Yep, that's what they are like. And just like product catalogues, the descriptions are very short and only show the features that appeal to a majority of people too.

@NerdyPotato The point is, there just isn't anything good to be had on dating apps.
@Punches I don't know. Maybe there are, maybe there aren't. The features on those sites don't allow you to see the difference, so the only way to find out is by dating every single member.

@NerdyPotato You are right though that most try to show only the good news.
I usually end up wanting them to sit across the room so they can be the same size as the photo. A lot of them look better that way.

@onrealityofdreams so it's deceiving
@SW-User It starts going downhill when the conversation begins. A lot of Blah Blah Blah about this and that and I'm thinking "That wasn't in your profile".

I think it is just the way of it now, times change, dating changes. To each their own, although I haven't actually heard of a positive dating experience with the apps. Too safe, too easy. Nothing in life that easy works long term. How are you to know a real person if behind a screen? I have never believed in long distance, never meeting relationships either though. I put too much importance in chemistry. What do I know? I haven't dated in a long while.

SW-User
@dragonfly46 I agree

Well, if you find a good dating website that focuses on personalities, please let me know, I'll suggest it to people...

Yeah, it's not a good way to find a partner.
I think there is something to getting to know someone slowly, in the background of your life, that makes a lot of sense. It's a much easier way to find a prospective partner, as you get some form of vetting... seeing how they treat other people, what their interests are, what their sense of humour is like... etc.

@caccoon yes, kinda like friends, and then building the attraction
caccoon · 36-40
@SW-User agreed!
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
Maybe it should be used to contact potential dates only. Not a substitute for real dating.

SW-User
@JimboSaturn I don't understand what you mean
@JimboSaturn I don't think they are supposed to replace meeting in person. They are indeed meant to make the first connection easier in order to set up a date.
OnePatheticClown · 51-55, M
Little experience I've had with dating apps was far from great... either women expecting a handsome millionaire, or offering "services"... It's all weird...

SW-User
@OnePatheticClown services? Like sexual? Yeah that sucks, surely some are after people wallets
OnePatheticClown · 51-55, M
@SW-User yep, some offered that kind of services after a long, friendly chat... really annoying....if I were looking for that, there are other places...

I’ve had no luck with them

SW-User
@SW-User what happened

SW-User
@SW-User I rarely get any responses even from matches, or they just disappear. It’s weird

SW-User
@SW-User yes that seems weird.

its speed ghosting
WolfGirlwh0r3 · 36-40, T
@SW-User both men and women use dating apps to access people they find only aesthetically attractive, gone is the art of meeting and learning the real person....

SW-User
@WolfGirlwh0r3 yeah and with that the overuse of filters... Insecurity etc and like you say, people don't know each other well
WolfGirlwh0r3 · 36-40, T
@SW-User to me worst of all of these issues is that with the "instant gratification" era we are in people have no attention spans any more... Gone are the times of walking along the beach at night talking in the moonlight, its all hook up fuck, maybe make baby, maybe not, instant marry, then divorse and start all over again....

I feel society used to serve woman. Now it serves men because basically they want a how and woman want sincerity and to be understood and respected. (usually)
DDonde · 31-35, M
I agree, they're pretty superficial.
I've read once the best way to approach them to spend as little time on them as possible and take the profiles with a grain of salt and arrange to meet as soon as possible and let that in-person date be your real source of judgement of whether you like that person or not.

JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@SW-User Well don't get your hopes up and just date them, just use it to get in contact with people. It's still weird and forced I know.
There must be some normal people on dating sites (or maybe not lol)

There are good results from them, though I don't like them either.

SW-User
@Classified why you don't?
Classified · M
@SW-User It feels uncomfortable. Guess part of that is because it's a scary unknown.
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
It's a bit like tool shopping... you see it in the catalog and think it looks cool & you have to have it, but when you see it in person in the store, you realize it's just a piece of overhyped junk... 🤔

SW-User
@wildbill83 something like that
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
@SW-User the funny thing is, many women on social media are bad to use image filters and put on a fuck ton of makeup and talk about how they want a "real" relationship.... 🤔

SW-User
@wildbill83 yeah now are filters for everything. I think lots get disappointed when see each other 😆
Spoiledbrat · F
Woman are expected to give sex on second date now or something and they don't even know if he wants to stick around. It's just expected.

SW-User
@Spoiledbrat true..
Punches · 46-50, F
One isn't gonna find love on a dating app. Those things are nothing but scammers, catfish, and complete losers.

SW-User
@Punches why do you say losers hahaha
Punches · 46-50, F
@SW-User The catfish and scammers are self explanatory. They are typically one and the same.
For losers though - Often they are obese, they look like someone took a dump in their gene pool, clinically depressed, raising small kids, have no job, no car, are in an awkward living situation, probably into drugs, have some rare medical disorder, on facebook 24/7, trying to get back with some ex,
