Whats your success story using Dating apps?

14 comments

1. I’ve never gotten anything out of a bunch of them and yet I still somehow have some self-esteem left. I consider that a success story.

2. 90 matches when I joined tinder.. just for fun. I don’t use apps to meet women.

   50 on bumble

3. I have many.

   I met my current girlfriend on OKCupid. I met my girlfriend before her on Tinder. At least 2 of my previous exes before those were from OKCupid too. Otherwise I’ve had countless dates, one that turned into a very brief FWB and the rest were just dates that didn’t carry on into anything else.

   That’s all over the space of about 10-15 years or something.

4. 4 years on a lot of them and WAY too much spent on subscriptions.

   Finally found someone after moving oversee but by pure luck.

   Unless you are exceptionally good looking and/or have photographer skills, I would consider going out more and being more social (like going to the gym, RP bar or whatever you fancy) to be a MUCH better investment, be it of you time or money

5. Met my girlfriend on Bumble, we’ve been together 4 years now and I know I’m gonna marry her one day. Had other dating apps in the past and never had the premium paid versions. Sometimes it just takes time

6. Super liked a girl who was like 50 miles Away because she was pretty and had a pic from a Ren faire in her profile.

   We’re a year on, madly in love, and have talked about marriage.

7. Had a lot of matches on tinder and several dates, 3-4 years ago. Tried to get back on after deleting my account and the algorithm has changed so much my profile gets buried and get zero matches

8. Met several women on Match and OKCupid, got a few relationships and several amazing sexual exeperiences, and finally, I found the incredible woman who is now my wife and the mother of my two kids.

9. I once had a tinder account. Got no matches. Turned my name into Hagrid, pretended to be him just for fun. That’s when i got matches. Then i got banned.

   Hagrid is sexier than i was.

   This is 20kg ago so i hope women like me now. But I’m not interested in trying again.

10. I’ve been using them for about a decade now and Ive been on hundreds of quick vibe check dates and dozens of follow up real dates. I truly enjoy them.

11. I have had only one date which sucked, a couple were meh, and the rest have been good. I haven’t had that many dates but that’s not important, quality matters more.

12. Had great luck with OKC and Tinder for everything from FWBs to genuine relationships. The apps are utterly dehumanizing, and you have to learn not to take shit personally, but they were certainly easier than trolling the bars.

13. I’ve had 2 relationships from dating apps lasting 13 and 9 months respectively. I’ve also been on dates with 7 or 8 women in the past 6 months. Wouldn’t necessarily call them success stories though as I made the choice to stop seeing all of them for one reason or another.

    Dating apps have created such a brutal environment for trying to meet women, from my experience a lot of the people on them are there for validation, and the ones who actually want a long term relationship either have things they still need to work on or we aren’t compatible.

    I have “success” with dating apps but only to the extent of matching with people and going on dates. Finding quality people is the struggle.

14. Hahahahaha!
