I know it's popular to hate on dating apps, and they are not perfect. I do not enjoy the flaking, the ego boosting, etc. They need fixing for sure, lots of issues, bots, matching and no replies.
However i've been using dating apps since Tinder really took off 10+ years ago, and would like to give my thoughts on why I don't mind them that much.
1. As an introverted male, dating apps have gotten me massive success with dating and opening up with women. I don't cold approach and don't go out much, so dating apps have helped me a lot. 2. Dating apps are convenient and I can swipe on the tread mill, on the toilet, at work breaks. 3. I always have the option to turn them off and take a break. 4. Personally, it's a good mirror tool. Not getting a lot of matches? Maybe it's time to finally go on that diet and lose some pounds. Maybe I should change my hair cut or how I approach things. It's good for self improvement. 5. If a woman's profile is actually filled out and unique (I will admit it's getting less common), it's refreshing to be able to connect over common interests.
Anyway I know they are not perfect, I get really frustrated myself sometimes.. but they've also helped me tremendously. My suggestion would be, if you're getting frustrated, please delete them and take a break. You can enjoy life alone sometimes.
Also, if you're having trouble with one app, use a different one. I have little success on Tinder, but my experience on Hinge has been 100x better. Night and day difference. #relationships source
