Tinder is the most famous - for those of you who don't know, you swipe right on the person's photo if you like the look of them, left if you're not interested. If they swipe right on YOUR pic too, then it's a match, you're alerted to this fact, and you can chat to them. That's the idea. Unfortunately instead of a straight picture of their face, many use filters (doggy ears, huge specs), group pics (so you don't know who the fuck the person you're looking at is), old pics (when they were young and cute), etc. etc. It's addictive. I've had a handful of matches (way lower than the average!) but no dates. I hate it, but I can't let go! I think it's useful if you're young and you're after a shag. I KNOW some of you use it too. How's it going?

Whenever I hear my friends' stories about dating apps, I'm thankful that I met my wife before such apps came to be!

My daughter has been on quite a few Tinder dates and hook ups.
I was on match.com and it was a pain in the ass. No one ever responded to messages even if they liked photos of mine.
What's the fucking point?

If you're over 30? no point

Mind you I got an absolute STUNNER on Bumble today.
It's either a scam or she's one of those who swipes right on everybody and sorts it all out later.

I used to work in Dating. I tell you that stuff like that mostly ends in tears. If you're looking for a long-term partner, you will have a better chance of meeting someone if you're prepared to pay to use them.

Likes include shitty records and picking my (or your) scabs.

Nobody else bother with these things, then? It's funny because when I was in Berlin I got ten times more matches than usual, the thing was on fire. Of course that has a lot to do with the fact that I was in a densely-populated area, but also (sadly) I think a fair number of women are looking to practice their English. I was matched with someone this morning whose profile said something like 'I love all kinds of live music, comedy, and theatre'. I said 'doesn't it depend on what kind of live performance? sometimes they're awful' - and I was promptly unmatched. Ho hum. You have to be positive. Eh, sloop?

Nobody else bother with these things, then? my best mate in valencia is always using them. he's had a lot of success and has become a deviant as a result. i'm at the point where i'm actively seeking to avoid his company.

You should change your dating app name to Buzzkill Johnny.
