My mom texted me a screenshot of a Google search which are the best dating apps for people over 30. At Easter dinner earlier this month, I had two of my former coworkers over and they asked me how dating was going. I told them I deleted the apps because I just can't find anyone worth giving a shot. Then one of them showed me a photo of a coworkers son and asked me what I thought. He was overweight and balding and I was NOT attracted to him at all. I just made a face and he laughed and put his phone away. I also said I don't want a man with kids. My other coworker said she felt the same way when she was dating, but ended up with someone who had a young daughter at the time. My mom said you just eliminated a percentage of men. I don't care. I'm not interested in other people's kids. I'm not interested in being a step-mom. Also, my mom's friends daughter just got married in Vegas.
Yes I know what you all will say, but I'm so irritated that I need to vent. Nothing I do will change anything. I don't have my life together yet. I want to get some things in order first such as a higher paying job, car etc....
You are doing the right thing deleting the apps. So much is coming to light right now, about how these dating app companies put up fake profiles because they want you to stay on their apps longer. How these apps use your photos without your permission to catfish men into agreeing to in-app purchases. How they are full of married men looking for something on the side. And romance scammers. And predators of all kinds.
Bumble recently dropped their mask by putting out billboards that reeked of disrespect. Now people realize more than ever that they desperately need women on their apps, because women are the product - they are basically making money off selling their female users to their male users.
The other dating apps really all have similar business models, they just haven't yet made a big marketing mistake that shows everyone what they really think of their users.
These apps are shady and it is downright dangerous to give them your photos and personal info.
They are not trying to help anyone find a good match. They don't profit if people leave. Their goal is to keep people on their apps forever.
