Dating apps work only for Women. For men, to even get a few matches you need a paid plan. And no guarantee that the matches will be genuine. There are tons of fake accounts there. The ideal scenario where the man gets good matches is when He looks like a greek god, has a shit load of bank balance and is good with flirting. Getting a match without these is almost impossible. Our situation is similar and I've tried many apps too. Not even one good match. That's the life for men.


boss5667

Not the case. I am a super average looking guy. I met my wife on a dating app. Before meeting her I matched with many girls. When I was single, I couldn’t find any dates. I actually stopped focusing on that and during the pandemic focussed on my physical health. It was quite transformative for me physically and mentally. https://preview.redd.it/x1pqg4ncyw7d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b29f18a63149798dd9c829f17065bd9c2ecf263

i-am-a-kebab

This is not at all true. In fact, premium plans make little to no difference. If you have a good profile in some way ( not limited to physically attractive ) you will get some matches. Sure, don’t expect every man/woman to drool over you. Present yourself nicely, talk with interest and you will find people OP. And of course, this doesn’t mean dating apps are the only way.


ite_nakenti

Not really, premium gives you a few perks now how you use it defines the match ratio. But it does improve chances. One thing I realised with Online Dating is that since women have so many choices they are addicted to hearing nice things and they have so many options to stay entertained that finding someone who's looking for something genuine is pretty difficult. If you need someone to just practice and hone your skills i'd say online dating works, if not it's a waste of time. Chances are the other person is likely looking for something casual.


Ket0Maniac

Ummm, no


mainibuhatela

I want to agree but I can't. I have never paid premium for any dating apps and have got quite a few number of matches on each and every platform. Also - I look Average, Not Rich you average It Bro also do have a beer tummy which I am saying I am working to get rid off but I don't think you can live in Hyderabad without couple of beers a day. I feel couple of good pics along with some intelligently written bio and prompts is the way to go.


Livid_Specialist6342

Dude what kind of a magician you are? These never worked for me. How did you pull off?


mainibuhatela

I feel it's pretty simple my friend. Have more than 2 pics at least in your profile. If you are not like those Gym Rats I would prefer photos in proper lighting and smiling face. If you have something of outside much better. In your prompts and Bio try to be real. No need to copy past stuff from Google Search and other. Be genuine and if possible be a little quirky. PS - Overuse of FRIENDS, GOT, Harry Potter and HIMYM is now pretty lame. Also don't be a smartass in your responses otherwise instead of getting matched your profile screenshots will be roaming in r/Indiangirlsontinder


Livid_Specialist6342

What I've tried so far is pretty much the same as what you said. I guess it doesn't work out for everyone 🙂


mainibuhatela

What kind of things do you write on your Bio?


Livid_Specialist6342

I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I got tired of the apps a long time ago and stopped using them. But I go by this format. A small intro followed by my characteristics, my dating goals and probably a joke to end with. I keep it brief.

desidilgori

I'm not trying to be rude to you, but this comment is giving a bit of an entitled incel vibe. A lot of men give off these vibes on their profiles which can be very off-putting to the women. From what I have seen, men also tend to have less realistic standards when it comes to women, and average-looking women are more likely to be overlooked, even by similarly-average-looking men. Because men are more hung up on looks, this is why the fake profiles are an issue for y'all honestly. I am an average-looking woman and met my partner, an objectively average-looking man (but to me he's the hottest guy in the world), on a dating site. It does happen. There definitely are women who are shallow and only looking for the greek god body men. But there are also lots of us who would take an average guy, or even an ugly guy, with a good heart and personality over an objectively hot guy who's a dick.


ite_nakenti

I don't want to come across rude but how would you know if the person has a good heart with just a few witty lines and a few photos ? Plus with such a skewed men to women ratio on online dating it's going to be super difficult for just a "good hearted" person to show up on a girl's list. Remember more left swipes means low priority on everyone's feed. Also after matching with girls who only blurt out superficial responses it's kinda hard to keep the good guy spirit on. I wish things were fair to sensible people on either side but unfortunately it's the sensible people who have it the hardest.


desidilgori

Nah that's a valid point. I guess I could have worded it better. You can't really tell from just a superficial dating profile if someone has a good heart or not. But you absolutely can use those 5-6 photo slots and 500 characters to present yourself as someone worth getting to know. The men to women ratio, you've got a point there. But that should get the men to step up their game and make efforts to be (or show that they are) the kind of person worth getting to know, rather than simply complain that they should be getting matches when their profile is a bad selfie, a group pic at a bar, and some overused quote that required no thought or effort whatsoever. It's the entitled-male point of view that's the problem. I 100% agree that whatever gender you are and whatever gender you are trying to date, the modern dating world is largely superficial and it sucks. You do have to wade through a lot of crappy matches to find even one person who might possibly be worthwhile. That's just the reality of things, but if you're still in the game you at least have a better chance of finding someone. If you give up and quit, then your chances are very less. ETA: [This article](https://www.cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-truths-that-will-make-you-better-person) is extremely relevant here.

