    The thing about these dating apps is that you aren't actually supposed to find love on them. If you do, they lose a potential paying customer. Your chances are better going outside and meeting people IRL

      @@2010Failbrids They do meet online a lot, but actual relationships that go somewhere don't start on Tinder and the like.
      You're more likely to find these on online forums, reddit subs, etc. Places that filter for things like common interests.
      Solid romantic relationships start with solid friendship. If you can see yourselves just hanging out it ain't gonna work long term.

      I mean it's an extremely low chance yes. But it does happen where people meet on tinder and get married or have a long lasting relationship. And that does still bring in potential customers if they feel comfortable enough saying they met on tinder, then people would take that as they should use tinder more.

      So as a man, you have 3 things working against you or more. 1. The fact that most women find most men as below average or they are just on the app for validation. 2. There are less woman on the app than men. 3. The company is deliberately hurting your results to push you into paying money.

      Only if you keep insisting and you are a creep about it. Otherwise no, you cannot get arrested for harassment, nor will anyone call the cops on you for asking a girl out once. It has never happened and it will never happened, except for the "for real bro trust me" stories in incel forums about something that happened to someone's cousin "fr fr'.

    Why do people pay for tinder? Simple Loneliness really eats at people. I mean its not like the decentralazation of everything helped. All the people i know live to far away to properly go out with. The hardest things is acepting that you will die alone but its defenetly cheaper.
    Sure joust talk to somone. Real easy with social anxiety. And lets not forget the spitefull women who find joy in acusing men of sexually harasing them if you say hello to them.

I tried cold approaching women, none of it resulted in a date but no one was rude to me in fact they were very polite in rejecting me.
