Feel that all dating apps nowadays are an absolute scam so curious if anyone here has actually had any success with dating apps and if so what app what is it?

    A decade or so ago? Yeah, totally, dating apps worked fine. Recently? No. Everyone wants to sell you something and they can’t do that if you actually meet someone, so it’s just constant “people totally like you, we swear, you just have to pay and we’ll show you who!” and bots. I got messages/intros (where it’s allowed pre-match) because I’m a woman and it’s borderline impossible not to if you have a pulse, but it was mostly from men who were way too old and/or people where the only thing we had in common was geography.

      I met my wife on tinder, we were living in two different country 80 km from each other but it worked.

      However it was almost a decade ago.

      Yes this is true, I met my partner on OKCupid about 7 years ago, and I was reading where now they have removed the expected partner responses from their questioning so it’s just like all the others. Enshitification.
