• The main problem here: commercial dating apps are not intended to help people find partners or flings. They are intended to make the companies money. Some may initially be functional but enshitification hits them fast, once they have a userbase established.

    • I’ve been on dating sites for over 10 years now. The most “likes” I’ve ever had was 17.

      Not even matching. That number is like 6 over 10 years…

      I’m quite literally an absolute joke of a human though. I’m the exact person people joke about as being the worst kind of person: I’m a (guy) homebody who likes to smoke, play videogames, and garden. I’m fit but not muscular, short, balding, and not a fan of dogs or travel (way too expensive). I’m literally worse than Hitler to almost all women.

      Unfortunately the only people who have ever swiped on me except for those 6 I mentioned look like honey booboos mom, have kids, and dogs.

      • nah bro you’ll find your soulmate ❤️ you just gotta find the style that works for you to compliment the stuff you can’t change. anyone can be a 7/10, the rest is luck. and this is not even taking into account the fact that a fuckload of people value your personality much higher than cosmetic stuff
