hi i have next to no experience dating due to being a complete loser for my entire life but ive been really boy crazy lately and i wish i had a bf but the problem is that i keep hearing that apps like grindr are really only very good for hookups and whatnot so i guess i just want some opinions so i know whether its worth it to spend some time looking for actual love on a dating app rather than just sexsorry this is so pathetic im just really lonely and i live in a town where there arent many gay or bi guys and i just want to feel loved by a man
bars and clubs and parties and hinge for boys you want to keep bc grindr is full of people who just want to suck on it
>>41448594Hiki is pretty good. Had matches but they were like a few cities away cause I'm rural. Heard it's pretty hard to get matches on Hiki if you're not near bigger cities but it's worth a shot ig.
>>41448594All apps are hookup apps no matter what the marketing says because of how apps fundamentally work, which is all the good looking men at the top getting all the swipes from women who the guy will then have a one night stand with. The only difference between apps is how much they expect the high tier men to lie about this intention in order to get the girl in bed with him, and how much the girl ends up disappointed that "men" are all the same from these repeated experiences.You need hobbies and things you love doing, and then you need to go and do those things with other people around or in a group. That will get you friends, and from there you either like someone as more than friends, or have your friend introduce you to another friend who's also single. Friends you choose are always better matchmakers than strangers and companies you don't get to choose. The idea that you're the one choosing matches on an app because you do the swiping is a marketing lie you have to be stupid enough to believe.
>>41448594Can relate, that's why I started posting on this board hoping to find someone here
People call me a boomer for this but I met my man on okcupid, going strong near 4 years. All my best dates happened from there tbf
