i fucking paid for tinder for a week and still nothing. i paid because i have hundreds of likes and wanted to see who they are. turns out most im not interested in, and the ones i messaged never messaged back. i just sat down and started swiping right on a bunch more girls than free mode would allow me and im about to cancel but how do i maximize this time where i still have it? im not really ugly, i should've matched with at least one from this. is this even real anymore?
>>
Its all commodified since like last year. Especially anything Match owned. Hinge and Tinder are designed to perpetually keep you swiping even when they say they don't and since last year have begun a lot of disabling of features and hiding profiles to keep long term swiping. Even prem accounts are getting hidden.

Also most women are using it for an ego boost and still hoping for a in-person approach. Not really looking for dates. Of course its still a tool so good photos win over all but most people at this point are not on there for connection.
>>
I hate how Hinge is now charging you to change your location more than once a month.
>>

On dating apps you are competing with 10+ dudes for every one girl. Women only choose the chads on dating apps. From my expirence the very few women I have met, after all the years of swipping endlessly the dating apps, end up being horrible, insane bitches. I guess ill be single forever.

nothing. you got scammed and your reward is knowing better
id use multiple apps. facebook dating, hinge, bumble and tinder. match.com owns tinder and hinge so they want you to fail regardless. facebook has the least bs but zuck will send everything you say to palantir.
i dont know the rhyme or reason why everyone i know seems to have had better luck with one over the other. so pick your poisons.

>using it for an ego boost and still hoping for a in-person approach
that's kind of how im using it as well. i just want to know im attractive enough to cold-ask strangers in real life on dates and not become the mockery of a tiktok instead or something. all the girls around here keep their phone in their back pocket, i wonder if they're recording everything from their asscam. but if there were someone worthwhile on the app then i'd consider meeting them too. Most profiles seem purposely designed to make me hate women even more.

i dont know anything i dont know anyone nothing is real for all i know its all just AI now. im getting closer to just getting it over with with a hooker but i dont even know how to find them without getting in trouble. i've seen the sites but maybe that's a trap. last time i reached out to a few, the "cartel" was texting me to pay a ransom the next morning, so maybe none of those girls were even real and the entire site and ecosystem of reviews is just designed to get victims of that scam. if i do that again i'll get an entire burner phone first.

...maybe a strip club? besides that i dont just want sex though i want love, someone who actually cares. i am trying to improve, be more fit, have more money, i'd never be chad but i'd be dateable, but whats it all for there's no girls to love out there anymore?

also adultfriendfinder seems fake and sketchy too, im not gonna pay 40 a month just to see profiles and find out if its real.

they're all shit or have gotten more shit over the past few years.
think of it like a witch handing you their 'potion', and the results always vary. the results of hallucinating with ghosts, portals opening to thots instagram/onlyfans, having your soul crushed, or getting robbed is on the menu. there's antidotes to each if you have a thick skin
i quit all of them and meet people irl but if i had to go back id use faceberg because it had the least bs and people seemed more accountable since its tied to their actual account
nowadays im trying to limit my relationship to palantir

I go to work (no girls except customers, and can't ask them out) i go to the gym (hot girls but with their bfs) i drive around sidehustling on doordash and besides that I dont know anyone else where else am i supposed to go? No one talks to me except pleasantries and then we're on our way. A cute girl at a restaurant I picked up food from yesterday said she liked my hair. I said thanks and complimented hers. Then it was over she went back to work and I left. Was I supposed to ask her number right there? What if she wasn't that serious and I get banned from that restaurant instead? Another at a drivethru treated me really nicely and kept calling me "hun", gave me a water, but i thought maybe she was just southern or something? If anything, this may mean that I'm actually goodlooking but I don't know where to go from there.

Everyone's just out there with their own groups im an outsider wherever i go. Even if I talk to them it's just a little bit. I'm done with school, i dont really drink or drugs to go to a bar, or know how to go to a club, and my facebook is vacant and i think facebook dating relies on you having a facebook, a history of photos and interests and friend groups etc

besides that, everything just seems fake and futile online these days, not just dating apps or sex sites, everywhere you try to connect with others feeling the same, like you used to.

jews devalue everything, sex, love, life.

>dont know anyone else where else am i supposed to go
So you have no social hobbies and wonder why you arent meeting chick's?
Talk about putting the cart before the horse.
>A cute girl at a restaurant
She was being friendly
>Another at a drivethru
So was she
>besides that, everything just seems fake and futile online these days
Yeah cause the internet is screwing our ability to socialize and connect with others. Read Bowling Alone for more information on that.
Your best hope is to get into an active hobby like running or climbing. You'll get more fit and meet chick's that will have a common interest with you. So you'll have stuff to talk about and connect on.

The point being you have to get out of your comfort zone and work in a group setting. This has always been the most common way couples get together.

Of course its not lol, its literally called oline dating, so not IRL. 80% of tinder users are guys, and the kind of woman who can't find a man IRL is obviously bottom tier.
>>34785848
Their stocks are tanking and investors are kicking down their door because they fail to deliver ROI, so they are getting more and more aggressive, driving the remaining attractive women and normal men away. Match Inc. has been death spiraling for years, and its now getting to the point where its just a Zoo for freaks.
>>
>>34788266
The point is getting some guy friends, and platonic acquiantances so you aren't hyperneedy because you immediately lean on the girl to replace your entire social life.
Like get a life nigger, even if you do meet a woman you will immediately ruin it by sperging and crawling up her ass because all you do is sit around and jack off when she isn't there. Couldn't imagine doing nothing but work and gooning unless a woman saves me, hellish existence.

>>34788099
so your solution, on the one day i'm not working just to make enough to survive, is run and climb? I don't want to run and climb, I already run a treadmill every now and then. my knees are bad. do I have to pay something or a membership to climb? buy expensive gear to do it for real out in the desert all alone? doesn't sound fun to me

i dont want to do things i don't actually want to do just to meet women, who in this case would love the great outdoors and chads who've effortlessly done this lifestyle longer probably
>>
>>34788266
You have to join social networks where you're introduced to a friend of a friend of a friend or some shit. Most people will likely annoy you but are good nodes for connecting people. My advice is enjoy hanging around the annoying people for what they are.
You're rarely going to see a lone girl because women are afraid to be alone.
Anyways off the top of my head I'll list some activities you could do. Important part is introducing and getting close to the people you meet week after week
Adult sports leagues(softball, ultimate Frisbee, etc)
Community college classes/auditing classes(if it's available it's probably cheaper) I think this is the best method
Pilates/yoga(a little faggy but it could work)
Rock climbing
Hosted library events
Volunteer (don't reccomend)
Ice skating
Indoor swimming
Cooking classes
Fighting clubs
Most will cost some form of money but think of that as a good deterrent for keeping out the most depraved wretches humanity offers
The idea is to build up a social network to increase likelihood of introductions to someone you'd want to be with. Unless you feel like doing cold approaches and grinding that out. However that's an entirely different set of skills and like online dating you're going to need to become numb to being rejected. I did it for about 3 weeks asking for 150 numbers. No dates, 5 numbers, and lots of rejection.
It's a lot of work if you don't already have it but that's what I've had work or seen work. Its either that or continue on your doomed course you know?
>>
>>34788507
Sounds like you're going to live a doomed lifestyle then anon. Women take up time. If you don't have time or energy to do an extracurricular than how do you think you're going to handle having to deal with an entire other person who demands your time and attention?
