Do people really hook up in games 🀨? I mean... you have tons of other apps for that, why use game chats.

[-] ViscloReader@lemmy.world 88 points 10 months ago

People hook up everywhere, plus if you meet through a game you already have a common interest and a lot of stuff to chitchat about Win/win

[-] queue 59 points 10 months ago
  • Mutual interest
  • Games often require talking and supporting each other well to beat the task at hand
  • Probably into more games and hobbies together

Indeed, it's a win/win

Lemmy is like Reddit, but with an even greater concentration of Linux and FOSS nerds, so the likelihood is extremely low.

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 33 points 10 months ago

Open source relationships it is then

[-] jagungal@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Now there's a kind of open relationship I can get behind!

Sorry, I heard asbestos was toxic

[-] psud@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It's not toxic, it's practically inert. That's what makes it carcinogenic

Any pic from a Reddit meetup was enough to convince me that trying to date via Reddit was a no-go zone.

[-] Ibex0@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago
[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

No, because lemmy is actually just me, and then six dogs pretending to be like 400 other active users.

I would relly appreciate to hook up on Lemmy because you have to be a nerd to be there. But I m French so I suppose its unlikely

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Yeewww...

Jk I'm French Canadian even worse.

[-] Gonzako@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

We can certainly make this work. I'm a couple swims into France.

But it's only a booty call, a hookup, and he/she is upfront about it, why does it matter if we have common interests or not.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 25 points 10 months ago

Republicans don't get orgasm assistance from me.

I invest a little extra effort to make sure I'm not misallocating my sex.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

This is sage advice: Sex misallocations often lead to extensive long term losses.

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 34 points 10 months ago

In runescape you can buy gf, in dating app you no can buy gf, do the maffs

[-] Aggravationstation@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Depend on app friend

[-] verysoft@kbin.social 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's an instant common denominator. What's the difference than meeting at another hobby?

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 17 points 10 months ago

You know if someone is a 40 year old man or not

Dating apps are not optimised to help u find a partner, they're made to keep u on the app

I met my fiancΓ©e at a training thing for work. Everyone canceled except her her, me, and the teacher, so we had a lot of time to talk lol. We are getting married in a year and a half.

[-] wafflez@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Congratulations I am glad it worked out well for you two /pos

I know some people have luck with them, that's invevitable. I was just saying they aren't great for most people and more so often are really bad for men's self-esteem. Some great statistic videos go into depth with the dating pool ratios etc. to explain this.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

And games are made to keep you playing, not find partners.

Regardless, this was just a booty call, my experience is that they're great for that.

[-] hoshikarakitaridia@sh.itjust.works 18 points 10 months ago

Cause those apps suck unfortunately.

Man, I've met partners I dated for years because of random shit. Reddit, random interactions on discord, and a few more. My parents met because of a convention my dad organized for a show that was off the air for a few years at that point.

Humans are social creatures and they do be socializing.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah, but the pic is clearly about a hookup only. Dating apps are great for that, you just specify what exactly it is you're looking for and you're golden within a week or two.

I have this friend, he litelarly didn't go out with us for 2 straight years because of dating apps. He once did some math on how many different hookups he had over those 2 years, it was well over 200. He's not handsome or anything, not particularly anyway, or hung or anything like that. He's just friendly, funny and outgoing. Women sink into that, just be friendly and funny and that's basically it.

It's not that hard really, even if you are not as outgoing and funny as him, you could still score once every 2 weeks or so... if sex is what you're looking for.

Oh, and the main thing, don't be a picker. Pickers go home emptyhanded.

[-] 31337@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Nah, I don't think that's common. A lot of men swipe right on every woman, get a match with something like 1% of those, get a chat response with 0.1%, arrange a date with 0.01%, and have 100% back out of the date. At least that was my experience for a couple months of using dating apps, lol.

I haven't played online games in literally decades, but in the 90s, when I used to play MUDs, people used them to hook up (or just do the cybersex thing) all the time. I'm guessing the only big difference now is voice and video are in the mix.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Really? Had no idea to be honest.
