In my 20s before dating apps, I would be single for a long time, meet a woman (usually through friends), date and sometimes it would proceed to a relationship.

Divorced in my late 30s, I matched with women all the time, was never without a date if I wanted one and had regular sex with attractive women (certainly more frequently than the 1-2 times a week of married life).


Ew. This is why women don’t use the aps
Three years later and I’m in a great relationship that began through one of the apps. Zero complaints here.

Ask any guy on the apps. You get a match, she’s juggling at least five other guys, she’s constantly looking for a better deal, eventually she ghosts you. Waste of time.

Which app do you work for?

Most of the women I know are falling out of love with the idea of dating men. There are too many men who will show you their genitals or ask for sexual gratification in the first 5 messages on dating apps. Eww.

If you want a hookup, maybe apps could be functional. But very few women want to risk STIs and pregnancy for a casual hookup with "some guy from an app" when reliable toys are easy to access.

Men who want relationships have to learn how to cultivate them. Apps are a hindrance here, not a help. Anyone who was in love with apps in the first place was probably only after messy, likely intoxicant-fueled, casual flings. Way too much liability, IMO.

I think that's sort of true sort of not. I agree the best looking people will be swamped with responses but you can do well if you're looking in the middle of the range.

It's poor form to include a linked article that is paywalled. Use a gift link so people can actually see what you are posting about.

Most likely answer is that they raised their prices to prohibitive levels.

Adult DD had shared that she no longer uses them after declaring that half of the guys just seem weird and the other half still has the college hook up mentality.

Dating apps can cast a wide net but can catch too many dead fish. After awhile you quit and just hope you can meet someone organically. This holds true for men and women.

It seems that a growing number of men as are not very active on the dating scene. I am not sure why. They are also having less sex. I am not sure why either. Perhaps women don't want to date as well.

Are these services free for women?
