32m here and ive been on dating apps for over 10 years and think they’ve gotten worse since the whole swiping algorithm. I always do max swipes daily on fb dating, tinder, and bumble with minimum to no success. Tinder being the worst of the three. Ik irl is better, I just am not good at it with social anxiety and overthinking. Anybody find what works on these apps if you’re an average looking man?

    Cheats? Never tried these myself, but I was being told that some dating apps use their own ELO system for “rating” users, and they try to keep the best matches hidden, so allegedly you can try to game the ELO by rejecting more ppl than necessary and on Hinge you can cheat by leaving the age range completely open (18-99)…

    … or I guess beg family/friends for help to completely bypass dating apps I guess

    Disclaimer I have never even dated & my only “dates” from a dating app ended in complete disasters, so… I wouldn’t trust what I have just wrote
