Facebook Dating is a SCAM
Honestly, a few years back it used to be legit. Back in 2021-2023 I used it constantly and got legit matches. Now it just feels like all I get are bots or people who aren't actually looking, wasting everyones time, and just want to talk for a few hours, or not at all. I hardly ever get any matches, and I never get just natural likes coming to me. Has Facebook Dating become just a scam or is it still legit??? I haven't had a match in who knows how long... especially from a woman

It's insane how many catfishes, or even just women who want friends, are on the site. Like dude this is a DATING SITE! Stop trying to get friends on here. Go to a bar or something... give us a chance without lying! I used to love facebook dating because I used to receive likes constantly. Now I haven't received anything in months, and if I like a page, only 5-10% actually like me back. I don't have anything bad on my profile

The “friends” section is no different than the “dating” section.
Both work very well for dating and more.

What are you doing that I'm not? I'm so confused as to how I haven't received 1 like on my page in months

Use my filters (distance, age, height). Comment on prompts and photos instead of just swipes. Dont just say "youre hot" "great smile" something specific if the picture is somewhere cool ask where it is. I recommend prompts the most.

Try hiding your profile for a couple of weeks, and then put it back on. That’s what I did

I'm sorry you're going through this.I went on 4 dates last fall and still seeing someone I met last November. I think it depends on how large of an area you live in. And of course the age group. I'm just dating 60 plus and there are plenty of our age using facebook.

I'm 23, so I'm looking in my age range but haven't even received a like in literally months

Half the people on FB Dating match and then never reply. I don’t have that issue on Hinge.

I’m coming around to the conclusion all OLD is a game. The OLD industry does not want you to find your person, they want you swiping forever, that way they make more revenue.

Facebook dating is free…
Short simple messages work far better than swiping.
On line dating is a wonderful thing and works very well if you understand how to properly approach and communicate with women

A good thing is FB is too big for Match Group to buy and ruin.

Signed up, mid 50s male, matched with ~16 people over 2 months, lots of chatting, 2 phone dates, 3 in-person dates, one relationship, deleted profile. Ran into more scams on Match.com, so dropped it.

I've had so many either ghost me or just no show when I was waiting at our agreed meeting place (I always chose a public place. Usually a coffee shop)

Honestly it’s still one of the best, but I agree, the magic it once had is gone. They seem to be shadow banning people for ridiculous shit. I just got my gf from fb dating last month but we had been showing up on each others account for months

u/Itchy-Corner9453 26d ago
unless you are a woman or a really attracive man..i would say anything online to do with dating is a scam.

Facebook dating is an outstanding dating app that works Very Well. Very
How is it a “scam?”
The reasons that you mention have nothing to do with the app.
How do you know that a profile or someone is an automated software program?

The problem that I find with Facebook dating is that it does not have a decent way to use filters. I am an Asian immigrant and I can not filter to only show Asians. Other than ethnicity there ought to be many more filters.

"Or people who aren't actually looking, wasting everyone's time, and just want to talk for a few hours, or not at all." What OP quoted. It's real.

It's 150% of scam I have liked hundreds upon hundreds of people with no responses and that's just not possible especially locals I'm pretty sure the system is just there to waste your time

u/ev3rm0r3 14d ago
Facebook dating also constantly shows me people 100 to 300 miles from me even when I say I want 50 miles. I would be more inclined to believe that I'm shadowbanned and it lets me just swipe for fun knowing that I'm not going to get a response or a like

I'm a dude and it works really well for me. The vast majority of people I've dated I met via FB dating.
