I couldn't either back in the day. So there is nothing wrong with you, it's just not your cup of tea. You'll meet someone, if that's what you really want for yourself.

I've never done online dating ever. I walk at beaches, art events, cafés, places you know...
I can understand maybe you don't have the time or mood. But I'm not going out looking either. I just make sure to go in places where I can see people...
being · 36-40, F
@MarbleMarvel mhm mMmaybe just a casual café that you like ?
@being it's all drive through... There's nothing quiet or mom and pop left. Nothing artistic. I walk the beach but I guess I'm tattooed and scary/weird? I truly need to move.
being · 36-40, F
@MarbleMarvel I think tattooed is interesting and cool...
It works for some people for varying reasons.

For example, if one feels more comfortable behind a screen than in person at first.

Or if it happens unintentionally. Sometimes you meet people you wouldn't normally have online.


I know some people that discredit it because it isn't "irl" or "Face to face" or whatever. But it's still two people on the ends of those messages and in those video calls. There's still a connection made and eventually? There's still two people meeting face to face.

It's a little riskier, because of catfishing and people lying about who they are.. But people can lie about who they are, their ages and everything in person too.

It all depends on what you're comfortable with and there isn't a "right" or "wrong" way.

If it doesn't work for you and you have better luck in person, that's perfectly fine.

Or if you prefer to be alone. That can be less of a headache too lol.
@MemoirsOfTheDamned I just don't like how evolooks the same. There's nothing unique or individual. It's boring.
@MarbleMarvel And that's okay to feel that way. What works for some doesn't work for others and not everyone is gonna feel the same way. As long as you find what works for you, because you deserve to be happy 🩵 :3

Oh my that didn’t take long. Honestly I had success with online dating but I’m old and wanted to date women in my matching age group. That narrowed things down and left me with better choices but I still had to be very selective and cautious. It’s hard for me to imagine the broader more general dating sites being very useful.
@TheShanachie I think I will have better luck when I'm out of this area.

I never last long because there's nothing original to find. I need something different and here people value conformity.
TheShanachie · 61-69, M
@MarbleMarvel well understood! I’m in a similar culture shock ⚡
Lilymoon · F
Can't say I blame you. I haven't tried it but have heard many bad experiences 😐
@Lilymoon some of the apps are cesspools. The rest our just gym bros looking for a second mom. I'm good 😂
Lilymoon · F
@MarbleMarvel yep haha

Stay away from that isht. It's easy for people to not face you online, to just bail when things get remotely serious. In person they'd have to act as a human at some level.
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
I prefer it, because then they don't have to look at me lol
@DearAmbellina2113 I'm giving up till I get to AZ. You got all the hotties there. It's just white guys drinking brewskis here.

I've had zero success with online dating
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@chasingThursday Is that better or worse than your success rate with offline dating?
chasingThursday · 41-45, M
@ninalanyon slightly better, I actually get dates with online dating but they tend to go nowhere. I have negative success in person lol
@chasingThursday I'll date you.

But yeah this is just depressing. I'm sure if I was a normie it'd be fine.
popmol · 26-30, M
i once had someone get angry because i matched with her.
after that i stopped.
Kuronekko · 41-45, F
There has to be another way.
@Kuronekko part of it is where I live, part of is just too superficial and boring for words...
Prettybratbi1tch · 26-30, F
Try the old fashion way
Prettybratbi1tch · 26-30, F
@Degbeme if that works
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Degbeme ooga booga!
@Prettybratbi1tch have you seen me?? 😂

I'll blame it on where I live. They're like carbon copies of white bros. I can't 😂
BobbyMoeven · 100+, M
It's not for everyone ..

Kinda like playing Russian Roulette with your heart ..
@BobbyMoeven I'm trying bumble but I think it's where I live. There's no originality and no desire for it.
BobbyMoeven · 100+, M
@MarbleMarvel

I get it . But tbh . It's really tough to gauge anyone until you end up getting a bit more deets than an online profile can offer ..

Striking up , even a text conversation , usually reveals a lot in a short span of time .

I am just saying , don't be so quick to throw in the towel . It took over a year for a friend of mine to finally hit their .mark .


Best of luck ..Happy human hunting .
Bang5luts · M
Can't blame you there
SmoKin · M
You have to be in the right frame of mind I think. Just see it as a big bar with lots of prospective dates in it. Then get pissed and make terrible choices 😃
Ferric67 · M
Dating is overhyped
Too much needless drama
@Ferric67 what the heck do you do? Just be alone I guess.
Jexie · 26-30, F
I wouldn't use a dating app
Ferric67 · M
@Jexie hey jex
Jexie · 26-30, F
@Ferric67 Hi ferric 😄
@Jexie smart. It's not worth it
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
How about face to face dating
@Donotfolowme I'm sure you have many clever suggestions unrelated to me personally

Yeah it sucks unless you get very lucky
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@MarbleMarvel Had any funny new interactions you wanna share with the class?
@MartinTheFirst tbh they're so boring. One guy said I wasn't real... Which is amusing because if I wanted to catfish surely I'd use more attractive photos
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@MarbleMarvel Actually unattractive catfish is a big brain move, but yeah if they say you're fake then it probably means you're very attractive. Take it as a weird compliment!