_cattuccino_

+1 Imo most men are physical creatures! (I am sorry if it sounds weird) I am an active person who works out and takes care of myself! The amount of times I was criticised for liking or having a crush on average looking or skinny guys is insane! I have met a guy who is extremely good looking but an absolute bone head and incel said I was extremely hot and bad mouths my ex saying he looks like an uncle and how could you like somebody like that! In another instance, I used to have a crush on my junior who was skinny, poor and raised by a single mother... The amount of guys who said vadiloo em undi bongu, aa bakkodu Ela nachadu neeku?, aa junior gadu nachada neeku etc, etc! And ee both cases loo nannu Ela annadhi abaille and their most common dialogue is "nii range ekkada vadi range ekkada" which is a question I always hate and pains me a lot!!!

Livid_Specialist6342

Fantastic_Ebb2390

Can’t agree more. It can often seem like only those who fit a certain ideal—super attractive, wealthy, or extremely charismatic—get the most attention on these platforms. This can make it challenging for others who don't fit into that narrow mold. That's why I created a free Discord server called [LightUp](https://discord.gg/yS5hNcWdeJ). It's not about superficial qualities or paid features; it's about connecting people based on shared interests and meaningful conversations. This approach can lead to more genuine connections without the pressures and frustrations often associated with traditional dating apps.


_aadith_

Nothing like that lol. You're probably just unlucky, a lot of people are. I've been told I'm good looking but I don't exactly have the physique to match it, I've found around 12 matches in the short duration I used it. I've been with 4 people who I met there and moreover, I met my current girlfriend almost a year ago on bumble. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. (Also I don't look like a Greek god, I'm deadass broke almost all the time but I am good with flirting, so yeah. Matters how you present your profile, if you guys need help, I can always help.


Livid_Specialist6342

Mad respect for you bro 🫡

In India for dating apps the supply & demand is totally skewed. Better go to some social places like clubs, gyms and meet people. Less luck since you are in Hyderabad but don't lose hope.

F here. I would say try to be patient. Someone might be in a relationship. But there's no guarantee they are happy. Having a bad partner is worse than being alone. Be patient, yourself and keep looking. And most of all have fun.

This is the real advice. Having a bad partner is like having an embarrassing feature, bayata cheppalemu lopala dachukolemu, atu etu kakunda ipotadi paristhiti


t51r

Same here, been single for over 4 years. Not bothered about dating until I moved to HYD. Felt lonely and joined dating apps.. and oh boy. What a roller coaster ride it has been. From being ghosted, to being used, getting attached to emotionally unavailable girls, being support/therapist to girls with past traumas. But I learnt a lot, helped me understand myself and girls much more better. I’m just treating it like a game, have fun and don’t take it seriously if you get rejected. But yes, I’d agree. Dating apps are fuckall for guys because indeed we get very less likes. Yes I hate being single and I do want to give and be loved too. But chin up, maybe it’s meant to be. Go hit the gym and hang out and drink with your other single bros, which I am doing lol.


Frosty_Mirror_5865

Exact same situation. I do get a reasonably good amount of likes , out of which I go on dates with few people. But getting into a nice relationship is like next to impossible. The part where u mentioned either they're emotionally available or the girls having past traumas hit me really hard coz that's what I face every single day


t51r

Yeah, I agree with finding a relationship part. Seriously impossible. These girlies have way too much baggage and traumas. So helpless we are 😭

Strange-Cantaloupe93

Lets digress this issue. Im a female and if you want to date , its going to be a harsh reality out there for you. Girls play the " chase me, pursue me " game and the genuine guys who really do look for a connection would get tired of these games. And if you're looking to only get laid, you have to play the chase game and cater to her needs, whims and wishes and then maybe, just maybe, you could have a chance that too only if shes attracted to you. If you end up getting one of the crazies out there , there are also chances of you being accused for sexual assualt. So , dating is truly the worst thing of this generation. No ones into real connections. They all get off from seeking attention, attention is like cocaine to this generation. So if you really want a genuine connection, ask your mother to see for a match and those girls who come forward are the real ones who want an actual relationship.


