T.O.A.D.S. Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I've seen a lot of news about people deleting dating apps due to fatigue. Tinder and Bumble's numbers have been flopping recently https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-07/match-posts-sixth-straight-decline-in-tinder-users-shares-fall Are you still using dating apps? Are you planning to delete them? Have you experienced dating app fatigue? It seems the dating world is a complete mess right now 1
Romova99 Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I'm using Grindr and Sniffies since for some reason I'm on a huge sex drive atm and I can't make it stop (I'm already talking to my psychologist about it tho) but besides that I don't use any, I tried using Tinder and Bumble but it seem like a waste of time + I'm not a person that uses constantly it's phone and social media + I'm not really photogenic so I only have a couple of pics, I'm really no interesting person to meet online lol
alfonso12 Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Yes. I've met multiple boyfriends and also my best friend on Tinder. I also have Grindr and Scruff but I don't use them much.
Reginald Posted August 21 Posted August 21 (edited) Not in years I want to meet my next serious partner in-person. If it's just physical, though, I have plenty of past flings to revisit. The idea of going back to dating apps is just exhausting Edited August 21 by Reginald
єѕℓαм Posted August 21 Posted August 21 i use grindr & sometimes tinder but only on weekends tbfh i started using them less when i realized i couldn't remember some guys i f***ed last week like that **** is not healthy 1
Uncatena Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I gave up on them earlier this year but I downloaded Grindr again to hook up and also a dating app made specifically for autistic and neurodivergent folks recently. Tried Tinder multiple times, never again. Hinge sucks as well. Never bothered with other ones.
Namiskine Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Stopped using it ~4 years ago since I'm not single anymore Seriously though, I've met none of my exes nor my actual boyfriend on these. Just quick lil s*x
Maxxxine Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Yes, they've worked for me. I don't think I'd ever be compatible with a gay to who turns to 'run clubs' and gay frisbee leagues or whatever to find a partner anyway
nadiamendell Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I just joined Tinder again and am remembering why I keep deleting it. The process goes: -Match with someone -One person (maybe) messages the other -The other messages back -3 days go by -1st person finally messages back -2nd person has lost interest and moved on Such a waste of time. I prefer meeting people in person, but that can be difficult to do as well unless you really put yourself out there. 4
JoeAg Posted August 21 Posted August 21 tinder and bumble are offloaded on my phone, but I use sniffies and grindr pretty regularly. tinder truly sucks ass and always has idk why i've redownloaded it but i most likely was drunk off sangria and in my feelings, thirdwheeling perhaps
thatsmydemi Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Not in a while since I met this man at the beginning of the summer. However, as I'm moving out next week, I will probably return. He doesn't seem to be looking for a formal relationship, let alone a long-distance one, so things will end sadly.

Dante Silva Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I like to chat on Grindr, (I almost never begin one though). A lot of guys think it's teasing even though my bio says "chat only". It's only if a guy can prove he's happy to chat without an expectation of sex that I consider him a "contact" and someone I might yellow star and go back to on another occasion. Many don't know how to process it when I say I am happy to chat but not meet (and that I'm telling them that upfront so they don't later accuse me of being a time waster). Simply being on that app teaches you a lot about the urgency of the male sex drive. It can be funny when someone (without a face pic on their profile) opens a chat with a dick pic. On those occasions I am usually lost for words and think where does this chat actually go from here? Then again maybe I'm simply not using it the way it's intended.
shyboi Posted August 21 Posted August 21 Men flirt with me everywhere, I don't need app's cheap and frugal dopamine spikes

Hmm I don't understand why someone would use apps like that to find pen pals

So many of us don't even know these spaces exist! There needs to be better marketing tbh. I don't know why saunas haven't advertised on Grindr etc Edited August 21 by Janet 1

Sheep Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I use them when I want attention but not really to meet people outside of hookups, I'm up front though don't call me a toxic geigh
