New town, made more friends in person, and have gotten laid more times, with people I met out and about.
But I’ve also made a couple of friends and gotten laid a few times from apps. Worth the $x a month, it’s less than one ticket to a good party or an evening’s worth of drinks at karaoke, and pays off at a similar rate per dollar, just more slowly.
(Unless you’re just looking for mediocre fumbling with someone who only cares about getting their dick off, then apps got ya)
How long ago? Before Match Group decided to make all of their products the same, OKC used to have an amazing algorithm that matched based on quiz answers. At some point, they scrapped all of that and turned it into another Tinder where quiz answers were deemphasized and swiping based on first profile picture is the main interaction method. All of their dating apps now use the same algorithm, which as many people have said, is tuned to keep you using the platform as long as possible, not provide you with high quality matches.
It’s designed to mismatch you, but does the right thing on accident.
But right now, I’d rather not. If someone were to say, assassinate Peter Thiel, then they can just put me on a leash and take me home, do whatever the fuck they want with me xD
Otherwise, I’d rather refrain both because of poor general health, and trust issues.
It is 100% meant to mismatch you to keep you on the app to make money. Start asking people who met people on apps and you quickly notice a pattern. The person they are with was not like any of the other people it matches you with.
It’s not that hard to match people. They are betting that two people won’t compare their apps after they get together. I have watched three couples in the same room compare their apps with each other, with all three realizing it only works by mistake.
Dating apps are designed to keep you single forever.
I can’t imagine ever using one.

Sometimes I wish I had a legit friend that I would actually like to fuck. That would be…something.
Unfortunately, none of them I’d like in that way.
You can still get lucky. I met my wife on Okcupid, but there was a ton of disappointment before then.

My cousin met his wife on tinder, he seems to regret that these days tho
It’s too late to swipe left.

My wife and I actually matched on 3 different sites, but things have definitely enshitified since.
That is great! That is what they are supposed to do.
The best part is she wasn’t even looking for a relationship, but we’re basically the same person so things just clicked.
So the app failed succeeded catastrophically. Nice!
