    The third one is pretty weird, it’s just the default way to meet people now.

    The other two are pretty straightforward.

      Tinder is the worst possible way to get to meet people, unless you’re at least a 9/10 guy or a woman who just wants to hook up, nothing more. At least that’s been my experience, both using the app and talking to friends who have. Meaningful connections are rare.

      My profiles had fun and active pics, jokes, preferences, favorites, dealbreakers, and honesty. But I found the apps so damn boring and disconnecting that I’d forget when I’d occasionally have a conversation. I couldn’t get excited at all. It only made me depressed. While I know part of that is on me, it ain’t all me. I decided one dystopian corpo shouldn’t have a monopoly on romance and deleted my accounts.

        I think Hinge is the only one not owned by one of the online dating conglomerates.

        I agree it kinda sucks, but I just don’t meet many women in my day to day life, so it’s the best option for me.
