Popular dating app companies Bumble and Match Group recently announced large cuts to their workforce. Amar Shah looks into whether the allure of dating apps is starting to fade or if singles are turning away from the online dating culture.
I prefer another dating site
A lot of the women I seen on POF search around 2019 and 2020 most are still on the platform today. Online dating seems to be the leftovers that nobody really wants and such. I've met a few mostly off POF in the past 20 years for dates and easy hook ups.

SPs? i think they were referring to the real world dating ....???
i could be wrong
You nailed it with this excellent quote. Any single woman under 35 that’s at least a 7.5 with no kids, doesn’t need an app to get dates.... Online dating seems to be the leftovers that nobody really wants and such. …
Yeah but there's no app.Me too. I have 100% success rate with the TERB dating site. Less expensive too!
There are matchmaking services that already do this. It’s matchmaker’s fee and screening process that weeds out the bottom feeders. Only downside is that the quality of women will be 5’s and 6’s with a hint of 7’s. Basically, using a matchmaker forces you to lower your expectations and settle.I wouldn't mind a dating app where both genders have to pay like $100 monthly fee or more and it's free to msg folks when signing up. Weed out the bottom feeders tbqh. I just don't care much to find someone in person nor attend many events. Plus it's easier to find someone that way who is done having kids since I'm done with too. Makes it a bit convenient than dating someone for a few weeks or months only to find out they want kids still.
TERB is the online 'app' with the highest 98% success rate for getting laid on every date for less than the price of dinner and drinks. You get to date and have sex with girls wayyyy out of your league!Yeah but there's no app.
It is like the lottery. More likely to be struck by lightning?You nailed it with this excellent quote. Any single woman under 35 that’s at least a 7.5 with no kids, doesn’t need an app to get dates.
What happened with the dating apps is that the number of new male accounts has been steadily decreasing year over year. Men are their bread and butter - because they pay. Women don’t need to pay because they don’t need to swipe endlessly to get a match. Actually the problem with women is that they get so many matches they just give up [and close their account] because it takes too much time to determine which match is worth talking to. Basically it’s like dumpster diving.
It has taken a while but it has become common knowledge that the odds of a guy meeting anything about a 7 [with no kids] on the apps is near impossible - so guys aren’t even thinking about signing up now. And another disincentive is that women that do agree to a date want a dinner date as the first date. [Yah, smells like a sugar daddy date.]
I don’t think these men are approaching women IRL as their alternative. I think we are experiencing men going the same way as South Korean and Japanese men - they are just leaving the dating market to pursue other things that are less frustrating and more rewarding.
North American live birth rates are going to decrease even further. Certainly doesn’t help population growth when each year in the US there are about 1 million abortions [for convenience reasons]. Yup, for real.
Best were the telepersonal voice and early web based dating sites.Because of bots and AI garbage now.
Dating sites before apps were amazing though, especially plentyoffish, damn that was a good one.
