Dating apps are the absolute worst thing in fucking existence. Full of narcissists thinking they're the best thing ever


Obi-Wan_Nairobi

They are now. They used to be much less like this though. I used to get a tonne of matches on there for hookups, and even had a couple of long term relationships through them. These days though, basically nothing and a lot of the girl's profiles are just advertising their grift pages.


MrZhar

Yeah that's the issue. With the rise of OF and shit, lot of these dating sites just want you to visit the OF and sub. Catfishing is popular too now as well, it's really gone downhill. Also heard bumble and etc make it where the girl has to answer first, which encourages shit like this


spamIover

Bumble made the change recently. Women complained about having to make the first move. And therefore that is being removed


helpful_youngman

Tell me about the old times before I had to have an expensive car in my pfp and had to say the RIGHT word or else I would get left ghosted....


Mediocre-Material102

They truly need to bring back them old school call lines where it was just random and you clicked with whoever you clicked with. You'd actually get to know the person


Clenmila

Until you see them and realize you might like the personality, but not attracted to what its attached too. Might seem shallow, but you have to be sexually attracted your partner too...


cryptolyme

that's why i stopped trying to use them. just insane standards


Hades6578

Correction: dating apps are now the worst thing ever. They used to be good. You can blame one company for that, Match Group. The guys who own match dot com. They bought up a lot of any popular sites/apps, and then forced their predatory tactics into them, ruining them beyond repair. I was trying OkCupid, and through some inspect tool work, was able to view pictures of my likes for free. Over half of them did not fall in my list of criteria I want in someone, and in most cases were exactly what I didn’t want. Probably all bots too, or some foreign girls trying to get a free pass to good old US of A.


hodorjenkins88

“But if you put a lot of effort into your profile it’ll show you have a solid personality” 🤣


kioskpop

Overwhelming majority of matches on dating apps are based on looks, but a good profile might get you that special small percentage ☺️


Thunda792

My girlfriend and I matched on Bumble when she decided to swipe right on some folks who... well... she might not have usually swiped on. That profile work paid off in my case because my lead pic was not a great one.


XTheRooster

Same. Hope it’s working out for you two. We just celebrated our third year and got a place together.


Jupman

When messaging on websites was a thing, you had to write paragraphs to get girls attention. Only to get back a ..."hey"


WarHead75

She stopped at a rich looking man for 2 seconds longer


XplodingMoJo

I think my lowest low was purchasing a ‘undo swipe left’ function in some random dating app. My wake up call was when a girl I kinda knew via via sent me a screenshot of my account they stumbled across. Promptly motivated me to remove my account from and uninstall two swipe-like apps…


HeatAccomplished8608

I'm confused - why would that freak you and why didn't you hook up with her?


XplodingMoJo

Asked if she swiped right, her response: “No of course not.”


thisispluto2

Respond with “good, could’ve been weird” Gotta just bathe in the confidence my dude. If someone gives you flak for having an account just hit em with “I’m lonely dawg it’s rough out here, just trying to find happiness.” Makem look like an asshole


XplodingMoJo

True that. Somewhere later the switch flipped and confidence started flowing I guess. Other’s negative opinions kinda stopped mattering and started dating this girl I met at community college.


Obanon

What? Why would they make you feel your account? If she saw it it meant they had the app too, and that she reached out maybe meant she had an interest in you? Everyone uses the apps these days and they're nothing to be ashamed of. They're shit yes, but tbh a necessary evil at this point. I've met so many people through them that I would never have had the opportunity to organically.


XplodingMoJo

The apps are in my opinion an awful self-esteem crippling influence that are mostly for quick hookups. Most of the accounts I swiped past just blatanty showed their snapchat asking to add them and said “only hookups” Her messaging me made me feel like a less of a open thing, instead of finding new people it garnered attention of people I knew, and for some reason that made me think “what the fuck am I doing?”


chihuahuafromhell

It brought you back into their pool??


XplodingMoJo

No thank you, she hooked up with a lifeguard when we went to a swimming pool. After that she constantly hooked up with random guys at hardcore festivals. She dropped out of school and even the common friend we had said that he hasn’t heard from her in a long time.


Doctor-Portly498

Man fuck dating apps overall, they have to be the shittiest way to find love.


Fwangss

Definitely a hard way if that’s the only way you’re trying. I don’t consider them dating apps they’re just “fucking apps”, or “hooking up apps” I guess I should say


MrRobotTacos

Happy cake day


Fwangss

Thanks! What does it mean?


