Interestingly I think I had the opposite experience, in that I found only a small minority of people worth swiping right for and even then still managed a good match ratio.
I'd always rated myself quite low before trying Tinder, but it gave me a much better perspective on my datability. I haven't used it in a while now, thanks to lockdown ending meetups, but I've since partnered with someone who I previously would have considered out of my league.
- gbersac 5y agoAre you a woman? Because dating -espcially online dating- is much more favorable to women. Men usually have the opposite experience.
- sokoloff 5y agoThough I met my wife offline, I did some online dating before that. I also have some close female friends who were doing it and I think the initial contacts are skewed heavily in favor of women getting initial responses (prompted or unprompted) but from their stories, I’m hard pressed to conclude that the process is overall much more favorable. I think everyone has something valid to complain about in dating: offline, online, and hybrid.
- AlecSchueler 5y agoNo, I'm a man, early 30s and not particularly attractive.
- d883kd8 5y agoWhat's your profile (images/bio) like?
- BeniBoy 5y agoSame anecdotal experience here. Average looking man, took the time to fill a profile, maybe one right swipe a day, 50% match, two real-life meeting and one turned into a relationship. It's not always the warzone some people make it look to be, at least in my country (Europe) and for my age (early 30s).
