More like trying to find high quality food in the section of the supermarket that sells near-expired food. The food are not chosen by other customers for a reason.

Agreed, OLD is trash. However, I will say that out of boredom and on the strong endorsement of a good friend, I recently signed up for a dating app with a really expensive monthly subscription fee that’s marketed towards professionals where men are required to include their height, income, and job title (among other things) and it has been really enjoyable in the sense that it’s filled the same void that Fine AF Fridays did where it reminds me that I AM actually attracted to men. So far everyone has been well mannered and no one has been even slightly sexual or tried to get my phone number. It’s been refreshing to chat with guys who are legit sexy, have real jobs, and who don’t make me uncomfortable.

Again, OLD is shit so I don’t expect to meet my soulmate on here, but it’s been a completely different experience from the nasty fuckboys on Hinge who think they’re gods gift to women bc they make $100k and don’t look inbred so Pickmes line up to be their FWB

The idea of online dating is to get you to come back, hence them excluding and including some preference behind a paywall. The very thing that could bring two compatible people you cannot do unless you pay. A hard going Christian could match with me, why do I even see him I am agnostic and detest organized relationship. It doesn't help that men outnumber women on apps, therefore you will be overwhelmed with the nothingness you get. 9/10 those matches won't be compatible with you, and you will get annoying having to vet so many people if you aren't up for the task.

My thought OLD works for some but for most it doesn't. If you are the some great, but if you are the most don't allow dating apps to cripple you. Always have different ways of seeking out a partner. Hobbies, clubs, gyms, a friend who can give you a hook up, school, etc.

The only time i went out on a date with someone i met thru bumble i fell and broke my foot and he didnt even got out of the car to help me stand. That was the first and last date. I deleted my account. Never tried any other dating app, never will.

The recent privacy breach on Bumble is what has solidified my decision to never use OLD again.

I tried online dating six years ago for about 3 months. I quickly worked out it was full of cheaters or men too cheap to pay for a sex worker. I have a fake account Tinder profile that I use every now and then to troll gross, misogynistic men. It's a hobby x

But I work in nursing with only women and with covid my social life to meet strangers is in the toilet 🥲 I can’t meet men who aren’t patients any other way

Just ended a long-term relationship and will NEVER go back to OLD. OLD gets me absolutely nowhere each and every time.

Funny point, but the stock of food in the fridge of online dating is actually always changing.

Like browsing the racks at the discount store. Except at the store you might actually find something useful.

Been OLD free for 2 years. It truly is like opening that fridge door. The sad part is the same pathetic people are always there saying the same shit like they have a clue.

My standards have gone way up. And you know you’ve leveled up when you get the stupid texts from people you’ve deleted many moons ago saying “hey, how’s it going. I take great pride in making them feel regret for ever thinking I would be interested after all this time.

The number you have reached is in service, they just don’t fuck with you no more!

ussr_ftw · 2021-09-05T22:58:45+00:00

Sadly I do see if I can find new food in the fridge.

There’s always the same guys on it. My friend has been trying to battle her post-covid breakup loneliness by getting on and off these apps every few months hoping to find someone to date, she said she went out or otherwise talked with every guy she saw there at some point and next time she’s on it they’re still there 🤡
