Thoughts on dating apps

[potluck6]

My son has  used  one.  Found a  nice  girl  but. They  broke up.

I have dated on these apps, I say I only want to date, so you have to be careful very.

I cannot answer that truthfully because I an been marry for 43 years but I would never go on a dating app.

My thoughts on dating apps. Don't trust them. You never know who someone really is.

[ssarber]

I would never use one. I feel like there are too many catfishes out there. Of course I am married, so I have no need for one.

No Way, not a chance, there are too many con men and golddiggers looking for a payday. If anything did happen to my wife of over 50 years I would remain alone.

WHen I was single there were no dating apps it was all about meeting people in public places and trying to get their phone number.

Back in the day I would say yes. But today, you dont know who you are meeting and this world isn't the same. If on your 1st date bring a tribe of people to be on the safe side lol

A good and healthy relationship is always a lot of fun. During the quarantine, I had active communication. I usually used gay mature dating to meet new men. And almost always the conversation ended with a proposal to meet. This is a plus for those sites that help you find a person near you. I think if you are single you will need this site.

I've been single for a while too and thought about trying one next year (when it warms up again) that's geared toward people who want something serious.  I've had this same thought for a few years, I know people lie when it's not even necessary but I'm curious. I did online dating over a decade ago, some good experiences, some not so good.

That's great advice!

I have a coworker who found her husband on match.com.  I would probably use it, but would be very careful.  Only meeting in public places until I got to know him and trust him.  It’s a shame but you have to be so careful now.

[PGS28]

I agree, and don't send money.

The only real problem I see is potentially getting catfished but if you can video chat to see they are who they say they are, then there is problem. The app to me just simplifies the whole dating.

I really didn't have enough time to go though the entire thread, but I find it disgusting when a dating app asks for money. Why can't they earn on traffic or ads? I read https://tfetimes.com/how-to-attract-a-girls-attention-with-a-profile-photo/ about how to attract girls with a profile photo so I am really willing to register at some dating site and try this. But never for money, of course.

Dating apps can be dangerous. Bad people make them dangerous not everyone. I don't see why people have to pay either to use different part of the app.

my niece just found a guy on one. She is now heading to OK to see him. I am terrified, but she is 35 so it's her life. At least she has video chatted. But who knows what kind of guy he is.
