I chatted a filipina on cmb
moved her to ws within 1.5 hours (because she replies me immediately on cmb there)
we met on the same day
and proceed to her own renting place and fark her

you dont linger on dating apps too much
ask a girl out when there's a window

I think it's fair to expect within <=24 hours in general, because there has to be at least one point in time in a day where you look at your phone for extended period.

That said, I was engaged in a weekly essay writting with one of my matches on the app. Certainly not a normal case even for me, I was on the verge of cutting off and gave him an ultimatum. He panicked and agreed for a meetup, then explained that he was stuck in a busy ass job where he worked 12-16 hours a day. We're in official relationship for 2 years and counting now

hi im new here.

as a 40 year old im having trouble to find partner.

i dont have any fb, ig or any social media. i never interested on those things coz my life also is not very social.

is this a problem?

unker tried tinder litmatch and few others but seemed hard to continue the conversation.

how can unker find date among likeminded young people and not look creepy?

Why do you think the conversations died?

Easiest way to find like minded people is to join social activities or meetings where you do something specific together. Some have recommended dance classes, you can also try language classes, sports activities, basically those that provides ample space for interaction. Drawing class not so much.

As for not having social media, it isn't really a problem but people may wonder why, so that itself is a topic to talk about. It'll do you good to socialise more to learn the social cues and practise your own speech/socialising skills. If you lack friends, you may over-rely on this potential partner because you may focus too much on the person, and/or expect too much from the same person. Generally, people may also find it off putting because it becomes easier to assume that you have a problem e.g. can't socialise, behavioural or personality issue etc.

there's no trouble. Only limitations that you set for yourself
Ive met up over 300+ females (irl) from age 16 to 50 over the past 10 years

Hi Uncle, I am one of your peers. Perhaps you can try speed dating or dating agency. To be honest, I don't really like the experience of dating apps as I am just an ordinary uncle. Dating apps are mostly about materialistic stuff and good look. If you do not belong to these "two world", using dating apps is just a waste of time.

Bro, this guy is a confirmed troll, as you can see here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f...ost&p=109718641

Anyway, I guess you're right in a way that dating app is a waste of time, but I'm skeptical about dating agencies, as I don't believe in paying a hefty sum and they match you up for just a few ladies. I've heard enough stories of people paying thousands and meeting supposedly "curated" selection of ladies, but it doesn't work out because "no spark" or worse, those ladies were paid by the agencies. The less you succeed, the more you have to pay them to get more tries, plus it doesn't sound like you have a choice of ladies? I might be wrong... But I just that dating apps, while they have similar business models (you fail = you continue to be customer), at least it's a numbers game where you can "farm" your way out.

Maybe someone with a success story from dating agencies can chip in...

I am skeptical about dating agencies too but have you considered speed dating?
I am thinking of joining for the experience and maybe trying something that is out of my comfort zone.

Sorry, I don't need that for now haha... Touch wood it remains that way 🙏

I think no harm trying things out with a reasonable investment... Even if you don't find someone there, you might learn something about yourself or from others

you dont need to join agencies or events
you can just technically walk up to anyone in public places and start a conversation

the world is your playground
only you limit yourself.

Young women fall out of love with dating apps
Gen Z is a priority for Tinder and Bumble but threats and unsolicited material from potential suitors often turn users off

Regardless he is a troll or not, I think the info I gave above worth a discussion for others.

Yes. Many years back, unethical agencies did operate to scam people but there are genuine ones still in business until today. Just that I think their business is getting worse since dating apps have become so convenient and popular. Anyway, they have their selling points published in details in their website. It is up to the consumer to decide and scrutinize. As for what you mentioned "curated", I believe counseling could be value added whereas training could be a bit overdo and unnecessary.

Dear all, I just joined Tinder. Saw many photo of woman (usually turn their back) and other photo like beach, etc. Is this genuine looking for relationship profile? Or this is a scam? Or looking for ONS? Or LGBTQ+? Please share your experience.

Why dont you try out sugarbook? there will also do livestream which you can see the real them before meeting them in person.

they use algorithm to alter your perception
so that you will keep spending money on apps to get attention
