[quote=Anonymous]Dating apps rely on paid subscriptions from men to survive.  If they are failing, or their numbers are down it's because men have learned that dating apps can really suck.

For example, Bumble chose to market their app as one where women make the first move.  Sounds good in theory, to women.  You don't get 100s of messages from men.  You get to choose who you talk to.  But then Bumble learned what us men all know. Women on dating sites are lazy AF and horrible at making the first move or even writing a complete sentence if they do.

Women may complain about all the messages they get but, especially from really crude men but they still won't put in the work to look around and actually find a guy who looks interesting and write to him.  They'd rather sort through the messages.

So Bumble had to add "features" to their site where men-who paid-could "send a compliment."  In other words, make the first move.  It's still not working for them and Bumble is actually one of the better dating sites.

The site is much better to navigate than most of the others which all seem to be run by the same parent company on code written decades ago.  Bumble does a good job of eliminating scammers where sites like POF or Tinder seem to rely on the users to weed them out.

That said, for most men, dating sites can really be a waste of time.  I can write a nice message to ten different women and when I look at it a week later, maybe 7 messages have not even been read and less than 1 in 20 messages will get an actual response.  So no, I'm not paying for that.

I do much better getting out and socializing and meeting people in person and through friends the old fashioned way.

I'm sure dating sites are great for women.  I've talked to a lot of women from dating sites and they will all say they got 100s of messages the first week of joining so yeah, I get why my message goes unread or unanswered.  They don't even need to bother paying for the features that come with a paid subscription.  Why bother with that kind of response?

Again, it's men who pay for dating sites and the old days are gone.  Dating sites were much better a few decades ago but they have not changed enough with the times.  [/quote]
