Apps and dating sites have been a total waste of time for me. Most of the dating sites I joined barely had any other members on there from my area, so I used plenty of fish as my site of choice. There really wasn't much there for me but of the handful of women I did message and converse with, they al turned out to be complete flakes. The overall trend was that I would speak to these individuals on there for a few hours, some even over a couple evenings, and after asking for their number and/or their availability to meet up would result in me getting blocked or them just discontinuing communication with me. At first I just wrote it off and kept at it but I eventually decided to completely write them off as a waste of time and not worth the headache, I used to actually get really angry from these experiences.
I also gave the dating app tinder a try and that was also a waste of time. There were far more women on this app compared to POF, or so it seemed, so I gave it a shot. All of the matches I received turned out to be bots looking for me to sign up for a pay for texting app that would require my credit card information. The first time it happened it went something like "I'm new to this app, does this mean we are a match?" and then it went on about signing up for the pay for app that also did a "background check" to make sure she was safe lol. After I said no it said 'you are so lame, no wonder you are single"....whoever designed that is the biggest psychopath ever, trying to get one's credit card information and to personally insult them when the individual does not fall for it lol. After this I swiped right on every profile, to see what else would come of the app, and the same opening messages would be sent to me, literally word for word, and after seeing that I just took the app off my phone.
Moral of the story, try to meet people in real life, which is way harder than it actually sounds lol.
Good luck
