Anyone else fed up of dating apps?

MrFaul

I've been on and off dating apps the past few years and pretty much sick of them at this stage. 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?

Just deleted it. **** it. For me Bumble is 10x better anyway. The women seem more genuine.

Isn't that just for women to contact men, a guy can't contact a lady.. That is even worse I'd imagine. All based on looks.

I think its better. It saves you messaging loads of women that aren't going to reply.

It's tough out there. In the past 24 hours on pof I've gotten one unwanted photo, one conversation initiated by him with 2 word replies to my questions of trying to get to know him better and one offer to buy me clothes for my next date with someone in my league. His words not mine. And several other weird messages. Some people expect you to have your phone in your hand 24/7 or you get an abusive message. One potential date though, we'll see.
On tinder also, which is better in the sense you have to match to message but its still very difficult to get more than a few word reply. And I'd talk the legs off a donkey I ask questions. What's the point if you're not trying to get to know each other.
I'm sure its equally difficult for men, maybe you guys have the same problems. Rant over

lot similar but i found POF to be more filled with spam accounts and pickier than other...got more dates off tinder and bumble(bumbles problem is theres a lack of a distance filter -im down in cork but i keep getting matches up in Galway/Donegal)

Bumble added a distance filter about a month ago.

I think we have the opposite problems.

Lots of messages sent with very few replies even if you keep it relevant and polite.

I'm a right divel, when I smell a rat or someone who's just plain full of ****.

I tell them I've most of my life in order, all that's missing is someone to share good times with...

What can you bring to my life that might not be there already ?

They usually bolt or tell me I'm a knob lol

Some of them expect some grand elaborate opener... Meanwhile a simple hello will suffice for a man

I seen some of those headlines looking for an elaborate opening line....

you wouldn't meet a friend and think, hold on I'll have to impress this person now.

imagine dealing with someone who's looking for someone who's exceptionally sharp with an opening line... goes down hill after that lol

No, I know you're not. Just curious as to how you felt that the narrative was that we will go for any woman we see.

Guys on this thread saying it.

I thought Bumble was just for the B’s? Turns out it’s all C’s and D’s.

The hi/hello messages don't bother me. If I like your profile and location is somewhat close, I'll reply. But literally answering questions with one/two words is painful. And the "You?" replies get boring very quickly.

I think they should make an app that involves no messages at all. Just swipe and meet.

I've lost count of the amount of profiles I've seen with "if we match don't message Hi" "if we match you message first"

And here's me thinking we were in the age of equality...

When a man talks dirty to a woman its sexual harassment. When a woman talks dirty to a man its £2.99 a minute.

Do any other guys literally never match with a woman they really want to match with?

If you want to pay for it, fair enough 45p is pretty cheap

Does anyone go for those international dating sites. I went on an Asian one lately and can't stop chatting women up on it. Great action all together.

I'm not sure. I mean I sometimes match with a girl who looks great in the first few photos but then looks dreadful in the rest so I can't make my mind up. Or sometimes I match with a girl who could be attractive but they have silly filters with dogs ears and glasses. Theses wouldn't be young girls either.

Happened me twice last year. Took a few months break after it. Such a waste of a Saturday night.

BorneTobyWilde

If it was me I'd create a dating app call Stuck On You , when two people message and reply, then you are now '' Stuck On You'' , and it takes 20 messages each, back and forward to break the '' Stuck '' and each message needs to be 10 lines at least.
That would get people talking at least.