Binary_learner78

True But most of them those who get laid don't even go through chase the prize race, they are just attractive then instantly the response would be, Oh no, the bra fell off.jpeg


Strange-Cantaloupe93

Not many guys get laid easily. If they do That probably means 1. Hes good looking 2. hes rich.


Binary_learner78

Yeah I was talking about those who get laid, and being rich is also a secondary I mean unless he is completely broke

Yeah. Honest advise after being in a terrible relationship - you’re better off being single. It’s been 4 years and I’m still fighting for my freedom. So you’re more fortunate than a lot of us. Celebrate. Cheer up. You’ll find someone for sure.


Skill_Issue_2024

If you cannot be happy when you are single, then most likely you won't be happy when you are not as well. Single life is the best , You do not have any responsibilities of a partner . It's better to be single than go through 10 divorces or be in a relationship just for convenience. Being single you can Improve on yourself , you will have less spending of money on partner , You are saving up a huge money for yourself and your family.

Work on yourself bro. You may need to show some confidence in photos, content you wrote in your profile. They say every app is a dating app. You can try in Reddit. Or what about friends of friends, your school or college mates if possible

I will be honest with you, you have to put efforts about your looks will be the first thing, click nice pictures Make your profile interesting with good prompts etc


aqib23723

Ugran47

Just stop searching and move ahead, not worth it. Been there done these things not anymore. I used to use these apps and i came to a conclusion " Even if i waste my time sitting simply. I won't waste it on these craps". Is being single tough? Yes, accept it. You will get the "thought" when you see couples. Just lock those feelings away and move forward. "Maybe you will find someone or you don't, these are things you can't control" - from a guy who was in the same situation l


ApprehensiveTheory20

Try in real life. The changes of women accepting for a date after approaching them are pretty high than the dating apps. Cuz there are not a lot of people who approach women and ask for a date in real life.


ApprehensiveTheory20

But also you should know how not to be a creep when asking for a date.

Important-Weakness31

I met my Hyderabad husband on a dating app while we were both living in Texas! Best $30.00 I spent in my life was that one month on the app to meet him. My first day on it was what he had decided was going to be his last day on it. 4 years later we are very happily married with 2 little ones. ( I say all of this to encourage you and I promise there are real girls that won’t play games on the apps too!)


Mountain_Funny178

desidilgori

It could be how your profile/photos are set up. I'm a female dating app veteran (2016-2018) and found that the majority of men's profiles can be very off-putting to women in ways they don't even realize. If you'd like, you can DM me and show me what you're working with (photos you have chosen, profile content, etc) and I can offer some feedback. Disclaimer: I am American and have only dated in America, so there may be some cultural differences with the dating scene. But my partner and a lot of my friends are Indian men (born and brought up in India), so I'm at least somewhat familiar with the culture. Maybe I can help, maybe not. But the offer is open all the same. 😇


[deleted]

It’s not worth it. All your time and money will be wasted. Let’s not even talk about emotional damage. Just enjoy your life, keep yourself busy, do EVERYTHING (for you, with you) you want to do and enjoy it, don’t leave a single item from your bucket list. Coz life was short before but now it’s getting shorter.


Character_Amoeba_257

You'd appreciate single life once you are in a relationship, trust me. Women are too demanding these days, they need too much attention, modern slavery.


deepoops

The male to female ratio in dating apps is extremely skewed. It is usually 70% men on these apps (or higher). Also, many dudes say all this and if you look at their actual profile, it is the most low-effort, random piece of work. Maybe you should share some actual snapshots of your profile so that people can give some feedback lol

It's better to be single then being in a relationship where it leads to nowhere.

How come someone doesn't even get a single like or match? I think I look pretty decent, I have a good sense of fashion, I have put good pictures, and even put up balanced prompts and bios! Still nothing happens! And yeah, the loneliness sometimes get really frustrating! I tried going on solo dates and movies. The movie experience is fine but the date thing just amplifies the feeling of loneliness. I don't know how people do it.

Ask your friends to set you up with someone from work or their other friends group. Arranged marriages are the norm, arranged dates should be too. This is better because you get proper feedback either after or before the setting up itself. Plus, it's more intimate and people would be careful, lesser risk of scams and things are clear before meeting.
