He will get cancer and eventually die. I think this is also more likely because Michael C Hall had cancer in real life and supports the suggestion as it is relatable.

I feel like dating apps have gotten worse with this. Before COVID I was easily able to find women with similar interests that liked to game, nerd out, like star wars, you know, geeky stuff. Nowadays, I can't find them at all? Is it just my area?

I put these interests in my bio. I have a fit build also, but, I tend to keep attracting the same type of woman, and not nerds, it's the traveling/social butterfly type I try to avoid.

Cancer specifically, my ex was cancer, it was the most toxic relationship in my entire life, she was very closed off, sex was great though

Dated since then, when tells me cancer, I just groan. just recently talked to 2 of them, completely closed off, me however I am direct and open

which, as a scorpio, makes me think, I am wasting my time, and rightfully so

and I never attract pisces or other scorpios, it's usually earth and air signs

just wondering if anyone can relate.. wish it could be different I would love to date a fellow scorpio or pisces..

Are there any apps worth using besides those 3, similar to FB dating ?

update the notification system please.. they are delayed on my phone and sometimes you don't even get the notifications, i've heard this is a common complaint

I've had great success with dating apps. Met a lot of cool people, some hook ups, some situationships, a few relationships.

However, they still destroy my self esteem, and I feel like my life gets worse when I go on them even tho I did meet women. The constant wonder of what else is out there. The constant swiping. I feel drained and abused. I've gained weight. I've lost focus. I already feel better today starting the week not having them on my phone.

I know I'm speaking to the choir here, but idk what it is, but even tho I've had success on them, my self esteem still gets destroyed getting especially left on read, denied, going through all this struggle and trash just to get to the gold.. if there is there..

I get some action from dating apps, but is it worth..

-using money for sub

-self esteem hits

-dopamine fried brain from swiping

-weight gain (in my case from dating)

is this cope? maybe, but i have been off the apps again since friday and I already feel better and feel more productive at work and the gym and my goals

I would like to see a therapist but don't know where to start or where to find one? Any advice?

34M here would prefer..

1. female therapist

2. don't want to fix myself, want to guide through the world knowing and understandings my flaws

Thank you

If they are rude to me or say anything negative, or ghost the convo, I’m reporting them, karma and I hope they got banned from hinge’s AI system

Also in the convo I’ve started to put text that would help the AI understand why I’m reporting the user

The responses to this post are why I’m gunna keep doing it ty

is it even possible as a water sign scorpio? I get into these whirlwind romances and back away when it gets serious

As a November Scorpio I thrive in Fall/Winter and become a recluse in Spring/Summer. Anyone else?

I don't know if it's me, but I find these people to be very shallow with no depth. It's all about work for them. Did they have a rough day at work? They'll let you know, don't worry. They also will not shut up about anything work related. I find these people have not much depth going on, with no personality other than "their career".

It's like the leo/gemini who won't shut the F up about traveling

Mini rant over. Currently dating an Aquarius and she won't shut the f up about work ever single day.

I know it's popular to hate on dating apps, and they are not perfect. I do not enjoy the flaking, the ego boosting, etc. They need fixing for sure, lots of issues, bots, matching and no replies.

However i've been using dating apps since Tinder really took off 10+ years ago, and would like to give my thoughts on why I don't mind them that much.

1. As an introverted male, dating apps have gotten me massive success with dating and opening up with women. I don't cold approach and don't go out much, so dating apps have helped me a lot.
2. Dating apps are convenient and I can swipe on the tread mill, on the toilet, at work breaks.
3. I always have the option to turn them off and take a break.
4. Personally, it's a good mirror tool. Not getting a lot of matches? Maybe it's time to finally go on that diet and lose some pounds. Maybe I should change my hair cut or how I approach things. It's good for self improvement.
5. If a woman's profile is actually filled out and unique (I will admit it's getting less common), it's refreshing to be able to connect over common interests.

Anyway I know they are not perfect, I get really frustrated myself sometimes.. but they've also helped me tremendously. My suggestion would be, if you're getting frustrated, please delete them and take a break. You can enjoy life alone sometimes.

Also, if you're having trouble with one app, use a different one. I have little success on Tinder, but my experience on Hinge has been 100x better. Night and day difference.

Or, what is your breaking point from dating?

I've been dating for the last two months and I've noticed I've been gaining weight and I am starting to hate myself for it. I'm losing confidence and just don't feel good. I've been talking to a few people and as an introvert, I think it's best to go back to hermit mode and focus on myself. Unfortunately looks like I'm going to be letting a few people down.

I also have a limited social battery, in the past if someone burns me, I tend to burn it all down and become a recluse.

on dating apps I swear it's all I attract and they are so boring with no depth..

They need to start punishing users that are not serious on the apps. This would be a good start.

"But I shouldn't have to talk to everyone I match with" You're right, so unmatch them or don't swipe right.