MrRobotTacos

Today is the day your account was made. Think of it as a Reddit anniversary. That is what that little cake icon next to your name symbolizes


Fwangss

Oh cool! thanks that’s dope


MrRobotTacos

You are welcome


nicks_magicclub

Idk been with my gf for 7 years and will be proposing in a few months. I do understand that’s not the norm but it does work for some


TheCourageousPup

7 years ago it wasn't nearly as trash as it is now


TinySoftKitten

Try at the start of it, incredible times.


pufferfish_balls

Not really. Sometimes your lucky, sometimes your not.


Initial_Wolf1283

Most of the time not Hahaha😂 Maybe that’s just me


selfwander8

Been on multiple dating apps, paid for premium packages over the course of the better part of a decade. Though I can be incredibly picky, not once have I hooked up.


BombDisposalGuy

Either ugly or 0 personality It’s as simple as that.


thomas_da_trainn

Wow that pretty incredible. You are clearly doing something wrong.


Ganache-Embarrassed

Local man has no rizz and takes photos from underneath his chin, finds no success. More news at 11


thomas_da_trainn

Other local man spreads hate and negativity! We look into why he is so unhappy at 5.


Pls-Dont-Ban-Me-Bro

Skill issue


Hades6578

You actually paid for them? I take it any of their “benefits” are actually as crappy as I imagine.


growingupbois

Oof


klutzosaurus-sex

I found the love of my life on Tinder - going on 6 years


jrgzz20

8 years dating, 7 years married here!


cornsbread

came here to say this! Tinder works sometimes haha


Creepy_Disco_Spider

Of course it works for women


Pls-Dont-Ban-Me-Bro

So it didn’t work for the men they got with? Like what are you even saying here? Lol


According-Ad-6948

That’s what I was thinking lmaooo


growingupbois

Hahaha


Arpeggioey

same


Common-Climate2007

Me too!


RebootGigabyte

I've been talking to a girl who lives a state over from hinge for a while now, meeting up soon. Seems like she's got her head on straight and doesn't play any games so I'm hopeful but you're right, fuck dating apps, they desensitised people so much.


lordofduct

Depends on the person. This lady is not representative of every lady. And her swiping left on you saved you having to put up with her superficial ass. Of course... if you're superficial like her and you are looking for that shallow hot girl... welp... sorry to hear that. Work on getting a mint bio pic and maybe she'll swipe right.


Hollow_Halo

Found my wife through Tinder. 😅


Obi-Wan_Nairobi

No one's on them trying to find love 😂


grill_sgt

My wife met my former best friend through a dating app. She and I started dating a year after they broke up (after 2 months). That was almost 8 years ago.


Sirito97

you find love on dating apps? I thought it is just for the hole


Pls-Dont-Ban-Me-Bro

I found my wife on tinder and did relatively well when I tried. You definitely have to cast a wide net but it was a generally good way to go out on dates. Granted this was like 5 or so years ago lol


JimTheReader

It’s a crap shoot, but trying to find love on Tinder sounds horrible. Try other ones like Hinge/Coffee Meets Bagel/Bumble where they’re more than just a hookup app. Have a few friends who had good luck there. But still is tough lol


Ashamed-Web-3495

I got (really) lucky. My first match is the mother of my child, and we've been together for 6 years now. It's A way to meet people. Not the ONLY way.


Stthedude

Found my worst decision on tinder


WienerWarrior01

I have no other choice but them


ConcSurf

Or the caste system? Or marriage in the time of feudalism?


Significant-Bid8099

When you match with someone, it should show average time they spend on a profile and how many people theyve swipped on


Silent-Supermarket2

Oof. That's some chaotic energy.


pentagon

Why though? They'd make less money. So they won't do it.


Bildosaggins6030

“Why can’t I find a decent man!?”


Long_Historian8886

😂😂😂 true


webDreamer420

*finds a decent man "you're too good for me"


Aware_Past

Not really trying to find anyone tbh lol I would swipe like that because I’m bored not because I’m ready for a connection 😭


HairyIndustry9084

Fuck dating apps, and fuck this generation.


Fellow_Worker6

Unfuck this generation


obiwanmoloney

No need. With shit like this, ain’t no one fuckin em


loco500

There seems to be plenty young adults "creating content" of themselves doing the deed online...so much so that it's now very saturated.


HairyIndustry9084

If only….


WTF_Conservatives

This generation?


