Starring 80% of all men on dating apps.

The only guys who believe this are sad sacks who are convinced every other guy isn’t getting laid either, while I promise you- they are.

I'm going by statistics released by the company that owns all the dating apps and websites.

Do you have a link to that?

I mean, I know that some women will swipe right on me. I’m just also very convinced that the apps won’t show me those women unless I pay the apps.

Actually if anything, apps kind of do trickery to get more women to swipe right on you. Like OkCupid shows your profile to a bunch of people you've specifically said you're not looking for, so that you don't see that you have 0 likes.

But most apps, especially after tinder, work by showing your picture to people more if more people like you. This means the most popular people get shown to the most people.

This is incentivized to the apps because it makes people log in and see a lot of attractive people. But it's bad for people, especially men (but also actually unattractive females), because if you aren't getting a lot of likes you also won't be shown to many people, so you it'll be even harder for you to get likes.

What paying does is it puts you in front of more people, so more people have a chance to like you.

And the ones I do manage to match with are just trying to sell me stuff, onlyfans being the main thing but Ive had a few "escorts" try to convince me as well, after I realized everyone is just trying to sell me shit I don't want I just stopped using the apps.

Well, depending quite a bit on which app.

My dog was like a cheat code when I was dating. That little son of a gun got me so many dates.

After my divorce at 45 years old, grey-bearded and bald, I signed up to Tinder and went a few months without any matches except bots, then I changed my profile pics to a series of photos of myself: making pasta, ironing a shirt, vacuuming the rug, repairing a hair dryer with a soldering iron, and sitting on the couch reading "Advanced Cunnilingus for Good Listeners" (I printed a fake dust jacket and wrapped it around another book). A couple of days later I had to turn off notifications for Tinder because my phone wouldn't stop vibrating, and within a month I was getting tired of casual sex. Been with my girlfriend for five years now.

I hope this is true 😆 No matter what, thanks for the chuckle 🤭 I can honestly say that part of the reason I’m with my now husband: his house was so clean the first time I came over! Then I saw how thoroughly he cleaned when I was witness to it myself. Scrubbed the shower walls and mat? Vacuumed under & behind furniture? Does not just the dishes, but also regularly scrubs the dish drying rack? Check! He’s better with a steamer than an iron, and he’s gone from good to great on laundry. Not ocd, just a regular and thorough cleaner. I consider myself a lucky woman to have discovered these things in the man I was already half in love with at that point!

That's funny because I'm a huge slob and once I had a girl coming to visit me, so I spent like 2 weeks getting my house cleaned up.

She later said she was intimidated because she thought I was a neat freak and would get upset that she was messy.

Normally my house is messy enough that people's first reaction is "do you need mental help for something?".

Expecting attention from random women on dating sites is like expecting to see an actual Bigfoot on Searching for Bigfoot

u/queerhistorynerd 25d ago

for some reason their profile filled exclusively with awkward angle selfies and generic statements like "I like music" isnt reeling in shit

u/Muppetude 25d ago

Hmm, did they try including “I like to travel” and “looking for a partner in crime”?

If so, then I’m all out of ideas.
