I am trying everything you guys. Real life and online dating. With online dating, I have been on hinge for like 10 years now and had one date that didn't really go anywhere unfortunately. As a man, its self esteem shattering to use online dating but I see no other option. I bought the Hinge X subscription against my best judgement. I sent 30 messages. All of them tailored to specifically the woman I was messaging AND I also only messaged women I was trully interested in. I have gotten zero messages back. Its self esteem ruining and I feel crushed but I feel compelled to press on.Then, I thought maybe I try real life. I asked my married friends to try and hook me up with women who they think might be okay. However, no prospects yet. My one friend tried to hook me up with one woman but unfortunately she has 4 kids between two different dads. She seemed why too chaotic as well. I felt bad for turning my buddies offer down but I told him no single mothers and no heavyset women. She doesn't have to be a model but I just want to interact with a woman who is healthy with a healthy life style. I just don't know what else to try or do. Help. The buying the 60 dollar hinge subscription for a month and getting no responses almost fucking broke my spirit in half.
>>34435250Instead of paying for dating apps, you could've just gotten some nice clothes and taken better photos.
>>34435338I appreciate the advice but "better pictures" is almost a meme. It can be too subjective. I pictures of me at formal events etc taken by photographers. Also mixed in some regular pictures at a park etc. Realistically I think the issue is that I am a minority in a majority white area which is fine. I wouldn't expect to have women fawning over me.
>>34435338There is no way that would I have worked. Besides, I have professional photos from events mixed in. Still nothing. Is it realistic to say that I am at a disadvantage because I am not white? Or is it that a cope?
