>>395714>>395729i’m 29 and recently got back on the apps after not having used them since 2016 and, to be honest, it’s grim. i don’t think any of the actually attractive men are looking for a relationship on the apps, and, maybe because i’m in the midwest, everyone else is bridge troll ugly. again, i’m in a suburb near a relatively major midwestern city, so ymmv, but in my experience the only guys in our age range on the apps are worthless. no degrees, no prospects, shit jobs, boring hobbies, fat, ugly, bland, boring, and above all else, straight up braindead. if you’re looking for a hookup you might stand a chance, but other than that i don’t really think it’s worth it. i’ve met one great guy on tinder but he was looking for a normie and that seems to be the case with any of the reasonable men available, they want a very normal girl to give them babies and if you deviate from that they’ll just make you a placeholder girl until they find someone they actually want to commit to. if you have the patience to deal with a younger guy i have found that men below the age of 25 feel really compelled to impress “older” women (kek) which can be charming compared to the way men in their late 20s/early 30s tend to treat women their own age. but zoomers have the emptiest little heads so there’s no real chance of emotional fulfillment there.
tl;dr i don’t think the apps are a real option for adult women who are looking for an actual relationship with a man that isn’t bottom of the barrel garbage. being on tinder has only inspired more rage towards men for me lol
