I tried Tinder for the first time and it's genuinely awful.

MODERATORS
Tinder and match apps prey on the lonely and desperate. They have no interest in matching you or getting you off the platform. This is not a dig at you, just the modus operandi of such apps. I was in for a while too, but left because of the constant rejection and zero communication. You're much bettr off in meat space. As a divorced dad of two and a cancer diagnosis, ain't no hope of me competing with those Ryan Gosling types for ladies attention.
Thankfully I'm not lonely or desperate, I just wanted to see what it's all about and if it was actually useful. Don't worry, no offence taken.
Being a man on dating apps certainly makes it feel like the population of men is vastly higher than the population of women lol! I swiped right on a lot of gorgeous girls but I'm probably just one in the huge pile of other dudes who have done the same.
I wish you all the best for your health my friend.
Okc is 75% men, and women swipe right on about 5% of profiles. It's not forgiving at all.
