Online dating in Ireland

Hows the form lads?

Just wondering what experiences people have been having with online dating in Ireland.

Mostly been using tinder this past while.

Personally I find it a bit ****e, half the girls have near enough the same bio's that tell me absolutely nothing that makes them seem unique.

I've had a few matches and the conversations just die out pretty quickly from both sides, either I lose interest or they do.

How is everyone else fairing? Any other good options apart from tinder?

The aul Aertel dating is the best of the lot.

Funding was pulled in favour of giving the higher-ups a coke binge.

There's one app for metal workers called Angle Grindr.

Like that steel mill in the simpsons...

Recently single and a little afraid to dip my toe into online. Popcorn out to see reviews of online. Scary out there

I bought a 2000 euro sex doll.

No need for tinder now.

dating in real life is far better for men and women, women online are flooded with dick pics they dont want. men say hello to 99% of the women online only to be ignored by women you would be trying to get away from on a night out as there are far more men signed up.

The trick to online dating is to stay the **** away from it. Meet a real person in real life.

Sadly in real life both men and women are not willing to put their fooking phone down and have a real conversation with a stranger

some are. i travelled a lot by train say from 2004-2014 and id nearly always end up chatting strangers sitting beside me, young, old, women men etc then the last few years i noticed that everyone is glued to their phone, laptop, tablet on train and busses and its very rare to see strangers chatting on trains and busses now.

then i was travelling by train during the summer, this good looking woman got on and sat beside me,she was listening to music from her phone, so i asked her a question just to get chatting, we talked for the next 2 hours, had a great laugh. so now im convinced that its not that people don't want to talk to strangers these days, they just think that everyone else doesn't want to talk so they dont try and instead burry their heads in the phones.
