dating apps/websites?
 
do you use them? have you used them in the past?

Tsutarja June 15th, 2019 5:32 PM

I signed up on tinder as a joke one time and deleted it after an hour. like 5 people i know came to me the next day and said they saw me on it.

aside from that, not really

Steve Z June 15th, 2019 10:42 PM

I've used OK Cupid, POF, Tinder, MeetMe, Bumble. You name it, I've tried to find someone on it!
Personally OKC is the best designed(at least it was last time I used it, I've opted to meet people irl).

Sami June 15th, 2019 11:04 PM

Never have, never will

Not my thing really

ZeoStar June 17th, 2019 2:43 AM

I think the idea behind them is nice, and I've had family members use them. I'll probably never use one myself since I don't experience romantic attraction. Also if I did I would still prefer just meeting someone right away in person.

Sheep June 19th, 2019 5:43 AM

Not my thing. I much rather romance form over time through a friendship, rather than use a site where the end goal is the possibility of a relationship. Of course I won't discount that many nice relationships started off on these sites, but it just isn't for me. pc best dating site anyways

blue June 19th, 2019 6:24 AM

went on a tinder date once and it was awkward as hell so yeah no thanks. i'd rather just pull in a club tbh lmao.

User Anon 1848 June 19th, 2019 7:31 AM

No but similarly to Sheep I've gotten cozy with members on other sites that weren't meant to function as dating sites lol. It'd be nice to meet someone from my own state for once instead of halfway across the world. It's bittersweet at best if you can't interact in person. I'll probably give Tinder a shot eventually.

Yue Han June 19th, 2019 7:58 AM

About 10 years ago I would have agreed with people saying it’s ‘not my thing’ and that I’d never use them. Now I see it as just being a part of the world we live in. These days I think meeting someone from an app is seen as being just as normal as meeting someone from anywhere else and in fact I might go as far as to say in another 10 years time when you tell people how you met your significant other and there is a slight tone of surprise in the expression of the person you’re telling it may very well be from the fact you didn’t meet online/from an app rather than that you did.

I've used POF before, but never really got anywhere, I felt like it was just useless data on my phone at that point.

Also, I use Tinder, but the only thing I really use it for is advertising my IG in the bio. At first I wasn't sure why I even bothered considering that most women on the app only want one thing, but I figure its worth it if I'm able to get any nerdy or gamer girls to follow me.

Lumina October 28th, 2020 4:32 PM

I've never used one and probably never will. I much prefer to encounter people organically, rather than a website or app designed with the express purpose of hooking up with someone.

Neon Pink October 30th, 2020 9:07 AM

Ahahahahahahahahahaha! ......... No!

Roni November 1st, 2020 11:30 PM

I've never had the balls to try any of them out lmaooo I got my gf the "old fashioned way" of interacting with her in person. It really helped ofc that we were in the same course in college.

Caite-chan November 2nd, 2020 3:23 AM

I tried POF and it was just....weird. I also signed up on Eharmony but got tired of all the questions.

Figure November 2nd, 2020 8:31 PM

In a way Facebook was for me because my girlfriend came into the restaurant I was working at about 5 1/2 years ago and I recognized her from school. So that night I messaged her on FB asking how her meal was, we started talking and have been living together for over five years.

Tsutarja November 3rd, 2020 6:33 AM

It's still a no for me

Sami November 3rd, 2020 6:35 AM

same sentiment here, still never used it nor will I ever

too much of an hassle, though it does save me from being smacked by tools

Uecil November 3rd, 2020 7:48 AM

Nope. Don't intend too. Too much trouble.

ThatStuff!! November 7th, 2020 12:12 AM

Used, quit cuz I was too fat. I don't know about girls, but fat dudes don't stand a chance on any of those unless you look like Rick Ross :pause:

Use them only if you have ya ish together.

Setsuna November 17th, 2020 10:27 PM

I'm someone who's only really ever met people I've connected with online, though it's either been through friends or through social media. I've never been on any kind of dating site or app. I've never felt the need to and don't think I ever will, but I'll admit I have thought about what it could be like a couple times.

Jetien December 3rd, 2020 4:24 PM

I've used the vast majority of them, with OKC being preferred. I don't use any currently and don't really think I'd ever use any again, but if you're on the fence then go for it!

Palamon December 4th, 2020 10:27 PM

Never have, never will. I'm not the type of person who would chat with strangers unless I want to. That's rarely, if ever, these days. Dating strangers is also a literal no, so. No thanks.

Nick December 7th, 2020 5:18 PM

I'm probably going to hop on dating apps once a vaccine is out and the pandemic is settled a little more. Meeting new people working from home involves doing things like randomly going to bars (might end up doing that a couple times depending) and clubs (not likely gonna be doing that) and maybe being introduced by friends (unlikely), but I just moved and my friend circle is of 2-3 people.

Ys December 7th, 2020 6:23 PM

Dating sites are.. Weird. I get all awkward. Definitely prefer meeting someone in a more casual setting. That's why meeting people on forums work. You naturally get to talking with others who share interests. It's not based on the physical appearance of a person and there's no pressure of having chemistry with a complete stranger.

Bellsprout December 11th, 2020 8:59 PM

Yeah I have, I think they're fun. Best one I ever used was called Skout, but I don't think it exists anymore/became something else
