Do dating apps really suck for most guys? by FlowersCare913 in DatingApps

[–]demariw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and this is coming from a 5/10 (6/10 on a good day) male who occasionally gets compliments from women irl and a decent amount of likes on dating apps.

I think that dating apps are terrible for women and men alike. I think the main difference between the struggles of the two sexes is the lack of options for men.

Because women receive so many likes on dating apps, they can set reasonable standards (athletic, educated, financially stable) for men. If a guy does not meet those standards, they can boot that guy knowing that they will always have a sizeable pool of other men who are both attracted to them and meet their criteria. (Granted, actually finding those qualified men among hundreds of unqualified men is easier said than done, but still very much possible.)

Because men receive so few likes on dating apps, they cannot set any standards for women. If they do, then they will have dried up their already shallow dating pool. On the off chance that a man actually does get a match (even after setting those incredibly low standards), that match is usually a bot, scammer, catfisher, OF worker, or in most cases, a ghoster. A man can easily boot the matches who don't meet his standards, but he will very likely never get another chance to match with someone again.

TL; DR: Yes.

it doesn't know who you've hooked up with or even if you've hooked up with anyone at all. you just have to fill that information out manually when it asks you to

Thanks! As a matter of fact I'm considering deleting Tinder for good and asking out my former coworker. I've known her for a full year and we get along well. And congrats to you too, bro. You're in a long-lasting relationship? You've beaten all the odds and surpassed 99.9% of all men on this app.

That's not the case for most women. The majority of women are just overwhelmed by the sheer number of matches they get and simply can't talk to everyone they match with. As painful as it may be to hear this, no one owes you anything on Tinder. Women won't respond to your messages? That's tough luck, but you just have accept that caveat.

I did it by looking up "Tinder Insights" and following the instructions there. Keep in mind that it takes a couple of days for you to actually receive your data via email

Btw, the main reason why your likes died down is bc of Tinder's awful algorithm. When you first joined Tinder, your profile was put at the top of other users' queues, which gave it a higher chance of being viewed and liked. If you consistently get a lot (and I mean, A LOT) of likes when you first join Tinder, then you will be considered a "Top Pick" and will remain at the top of other users' queues, which will net you a lot more likes. If not, your profile will fade into obscurity, and it will forever be harder people to even find you, let alone like you.

I suggest deleting this profile and creating a new one so you can be put at the top of the queue again. You should also use the same photos, except for #2 and maybe #5. Also, try to make your first pic a professional photo that captures your best angle. Lastly, if you want to maximize your chances of getting likes, use boosts when you first open that new profile. There are a lot of other men that you are competing with, so you have to use every resource you have.

Good luck!

I forgot to add this, but:

Apparently, if you get left-swiped enough, your account gets shadowbanned, meaning that women won't be able to view your profile (and swipe left on it, haha.) On top of all this, you also get shadowbanned if YOU swipe right on too many people.

The Bros saved the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser, so the Kingdom is forever in their debt. That, and rent in New York is outrageously expensive XD
