I’m just wondering, no particular reason.

Did you find a partner using it? How long did you use it? What did you think about it? How many matches did you get? What problems did you see? Do you think its a good way to meet other people? What did you use it for / what was your intention?

Just in general, what was the experience like?

    Pre-covid, I had used Tinder, OKC, others a few times and while living in various states. Location made a big difference as to which platform was any good. One city, Tinder would be king and give decent results, but next city it would be a wasteland with trash and bots.

    Post-covid, either the apps got even more money-hungry or I changed enough to not deal with the bullshit on those apps anymore. I found them worthless and haven’t gone back.

    I recall one message that was almost word for word match for a DM I had gotten on Reddit in that similar timeframe. Something along the lines of using my body and leaving me ruined for life. I figured if a pseudonymous reddit account, no photos or physical description of me, no posts even vaguely waving in the direction of sexual things gets the same sort of messages as my actual, intentional dating profile, I no longer wanted to interact with the men on those forums. Yeah, yeah, “not all men” but there’s no way to filter them out from the ones with baseline social skills.
