Dude, I'd get off the dating apps man. You aren't going to find quality there. Boyfriend #53 never wins. If your goals are similar to mind (a real wife and children), it's not gonna happen on an app, those women are trash.

I'm in a great relationship with someone I met on Match.

But I'm also not a millennial.

Age does have something to do with. The younger you are the more these apps are just meat markets and a way for some women to feel better about themselves. Us middle-aged people are seeking something different, and it does work online. We aren't going out much anymore. We aren't meeting anyone at a bar or a club or a social gathering. The women are on these apps for the same reason we men are: We've had failed relationships and marriages and are seeking something better, and let's see what happens online.

You do need to be attractive though. Sorry but it's the truth. You are primarily judged on your pictures. They don't need to be professional but at least in my age bracket if the man is taking shirtless bathroom selfies or likes to feature his baseball cap he's not getting responses from a woman seeking a genuine relationship and not a hook-up. Women need to be, well, attractive. That's subjective to a point but only to a point.

I mean the girl in this clearly has looks but a garbage personality. Not sure if she’s playing an exaggerated character for Tik Tok but if not, then it’s no surprise that a guy of comparable looks is going to ditch her for a girl that is just as pretty but not as obnoxious

Personality can compensate for looks and vice-versa. But yeah with dating apps it’s very easy to flaunt looks and much harder to express some personality. Having a good bio helps even though more people won’t read it than will

I disagree with Fiend in that even ugly people can find perfect lighting and angles for a good picture if they are good at taking pics of themselves, usually achieved by lots of (sad) practice. But then again, the better you get at this the more people might feel catfished when they meet in person. And, while this girl can coast on her looks, I think it’s profile suicide to have lists of “these are things I don’t like/want” in your bio. It makes you look high-maintenance and negative

I think PUA is a scam but I do believe if someone hired a pro photographer and writer to make a profile for them it would garner 10x+ as much attention as they could probably do themselves. NOT that I am recommending it, but it just shows that there is some skill to making a good profile IMO. Anyway you can still hate the sites tho I wouldn’t blame anyone

I signed up for some LOTR challenge where I get these cool medals if I run/walk (with me it’s gonna be running) a few hundred miles in a set time. I guess it’s tracked via the app using your phone’s pedometer and gps or something

Kinda feel scammed because it was $50 which I thought was for all the medals, the total mileage I would have to walk/run (see: run) is ~800ish miles in a year or so (very do-able for me) to earn every medal

Now I’m finding out that I only paid for the first medal, The Shire one, at like 145miles or something. Then I’d have to sign up for the rest. I’ll get the first and then see what kinda quality it is. Supposedly the medals are nice, but at $50/each seems like a rip. You get other stuff mailed at certain milestones but meh

That's pretty fking cool Unsung.
I went out to the pool for the first time this season today. Good Lord, it felt amazing to be back in my fins. Guys, if you've never seriously tried swimming with fins I highly suggest it. My entire lower body feels incredible rn.

Today I found out that my brother-in-law has been playing p99 for a year and neither of us knew the other was playing. Had no idea he was even into games.

Imagine if you found out you were arguing with him in OT this whole time lol

This is a real possibility. He's a cowboy hat wearing, oversized belt buckle Texan. I haven't talked politics with him before, but chances are greater than 50% that he leans conservative. My sister is quite liberal though, so could go either way.
