  • So many of us seem to get caught in the frustrations of dating apps (myself included). It's one thing to recognize that dating apps suck & another to actually figure out how to solve the problem. Here are a few guidelines and ways to meet & date people in REAL life.

    It’s always confusing how people will say that you should be single and others saying that love is the greatest thing. I think love is really comes down to luck and isn’t something you can really force

    I agree with everything you said. All of this stuff is ruining the aspect of long-term relationships:
    - Sex right away
    - Dating Apps
    - Lack of social skills
    We’ve been family oriented creatures for thousands of years and now we depend on technology to make everything happen for us. A smart phone will never replace human connection

    33 here and single! I appreciate the wholesome content. For me, my best relationships have been with people I have met by chance. The apps are very fake and superficial. The issue so many people have a horrible mindset when it comes to love and companionship. Very few respect marriage and many don’t respect relationships, it’s incredibly sad. We live in a society of depressed lonely people who can’t seem to find happiness

      Absolutely agree! Natural organic connections are real and not forced or coerced. Dating apps and speed dates and matchmakers all put people in boxes and try to organize and categorize them like products in a Walmart. People are too complex for that. It gives the illusion that a Hollywood soulmate is out there if you're willing to sift through enough "wrong" people but a real relationship is more about compromise and finding beauty in idiosyncracies and differences between you and your partner.

    I’ve never been on a dating app. My friends that use them say they’re just full of F-boys. Sometimes they really do want to meet someone but end up getting pushed into sex they don’t even want and feel like crap afterwards. Everyone just swiping looking for something better. Seems like an epic waste of time. Glad I’ve not gotten into them.

    Refreshing to hear a man talk about wanting a serious relationship. Guys get a bad rap for only wanting sex. The hook up scene hasn’t helped. I spent a couple COVID induced years on dating apps. There is a small % of men seeking long term. Once I got off apps my perspective shifted. Like I remembered that I could meet people everywhere I go. Going to the grocery store, get dressed up! Always look your best. Never know who will cross paths with us at Aldi’s.

    Lately on dating apps I’ve been meeting narcissists or men who just want to have sex. It’s gotten so bad I just can’t even try to meet men this way any more. They’re turning into sex monsters and they’re losing them selves in addiction. I’m happy to hear that there’s still men out there who don’t want that. Just deleted all my dating apps and will be looking to meet men in real life now. Thanks for the encouragement!

Like in life if u wanna “win” you have to be the best which most people dont believe so they act le they are and instead of it being true confidence its just toxic and fake and gross/rude. Anyways, gl meeting real people. Im sure someone is out there for you!

      These apps make 95% of of us feel sub-human and like we don't exist. This culture needs to stop. It ruined all dating.

    I'm only 19 and turning 20 this year, never dated or been in a relationship before and I am the last guy you'd find wanting hookups or caring only about sex.. I just want to find a normal girl my age who shares the same fundamental beliefs and some interests.. but no, over the end of 2022 up until early this year it's just been a miserable experience talking to girls and then shit not going well or trying to speak to girls but they randomly ghost you or take forever to reply for literally no reason, EVERY time they reply.. its just constant games that I have no emotional energy left for. It sucks.. I'm trying my best to be the best I can be, I work out at the gym, I practice good self care, I go for walks and I spend my time trying to grow a TH-cam channel but because my social anxiety is awful and I lack friends, I haven't had much of a support system to help get me into a working job so I can earn enough money or a group of people to go out with and spend time with.. basically I'm undesirable to most women nowadays.. they all care about money and status from what I've seen. That or they just have so many options and don't treat men like actual people.

    Deleting all my dating apps was hard. I used to be successful on apps 5+ years ago, now it seems impossible to even get 1 match a month. So now it's basically relying on chance encounters in the real world. I live in a smallish city area where there is really no good hangout spots or night life. I am a regular at a coffee shop and all I really see are married women or women with headphones in or their head stuck in a book. Just makes approaching or organic encounters difficult without coming off as a creep or forced.

    I 100% agree and would add one thing that bugs me in dating apps. Using dating apps destroys the opportunity to notice the hidden gems. Usually the most valuable and lasting relationships (romantic or friends) don't start by both being totally nuts about each other right from the start. It takes longer than that and by that it usually also lasts longer than the initial explode of interest. There's been so many times in my life that someone who I didn't even notice at first (at school or social circles etc.) slowly starts to get my attention and after awhile I'm totally engaged to that person. This literally cannot happen (at least for me) when using these apps because of course you will swipe right the MOST interesting looking people and neglect those who would propably eventually get your interest if you two would have a chance to interact in the real world.
    For example the first time I met one of my dearest friends (through other friend) I got totally angry to him because he seemed a total jerk. But after while we started to hang a bit through that other friend and I noticed that this new friend is actually a pretty nice and thoughtful guy. Now few years later he's one of my closest and most reliable friends I have. A total hidden gem of a friend who I would have totally ignored If we would have been meeting through some app.