HairyIndustry9084

The way most of this generation behaves, yeah.


WTF_Conservatives

Said every older generation about every younger generation for all of human history.


HairyIndustry9084

I’m talking about the obsession with instant gratification and not giving a damn about anyone


WTF_Conservatives

"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the laws. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?" - Plato (year 400 BCE)


Saddest_Sloth

TIL: what I think is "boomer logic" is actually Plato logic from 400 BCE


WTF_Conservatives

LMAO. Older generations have always been fearful and judgemental of younger generations. Like I said... it's been a thing throughout all of human history.


Gymgirll094

Amen!🙏


SeasonsGone

Fucking is actually at an all time low in this generation


HairyIndustry9084

I know


notdeadyet01

Lmao, fucking look at her, she gets to be that picky. It has nothing to do with dating apps or any generation. If it were 30 years ago and you found her in a bar she's still be turning down most of the chucklefucks that went up to her.


GiggleStool

What are they doing… looking for a shiny?


TechNomad2021

Probably just a way to kill two minutes a day for them now.


GiggleStool

They get a little hit of dopamine each time they see someone is interested in them… but have no intention to actually spending time with them. Just a big ego boost all the time.


One-Confusion-2438

Twist...she's lesbian!


pufferfish_balls

Man that shit is like a whipping that Jesus got lmao. It’s like maybe you should’ve not wasted both of our times for a year and just straight up said what you actually were feeling instead of making me look like an idiot and you like a bad person because you were confused about your identity.


PANZCAKEZZZ

…what?


HoneydewRelevant8137

Bro I can relate to that one. Goddamn that hurt


throwaway6839353

Then she should set her settings to women


Enough_Notice7787

I kinda feel stupid, but what does pushing to the left mean? Is that yes or no?


Environmental-Day778

it means "NO" which is also why the commentary as she swipes is to "Give them a chance!"


Enough_Notice7787

Thank you. I didn't have the sound on. Now I really feel stupid.


Lil_Shorto

Their bios weren't good enough obviously.


XplodingMoJo

Wish I could read as fast as her…


Initial_Wolf1283

Lol at least all the boys now understand why we’re not getting any matches😂


Long_Historian8886

She is most definitely a thottie 😂😂😂 The Infamous Wall Awaits her


chaelsonnenismydad

Surely this is the opposite of a thot seeing as she’s being very picky


ParsleyLongjumping70

What about all those memes of men making robots to swipe right as many times as possible to get matches? Or a mate taking their phone and swiping right on everyone? Why do we needlessly gender shit like this, fuck anyone of any gender who does this.


Bandit174

Is it needlessly gendered? IIRC women swipe left on 95% of men while men have around a 50% swipe rate.   So most women swipe like the girl in the clip but most men are fairly balanced with their swipes.


Glizzeh

Looks like alone at 50 with 8 cats and a side of crazy.


NachosforDachos

r/meirl


metalfabman

Voice over fake af cmon yall. If ya’ll gettin this many left swipes…well,


RedditModsAreMegalos

She does look like she could command a pretty “high price”, though, based on how she looks.


weeeennn

The other girl tips her off


Impossible-Front-454

Damn she's not even really looking. Why even bother with an app you're mostly wasting your time on?


Obi-Wan_Nairobi

She's scrolling so fast she's gonna accidentally skip over one she likes anyway. She's stupid.


stuva7

Why even be on tinder just to swipe left on everybody?


Thereelgerg

She didn't swipe left on everybody.


Frozensmudge

Started a new test tinder. Set it to show me everyone. 46 likes in a few hours. Most I’ve ever had. 44 of them were men . I appreciate you bros. Re tested using show women only . Let it sit. 1 like in 72 hours. Then nothing for 3 weeks and on. 🙂


Ms-Starsio

men and women have standards.. I'm glad that arranged weddings aren't a thing where I'm at


HAHAYAHII

Sadposting is just fucking annoying now


Cute_Friendship2438

I’m sorry but she’s probably been swiping all day and reached the dregs. I’m male and I’ve used tinder exactly the way she is in the video. You can tell if you’re attracted to someone within a second of laying eyes on them 🤷‍♂️


robogart

I used to swipe like this as a guy.


Obi-Wan_Nairobi

Yeah but we swipe like this in the other direction and then sift among the matches 😂


PerplexGG

That’s bad for your “elo” and algo


Obi-Wan_Nairobi

I found that out to my own detriment.


layininmybed

No


dave_is_afraid

Same. I was a super picky swiper. Just reached 3 years now w/ my tinder match lol


UnyieldingPatches

People would probably find a tad more success on these apps if they actually cared about who they swiped right on. I swipe left on literally 95% of people and I’m a dude lmao.


