rand32 Posted November 8 Posted November 8 A few days ago I was discussing with a friend why it is much harder to find a hookup or date using online apps or sites than just 3-4 years ago. My idea is simple: I am getting older. No matter I good look, have some other preferences and so on. Friend told me to read post about online dating reset, In some moment it makes sense that hookup or date online game is changed in past years: sites and apps works worst than ever. You need to pay various credits and subscriptions, still with minimal chances to meet someone. Also, my impression is that most apps/sites have no goal to find person for you. I think they just want you to stay as much as they want so you can pay for subscriptions again and again. So we would close that discussion if he didn't asked me do I see same change in my real life? That was interesting because in real life, in my ages I have better results than ever. Probably it comes with confidence, probably it comes with expirience. I am confused, did hookup online and date omline culture is changed so chances for males are lower than ever? Or this is just my expiriece? If you have, Experiences, opinions, "theories" about this?

I can say the same and also notice plenty of good things coming my way, unfortunately Trump's tariffs spoil experience to a degree when comes to an income side, but that;s just nuisance, not a problem.

jimmie50 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago My only experience using an app was the recent trip to Bangkok. I found Grinder to be useful for hook-ups. When I think of apps, I cannot imagine they are really good for serious dating or relationships. From my perspective, they are more about casual hook-ups. I had great success with online dating sites 15-20 years ago. That is how I met my ex and we were together for 10 years, but I have not checked out an online dating site recently to know how they compare or how successful you can be these days. As has been discussed in other posts here regarding communication, back to basics and face to face conversation is much better than talking via apps, text, etc. Quote
