Dating apps? * 1
    #27013578 - 10/31/20 10:39 AM (3 years, 2 months ago)

I’m 29 and I just got out of a 7 year relationship. I feel like I’m ready to start dating someone. I’ve been out of the loop for so long when it comes to dating apps. What are some good dating apps that don’t cost money?

Thanks 🙏🏼

Tinder and bumble. I wouldn't recommend using them unless you were looking for totally casual meaningless sex. However, if you really want to have casual meaningless sex, its pretty easy to get once you figure out how to game the apps. Its super artificial and takes the romance out of it for me. I think meeting partners in a real physical setting is very helpful for a long term thing. However for obvious reasons this is a lot harder to do now.

Tinder cost money though... I made a account but it wouldn’t let me see my matches unless I paid a fee. Does bumble or okqupid cost money? I honestly wanna see how my ex reacts when she knows I have a new woman in my life. We have a kid together so she’s always gonna be part of my life. She got and shape and now she’s “feeling her self.” I still love her but our relationship was very toxic.

Okqupid was free when I used it, was like 9 years ago though. May have changed.

Tinder, Bumble, and most apps have an option to pay for premium features. You can easily get a conversation going and potentially get laid without paying for these features, they just make it easier.

There's no charge for that. You just have limited swipes

Okqupid is totally free for all the basics. You get a match if you both liked each others profiles. You can message ect. All dating apps are going to offer a premium service... it’s how they stay in business.

You can only talk to people on tinder after you match with them. That means you swipe yes on them and they swipe yes on you. Just use the apps, dont pay for anything its not really worth it IMO.

That means it wasnt a match, there is a screen where your conversations are. Either you didnt swipe them or they didnt swipe you. Their circle becomes unblurred when you match each other

I think dating apps are a curse, personally. There's a dynamic they add to the whole act of meeting someone new that is tainted with.. bad energy, IMO.

I've been plenty successful using them, but after a couple of years of doing so - in hindsight - I wish I had never picked the things up and instead focused my energies elsewhere.

Of course though; I totally get how much they can help in getting over a deep relationship. But after my experiences I would never recommend turning to them. Far more to be gained focusing on oneself.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

Maybe it's just me...

But when I've been in a relationship for a while (several years) and break up with the person, I like to take some time to just be "alone" and be with myself and focus on myself for a while instead of trying to jump right back into the dating game and another relationship soon after I just got out a long relationship.

I find it super strange when people that have just got out of a long relationship try to start dating and looking for another relationship right after.

How do you decide if you like someone or not merely by looking at pics of them for 20 minutes? You've never met or talked with them before and you know nothing about them at all, how can one possibly like or dislike someone based off pics alone? Is that really how these dating apps work?

Pics of someone doesn't convey much...I'd never be able to figure out if I "like" someone or not just by looking at some pics of them.

As someone who has been out of "the game" for a long while and doesn't even know where to cross paths with potential dates...

...I have considered trying a dating app....

....but it feels so damn artificial to me and takes away a tremendous amount of the "magic" and "thrill" and "unknowns" of meeting someone randomly and flirting and sparking up some energy and feeling the chemistry vibing then taking the guts to ask the person for their # and/or out on a date. What gets my heart pumping and butterflys fluttering and gets me all giddy are those first moments of chemistry between myself and another that lead up to one asking the other on a date. I feel like most of that would be non-existent if I was just flipping through a list of ladies to choose from and then I meet with that person and we both already know that we're looking for a date. The date is already happening and there hasn't even been any magic or chemistry happening. I dunno, the whole thing feels ass-backwards and artificial to me.

And the impression I get is that most dating apps are just people looking for casual hook ups & casual dating.....and that's not what I'm looking for. I'm not trying to hook up with someone after going out for just a single night. And I feel there is sometimes expectations of having sex with those dating apps.

I know some people have found their "soul-mates" through dating apps...but to me they just seem very plastic/artificial and I feel they would take away all the magic and thrill out of meeting someone new for me.


Also...the type of ladies I'm interested in, I highly doubt would be using a dating app.

In my experience of these apps many are looking for much more than that; a good 20% of the profiles that I recall reading would stipulate that they were looking for something 'serious', which was an immediate turn off for me; for IMO it is a non-sequitur to look for something 'serious' through that medium. I feel it belies emotional instability and an unrealistic and entitled POV to state that from the get go.

The problem with someone of that mindset on an app is that one then gets considered like an applicant for a job; one is being sized up rather than being part of an enjoyable and magical meeting of hearts and minds.

my conclusion after my experiences is basically the same as yours; that the kind of person I am interested in meeting is simply not the kind of person that would use a dating app. The more successful I got at it the more I realised that most women that use them are really quite emotionally unstable people. Which is fine if you just want a fling but bad news if you want anything more than that.

I think the overt focus on looks is a big part of what adds to the toxicity of these platforms. People that have been using them for some time seem to become only more jaded by doing so. Approach with caution sir!!

Im totally with you man. My girl and I have been together 4 1/2 years and I’m absolutely in love with her. We’ve had a really hard time too. Most people would’ve split up already but we don’t want that. I’d be totally devastated if I lost her and it would be a really long time before I could even imagine being with someone else.

You mean that people still want to have face to face with random strangers?



