bit of context: 25m i'd consider myself average looking and very much neurotic. online dating apps are absolutely wrecking my mental state.>dry spells, no likes/matches on hingei feel absolutely ugly and unlovable>suddenly get bombarded with dates every now and then out of the blueWE ARE SO BACK>date doesn't go anywhere/ i get dumped after a few months' of being in a relationship>rinse and repeati can understand and see logically that for me to beat myself up and think i'm ugly is nonsensical because i have had girls compliment me, i have had hookups/relationships (and with objectively attractive girls to boot), etc yada yada and yet none of it is enough and doesn't make me genuinely like myself. the highs or validation i get are temporary.
>>34399859Men should never use dating apps because every other male has the EXACT same idea as you, you aren't special. Women use them way less, so the gender ratio is 80/20 in favor of more men.Just don't do it, try literally anything else.

>>34399859Dating apps should only be used if you already have a good irl system for meeting girls. If its your only system you will get frustrated having it be dictated by something out of your control
