Hookup and dating apps now and in 2020?

[merimo28]

A few days ago I was discussing with a friend why it is much harder to find a hookup or date using online apps or sites than just 3-4 years ago.

 

My idea is simple: I am getting older. No matter I good look, have some other preferences and so on. Friend told me to read post about online dating reset.

 

In some moment it makes sense that hookup or date online   is changed in past years: sites and apps works worst than ever. You need to pay various credits and subscriptions, still with minimal chances to meet someone. Also, my impression is that most apps/sites have no goal to find a person for you. I think they just want you to stay as much as they want so you can pay for subscriptions again and again. And swipe left and right at the end of time.

 

So we would close that discussion if he didn't asked me do I see same change in my real life? That was interesting because in real life, in my ages I have better results than ever. Probably it comes with confidence, probably it comes with expirience.

 

I am confused, did hookup and date online culture is changed so chances for males are lower than ever? Or is this just my experience?

 

If you have experiences, opinions, "theories" about this please share...?

I tried and every app makes you pay for likes to see people who liked you and to talk to people. I'm not paying for that.

My theory is its to break mens mental.

I’m having more success on dating apps than ever.

I’ve used them at three different ages, 17 (was allowed on tinder at the time), 21-22 and now at 25.

At 17 I barely got any attention at all. At 21-22 I got some, but rarely from girls I actually thought were cute. And now at 25 I finally feel like I’ve got it on lock.

The success largely comes from having really cool travel photos from a year of backpacking. I also look a bit better than I used to in terms of style and grooming
