I encourage you to to go ahead and install any number of the dating apps. However, once you match a few women - give them back the exact same energy they give you. I will eat my shoe if you can get past the superficial "hi", "how's it going", etc. stage.

I recently installed a couple apps out of boredom/hornyness. Then I was quickly reminded of how much the onus is on the men to carry the conversation. You are expected to be the ones who are funny and interesting enough to keep her talking to you. Meanwhile - she's got at least half-dozen other guys competing for her attention at any given time?

I then deleted those apps and decided that "relieving that itch", and then working on my drone was a better way to spend my time. I will die on this hill.