    • @melissam6037
      @melissam6037 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah I can’t really tell anything about someone from a dating profile. You can’t tell what they are like, pictures don’t capture a personality, anyone who I’ve met online has seemed totally different (sometimes better sometimes not) than what it seemed from a profile. So I have no idea how to figure out who would be remotely compatible based on a profile. I’ve given up honestly.

    I so agree ... I always found apps to be "forceful" and not organic....everyone has expectations and they have to be immediate. Abundance of choice too which ends up all being superficial.

    I can attest to this. I used to use the dating apps for at least eight or nine years. And I can count on one hand the amount of actual decent women that I actually met on there. I'm actually good friends with one of them. But for the majority of people my age, I'm 30s, it does seem like many people are just looking for hookups are always looking for something better.. the dating sites used to actually be pretty good back in the day. But it's completely different now. I'm just tired of it. I miss the days when people just met up in person. So I deleted all the apps, as hard as it was, because I genuinely wanted to get better at my social skills and meet people in real life. Is it hard? Yes. But I believe it's worth it in the end. Plus, now you have to worry about people complaining about you and getting you "banned". I don't remember that being a thing.

    I’ve met a few really nice men on dating apps, but it is very draining. I’m now taking a break and have been regularly going to the gym hoping to meet someone more organically that is compatible with me. We cross paths with people for a reason and to learn something. I’m 32. You have some good points. Definitely wait to have sex because it truly clouds your vision of who the person is (actions vs words and compatibility).

      Why don't you approach them instead? The genuine shy guy (usually a hidden gem) will appreciate you making the first move. But you have to "read" the situation correct. When I was single, I would approach guys by cracking a joke or giving a real compliment. Accidentally touching his back whilst grabbing your drink in a bar... Don't be obnoxious or too obvious.

    I'd argue most men genuinely want a relationship and to find a woman they can love, but most of those men simply don't make the cut in what women want now due to having so many options.
    Women literally look for reasons to reject you and if they find the slightest critique like maybe you're a Libra, don't like the color of your shirt, or you did a weird pose in one of your photos, they immediately reject you. If you approach them and are nervous, they'll just think you're a creep or weird.
    If you're not a jacked 6 foot 6 figure dude, you're in for a VERY rough time in the dating scene.

      Good luck with that one.
      It's only genius if you have £50k to spend on course fees. How many people on that course? And a bit too old to be hanging around the NUS bar.
      Besides, after a hard day at work to pay your mortgage and bills, you will only have time to be studying, no time for dating.
      In dance clubs you are limited to the members in that club, who also may not necessarily be single. Most female orientated clubs and activities are female only.
      My gf goes to two such classes and there's only 3 single women in one group of 30 and they're approaching 60 🤣.
      The other group again has around 30 members and there was one young single girl who just got engaged.
      You want single women. Dating app!
      You want quality single women. High end, paid subsciption dating app.

    This vid was on point 💯. It’s almost SCARY how much ppl rely on electronics & technology.
    Dating apps & social media are VIRTUAL REALITIES. It’s better to meet folks in the real world.
    You can meet a guy or girl ANYWHERE. Men/women are literally everywhere.
    •They’re at the Gas Station
    •They’re at Walmart & Target
    •They’re at the Mall
    •They’re at the Gym
    •They’re at Church
    •They’re on college campuses
    •They’re at coffee shops ☕️
    Of course, they’re at bars and clubs (not recommended, if you’re looking for a mature relationship).
    Bars and clubs are only good if you’re looking for a one-night stand. 💯
    Unless you’re at a sports bar of course. Nice men/women are usually there. 🏀 🏈 😉

      I think a good approach here would be to do something like a brainstorm/mind mapping. Take a big sheet of paper and write a question, "where can you find people?" And just write down all kinds of places. Then think, if it is a place where you can strike up a conversation, where it could be more or less appropriate. Then think what places are interesting/seem interesting to you. if it is an unusual place that you normally wouldn't go to, maybe it is worth going? Then think what kind of person you want to meet. Will they likely to be there? Man, I like this idea. I will save it for future 😅

I'm a fairly good looking guy and I can't manage more than say 10-20 matches at any given time. Where is 1500 and where is 20? And those 20 ghost you if you say anything remotely that they don't like or don't share their opinion or don't feed their egos. Bottomline - Dating apps are useless for ordinary guys.
