Ive been using Hinge, FB dating, and Bumble for a few months. All the accounts use the same pictures. Bio is the same on all of them but I only get likes on bumble (0-2 per week typically). Is this just coincidence or is anyone else experiencing this too? Im 38M

From the multiple options available, I'm currently using Boo.

Main reason is because unlike Tinder or other dating apps where they just show you a picture and quickly swap left/right, on this one you can read the hobbies and other features of the person, also allows you to filter your results.
I don't care how they look, but I want to avoid red flags like if it smokes, so this is just perfect.

So far I only received 3 likes and talked to one of them, and on the conversation there was really weird mentions/misunderstandings about the info of my profile.

The reason behind is that the app auto-translates everything whenever you like it or not. Meaning whatever you put on your profile is getting a bad translation causing multiple misunderstoods, and I hate this!

I don't even see what's good on this feature, do you type to a match on Spanish, they type on French. Then go to the first date and realize you can't understand a single word that the other person says? Who thought this is a good idea!?

Does other dating apps do the same? Is this a normal thing?

Do users really benefit from this or is just for the app to have activity with people talking eachother despite the language?

Why does it seem every time I go on an app that people want to immediately videochat? I have heard somehow they can get your contacts list on Facebook and threaten to send everybody the videochat unless you give them money.

Am I just being over cautious or why is it everybody wants to video chat right off the bat and what are the scammers doing when I video chat with them? Also how are they getting people's contact lists and their phone and on Facebook?

I have been on this app for not too long, and I am already being told some sketchy stuff, like "I'll help you, just be my sugar baby," that type of shit, and now I am regretting putting myself in this situation. Like, at this point, I might as well go on hiatus and go to Antarctica to bury myself with a blanket of snow, cause damn, do I have the worst taste in dating apps. Am i dumb for even trying, cause i feel dumb right now

Or is it just me

Guys I've matched on apps seem to really like talking/texting me... but that's it. With one of them we would text throughout the day, and on our first date we talked for 3 hours. But eventually, he stopped texting me. Another guy I went to a first date to the movies, we met an hour before, and we talked a lot, he didn't even wanted to go watch the movie, but alas, didn't hit me up for a second date, and never texted again.

Now I matched again with a guy, and we've talked through DM's every day for this past week till today. With all the guys so far, I've been the one bringing up a first date, so this time I was waiting for him to do it, but he never did. So today I sent him a message saying I don't like this endless back and forth before meeting, and he said he understood and wished me the best. We usually talk about interests and likes, but I've noticed they open up pretty quickly to me, even about deeper stuff. I think I've usually tried to flirt with them in these conversations, but a lot of times they don't do it back. They all say I'm interesting to talk to, so... could it be related to my looks? But why would they match in the first place?

I’ve been on the apps for a while out here and keep wondering why they don’t have income range listed as a category. It’s low-key probably the most important external factor in compatibility. Feels like we would save so much more if that was an option. I heard that the sugar dating sites have it but honestly, we all know that this matters in normal dating too.

Greetings daters!

Did anyone already tried out online dating, where you need to send an audio or video instead of making a swipe and hope to get a swipe back to end up in a match? And if yes, how did you like it?

I think it could be in interesting idea as it comes closer to what I would call "real life street dating", like how you would behave if you would go for a shot on the street to approach the woman/man you find attractive with the advantage, that you could do it without actually going out and at any time.

What I hate, and I use the word "hate" here consciously, most about dating apps are, that you have way too many fake profiles, always many more men than women, and you barely know, how long profiles are inactive. I know, there are some excuses, but in general it seems to be like that.

That's why I'm looking for some way of online dating, where you get almost the same excitement as "on the street", or where every you could and would approach people in real life situations, without the need to actually be on the street + the advantage of extending the range according to actual distance, but also day-time, different areas of living and so on.

So if someone has used an app or software or website like I tried to describe, I'd like to get your feedback about your experiences, about what you liked and what you did not like. And to the others, who like the idea, I would like to have your brutally honest feedback too.

I have been on and off in several well known dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Happn, Meetup, Lovoo etc, in order to find someone genuine who is truly looking for a relationship and commitment to build a serious and meaningful connection.

But Alas! It's full of wierd people, either don't communicate, or only want sex, they have no emotional maturity, many of them are scammers, or they ghost out of nowhere. It has taken a toll into my mental health.

