    I feel so sorry for generations having to use those stinky fucking pieces of shit predatory apps, designed to keep the majority of men single AND paying.

    Also the method of “dating” there sucks so much, unless you’re just there for a quick fuck.

    Not saying it was easier back then without those apps. Probably wasn’t.

      The funny thing is that it wasn’t always this bad. When i used tinder the first time, i installed it, got like 20 matches, talked to some people and met up with one or two. It was free and unlimited, except to see who matched you and super likes and all that shit.

      It just got periodically worse and worse. The last time i used tinder was this summer and it’s disgusting. The app is designed to prevent you from getting matches, the only ones who swiped on me live in china, kenya or Thailand. Expectations have gone through the roof.

      With all that said, i actually met someone that i really love and we both are kind of in the same boat. Neither me or her have ever met someone that they liked as much, and i would’ve never met her without these shitty ass apps.

        Sure, but what you described as “wasn’t so.bad” is just the usual enshittification of everything. Lure people in for “free” until market saturation is as planned, then make them pay or loose.

        Also yeah sure, you got lucky, but I bet that tinder is made to loose. If everyone would just find someone, noone would pay 😁

        But that’s survivorship bias. You don’t hate tinder because you were lucky to profit from it.

        Anyhow, congrats on not having to use it anymore 😉
