I rarely ever use dating apps. I don't enjoy the whole system, and usually the people i find there aren't exactly the ones i wished to date. I mainly use IG. I have a nice amout of followers, nice photos, since photography is one of my hobbies and when i see someone interesting i might DM her. This is what i always did before the OLD, but face to face. I saw someone and approached. Sending a DM is the same shit, but online. I often add and contact strangers. People rarely respond negatively. Sometimes they're interested, sometimes they are not. Now, obviously, this isn't a good idea for everyone. But if you have a nice profile with a decent number of people added, magical things can happen.
Now, i know some women(and probably men) are gonna say something like "Ohhh, it's creepy to send DM's to people, social media isn't for dating, i don't want you sending me messages". I've heard this many times on Reddit. I think most of the time people are just angry that not everyone wants to follow their rules. Well, guess what? There's nothing creepy about approaching someone. That's called life. That's what has always happened. People approached each other in order to meet. At bars, supermarkets, coffee shops, streets. You name it. There is nothing criminal or morally wrong about that. You don't like it? Well, too bad the world doesn't revolve around you. Maybe you should learn how to deal with the fact that you live in a society and can't control everyone. Just deal with it. I repeat: DEAL WITH IT.
Basically, Social Media apps are better than dating apps IMHO for the following reasons:
1- First off all, in dating apps you know for a fact everyone is there looking for something. To me that turns me off a little bit, because it's essentially a meat market. There is no surprises there, there is no spontaneity. Everything is predictable and the person you're talking to is someone who decided they wanted to go on a date and went looking for it. I prefer when things just happen. If i'm on IG, i'm not there to find women. I'm there for other reasons. But sometimes someone might catch my attention. And we start talking. And maybe she is also on dating apps, but maybe she is not. Maybe she isn't the type of girl who goes around looking for dick. At least there is that possibility. Everything is just more natural.
2- You can know more about everyone before contacting them. Social Media provides you with very little information, and most of the time you can't even validate that information. But have you ever seen a girl's IG profile? Most of the time it has her whole life in there. You can often just look at it and decide whether or not she is worth your time.
3- You can show a lot more about yourself. You just don't have the same opportunity on Tinder and similar apps of showing what you're all about as you do on social media. Everything on dating apps is a lot more shallow. You're supposed to judge and be judged based on very little information. That isn't a good model.
4- You have a lot more opportunities to approach. If you follow a girl that caught your eye, you can wait for the right moment to send her a PM. You can wait for her to post a Story that provides a good conversation starter.
5- You can talk to her without needing her approval first like you need on Tinder and similar apps. That's usually how life works. You can say "hi" to someone. You can say "hi" to anyone. It's absolutely retarded to expect attraction to be a first sight type of thing. A lot of relationships started after one of the parties insisted for a while. This is a fact. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. A lot of times people aren't immediately attracted to one another. This is a fact. This is real life. Tinder absolutely murders what real life is all about. It basically transforms people into products.
If you don't agree, that's ok. I've met girls on dating apps in the past, but i can honestly tell you that social media has been around 20 times easier to me. And the best evidence i have for myself is this:
I've met girls that i first saw on Tinder. We didn't match. A reaaally wanted them though, so i found them on IG. Guess what? We started talking, they liked me and we dated.
So....they don't like me on Tinder but they like me on IG? Do you mean, Tinder is trash? Ok then.
