I always assume it's people my age (41) on these forums because it seems like FB groups or Twitter or whatever else app is out there I'm not familiar with, seems to attract more of the younger people.

I used to help run a fan forum for an NFL team I used to like. We started it around 2004 and it's still in existence today (although I no longer gaf about that team so I rarely visit) and 80% of the member base is guys who have been posting there since the beginning. We used to try various ways to recruit new members, but all anyone cared about was twittering. Which if you think about it, is almost the same thing as being on a message board except you can interact with players/coaches/media personalities/etc.

Single and proud of it. Had about 6 long term relationships. Glad I didn't marry Any of them. Been single for going on 4 years now. No woman no cry. It will happen again eventually. I am just not out there looking like I have I the past. That's how I ended up with bad ones, trying to get over the previous one and not fully over the prior relationship.

Y'all I'm 5'6 and 130 pounds soaking wet, had an 8 year relationship that has left me needing to get back to school, no concept of how to date, and serving tables at the fantastic age of 26, despite being smart enough to get a 34 on my ACT back in the day. There's days I feel I might as well give up and accept I'm gonna die alone 😂😂😂

I disagree with this completely.

Well maybe, and I'll explain.

I'm tall, have a great career, and in great shape.... but as far as looks, I'm average. I was a lot better looking before that damned male pattern baldness forced me to rock a shaved head. Nevertheless, I've not ever had much problem matching with, talking with, and dating women off of Tinder, Match, Bumble, etc....

But yeah if by 'average joe' you mean the typical jort and New Balance wearing, pudgy beer gut having, balding but in denial guy you see everywhere, then I can see where attracting womens attention would be a challenge.


Where I think those apps have ruined the dating scene is it makes it so hard to find someone and it evolve into something real. This is because it is so easy to match, and talk to different people, and even date multiple people at once. Hit a rough patch, who cares? You got 25+ other matches in your que to chat with.

And women have it worse. I've gone on dates with women and we've talked about the apps and laughed at some of our matches, etc. I've gone out with women who have 700+, 1k + plus guys messaging them.

You're free to disagree with it. Facts are facts, though.

Also, tall and in great shape are the key words in your post. That's why you do well on those dating apps. You're correct that most guys aren't tall or in great shape. Being tall is huge for attracting women. My buddy in college was pretty dorky and had no "game" whatsoever, but he pulled all the time because he's 6'4" with a big frame and a square jaw. He looked like a tight end but was ironically extremely uncoordinated and nonathletic.

And how exactly is it worse for women to have huge numbers of matches? That's essentially proving my point. They have so many matches that they filter out all but the very top percentage of men. And I think you're discounting the experience for most men. They don't have huge numbers of matches. Many men get no matches at all.
