Anyone else refuse to use dating apps?

The concept of hooking up with people on looks alone just seems so demeaning. Why are people so willing to reduce themselves like this?

They have no dignity, and I say this as a person who used to masturbate on cam.

Oof. What made you change your perspective on sexuality/dating?

i tried tinder for like 3 days before deleting it, didn't match with anyone. tried okcupid for like a week and the only girl i liked in my area had not logged in for like 4 months. it's a joke and i'm done

Realized that somebody could eventually recognize me, and that I was degrading myself for compliments.
I do not want to do that anymore.

>Be me
>Open tinder account
>Get real good avatar picture
>Get matches, and stray likes

>You write to these women who approach you
>And you ask them for their numbers.
>And after 30 women ghost you
>You complain to your chad friend (assuming you have a chad friend)
>Assuming you have any friends at all
>Be me, complain to chad friend ''Man all these women are ghosting me''
>''well, you gotta court them before you can prompt them to decide to give their numbers to you
>''You can't just ask her for her number; a long and interesting conversation has to take place before she can trust you
>Try and spark quality conversations on tinder with 18-25 y/o women (i don't know why older women don't use tinder)
>Women usually reply with 1-3 sentences.
>Not enough for me to reply to the reply
>Be forced to pull back
>Start the conversation a new 3-6 days later
>Hope it goes somewhere
>Keep this up with 4 women at the same time
>Conversations won't go anywhere
>Never get asked any questions
>Can't simp out and chat too much because then I look desperate
>At the same time I can't build enough rapport to get any number

Considering getting a goat. Uncastrated nanny goat. And giving up on women entirely.

myself making a dating account is basically equivalent to willingly making a cringey tik tok in my eyes. its actually unthinkable, my own self opinion is so low i cant even talk to girls and I have to live with that combined with the knowledge that no body will ever feel sorry for me.

Turn off your fucking Bluetooth.

I spent years thinking online dating was degenerate and humiliating. After feeling especially lonely, I ended up making an account on both OkCupid and Tinder.

Tinder was horrible. Literal escorts have better profiles than these thots. They don't even write anything about themselves.

On OkCupid I get a few likes but only one match. The girl wasn't even from my content so it was meaningless. Anyway, it did give me a tiny confidence boost.

If you're not totally irredeemable it's worth a shot.

I'd say you have to be at least a 7/10 and decent at making online conversation.

I don't know, you can meet different kinds of people on there. I met my gf on tinder

>be me
>25 virgin (kissed, but both drunk so don't really count it)
>never talked to girls, too anxious and scared
>wake up one day and I have sudden urge to really try
>download tinder
>matched with few girls, most either stop replying or never do in the first place
>the few that I do get dates with, I don't get seconds with
>find one girl that is also into nerdy shit
>overweight and black, but I don't really mind either as I would at least know what to talk to her about
>start hitting it off
>go out on first date
>go out on second just a day or so later
>couple of weeks go by and we're going out
>got head, ate her out, and had sex all for the first time
>few days go by to today
>she invites me over to watch a movie
>she makes me nachos and gives me my b-day present a little over a month ahead of time
>it's a pen with my name engraved in it (I've been recently talking about how I've started collecting and using pens)
>that realization when you have someone who cares for you and actually got you a gift that shows they listen to you

What was your profile like and how attractive would you say you are?

why do you care?
probably because it's a part of yourself you're not comfortable with
i.e. you're projecting

You're friend is right though. What usually happened with me was I asked them out for a date, and then they would usually, but if they were slow to reply then I would ask for a number so it's easier to communicate trying to get to the meet-up. I don't know how long you were waiting, but I usually talked to girls for about 3-4 days before asking for a date. And talking to them for a bit, stopping, and waiting 3-6 days can make you seem like you're uninterested. "If he was interested in me, why isn't he texting me?" Although that's assuming that they're interested in you. A good way to tell typically is if they're actually asking shit about you, and it's not just a one sided interview essentially. The worst ones are the ones that you're describing and don't give you much to work with.

I was pretty honest. I said that I'm a nerd and that I like to play PC and board games (figured there's no point in not mentioning it and then finding out that the other person can't stand it or something). But there was other stuff too, like education and work and what not. But not like it matters since it seemed like no one ever read it, because people always asked me shit that was in my profile. My gf was the only person who ever pointed something out in one of my pictures. And I'm not very confident in myself, but I would say like maybe a 5 or so.

I just use them to meet people. It's a perfect app for loners like me. I have no friends to introduce me to girls and I have no balls to walk up to someone in real life. These dating apps let you talk to someone who already saw you and thought they'd want to talk to you too. It completely breaks the ice for me and I can actually develop the shallow connection into something meaningful over time. That said, I am missing out on a large portion of really cool chicks who wouldn't bring themselves to use apps like these, but it's the best I can do at the moment. Gaining experience with hookups or fwb or practice girlfriends has been useful. There's even one girl I'm just friends with and it's been great having someone feminine who clicks with my sense of humour and general interests.

>3 days
Shit man, I don't think I got one until like a week or so. And that was after I paid for 1 month premium because I was so desperate. Which is a decent option, in my opinion. It's nice to see when someone likes you and you can decide to match with them or not

No matter how lonely I get I will never use a dating site.
My ex fucked me over pretty badly, to be point where I've only got laid once in 4 years and I really, really, really don't care... I have no interest in sex or finding love anymore.

It's the last glimmer of hope I have for losing my virginity.
So far the apps have been fruitless.

It might sound wierd but I would rather talk to someone in real life than risk what could happen through a dating app

What could happen through an app that couldn't happen irl?

I mean you don't have to use them that way though

Not my screenshot. I hate having a million notifications and excess background connections too.
I'm not petitioning to ban tinder or some shit. I just don't understand why so few people take my stance on dating apps (like, a hundred to one). It seems like an insult to my personality/intelligence to submit myself to this mass game of smash or pass.

You'd be singing a different tune if you were attractive, you cringey sperg

Why connect so spiritually with someone you don't even know?