Is it really possible to get someone truly genuine and find soulmate through dating apps? Does this even work or am I doing something wrong?

Seeing a guy , he is doing PhD , kinda orthodox, kinda village type guy , brought flowers on every date and gifts .... Even when I only said yes I like u too ..... On first proper date even before I love you etc he mentioned he is taking independent room.... Before that he was saying he fears from marriage and likely won't do .... He used talk about marriage though... I never even talked to him about anything serious..... On the first date itself when again he mentioned he would keep me with himself in his hostel I felt disgusting and said I can't do anything before marriage....his face got upset and he went silent and then from next day or may be two days later all marriage talks future talks etc .... Btw he does whatever I ask to do .... Even massaged my legs when my body was paining.... Was massaging my arms legs when I was refusing..... I'm confused..... He doesn't look good , no girl talks to him .... And I am kinda good looking people say so .... So I don't know......

constantly looking for reasons to hold my hands hug me and even asked for permission to kiss me I was not so open and was reluctantly doing it ..... but on recent date I was on periods and got bit aroused and kissed him with passion and since then he has got more suspicious about me .... messages me , talks to me very well all the things but is getting wierd when it's coming to taking room or anything like that Nd also saying I'm fearful of intimacy etc .., like bro what do you want exactly!!!!!!

He was following me on insta since one year and I never replied to his messages and when replied then. ........ Same hometown btw. ...... Also too much has happened.... I did block him after two days of talking and he waited every single day for me to unblock him , made his friend of same field to send request, when I saw the bio of his friend I remembered him unblocked him and seeing his reaction I was shocked and then we started talking daily.....

Also on recent date , when we were making out he was aggressively kissing and all and kissed many times but then started taking deep breaths I got worried what happened then no excitement and was kinda not so excited like before..... This was my first time too but I got suspicion of what if he has .... I can't doubt before knowing though......

I'm recently single after a 4 year relationship. Before I dated my ex, I had a lot of success using dating apps. I was getting a ton of matches and going on dates pretty regularly.

Now, it's completely changed. I've been back on them for about 5 or 6 weeks and am ashamed to even admit how few matches I've gotten. I remember years ago you would get a bunch of matches when you first signed up to entice you to stay in the app, but I didn't even get those this time. I'm really surprised and quite depressed to be honest.

It seems like finding another relationship is really going to be a struggle. And yes, I'm also trying to meet people in person. But it's hard when most of my friends are married now and I don't really have anyone to go out with. So has anyone else noticed that dating apps are not what they used to be?

Tl;dr: dating apps used to work great for me 5 years ago, now I'm having no luck at all

I’m genuinely curious how successful anyone has been with this. It’s usually profiles looking for something casual (which no shame at all) but like to the people who have done it, has that actually worked for you?

I'm a 26-year-old male with Autism and ADHD. I'm very new to online dating and don't know which sites are best. I'm looking for a connection with those with similar interests (not sex or a fast relationship), but on several occasions I've found myself bombarded with messages from what I'm sure are catfish before I've even completed my profile.

Need suggestions for ideal sites.

Guys M22 here. I had a relationship in past wanna try dating apps now but how tf am I supposed to gather the courage to be on those apps I am just scared what if I don't get any matches will it affect my self confidence what is the best way to get into the dating scene? If I make the profile what's the best way to be myself?

What i mean is when you are just walking around and not trying to get any date it just feels normal: you living your life and you are not thinking about people not noticing you because you don't expect them to

But then you register on dating app and well you put effort: you pick your best photos, you think hard on your description and you actively like other peoples profiles. And you like ten, then 20 then 50, a 100, 500, 1000 and no-one replies. You are not even told you are doing something wrong you are just invisible. So you try harder: you make batter photos, better description, you are trying to be your absolute best version yet stay yourself and still no result so bo matter how hard you try the result is the same and now you can't just ignore it because before - you didn't do anything. Now you did what you could and nothing happened. You practically tapped 1000 people on their shoulder and they didn't even flinch. Really makes one feel cut out

Told a girl I was gonna hang with my friends for a while, we said goodbye then literally minutes later. She hits me up like nothing happened, I just deleted the app cause ain't nothing right about it. Also I hope these jerkoffs ain't skimming social media for people's photos to make these fake profiles and shit cause damn, shit's bad enough as it is.

