How useless are dating apps? - Lemmy.World

… Or useful. Because I entered badoo and it ask for an expensive fee just to talk with anyone.

I met my wife on Tinder years ago before there was a premium version. I also used OkCupid. Both were bought by Match which ruined them.

From what I have heard, dating apps are way worse nowadays. That sucks for lots of people who are shit picking people up in person. There are also fewer third places where it is obvious that single people are open to being social rather than getting annoyed that they are being approached.

A better alternative might be to find a hobby group and try to meet people there.

That means I have no hope I guess.

I have heard Hinge is okay.

Do you have any hobbies?

Gaming
Yeah, that'll be difficult then ...
The gamer girl that’s into gamers is a myth yeah, but what I’m supposed to do. That’s all I care about. That and listening my music. I can’t fake interest in things I don’t care about

Maybe don’t have this toxic attitude.

Toxic? Dude it’s the truth
Yeah…definitely work on that toxicity.
Dude is not toxic. I’ve never met anyone, male or female that is an adult that think gaming is fucking cool or whatever, that stereotype you see in parodies is so over the top because is rare. Is the reality, majority of adults, especially women don’t care about games or nerd stuff… Even if 50 girls here reply "we’re here you know c that’s a niche on a damn obscure social network that the rest of the world don’t know about it.
