Let's talk dating apps. Do you like em? Have you used em? What's your takeaway? - eviltoast

As title states.

But also, can I get some advice from the community? After a long while, I finally lifted the veil over my eyes and came to terms with the fact that I am totally and unapologetically homosexual. But I’ve been married for a long time so we’re trying to make it work and just extend ourselves to polyamory. I’ve booted up a dating profile, but should I include that I am a baby gay? Do I include my open relationship? Or are those things to talk about in person? Any advice?

    Within the last 3-5 years they took a massive nosedive off the cliff and right into the “completely plunder our users” pool. They remove useful features that made it easier to find a partner you’re interested in and they all copied tinders “success” by removing what set them apart in favor of all being identical “swipe only” apps.

    Some sites even delved further into the depths of their sales teams depravity and added streaming functions so now you have sites like POF where there’s an entire ecosystem of people that are only there to stream and make money off of desperate guys…

    It became a disgusting money gab and unfortunately for me as I don’t have local options to meet people, I’ve backed out. I’d say if you’re not a super desirable person then save yourself the headache/heartache and just avoid them.

      Well that fucking sucks to hear, my plan was to get back into dating next year after a good 5 year hiatus.
