Update 2: At least Apple was kind enough to refund my money. I’m glad I learned my lesson the easy way. No more dating apps ever again for me!
Update: Thanks all for your overwhelming support. I really needed these words of comfort. Besides this, I live a very lonely isolated life and it's difficult to meet new people. Regardless of being very active, working out a lot and doing a lot of social activities. I will try to reply everything, but I have definitely read everything!
I’m 33M and last night I downloaded Tinder again after deleting it for the 100th time. In a few hours I got 16 likes, but not a match. So I decided to go ahead and pay for one week to see these matches. Literally all of them were fake accounts. Not a single one of these 16 were real.
I broke down in tears, because my dating life hasn’t really been good. As a POC it’s even more difficult. Then, as the idiot I am, I went ahead and spent money just to find out all of it is just a scam. I don’t know how to deal with this anymore. Meeting in real life is basically non existent in this day and age.
I’m just so over with life itself. My self esteem is completely down the gutter. I wish there was an easy and painless escape out of this life.
I've had 2 partners in relationships of 7 years. I do get that relationships are often romanticized. I get everyone saying that 'single culture isn't bad', but that's only if it's by choice (really not trying to sound like some incel here). For intimacy or building a family, you definitely need two people. While it isn't the main reason I'm looking for a partner, it still matters. Perhaps I'll try to look for offline dating methods. But I don't feel like anyone does offline dating/meeting nowadays.
Thats just simply not true, also i think you Slip into These relationships more naturally. Also that number is a good one so idk how that is of any importance .
