One reason is the amount of chatting for a meagre return and another is that the majority on dating apps are in Dublin (naturally as it's the most densley populated part of the country), and I'm ages away from 'Dooublan'. There's only every about five 'wans' online at anyone time in my area, so not much to choose from ha. What are your thoughts or dating apps or what what's been your experience with them? Positive? Negative? A mxied bag?

There is a post on this thread (could be a joke but didn't come across like that) who said that online dating gave them countless first dates but no second ones. That isn't the fault of dating apps. In the past week or so I have come across the craziest people on tinder that would fill a screenplay but I have also met and gone on dates with absolute legends. It is what it is... Same as a bar or any other place people meet. No point tarring dating apps as the waiting room of hell. It's good bad and everything in between.

To your point about worrying about letting someone down, at the end of the day if that happens then they weren't for you. That is no one's fault. I am serious that you more than likely rock... Being shy or awkward or true to yourself will be endearing to the vast majority of people.
When I'm on a date I'm very confident, can hold good conversation getting to know someone and maintain the right level of eye contact. I think there is an "ego culture" associated with dating apps. Its very hard tp get someone to agree to go out at times. Certainly finding them a lot more difficult here than when I was in Oz.

MrFaul wrote: » Ye if there's something that I've found disappointing about Ireland is the women. I often find Irish women to be egotisical, have a bad attitude and sometimes act more like men. Besides that, I find them to be generic: make up, hi heels, bubble gum talk... Now you've got feminist b.s. around. Of course not all the women here are all like that, of course not, just a good portion of them haha. The ones who are different, more individualistic are hardered to come across. For example when do you ever comes across an Irish female whose ladylike or elegant? It's very rare I tell you haha

Basically you need one nice photo and the ability to present yourself as a normal person. I'm not really really good looking or anything like that.
