Online dating can be rough if your brand new and a tech luddite.

A friend of mine just went on a POF date. Before they met up he asked if she was a prostitute because he ended up meeting a few of those who posed as sincere dates.

One thing that ticks me off especially Match.com and I can't believe I fell for it .. is that when your subscription expires they suddenly say this average to above average looking chick(ones i aim for) is interested in you. Their profiles are hard to distinguish if they are legit or not. Usually the fake ones are hot have a few pics do not say much and they are looking for a guy from 20 to 70. Also, the real fake ones ask you to send a message to their gmail. OVerall not sure how the crap Match pulls is consider legal!

I guess I just bought the right yet boring phone .. the iPhone 7.

The Note 7 looked crazy innovative besides full waterproofing, iris scanning..it be turned into a deadly weapon that could be used for mass destruction :-/

On a side note such a phone that floating around could be used by terrorists on planes. How will airlines handle this?

What is hard to follow in my post?

Yeah it's so tough out there if your looks don't fit the mold. I think based on the upvotes of my thread other guys are doing the same. Probably a small majority are, as if you you are curious and disenchanted by str8 dating apps too then why not?. Us guys are completely wound differenly then women and are equally driven by one thing. I can imagine if I was smoking hot guy women would be sending me hot pics like received on Grindr. That would be awesome but nothing I will experienced in this lifetime.

There's no doubt I could be with a chick now but it wouldn't be with any I want, who excite me and or who fit my check list. Thus until I find her I'm biding my time between all these apps and always playing it safe and infrequently on the bi apps.

Nah as bisexual guy and in my experience women are more judgemental then guys.

They after all might procreate with you.

Is it really about what's written???

90% is visual is it not?

How is it for you ... if you don't find her attractive as im sure you look at her pics first.. are you going to bother reading what her profile says?

Why was this downvoted?

So my experience and how it feels for an average to less then average guy in looks(I'm causcasin ..5'10..170.. fit)to be on all these damn apps.

Basically we all want something hot and or attractive to us. I feel for women who are less to average in looks have it better then guys. Probably sign into these apps and get bombarded by guys.

I definitely date using match and plenty of fish(15 different dates a year) Tinder to me is crickets. I'm well aware of why and oh well that's how it goes but it does suck.

Though I've then tried Grindr and other bi apps. I've found both attractive yet if I had found some chick who I liked in my 20s(in my 30s I was in a long term relationship with a chick) and settled down I would most likely have never explored my interest in guys. Would have just kept it to the normal curious fun a lot of us guys have with each other in our teens.

Well using Grindr and others I now know what it feels like to be a chick... sign on and get tons of messages and choose which one catches your eye. This happens each time you open the app. Hey if your into both it's a great way to beat loniless, meet new friends and have fun here/there.

Overall I just wanted to point out one mans use of these dating apps. I'm sure I'm not alone in my struggle with finding the women I want and they want me too. If Tinder keeps you busy your one lucky dude! Probably alone in using those other apps or maybe not and that could be another thing these apps are changing how/who we date and meet?
