Isn't the entire point of the profile and matching system to filter incompatible people out? Why can I match with 50 people and not a single one wants to get a coffee or something after exchanging a few pleasantries? Everybody hates these things and yet they refuse to do anything IRL to get off them. Is there some Manchurian candidate activation codeword that I'm missing? I feel like everyone treats this shit solely as an ego booster and actually gets pissed off that anyone tries to interact with them. How do you meet people in hellworld if you don't drink?
Me after dozens of dead-end back-and-forths that lead to nowhere despite having shared interests and presumably being attracted to each other since we matched: 
Hmm, maybe it's the extreme commodification of relationships and atomization under capitalism that prevents you from getting anywhere with this garbage 
Nope, must be because @SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net didn't say my favorite "The Office" quote and send me a playlist with 50 of the greatest songs I've never heard that made me instantly fall in love with them. I have no idea what other people expect from these things but I'm not doing labor for someone that I don't even know is real. Thanks for reading my rant, any advice is appreciated.
Man I don't even get to the conversation stage most of the time. I get a lot of likes in tinder, but its like 99% older burlier men that I don't match with. I only really like twinks, but I guess I've been classed as the twink
. It's even harder matching with women. The ratio of men:women is so severe that I feel like I'm just a part of the void. I've had more conversations on hinge, but none have lead to anything in the real world and one of us always just ends up ghosting the other and unmatching. The only caveat I have is that I've only started using apps after leaving the US, so the language barrier may be more of a challenge here idk.
fr if you're looking for men it's like an all you can eat buffet, but 9/10 items on the buffet will give you severe food poisoning
I don't think that's specific to dating apps either lololol
