Never use mainstream dating apps (2 Viewers)

[younglivinglife]

Only use them if you want to waste time and money

Better solution I read here is apps for making friends, learning together, or apps as social hangouts (Instagram, Boo) that are friendship first, dating second

Hope this saves some people a lot of time, Instagram is a social but not a dating app. Building rapport first is key

Why

Ideally you would be a normal person with a social network in whatever place you live geomaxxing

But for non NT freaks like myself, that’s never gonna happen

Which means I’ll most likely never go thru the marriage ritual, simply cuz I have no social circle to begin the courting process

Thus I must double down on looksmaxxing to survive off of pure aesthetics only

I’ve found the opposite actually. I think this depends on if you’re the type of guy who gets friendzoned a lot

Truth. The hardest part about being non-NT is that your opportunities to be a large fish in a small pond is much lower. You're forced to literally compete with literally millions of men online, instead of a few other guys in a preselected social circle. Geomaxing compensates for a lot of this but not all.

Way easier barrier to entry and building rapport

Without being NT gonna be hard to get a good relationship

Actually skip these apps - they are for learning languages

dating apps have scarred me for life. i went from having my pick of the litter to getting unmatched by sub 5 chinks and deathnics

besides, they're cope. pay to play is law if you're sub 8 and not NT, massive gender imbalance, women looking for jesters or who have ulterior motives, the necessity to be NT. unless bumble and hinge are now normalized in asia then i probably won't be able to mentally deal with such women who go against the grain because that's a sign of mental instability and im the only one who's allowed to be mentally unstable in the relationship

What countries and apps? I'm MTN but doing fairly well with OLD in SEA. No pick of the litter but a steady stream of 20-30 y/o MTBs. For reference: I haven't even tried OLD in the west in many years but I imagine I'd get pretty much zero there.

in the US before covid i had crazy likes and matches on tinder and also when i geospoofed on tantan.

i tried hinge and bumble recently in the US but besides looksflation there's also the fact they throttled the algo so if you're not a NT chadlite or above then it's over on the free versions. i cant bring myself to try SEA

"i cant bring myself to try SEA"

Im not really sure what you are expecting then. Dating has gotten harder and its been 6 years since COVID.
