People are terrible.

They're terrible because 75% of the people on there (both genders) aren't mature enough to be on there.

Hot people don’t need apps. Sad but true.

People who have issues and are not good options spend more time single and therefore more time on the apps. It also allows people with issues to mask them and gain one-on-one access to people they would not otherwise have access to.

They're basically a creeps paradise.

Hmmm this is a fairly negative perspective…I was amazed how few professional men I even crossed path with in the apps never mind would respond to me :). I’m 50 and would love to k ke what apps you guys recommend

Because quality people have social circles and active lives that help them meet other quality people naturally.

Are you a M or F?

funny

provide both.

Also, get the Tea App. Seriously. An attractive, successful guy I almost went out with was posted on there by a woman who posted photos of herself completely covered in bruises and lacerations and photos of a restraining order against him. Other women in the comments knew and were talking to one-another about the specific people in his life that they had met that helped him lie to them, lure them in, and trap them in bad situations.

I've avoided dangerous situations thanks to the input of other women.

If you’re a straight male: because many women have given up on apps entirely and are choosing to meet people IRL

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country.

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Need advice. Very Shy guy and girl, met a while back for a side hustle both like each other a LOT, relationship has progressed in other areas but not in the physical realm, primarily because neither officially asked the other out. Guy is a very rough around edges, asked for a date by saying ‘anytime you need breakfast or lunch, let me know’. I am an independent gal and didn’t like the way it came across. I really want to take this forward but am out of ideas on how to make a date happen.
