Note on Bumble, my experience and theory that I confirmed with a guy I matched with, all of the guys will swipe on every girl since statistically very few women will swipe on a guy, so if they swipe everyone they'll get a match eventually. So you the girl get a match and message the guy, but he never had any intention of talking to you so your message gets ignored. It was frustrating.
This sounds like an absolutely terrible strategy. If I had no intention of talking to someone, I would never think to swipe on them.2 -

I think sometimes by the time you actually match sometimes they've already started chatting with someone...I've done this before1 -

I don't see why that should prevent a reply though. If I was talking to someone that I considered to be serious enough to not talk to someone else, I don't think I would still stay active on the app. If I recall, isn't there a time limit in which the woman can reply after a match, like 24 hours or something?1 -

there is, but if someone is new, it may take them a week or so after you swiped right for her to swipe right on you0 -
I met my husband on a dating website. We had 15 years together before I lost him to ALS. 💟13

Good point, hadn't thought of that. Clearly I am not as familiar with it as most.0 -
I get a lot of men who match with me but don’t say anything or give one word answers and take forever to respond. I actually think a lot of these men on apps are not really single.
I have met a few cool people though.2 -
One bloke on my Management Committee has been taken for over $40,000 by two ladies in the last three years. They start slow - then ramp it up. You would think he could learn a lesson - right..??1

Yes. But talking to 4 or 5 people gets to be too much. So I may have it narrowed down to 1 or 2 to see how it pans out. Doesnt mean we are serious.0 -

I've honestly tried for 2 years straight. They didn't work for me, sadly enough. Every once in a while, I'll fire up ok cupid. But mostly...eh. On the guys side, its the lack of feedback that turned me off it. I was putting in time, and effort, and getting 0 returns for that effort.
I understand, on the woman's side, you can be overwhelmed by the amount of messages you get a day. I haven't experienced that, but I could see how that would be a turn off as well.3 -

Elsewhere I came across an infographic someone made or the Tinder app itself made. He swiped right on 12,000 women, spoke on the phone with one woman, and went on zero dates. There were some bots that he managed to find, about 100 I think.
Guys, don't swipe right on every women. Tinder will think that you are a bot. Also Tinder has changed their algorithm recently, moving your location can help, so load up Tinder when you are shopping etc, or use an app which alters your GPS location.0 -

A friend of mine does the same. He is married but he is on every dating app. He said he won't get divorce until he finds the next right fit 🥺I get a lot of men who match with me but don’t say anything or give one word answers and take forever to respond. I actually think a lot of these men on apps are not really single.

Be selective, don't rush into anything, if u get messages at first because it's usually either a bot (fake) or a dude wanting nudes.
I don't think girls gets bots
I only ever ran across one fake guy and I recognized it right away. He was using a model's pics and trying to get me to download an app. Nope! There was a guy on MFP running that scheme years ago too. In general I haven't run across the same problems that guys do on these apps.
From what I hear men run into a lot of "professionals" and married women on some of the apps like POF. Bumble has less fakes it seems. I have also heard that Facebook is a good source to find real people. Keep in mind a real person isn't always real. Dating is a cluster *kitten* because a huge portion of people like to hide their flaws for a long time in the beginning. Be you. If you're not meant to be then there is no point in wasting your time.
Facebook??? I didnt know that! I'm not on FBI much but maaayyybbee...
Supposedly FB has a dating part now. One person told me it is better because you know all the people are actual people, but I wonder if that gives a false sense of security to some.1 -
Do they work? It depends on your gender, age, race, location, etc. Generally, the older you are, the less people you could date are making profiles online. If you have specific requirements (such as wanting someone who is childless or into sports) that's going to reduce your dating pool.
My opinion - use them but don't be surprised if you don't start a relationship with someone you met on a dating app.
What does race have to do with anything? 🤔2 -

Back in the day, like 7 years ago, I used POF and OKCupid. Definitely liked OKC better. POF was a total crapshoot. But not a lot of luck on either tbh.
Met my husband here on mfp over 6 years ago when and where I least expected it 😂3 -

Agreed. I don't think I could even stay friends with someone like that, honestly.5 -

Horrible
Some people can't handle being alone so they don't let go one hand until they are holding other.
I agree, that is a horrible way to act.4 -
Internet dating is like a blind date without someone introducing you to the other person. I have used and it works - we have been married 15 years.3

I've used it before. Never met anyone in person from Tinder. It seems too sketchy in my opinion. I liked talking to the people on OKC more.
I ended up finding my S/O on Craigslist lol1 -