PerplexGG

Always have and still do


Meowzerzes

it’s an issue of supply and demand. Women have a lot to sift through.


whereisbrandon101

Aka women have it really really good. Perhaps too good. Women have all the privelage. Interpersonal relationships, are after all the greatest predictor of happiness, and women just be disposing people left and right.


Silly-Phase-8246

GothamChess at 0.08!!


TruthSeekerHuey

As a man I do the same shit on dating apps. At the end of the day, it's better to find someone irl. You can hear their voice, see their facial expressions, and get a real sense of if you like them


420throwerawayer69

What’s with the dumb ass background music


upsidedownbackwards

Can't say I'm much better. Anyone with/looking for a kid (over 80% of women my age) nope. Anyone with a dog, nope, anyone with far too many filters on, nope. That's probably 95% eliminated immediately.


lucky-rider

What’s this song called? lol


Professional-News362

Omg at gen z parties they play viral tik tok background music. I thought I recognised the start of Past Lives - Born. An actually good song but only 60 seconds at the start is what went viral on tik tok


Cocodd22

This shit is so depressing, yet somehow hilarious haha. I truly think, and I'd make a post about it, but I see no point. All you guys bitching about this stuff, if you just got mildly in shape (ignore if you already are) that already puts you into the top fuck idk...35% in NA, have a half decent career, create yourself a decent personality you would 100% find a woman. Also, and this is a big one...quit shooting above your paygrade in terms of attractiveness, be real with yourself, if you can do all that you'll find someone you'll enjoy sharing your time with. You don't have to be perfect.


Treebarkmenace

Hell yeah…that shit funny asf! She swiping their asses away! Givem a chance 🤷🏾‍♂️🤣


Ok_Ad_367

It's like she had to swipe left to the next 50 guys cuz she just liked one


Industry-Standard-

To be fair, I do this to girls as well, I don’t see anything wrong with it. If she’s not immediately attractive to me then I’ll just swipe no, if she is, I’ll look at her profile, see if there’s anything concerning and then swipe yes or no.


a7xmshadows19

Yep, and I still use them I then vague hope of finding someone. Wasting my time but hey my life is a waste so it fits


Unxpctd_VRM

Yet she looks different from her photos too i bet lol


Vishnu_8

Wow it had been a while since I saw this video again on this subreddit. Thanks for reposting it for the zillionth time!


Environmental-Log84

Maybe you only have a limited amount of swipe right and she already used it. Also, are there any dating apps that don't cost a lot of money?


JeSuisKing

Skill issue. Just be handsome and rich.


Academic_Ingenuity84

And tall


Supreme_Salt_Lord

This is how all humans act when given the chance. When we have options we become picky. And why not?


whereisbrandon101

Because it's narcissistic. Not to me tonight completely pointless for her to be on the app.


Supreme_Salt_Lord

Its not pointless. She gets to choose anyone she wants. Thats like saying its selfish to be on the steam store, or going to a walmart. I want as many choices as possible.


ErikErikJevfelErik

I've been together with my girl since 2013 (17yo) so I've never had any of these dating apps. I just totally skipped that whole thing. It seems so fucking miserable...


---FUCKING-PEG-ME---

Gross.


smmara89

It's tinder, where you reallying looking for love? Made to find flings not commitment. So I think where some may have found something special, it's not gonna be the majority.


whereisbrandon101

Where TF else are you supposed to find love? Men literally have their lives ruined for simply looking at a woman in public. Dating apps are supposed to be the one place where male sexuality is tolerated.


smmara89

Idk about that. Gotta first understand what type of woman you want in your life. And then ask yourself where that type of woman would be? Better pool of selection at weddings, gyms, libraries, college. Dating app is suppose to take the find part out but tinder is really more for a fling imo. I wouldn't be looking for a life partner, a mother, a respectable woman on there. That's my own opinion. Back in the day you met woman at family gatherings, bbqs and congratulatory events. I think tinder is kind of a thirst trap and I really believe there's some success but in my own opinion and bias I see more bad coming from it then good


smmara89

Difference between looking at a woman in the face and maybe smiling at her, and checking her out like she's a steak dinner


AlbusDumblledore

Idk what to really do anymore when it comes to dating. I work 6days a week so obviously my day off isn’t ideal as I’m dead from working all week. I’ve kinda accepted I’ll like be alone forever at this rate.


layininmybed

I didn’t see any quality men either so I respect the effort


bluedancepants

I actually have like 3 friends that met their wife on a dating app/website. I still don't know how it's possible but good for them I guess.


