They will only make your self-esteem worse if you're an average looking male. It still messes with my head that I put myself out there on the app like we're told to, took nice pictures and almost every woman on the apps within 100 miles of me said "no".
yes thats right .. even the fat girls are demanding on those apps.. beacuse there are so much more number of males «gets to a point that they put like to all girls even the ugly so they have many matches and lots of guys messaging. inside the app they think they are very hot but when moving outside rarely they get a working relationship .. i hate tinder and similar . app tricks u to earn money especially the guys.

likes, matches, dates or hookups from matches
i do very well. i get a lot of matches, but most of the time people can't keep a conversation. most recent experience made me super sad. we went on like five dates, knew each other for two months. i fell hard, was the first time i opened up in around two years. eventually, he lost interest. he led me on for like 3 weeks, telling me he would see me some day or that we'll find the right time for us. he just told me a couple days ago that he's not interested in seeing me, and he's felt that way for a while, even though he was telling me we'll find the right time. he even texted me good morning a handful of times. this sucks. im gonna try again but i doubt it's worth it.

I do okay on them but I've got far too much baggage to enter a serious relationship with anyone

One thing that shocked me a bit was seeing a video of a slightly above average woman using a dating app.

She swiped on profiles just as much as I did, perhaps more, but I realised the main "suggested" section, she just spent lots of time swiping left or right on the huge number of profiles that had liked her! The way she used the app was a completely different universe to how I used it.

I've had like five of them on my phone for the past year or two lmao. The only purpose being to remind me there's nothing for me out there. I have been single for almost a decade and accepted long time ago that I will die alone XD.

Most people on those app can't even hold a decent conversation. Lots of boring people that only want to engage in small talk. And in my experience about 95% of the people are only looking for penpals lol.

The men I did meet in person all but one had stinky breath - not sure what the deal is with that; I am beginning to think I am the problem, do I have a very sensitive nose lmao?

Not good. Been on them for about a year. Very few matches, fewer messages, only went on one date where the person ghosted me a couple months later. It's pretty disappointing, but not surprising.

They ruin my mental health, I get matches occasionally, never any likes when I'm inactive. I tried Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder for a few months. Never got to a date from any of them, just a few numbers or convos that leads to the conversation just ending eventually.

I'm not built to use them, I fold to limerence like none other. Someone in an earlier post is spot on, they need like a preceding disclaimer because it takes a certain type of individual to not fall into jadedness.

Lots of likes and conversations, few dates. I'm tired of all the smalltalk and penpal crap so I've started just sending people voice messages after 2-3 messages just asking if they want to hang out. I think it works better.

It's hit or miss with me. I've had some success on them over the years. Had a few FWB type situations from them, had a few hookups, and a couple short term relationships. But also had allot of rejection, and long periods between the above mentioned success stories

I've gotten matches and had some conversations that died out before any real friendship was formed. Otherwise no luck at all with Tinder and Bumble. I've had more luck on Reddit, tbh.

I don't even use social media, much less dating apps. I'm not looking for a relationship, I'm not looking for hookups or fwbs, and I don't find it fulfilling to make plans and spend time with complete strangers. I would be perfectly content just making normal friends.

I'm a guy and some dating app I have used. I found that to be successful you have to have a good body, good physical appearance and have social skills.

I have had some success but I found out that there are different concepts of love. The other person may love you, but that doesn't mean that love is good or good enough for you.

I haven't used dating apps for a long time because I realized that since I wasn't good with myself it's hard for people to treat you well. I mean, if I don't love myself, others won't love me either and even contribute to sink your self-esteem more.

I told myself that when I was okay, then I would be open but now I know that I don't think I will ever get better.
Love is reserved for those who are well, in my opinion.

