What's the least sucky dating app/site to use (as a 20-something NEET with no social skills)?

besides the obvious honeypot (duolicious)

no, theres events and groups you can go to that are meant to be social, society has become really unwilling to meet people randomly on the street
looking up stuff in your area is a good idea, even if only to make friends, meeting a partner through a friend group is the best way to go about it imo

K, will try to get out of my shell and try some local events. TY for the advice.

You need to use the one with actual market share in your region otherwise you're paying for access to virtually no dates. Just look up which has the most users in your country. If I'm not mistaken, Tinder and Facebook dating are free, so it costs you nothing but your pride to use them.

The other big one in the US is Bumble I think. Bumble is one of those apps that has a special procedure which favors women, hoping to create an overall better experience that results in more relationships. Dunno how well it works and you have to pay, I think.

There are some niche ones that don't apply to most people's purposes and I don't want to name drop it around cretins.

>>31227221
>Tinder dating is free
lol
>>
>>31227221
OP here, yeah I'm in the US. Haven't used Bumble in years but I'm gonna try again soon. Hopefully it isn't monetized to shit now. Used to be on OKCupid too but it felt like a lot of effort, like people would have 2 page long resumes on their profile and I didn't do that.

If by "niche ones" you mean Seeking Arrangements, I'm not there yet financially. Although I did see a girl bragging about her 70$ date w a sugar daddy so who knows.

Anon I've found myself in a tough situation...
I have a good job, all the possibilities in the world to create a good life for myself but I just can't be arsed. I must be clinically depressed but I couldn't care less to go get checked. The magic of life has run through my fingers long ago. There are some problems within the family, self hate and self seething. Terrible siblings that wants to see me dead. I'm ugly, my entire family is, both inside and out.

Every single time I paint a picture in my head of things I could do for the future I instantly get met by "What does it matter in the end? fk it" and I don't pursue anything. I feel like my time here is limited. In my mid 30s. I feel nothing. I look at other people and wonder what the fuck is going on. What drives them. I simply don't get it and I know what's coming for me because this cannot sustain for much longer, and that's fine.

Anyone recognize themselves? Any advice?
This life is weird and I could do without it

There are anons who post here every day asking for advice but what they really want to hear is vindication for their own mistakes and misery, not that things can be better. Do you want to change and feel different? If the answer is anything other than an emphatic yes then the bast advice in the world won't help you because you prefer your visions of doom rather than visions of prosperity.

>>31224857
Specific parts of the family, yes. Some are okay but the worst part is our horrible genetics. I will never be able to come to terms with it and it hits you like a truck when you realize one day that you are that ugly fucker of the group. I now realize why I never got female attention. I thought they all used to be stupid, not knowing I was the problem. This has been the toughest part. I am getting older and it will only get worse.

>>31224994
I guess you're somewhat right. Honestly I don't see myself getting better, it's almost decided. I am so empty. It is soothing in a way though to finally know the timer is coming to an end in due time.

my brother has become a white supremacist over the years and i am tired of dealing with him in any way. you can barely talk to him anymore about anything without him making it political. e.g. i would suggest we watch some shitty movie (rebel moon) for fun and he says that he cant watch anything where white people are portrayed in a bad way. the white people he talks about are literally space nazis. this escalates to him saying that i just gobble up whatever "mr. goldstein's" propaganda machine feeds me.

it's like most interactions with him are unpleasant, he mostly reacts negatively towards anything. he would constantly bring up politics, especially jews and trump and woke culture and trans people and lqbtqi+ people. he acts like i am some stereotype of a liberal just because i dont tolerate his bigotry. not too mention that he actually dated a guy a few years ago and now completely rejects that part of himself.

i have tried on several occassions to break off all contact to him but then eventually we would have to have at least some contact because we are still visiting our parents together and stuff and it ended every single time with him being all whiney about how i make it difficult for him to contact me, how it inconveniences him, and how i should add him on a messenger app. i did eventually add him on the condition that he acts nice towards me and stops sending me political youtube links or memes and stops talking about politics. he agreed. that was a few months ago.

today i told him that if he doesnt stop spewing this culture war bullshit i will break off contact to him again. his answer was to accuse me of my ego being hurt.

for those in similiar situations: how do you deal with this bullshit?

Rehabilitation programs are a myth created by delusional nerds like yourself. Just look at the murderous and raping shitskins in Western Europe. Once they served their short jail time they’ll go back into being a degenerate criminal because there is no real consequence for their actions. I think you’re just a trolling Redditor at this point.

I just want to stop finding femboys attractive guys, I just wanna to move past this and forget about it for the rest of my life but I can't shake the porn habit. I'm only romantically attracted to girls but femboy porn turns me on more than anything else.
I tried femdom, femboy pegging and such but it doesn't give me the same high even though it's more wholesome and attainable with my goals. I think it's forbidden fruit. Do I just have to stop thinking about sex for the rest of my life or what?
I don't even care if I'm bisexual, I'm past self hate, I just want to put this in my rearview mirror but I just keep falling back.

