r/dating_apps

Had a woman tell me to move on if Conservative, Republican, or even a Moderate because she only dates liberal men. I asked her why, and she said it’s basically a shortcut to narrow down men who she believes won’t align with her principles or morals. She admitted it’s not 100%, but based on her experience, she’d rather not waste her time.

To me, that comes across as pretty immature. I see political preferences like this all the time on dating apps, and I genuinely don’t understand it. Isn’t part of the point of dating to actually meet people and judge them as individuals? Is it really that unreasonable to meet someone and learn what they actually believe instead of assuming based on a political label and staying in an echo chamber?

Qu’est-ce que vous amélioreriez sur les applis de rencontre de nos jours ?

Ive done Hinge, hily, bumble, Pof, Boo, Upward, Jigsaw Dating. They all either have no replies or like 3 fucking conversations and then its done. Im so pissed off im sick of it.

Im writing this to get some help and understanding but also to blow off some steam.

I'm 32 years old, and after being in a relationship for eight years, I'm single again.

I've seen a lot of people online talking about how difficult the dating scene is nowadays. People often say there are a lot of men competing for relatively few women, and that some women have very high expectations and an unrealistic list of things a man is supposed to be or have.

I'd like to try dating apps, mainly because I sometimes find it difficult to just go to a bar or a party, approach someone, and start a conversation.

However, the internet is full of people who say they've had terrible experiences on Tinder and other dating apps.

What do you think about that? Do you think I should give dating apps a try? What's your take on them?

So I (32F) am currently residing in the Midwest and do not intend to stay in my current city permanently. I am not in the military but I basically move around every 3-5 years. My issue with traditional dating apps like hinge and bumble is that I match with people who have zero intentions on moving. Are there any dating apps or even fb groups specifically geared toward people who moved around a lot? Next city I plan to move to is Denver.

I recently got in to it just curious

Is there a good reason I’m not thinking of to at least by photo verified if you’re on Bumble / Tinder / similar well known apps that we know by now are established reputable businesses, and you’re uploading your information into the app anyway, so i can’t really understand if it’s something safety / security wise that you’d be worried about as a reason. Should I just assume if they’re not verified that they’re a catfish/ something not honest?
