I deleted Bumble again last week. Don't think I'll try any of these things again. I should have listened to the people who told me it was a bad idea to make a dating profile. It was devastating to the confidence I'd built up before putting myself out there, and I still feel unlovable and socially undesirable despite people giving me compliments on my looks and my voice and my sense of humor all the time. It makes me cry every day.
im pretty much with you. if youve followed my posts at all, this past year i became single for basically the first time in my adult life. and while i went into the apps knowing its not really a meritocracy, i was still shocked at how awful and dehumanizing (and just plain bad at serving their intended function if you're straight masc) the apps are. i redownloaded them after a month off them, but really have just been seeing them as a game to play while i take a shit this time around and am expecting zero success. sucks though, because idk where else you can meet people nowadays - but at the same time the apps barely even seem to work, so it feels like somethings gotta give...
I’ve thought for the longest time that there needs to be a grassroots dating app or something
But we very quickly arise at the root of the problem which is capitalism 🥰