I honestly am starting to think that being mentally ill (depression, OCD, anxiety, BPD) or being autistic/adhd is worse for you if you want to have sex or a gf,
than if you were 3/10 face-wise, 5'4", had bad skin, crooked yellow teeth but were socially dynamic, good in looking in the eyes, holding conversations etc.
The stats I read about say 80% of autistic men are sexless, pic somewhat related. Is there a workaround for this problem or is it basically over?

>How do is expel the constant doomsaying and pessimism though?
Get off any social media sites. That shit is meant to make you think negatively about life. Of course, if every other thread on 4chan talks about how mean women or people generally are, how badly they want your money (which is arguably kind of true) and how much life just sucks because of this or that manufactured controversy, then all you will ever feel is pessimism.

Get with the flow. Interact with people by entering a conversation on their conditions, by talking about their interests, their life etc. More importantly: Don't expect these people to turn into friends. They're not. People you work with, for example, aren't your friends, yet you should still be on friendly terms with them. Just because you're frustrated with them, that doesn't give you a free pass to ignore them, speak sternly to them etc. That shit is 1. obvious and 2. does not come across as either mature or appropriate if you don't happen to be the CEO where you're allowed to act like an asshole (in my experience).

If you're concerned about creeping out people, remember that by not initiating social interaction, not showing pro-social conduct, not talking to or looking at people when you're standing right next to them, you will creep them out. With girlfriends, it (kind of) works similarly, except if you belong to the faction which believes in unconditional love (and I don't believe in that). Shit ton of people I know have girlfriends who cheated on them, who are verbally and sometimes physically abusive etc.

>>
>>31226521
Libido mismatch is always going to increase the chance of cuckery.
>>
it can work as long as she understands that you have low libido and accepts you the way you are without wanting you to be different. you have to make sure that she REALLY knows what she's signing up for. also, don't force yourself to have sex, don't put pressure on yourself to match up to her, don't waste energy trying to be something you're not.

Hilariously, you're probably less likely to be cucked.

Ghosting, friendzoning, flaking, being emotionally unavailable, having zero interest in me or relationships in general.
This is my experience for years now, using tinder and badoo and meeting over 60 women (mostly just 1 or 2 dates).
Only 2 gfs that I had and met online were met in 2012. Since then I only had 1 gf and I met her by cold approach (we broke up last december).

Is it me, is it the general population being this trash or women who are online? And it's not like I'm only going for one type of women.
I tried with tall, short, younger, older, shy, outgoing, literally all flavours and the results are the same.
I was being the same way I am now with my exes and they all were happy to at least start a relationship with me.

WHAT'S WRONG? I literally don't know how men who look worse than me or have shittier/boring personality get sex or relationships nowadays.

I'll just throw in my own experience, which of course is limited but...

Since about 2015 I was talking a lot on a therapy website to random people of both genders (but primarily women) from around the world and most of them were pretty awesome to talk to, including American women, etc.

However around 2019-2020 something seemed to shift, maybe to some degree this was personal, but there's definitely a very real objective component where I'd find people 'disappearing' during a conversation, trailing off in interest, or literally being unable to even START the conversation going in the first place. I really think something major shifted around then, and I've talked to plenty of other people online since then who sort of agree that people are harder to "connect with" online now.

I think there's sort of a massive "generalised population-wide ADHD" going on, think about all the dopamine all of us waste daily on highly colourful screens. So it's harder to connect, people are less 'solid'.

Also in my experience dating sites and so on where women get TONNES of attention tend to develop this "ghosting" as normalised culture simply because of the amount of attention they get... create a female account on one of your dating apps and just see what it's like, it's insane.

Do you have a job already? You can probably live alone on as little as around $32,000 yearly, but it doesn't leave a lot of other things.
I moved out on my own when I was making $16/hr, but that was a decade ago. My apartment was pretty small (rent was $500) but I had everything I needed. I moved into a "luxury" apartment (rent at about $1400 a month) when I got a new job at $50,000 salary and supported myself and my girlfriend on that income and saved up enough to buy a house, which was about $280,000.

I feel your pain. My gf and I have almost nothing in common and it sucks. I have a lot of hobbies and she barely has any, I tried to introduce her to activities that I like, but it never works because she never wants to try anything new. At this point, our relationship is just like a job.

I'm addicted to starting internet fights and writing bait threads...
I try to spend entire days without internet access, but the urge to provoke internet anger keeps me awake at night. I have started to argue with my family like I talk in internet fights, and it's turned my relationships for the worse.
I want to change, but I have no idea what this addiction can be replaced with. I might be mentally screwed beyond fixing.

i bought a book on self building a house because I'm exploring the idea of buying a raw piece of land, and bought a book on building an underground shelter. just cause I thought it was cool and saw it mentioned on a thread once.

I also bought a military woods navigation book or was thinking of buying one because I'm starting to get into backwoods camping. I guess i didnt buy it.

the thing is the algorithm started recommending a bunch of insane prepper books and military hand books and clicked through a shitload of them including some REALLY sketchy ones that i was stupefied was on amazon just to see the sketchy reviews which I won't share. I didn't buy anything except the underground shelter book but I guess i got flagged(?) and that book got intercepted at customs and the packaging even got opened and the plastic around the book got ripped open. but non of the other stuff got opened.
