Men couldn't be bothered. That's the short and sweet of it. They've been told repeatedly they're worthless by women who have exaggerated senses of their own value and unrealistic standards. So, they're over it.
The TikTok is actually filled with content about this.

It definitely makes sense for the under 40 crowd with no kids, but I think for the over 40 crowd and single parents I can see the appeal of the apps.
I do feel bad for all the divorced mid-forties dads on DCUM who say the dating apps make meeting women in their 20s easier lol. It looks like the trends are going to make that harder moving forward so get them while you can.
ppfff...I still see women in their late 20's and get dates a lot. No problem for me. If it isn't' there it's the gym. Either way stay mad you're still getting rejected. I'm not, I'm having a field day.
Wow… Way to project. Been with my husband for 25 years so not on apps or looking but you do you.

Both are terrible apps is why. No features, no real search ability, endless swiping clickbate, and tons of foreign scammers or undesirables.

Men and women are going to give you different reasons, but the bottom line is apps depersonalize meeting people and dating. It turns it into a numbers game.

LOL...they did speed dating in DC recently and my female friends complained. Guys didn't go it was like three guys and about 40 women. Those meetups are the same way too. Most have all women and no guys.
Guys have decided dating isn't worth it.

I always did well on dating apps. I'm a good looking guy. But I grew tired of the cumbersome BS.
In any case it doesn't matter, most guys have decided dating isn't worth it. In fact most have decided marriage isn't worth it either so they've opted out.

[quote=Anonymous]I don’t like apps because men are total pigs there (even well respected professionals) and try to drag me into bed after 1at dinner date
They all are very promiscuous there and it’s repulsive [/quote]
Can we please stop this? Not every man is like that. And perhaps it is self-selection. The men who are on dating apps are more inclined to exhibit this type of behavior.

I don't love apps but they are good at allowing me to meet women I would never be able to meet on my own. Some women I meet feel the same way. This leads to a problem, which is that it is easy to find a replacement person to date quickly.

Anonymous wrote: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.
How did this become a thing??? Do most men really think women want to get this kind of picture from a person they barely know. I wouldn't even find it a turn on from my husband, would just wonder what the heck is wrong with him.

The apps are bad for women as well because it gives them an illusion of endless choice.

This is very true. It's like talking to a kid with no attention span. I used to like the apps and have met people from them but it's a real soul sucker. So much effort for very little return. I finally learned, I just need to get out there and socialize, meet people in person.Anonymous wrote: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.

All dating apps are free for women but things like, seeing that someone liked her, or being able to make the first move (which women never do anyway) require payment by her.Anonymous wrote:Are these services free for women?
