Don’t need dating apps for me to find out lol
According to statistics 90% of men find out they are unattractive.
*how unattractive they are to women on dating apps
I didn’t need dating apps to know I was hideous, but they did make the fact irrefutable and concrete.
All I need is a mirror or a public place
I’m not ugly and I don’t do well on apps
I still to this day don’t understand attraction, I’ve been called ugly and hot but when I ask people why they think that it’s always “idk you just are”
As a girl who knows guys that are attractive and still say they struggle on apps- I don’t think this is really true. I think it’s true it makes guys FEEL ugly. But simply because there are wayyyyyyy more men than women on dating apps, so women are able to be more picky and most men won’t get many matches at all because there just isn’t enough women.
I’ve always known I’m unattractive but going on dating apps made me realize that I’m also old now.
I set a five year younger and older range and when the women closer to my age had kids they were college aged or older. I have no problem dating a woman with kids but it really drove home how old I am
My power of self-delusion exceeds the internet.
I’ve never had success with dating apps, and I’ve never had trouble meeting people irl. It’s certainly not my personality, so idk.
For some it’s the other way around…
Dating apps at the age of 38 was nothing like dating in my mid twenties.
Dating apps are pretty brutal for everyone. Most women will get flooded with dick pics and stalkers, and then because of this attention, the women are then competing for the top profiles in guys because they feel with all the attention they can be choosy. Not that any of this is the fault of the women. But if anybody were wondering if they are missing out by not being on online dating, I say you are not. The minute you forget about looking for a partner, people will come in real life.
I knew something like that would happen, so I put off using dating apps for the longest time.
Now I’m actually using them, and it’s going exactly how I expected and it does not feel good
I started to realize my level of attractiveness by who people tried to set me up with.
I don’t consider myself to be attractive, but I also don’t think I’m ugly. When I was using dating apps I almost never got any matches. Like maybe 4 or 5 over the course of several years. Fortunately my last match ended up working out. We’re celebrating our 4 year wedding anniversary next month.
most males find out in middle school.
OP, I’m sorry your mom lied to you.
This isn’t really a clear way to state what’s happening. What they’re finding out is that a guy that’s a 7 is only going to get matches with 6’s and below because women date up from their objective level of attractiveness. My advice to you. Get off dating apps. Approach a women in person. Studies have been done that show women do this exponentially more on dating apps because they’re being fed so many choices. Statistically you’re much better off approaching a women In person. I barely ever get matches on apps but have great success just approaching a women and asking for her number and the majority of the time it leads to a first date.
I definitely didn’t need a dating app. Primary school was plenty enough.
Thanks for making me reminisce today
It doesn’t matter how attractive you are if you’re just another dude holding a fish
Not really, for too many reasons to explain in one comment.
Dating apps are the single worst environment for male mental health and body image as well as the single greatest breeding ground of narcissistic play “alpha males” and distorted standards for women’s perception of “average” and “attractive” men.
The odds on dating apps are highly against normal guys, they need you to pay for visibility and a higher chance for matches. Also women get a ton of likes and can literally cherry pick the most attractive ones.
How many think they’re unattractive and find out that they’re pretty well off?
I just gotta see a picture with me and that does it.
Some women, too.
If you’re a woman and you aren’t getting any swipes…you uggy.
Source: ugly woman (38) who tried dating apps and has resigned to a future full of cats and family assuming I’m a lesbian. I’ve literally never been on a date. No one has ever asked me to go on one. Ever. I got personality for days and it’s all a waste.
