Dating apps are dead (or quickly dying)
Everybody I’ve been talking to lately about dating apps, whether male or female, appears to have the same sentiment: they’ve gotten a lot worse. Match quality has gone down and it seems users are generally a lot less active. For reference I’m in NYC but I’ve heard the same from friends in other major cities. This got me to do some searching and I found these two recent articles on the subject: 1. https://www.bustle.com/wellness/dating-apps-have-gotten-worse-hinge-tinder-bumble-gen-z-millennials 2. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/opinion/dating-apps-hinge-tinder-bumble.html How do you meet people in person? I’m Gen-Z so dating apps are all I’ve ever known. Bars and clubs aren’t a great place to meet someone if you don’t drink / are looking for something more serious. TC: $416K #dating #relationships

People have been meeting in person much longer than apps have been around. It’s a mindset. You will need to be friendly and social and approach people if you’re a man. Put yourself in situations where people are having fun. I deleted apps a few months back. Best decision ever.
are you m or f?
Thank you Biden
Join clubs, pick up a hobby. Check out meetup. Be the guy who picks up knitting and meets his wife via her grandma or aunt. Depending on where you live, some high end grocery stores have cooking classes. Community colleges have dance lessons and wine tasting classes. You might meet divorced or older married people who know single people. Broaden out your social circles because quality people quit apps due to too much nonsense. If you have friends, pick up playing sports together. If you’re at events and you see a solo woman you think is attractive, say hello.
it wont die. there is no other way to meet for introverts
Dating apps are designed to keep you single and getting you addicted to the app
And they’ve worked. We have an entire generation who evaluates their dating life as their experience on the apps. Ask someone how dating is going and they’ll bring up their “matches.” It’s stupid.
