Dating Apps.
Why not take my sick feeling, feeling lonely, and contemplating on all the ways things never worked out, and tell you what is on my mind?
When I first saw myspace, two thoughts came to my head. How can I, as a straight man stay away from beautiful bikini girls? Another thought came to me, "this place is stupid". I remember when I was on myspace I felt like I was in 1st grade again. Yet lots of people seemed to like it, so I thought to myself there must be something wrong with me to have these thoughts.
I know what you are going to say. "Myspace is not a dating app, nor is it a dating site." I know that, but I just noticed that my feelings about Myspace and dating apps are the same. I feel like both of them was and is stupid technology, and encourages people to act childish and flaky.
I have never used a dating app. I don't own a smart phone. But when they came out I saw some videos about it on youtube. I was like we humans have really reduced ourselves to this? I mean all people seem to do is, look at how good someone looks and then swipe left or right. Then hope that they can exchange messages or something. I saw an older Woman, who created one for those who are dating in their 50's. She made it so people were not allowed to Ghost. They needed to give the other person closure before ending the relationship. But really! People are so bad now days that you got to force them to handle things right?
I know that dating apps work for some people. But as one very attractive women/ dating coach on youtube said, "I don't want to tell any man to quit trying... But some men are just not attractive enough to make it work." I'm one of those people that is not attractive enough in the face. I got no idea how hard I might need to workout to make something like that happen. If I had an office job, I might have the energy to work out. But as it is, my job wears me out. I even got bad feet from it. Don't tell me to buy better shoes etc. I already done that.
I just feel like dating apps are so stupid. I think the old fashion way of hitting it off, would be better. I know it probably works for you.
In the early days of 2002, I tried online dating sites. I was around that stuff for many years. But after 13 years, I'm like, this shouldn't be this hard. Then I felt that I realized that these sites thrive not on those who find love, but those that keep coming back and trying over and over again.
