.

Usually only use tinder or bumble. I can go on hinge and bang a fat bich, but who wants that

Ive gotten laid way more through meetup groups and bars/lounges

Then a few minutes later some other younger guy (fat, tattoos, and big plug earings, looked like a total loser) came in and sat a few seats down from me. She moved her glances over to him, and he instantly jumped out of seat and ran over to her and started chatting.

I was in shock how desperate this old bitch was to get laid.

I've never cheated on my wife, but thinking about it, I bet that old bitch would have sucked the soul out of my body.


I'll agree that regular club/bars aren't the same, but seems the traveling sales rep scene is still down to bang
Hotel and airport bars are great. Their shield is usually down. Bonus points at the hotel bar you are a stones throw away from your room.

Yes. 5 dates in 3 weeks. It could be a lot more but I refuse to travel that far and I only have so much energy. I'm 43 on Bumble and nobody is none the wiser. I tell them after they meet me tho and they don't care. My pics are current.

Still nothing like hand to hand in person combat

In saying that as you get older and all your friends have grown up and are married or in ltrs there are less guys to go out with in groups now or guys who want to hit the town and pick up girls and I’m certainly not going out alone so online dating is more practical these days

Answer me this

- it's usually the ugly fat gross women who will invite you over or come over without a date
- little effort little reward

- quality hot women beyond the age of 20 know what they got. They need to use a date to screen you in or out first.

They aren't gonna just show up randomly at your house and let Timothy hit

Yeah but if you're a bank robber you got to go where the money is. The prospects are on the dating apps not out at the bars. Not in any large quantities anymore. Those days are gone. You need a target rich environment. Sales is a numbers game. You need numbers. You need prospects and activity. That's the apps. I don't like it but I choose to deal with the world the way it is not how I'd like it to be. Go to the bars and you're going to mostly see a bunch of dudes in a sausage festival. Maybe a group of girls but they don't want to be bothered. They're not qualified prospects. Single girls are on the apps.
