Voilentmonkey and a script.

I'd like go to a speed dating event. The idea of meeting people in that pressure environment and trying to see through the social mask they put on for the event seems interesting to me.

Sort of a series of quick fire interrogations. :sneaky:
 
These apps have really messed up with the confidence of many men, lol.

Women on average just have to go on these apps and they will get matches (several of them) without much effort and with very average pics (unless they are overweight).

Unless you are an 8/10 guy, these apps aren't going to work and even some 8/10 guys struggle because they don't have good photos.

At the end of the day though, it's equally hard for both genders on these apps. Many women have also given up because they are looking for relationships and the average guy just wants to hookup and can't hold a convo.

Women though have it a lot easier if they are just looking to hookup.

If you are average looking (most guys and most people are), it's best to not put too much expectation or devote too much time to these apps and rather try and focus on developing yourself socially more. The apps are largely superficial as people can't see your personality.

IMO, the bio is largely overrated. Yes, you should write something just to show you are a decent guy but that's about it.

There are other ways to meet women online other than dating apps. Discord is pretty popular apparently.

For the average guy, I'd agree that it's better.

The apps are messed up now because they are also saturated with guys and women have so many options about 80% of guys will get frustrated using them.

They used to be a lot better back in the day. The only way to solve the issue is to change the algorithms or something.

Bumble tried to get around it by creating the system in which the woman always has to message first but it appears that even that is failing.

Unless you are a top-tier guy, a large number of those are probably prostitutes, scammers or girls looking to promote their IG or only fans, lol. I guess Tinder allows their profiles to pass because they inevitably encourage more guys in situations like yours to take paid membership.

Only a fraction of guys get those numbers organically.

If they making money with their current models they don't have to change anything, at the end of the day these are private companies.

I'm a female...

Got frustrated with the app and the constant promos to pay. So I deleted it.
 
Holy crap, when did Tinder prices go up? R880 for a month, looks like Tinder is the one getting all the action, no lube.
