Is this a common experience?
The apps seemed better pre-covid. The majority of people I’ve encountered on apps, especially grindr, kind of suck. Why be catty instead of blocking or ignoring? Why use someone to trade pics and then get mad when they actually try to link? Why get mad when someone is asking, on a hookup app, if you like to link or if you’re wasting time? I say I’m partnered and we play separately, why are you asking for his pics/a threesome?
Dry replies, lack of personality, 6 dick pics in a row that are almost identical, rampant porn brain, illiterate messages. Never reading the bio, my display name literally says READ THE BIO. Never sending a face pic or meeting in public, and then accusing me of wasting time because i won’t send my address. Trying to pressure me into not using condoms, fetishizing my body, the list goes on.
I have my best luck with guys late 30’s and up because younger guys seem to be not that bright and bitter for nothing. Feels like it takes all day and an act of congress to find 1 or 2 decent guys. And grindr makes you pay for this shit. I plan to migrate to sniffies and the blowers once my XTRA runs out. I’ve heard and seen that online dating is cooked. Is hooking up online cooked as well?
