Isn't the entire point of the profile and matching system to filter incompatible people out? Why can I match with 50 people and not a single one wants to get a coffee or something after exchanging a few pleasantries? Everybody hates these things and yet they refuse to do anything IRL to get off them. Is there some Manchurian candidate activation codeword that I'm missing? I feel like everyone treats this shit solely as an ego booster and actually gets pissed off that anyone tries to interact with them. How do you meet people in hellworld if you don't drink?
Me after dozens of dead-end back-and-forths that lead to nowhere despite having shared interests and presumably being attracted to each other since we matched: 
Hmm, maybe it's the extreme commodification of relationships and atomization under capitalism that prevents you from getting anywhere with this garbage 
Nope, must be because @SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net didn't say my favorite "The Office" quote and send me a playlist with 50 of the greatest songs I've never heard that made me instantly fall in love with them. I have no idea what other people expect from these things but I'm not doing labor for someone that I don't even know is real. Thanks for reading my rant, any advice is appreciated.
I would say that roughly half my matches never respond, and of the remainder 70% goes out with me after a day or two of making light conversation. I'm not pretending to like the Office or whatever either; my bio says I'm a leftist* / hobbies are XYZ / etc. What you see is what you get. I get very few matches but they are cautiously interested in me. However, I am a neurotypical guy, and I also do the legwork of suggesting a cute coffee/dessert shop in a convenient location for her. If you have gotten 50 matches they may be less interested in you individually to start with, or your conversation is putting people off. If you are consistently striking out at the small-talk stage, and you want to meet people through apps, you might want to show an honest friend some of your conversations and see if they think you're coming across weirdly.
But yeah dating apps suck, dating in general kind of sucks, meeting people in general kind of sucks. Try not to take it too personally.
*"communist" scares people. c'est la vie ๐
I'm definitely coming across weirdly because I'm looking for queer leftists. Looking for someone queer alone is a huge struggle where I am unless I want to travel 50 miles to the nearest big city and many of the queer people are very lib. I've already given up on straight cis people because enby (AMAB) and anyway every woman in a 20 mile radius is either a hyperchud, antivax hippie, or girlboss neolib who wants a REAL MAN, which I'm not. There's one person who seems genuinely interested but (if they're not making an excuse) had some real shit happen recently and cancelled so we'll see.
I think you might want to put "looking for other queer leftists" in your bio. If you do the filtering before they match with you, you don't have to waste as much time. By coming across weirdly I just mean giving strange vibes in DMs after matching, sounds like your profile is fine if you're getting matches.
