Deleting OLD never felt better!

That's the feeling of no longer lowering your standards and removing yourself from LVM's 'potential lays catalogue' which is all OLD is to them.

I keep saying FDSers should boycott OLD and leave it to the LVM's and pickmes as HVM are NOT on old. The rare 1% that temporarily use it before either quickly finding someone or deleting it out of discomfort are not worth the 99% of LVM one would have to dig through to find them.

People dated before apps and they can still date without apps. You're worth soo much more than that and I'm super proud of you for realizing it ❤️

Ever wonder why failed relationships and infidelity are at an all time high? You can thank the dawn of the internet and the abundance of “choice!”

Back in the 80s, if you met someone, you met them organically. You were more likely to have a partner commit to you (not saying that infidelity didn’t exist back then). People were in relationships longer. There was no grass is greener mentality.

OLD has constructed unrealistic dating expectations and killed any semblance of a traditional courtship.

Everything I hear about these apps make them sound like a total self confidence crusher and a store box for men lying and/or with no social skills. Well done for getting out of that circle!

And it only gets better from here!! There will be “lulls” but remember that they will pass, and you WILL start meeting people in real life! It ALWAYS happens eventually. New people come along all the time, especially if you stay open to it! Remember that there is NO reason to ever give a disgusting STRANGER your time and attention, it would be better to do literally ANYTHING else. You’ve got this!!

Yaaasss Queen! So happy for you!

As an aside, I’m about to make my getaway too!

So far, I’ve deleted almost everything except for one app. Despite my friends irl telling me to broaden my horizons and join more apps, telling me that I won’t find anyone sticking to one app, but the truth is, I’m waiting for everything to open up, so I can meet people irl.

Hopefully, when this is all over, I’ll get to go downtown, have a glass of wine/champagne and stare at art again. These places usually weed out all the low effort and lazy people since they have to pay money to get in and I get a chance to dress up!

I felt this after deleting Tinder. Still have Hinge due to slightly higher quality men. Key word, slightly.

I want to delete it, but I work in a small office of mostly women, and do not do any sports or other activities besides yoga which is mostly women. The chances of meeting a man naturally are pretty slim for me.

Good on you for doing something that boosts your self esteem.

Personally, I see OLD as a tool that's fairly challenging to use, but has its place. There are definitely HV people on it, but your discernment has to be off the charts to not waste your time in any stage there.

I think it's a great idea to invest in building a real life social network and get comfortable with approaching guys in person.