Ugh, back in the day you could literally throw up in someone's mouth and have them come back to kiss you

Now a days that means a possible herd immunity to the rona or the FASTLY evolving flu.

Dating apps help date outside your social circles. I've found that people sometimes get trapped in a social circle and panic when they can't find anyone in there they want to commit to.

I met women I would have never encountered in my normal lifestyle. Often when you live a somewhat big city the grind of working to afford capital to survive is intense. The old ways of dating are no longer applicable to our society. A true blind date is impossible to achieve, too little courage left among our worrisome populace. The pursuit of true love on a dating app is a monumental task. Like Zizek says you "if you have reasons you love someone you don't love them".

Stop being lazy and be a nicer person.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

well first, are you accusing me of being negative or rude to the matches I do get? I'm not sure what else you could be trying to say.
And laziness...? The most you can do on an app is use all your swipes every day. What do you mean by that?

Yea you are telling someone you don’t know to be a nicer person and saying they are lazy. You should take your own advice

Actually, yeah and I have been interacting here for a good number of years, both in public and PM, so to say I don't know him is incorrect. Spend some more time around the social sides of the community and I think you'll find that lots of bonds here between people run really quite deep.

Like we've discussed before man, I'm not judging you of anything, and I'm not suggesting that I know anything about what you do away from the forum.

However I was dissecting your post here:

Quote:

yeah said:
JSB tell us how to game dating apps



For starters, you haven't made a polite request at all here. You haven't put effort into this post. You could have made this request in a far, far nicer manner. And then secondly, I think it lazy that you wish to be told how to be successful rather than going through the work - the trial and error and head scratching and debating and changing - that those that achieve success go through. Successful people - IME - generally don't ask other people how to be successful. They just get on with it and do it.

Anyway, I think that your one line post above is likely indicative of why you've struggled with these apps, hence why I tired to highlight that to you.

Maybe I'm dead wrong of course.

Anyways dating apps are all looks and wealth signaling so I was wondering what you meant by "gaming" the system.
If you don't get matches then there's nothing you can do. Writing unpunctuated text on the internet has no effect on this.

You're considerably better looking than me; I have no idea how you manage to fail on those apps.

I never said anything about 'gaming' the system.

I swear I read you say you figured out how to game apps. Maybe it was someone else in a different thread? :methisgood:

I think that was me! You can game the algorithm for apps like tinder. If you swipe right on every profile, you go to the bottom of the pile. If you swipe left on everyone, you go towards the top. So what you need to do (aside from having an attractive or superficial profile) is swipe between 1/3 - 2/3. Make swiping a split second decision and get through as many profiles as possible. No need to dwell on every little detail on their profile, wait till after you have a date set up and you want to make conversation.

I really think the way these apps are set up do not reflect how humans naturally meet partners and fall in love. It rewires everybodys perception of relationships and while its a really cool idea to see every single women in a 50 mile radius, its not natural and has lots of social complications

I just had to cut off a scammer on tinder. It was this cute blonde chick but her English was weird when she would send messages. She asked for my number, I gave it to her. It was like a 5 digit number with a link. She was asking me to give her the code to know if I was real or not. I said we can face time or Skype. I told “her” I wasn’t clicking the link and then our messages disappeared. I tried to report the account but it wouldn’t let me. So be careful on these apps the scammers have infiltrated them.

But I’ve been swiping right a lot. So I should swipe left to get me higher on this list? Also I wonder how many of these accounts that are inactive now because the chick is in a relationship.

Hinge will block you before Bumble & Tinder doesn't give af.

I don't really do much to get block other than getting drunk on rare occasions and straight  up asking girls if they wanna fuck (this should be okay in my mind) its a fucking  online dating app. The whole point is to fuck. Why not be honest?

Hinge does not like this.

& Bumble  is bi polar wit it

Tender  is what you expect but I get 10:1 maybe 20:1

Bumble over Tender matches

I feel like a lot of the tinder and bumble profiles are old and the chicks aren’t on the app anymore.

Maybe with Tender deff  but I feel the opposite  with Bumble.

I lost close to 80 lbs road a bike 20k miles then updated profile  pics that helped so much  with Bumble but Tender is dead as a rock 

I have had 3 or 4 bumble dates in CO, 2 were very amazing girls, 2 not so much, 1 was from Happen a hood girl  from  Chicago  i got robbed pretty much go figure

It was the 4th of July and I got drunk on Patron and she took full advantage  of it.

I jumped out of her car at a red light to run away from here and she jumped out too and lied  to other pedestrian  to try and get me jumped.

My life is insane

My best bumble date was this Cali girl who lived in Sweden  and the Philippines but of course  I fucked that up by the 3rd date bc I'm really good at fucking  things  up, followed by this sexy scientist  from TX that I met in Denver but the cards I was dealt was weak for the game I was playing.

The only girl I've banged on tinder had a happy trail but I kinda was into it lol.  I was expecting to pull her shorts off and see a wang but turns out she's just hairy

I had fun with tinder, met a few cool chicks on there and had a whole lot of awkward conversations.  I recommend it if you dont wanna take dating seriously for a while.

Bumble seemed goofy though but maybe I just didnt understand it.  It seemed too G rated

When we constantly pull things apart trying to see how it works, we may end up with only an understanding of how to destroy something

Yea I think those apps might be done with their golden days. I bet there is a app that is up and coming that we haven’t gotten hip to.