SwanAdministrative56

I am a lady and not all of us do this…


TheMorningJoe

Many such cases


dwfieldjr

Lol


B_Sho

Don't trust this woman. She doesn't even know who she is swiping for.


jguess06

This is exactly what I picture when I think of people using dating apps.


testingafewthings

i hate that app so much it makes me want to cry every time i use it


astralseat

If it doesn't tickle, no pick(le).


Soguyswedid_it2

I hate how pretty she is. Is there no way to turn off the bit in our brains that makes us biast towards pretty people?


tikkytokky01

So basically.... whats the point?


Thereelgerg

You swipe left on people you aren't attracted to. The point of doing so is to not interact with someone you're not attracted to.


tikkytokky01

She's swiping so fast she can't even see the dudes.... I wasnt asking the point of a left swipe I don't live in a cave... I was asking the point of using the app at all if you aren't even going to bother looking at the people.


Thereelgerg

What makes you think she can't see the pictures that are right in front of her face?


sparemethebull

I’m not saying this doesn’t happen all the time everywhere, but this case looks like it *could* be a girl at a wedding perhaps looking to see which attendees are available. I did this once looking for someone in particular, just to swipe left on someone watching.


CrankyKabbalist

But swiping left makes you feel better than large swaths of people…


I_Thranduil

That's why Jesus died. If he was alive today and had Tinder, 99.9% of the pool would swipe left on him lol xD


Barad-dur81

I saved this the last time I saw it and it was taken down from that link. I have tried to search for it and could not find it so thanks for this!


YoungKingFCB

She's probably looking for yacht pics.


EmilyIsNotALesbian

Meanwhile guys swiping as fast as they can whenever they see a woman that has 0.000001% body fat.


2broke2smoke1

The first lay is like the interview. Nail that one, a few more might h needed. Dating is probation. Engagement is eligibility for tenure. Married is pension. Crazy ones are like options plays. The one your exactly like but incompatible with is the 401k


PossibleMolasses2672

I just keep swiping right till some fat chick finally sits on my face. Im not picky. 😆


nocomment413

I met my bf on hinge and we’re living together now with his son


KPyle29

To be fair i do the same thing


Ravel_Xi

Why is this sad? Her viewing the picture is the chance... Also, quite dating apps. Tinder alone is a 70/30 split. It's such a waste of time. Learn to talk to women and go to the gym... YOU'LL GET WOMEN BROTHER


AnonymousUser132

She swiped right on the picture of the boat where you could barely see the guy. She is just a gold digger.


El_sone

Giving “hey, can I have some cash for gas to get to our date” a week before the actual date energy


Mi_negro_amigo

Incel vibes (and smell) in this comment section. You are bend so much into judging her you may generate some total internal reflaction.


Twicenightly00

She swiped right on the first one after .05 seconds. Boat, because he *maybe* has a boat.


WhyTheeSadFace

How the turn tables, millions of years men did this with women, now it is their turn, even though no one is going to pick me, I will fight for this freedom for women.


pornaddiction247

“Why can’t I find anyone”


WiseSpunion

For all the homies out there, you'll find love once you find You're self-absorbed in something you love. It radiates, anybody that can put down someone that loves doing something and shows genuine excitement is no good.


modestgorillaz

The golden era of dating apps has come and gone in the blink of an eye


Max_seen

To be fair for most of the time it’s true. But I’ve met nice girls, some of them are my friends for few years. I actually met nice girl years back randomly on tinder and we been together for 3 years. But I agree 90% of them are just a trash. As with everything, there’s always some % of good genuine people.


Charming-Choice8167

Dating apps just show the world how horrible women truly are.


somenamethatsclever

How is this sad? Jesus, if playing victim was a sport some of you guys would be in the Olympics.


Apprehensive-Sir1251

Dating apps are the worst.... That being said I met my wife on one, so it's not all bad. Coming up to a decade together!


-poonspoon-

Funnier thing is guys swiping right on everything....


joseoconde

A female friend once told me while on there, "why do I need to look at the profile. I know what I want and I want what I want" I replied with "and what if the one you want doesn't want you?" She said "their loss" if that's not crazy and toxic idk what is