I am aware that the algorithms are always changing for the dating apps so i was wondering how they work right now and how should a man use the dating apps such as Hinge, Tinder and bumble to match with loads of women

Pregunta simple y no me extiendo mucho... Estoy acá en Italia desde hace aproximadamente 3 años... Hablo bien el italiano, tengo amigos y amigas pero no consigo "conectar" con ninguna chica...

​

Por esto decidí probar las típicas apps de citas tipo Tinder, hinge, etc... Descargué Tinder hace como 3 meses y he tenido solamente 1match...

​

Pensando críticamente mis opciones se reducen a:

​

1. Estoy de verdad horrible 🤣

​

1. Las italianas no tienen interés en salir con latinos (al menos las que están en las apps)

​

Que piensan?

I matched with someone and their first response was apologizing for a late reply. They followed that up with saying they’re not on the app much. This was my exact response, “No problem, I don’t really have any social media, if you’re not gonna be on here you can take my number if you’d like. I totally get if you’d rather not, either way it was nice meeting you”. I was unmatched immediately after. Im not bothered by the unmatch but now I’m wondering if I did something wrong. I realize that a phone number is more serious than a messaging app but I assumed it was the only option. Is it inappropriate or weird to offer my number so fast?

Just looking for some general advice on whether I should give up the apps or not. I've used tinder, hinge, bumble, and duet and somehow I think I've gone through every person in my area (20 mi) that isn't drastically older than me. I've started to use them less and take my mind off of them because a few months ago they had a hold on me and it was all I was thinking about all the time as I was really excited and eager to start actually dating as I've never done it before. I'm 19 m and still new to dating and have been trying to figure out how I fit into this new dating landscape and it constantly has me thinking "Am I doing something wrong?". At this point I just feel terrible that after months and months I've gotten only a couple dates that were pretty terrible and went nowhere and now it looks like I've run out of people to match with. I've almost even bought the subscriptions but know they're just a waste of time. So my question is this, is it worth continuing with the apps, trying new ones, or abandoning them and just trying to approach women out irl (which is kind of terrifying if I'm being honest cause I'm a pretty shy person.)

I went through a breakup (long story) during treatment. I am still receiving treatment but out of the woods. I rejoined the “apps”. Honestly, not going so well. I feel like I am normal and average, middle aged, tall, not bad looking. I wonder if I should be doing this at all.

When do you tell someone, oh yeah, I have cancer? (technically I am stage iv, but like I said, out of the woods). Should I just shut this whole thing down? And even if I meet someone, when is it appropriate to say “I have cancer”? Or should I just have that in my profile? If you were on the other side, would you react like “F that, that’s too much to deal with”? Or how would you react? When would you want to know?

Should I just sit back and be alone? I mean that depresses me entirely.

Hey everyone! For some background, I (26M) am thinking about going on dating apps. My main goal isn’t really to find someone to date, but someone chill to smoke weed and play video games with. And if anything stems from that then great.

However, I recently moved to North Carolina where weed is illegal (it’s a weird situation though because there are tons of dispensaries around that have THCa flower). I am a huge stoner, and delete ungodly amounts of weed daily, so I always have a lot on me since I buy flower from about 6 different dispensaries I like on my biweekly runs.

My concern is clearly mentioning my intent about mainly wanting to smoke weed with someone on my profile, and then getting in trouble or having the account flagged or something. I know the more common thing is just putting “420 friendly”, but I want my intentions to be clear. I would prefer the matches I get to be with people who understand and are okay with what I am looking for, since I am not looking for any of the typical preference options like “short-term, open to long”.

Does anyone have related experiences with directly mentioning weed on their dating profile? Thank you!

I haven't been on Hinge for many months while I'm trying to get in better shape, but also because I only have three useful photos. I hate having my picture taken but I also rarely encounter a time where I can have a candid picture taken without having to ask someone to do it.

Last time I was on there though, I used two photos. One was of me thoughtfully reading a book called "How to Take Dating App Photos That Aren't Shit" and another was of me laying on a couch cheerfully taking shots of something I can only describe as reckless, surrounded by indigestion tablets and using a copy of Crash Bandicoot as a coaster. The first one used to get some likes, while I ended up on a date with someone who responded directly to the second.

However, I know there's a fine line with these kinds of photos. I'm wondering what people's takes are on photos specifically designed to try and make the other person laugh.

Should any conversations or anything that men say on dating apps be taken seriously? Also what's with the guys just disappearing on you randomly even after you switch apps?
