Where the hell am I going to find two exes? I'm almost 40 and still with my first girlfriend.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Well, you could probably have 1 ex if your current GF found you still using a dating app.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

Because she's in the app? Hmmmm

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

It’s straight to therapy for you then

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 2 points 6 days ago

Stay strong, I'm trying to find gf #4 in my late 30s. Not dating young really makes it hard as an adult

Look into the match group. All their dating apps (and they own almost all of them) are designed to only make pairings that almost work but have one fatal incompatibility so both users come back and use the app again.

It's evil. Never use them. They own at least:

Do you have a source for this? I really wanna quite it but looking to validate first

[–] FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It's obviously not the sort of thing you'd find on the internet...

I personally know one of the employees.

Make of that what you will, but the terrible state of the dating scene should hopefully steer you in my direction.

[–] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

This page has enough of the main ones to convince me. I dont use any of the more niche apps, so i may not recognize them. Also they may not have their full portfolio out in the open.

[–] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

Veggie People Meet is for Vegans in case anyone else was wondering.

[–] a_baby_duck@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Maybe it varies by region, but is there any good / ethical dating app with enough users to matter?

[–] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

Fr, surely the list of apps not owned by this company is shorter to copy and paste

[–] FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I successfully used discord, telegram and IRL events, oftentimes organized through these platforms.

Find some community for a hobby you're into and be sociable.

Or use whatever other platform the communities you're into uses and don't be a creep. On the plus side, you'll have some common pastime to nerd about together~

[–] a_baby_duck@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

All good advice, but the question was specifically about dating apps.

[–] FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I'm not aware of any good ones. I'm not sure they exist.

Hence my advice.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That's a tough one, because my last relationships were with a narcissist, an abusive manipulator, a gold digger, and someone who made terrible assumptions about my situation out of prejudice. And my last therapist wanted to get paid without putting in much work.

Isn't dating fun? It's like a Kinder egg with shit inside every time.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

It used to be friends/acquaintances that'd vouch for you, but ever since they paywalled that shit... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago

Why only young people?

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 120 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"three therapists" look at this rich person who can afford three therapists

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 6 points 1 week ago

If you're messed up enough, there's a chance the state has payed for them. On the other hand, at that point there's probably also a very specific reason for being single.

[–] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 68 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Is there a dating app for people who don't use dating apps due to the inherent data security and privacy issues?

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

There was an open source dating app for a bit. It still technically exists but theres no advertising for it and therefore nobody uses it so all of the accounts are dead including mine

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 2 points 5 days ago

How about one for people whose self esteem is anready abysmal and won't be able to handle the horrors normal dating apps inflict on people.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 90 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The arch Linux mailing list?

The subtle burns are the best ones.

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I recommend a glottal stimulation of air paticles to cause positive vibrations of a membrane inside the receivers skull cavity resulting in consentual intra-species discourse. Chicks dig that shit.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Aaargh! Grug make mouth-noise, and now da air is all wobbly. Eerz hert from da wibble wobble air, it wobble too fast!

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Thats the spirit. The pain just means its working.

[–] Zelaf@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

"Nevermet"?

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago

Tfw no exes

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Userbase: 9 users per City. None rurally.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Per major city.
And zero in the smaller towns.

[–] higgsboson@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

mfw (barring college dorms for 2 years,) I have never lived inside town or city limits.

[–] hazl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope this happens so I can hop on the fake ex market early. I'll insert you into my fictional dating history at a rate of $50 per month that we were supposedly together.

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The ex has to also be on platform, and is a web of trust kind of algorithm. If the people you recommend violate the rules then if ducks points from you. If you get below a certain point, you and all the people you recommended are banned. If you want to open another account to keep your fake ex business going, you are going to have to get more people to vouch for you again

[–] 90s_hacker@reddthat.com 1 points 5 days ago

funny how I somehow read it perfectly the first time

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes? I think so. Sorry. Non English native

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No way am I doing either.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I can't afford therapy and never dated. FML

[–] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 8 points 1 week ago

I'm so glad I found my forever person before dating apps really took off

[–] drath@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can easily get both. Yet I know I am a deeply broken person and probably the last person you should date.