Literally, dating apps are the reason I want to end my life. I was never very good with girls, which I mainly attribute to having prey eyes and the fact that when I talk, my personality becomes very hyperactive, and I raise my voice like Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony. I used to think it was normal to have trouble making friends, finding a partner, or getting any kind of human affection—it was just part of life. But when I discovered dating apps, that's when I was awakened to reality. The first truth is that I'm not attractive, the second is that physical attractiveness is all that matters if you're a man, and the third is that women can have all the friendship, love, and sex they want. Someone might immediately jump in to respond that none of these three statements are true, and if you want, we can debate it privately (though I don't know how to send messages here yet x_X) since I'd be delighted for someone to prove me wrong (you'd literally be saving a life—my life). But believe me, I've done, seen, and read countless experiments that led me to those three conclusions.

Anyway, going back to the thread's topic—after all my farming on dating apps like Tinder, I only got one date, which literally pushed me further into the abyss. It was with a girl two years older than me, and through her, I saw firsthand everything the internet says about women having objectively easier lives than their male counterparts. She was, at that time (and still is), the least empathetic person I've ever met. She liked joining WhatsApp groups and telling men there to kill themselves—she did it purely for fun. She watched snuff videos and was one of those people who never apologize. Every time I failed at trying to date girls, I thought maybe it was my personality or just a long list of reasons. But she didn't meet any of those criteria, yet when she showed me her phone, I saw literally 250 unread messages from guys writing to her and asking her out. You're probably thinking, "It's because she's pretty," but no, she was a short girl, overweight, with no breasts or butt to speak of. I hope that doesn't sound derogatory since I don't want to promote a world that demeans people for their appearance, but when people talk about women having it easy, many say, "It's only for the pretty ones." But she didn't fit into any major beauty standards.

Anyway, she wasn't attractive, had a terrible personality, and literally demanded that I pay for everything on the date, yet there she was, with hundreds of people wanting to date her, pay for her, and sleep with her. Meanwhile, back then, I was rotting in loneliness, desperately trying to find someone to talk to, crying every night because the loneliness was unbearable, and unable to find anyone. People would just tell me to work on my personality, dress well, be funny, etc., etc. I tried doing all that, and nothing—not only nothing, but I was treated poorly. On the other hand, she, with a terrible personality, no care for her appearance, and 0 charisma or charm (she was glued to her phone the entire date), received tons of affection and support. After the date we had in the afternoon, she literally went to another date with another guy that night for dinner, and she even asked him to buy her morning-after pills since there were issues with the condom when she and I had sex. I hope I didn't write my ideas too messily here. She was my first time, and honestly, I only did it because I was planning to kill myself soon, and I didn't want to die a virgin. But it ended up being a terrible idea because, for the following months, I was tormented by the thought that the morning-after pill might have failed, and we'd have a child together. I knew that if I had a child, I definitely couldn't kill myself. Fortunately, months passed, and nothing happened, although almost a year later, she did get pregnant by another guy and had to get an abortion.

Anyway, I apologize if in my recent posts on this forum I sound too intense—I don't like feeling this way. It's just that I'm very emotional, and I've only just decided to participate in this community because I know no one out there in the real world understands me, and the people on incel forums are too violent and consumed by anger. I just want to find more people like me, people who could perfectly identify themselves as incels but don't have thoughts of harming others. Just sinking into the sadness of knowing that, like in the animal kingdom, you're one of those non-alpha lions who just wander alone until they die of hunger and loneliness.

I've done so well that I currently have a partner and I am happy. Sorry, I got carried away with my thoughts. That would only happen in a parallel world. it's not real. (hahaha)

When I was using an app, there was always someone who would talk to me and when I would meet someone, they would almost always say you are better looking in person than in pictures (I hate pictures, I never liked them). Despite that, people are only looking for sex and for sex alone it's better not to have sex (at least for me). It seems that there is a ranking in the app so that those who have sex the most are the best, and I pass. As my grandmother used to say, what you give for free, is not valued but undervalued.

Then I stopped using the app because I realized that there would never be anything for me in those apps.
I started quite late my first time was with 30. I had experiences and traumas in my childhood and adolescence. I feel dirty (I don't know if this word is suitable for English), used and I don't enjoy it.

So I left the apps because they weren't worth it. Anyway, now I don't care because I have no future. The only future for me is to say goodbye
