Bad. When I was still dating men dating apps were just kinda not usable. Most men swipe right on everyone so you get like a gazillion meaningless matches. And then so many men are just such absolute freaks. I would say like a good 80% of my interactions with men on dating apps have been negative.
With women it’s much better. The apps are more usable and there’s barely any freaks. But eventually I got tired of the apps too because so many people on there are women with boyfriends who are looking for a third or just straight up men who I guess think that their magic dick is gonna be something lesbians have desperately been waiting for.
Tried it in my early twenties. Not for me. If you’re comfortable with a guy talking/sleeping with multiple people, having an avoidant attachment style, the connection (I won’t call it a relationship since it was never exclusive to begin with) fizzling out without a clear goodbye then go ahead. But most of the time, guys on there hide alot of things (my bff at the time was in a relationship with a guy on there who hid his marriage and kids).
I feel like online dating attracts people that are lonely, seek validation and want attention and have anxious or avoidant attachment styles. Alot of commitment phobic people are on there.
I’d rather be alone and die from loneliness then dip my toes back in that dirty pool now that I’m single and in my thirties 😅 I believe if something is meant to be, I would meet that person organically 🤷🏻♀️

Anyway, I much prefer real life dating.
I despised it. I deleted all of my accounts on the apps 2 years ago and hope to not go back
Well, it took me a few tries but eventually I met my husband

It had its ups and downs. Ended up meeting my now fiancé though. Made it all worth it. Never would’ve met him otherwise.
