You download any of the apps and any of the few hot people you'd actually want to fuck or have a relationship are abandoned accounts. Some you might like and they don't like you.
You end up going against initial instinct and begin swiping on pages you initially wouldn't have. Hopefully still staying away from the crazy, scary, self admitted drug addicts who roam on there.
You match with some low effort ass profile(s). Very few lead to an actual conversation, even fewer to a date. You go on a date and have that initial feeling of "No" and how this isn't even someone you'd have wanted to approach if you saw them at random. One meandering conversation and ghosting later and you're back to swiping. Find your match today!!!

I tried eharmony and hinge. My mom took over control of them after half a day. My dad was super mad at me trying to find someone on my own. He prefers arranged marriage. Now my mom and dad create profiles on my behalf at places they trust. I have had real horror stories. You meet all kinds of people online even the ones that are 'trusted' through a community matchmaker and parents. Horror. Horror. Horror. You might get lucky and meets some quality person. You might also end up with a serial killer who will rape you. Horrified 3 days ago
Those patronizing ads that rub it in your face. Where it's likely two actors and the female with a loud domineering voice says "WE met on Hinge two years ago." STFU that didn't happen. Same with the Reddit posts where people claim to have success with the app.
Reality is people you end up with, you just meet. It happens. It isn't planned. It doesn't happen at some bullshit social events you only went to with the hope of finding someone. It happens when you don't expect it at all. anonymous 3 days ago
Above comment. Very true. Very true.
If you are Jewish - there is JDate. If you are Muslim, they have an equivalent one. I have heard that Jewish people have had success on JDate. Horrified still 3 days ago
But as you said, it is people we meet that works. My Jewish friend married a Muslim woman. No JDate for them. Horrified and scared by the world of online dating 3 days ago
