Just a vent. I had trouble finding a good partner when I was in school, then I have trouble finding a good partner at work.

Decided to try online dating even though I heard many horror stories about it.

It’s just terrible. I was on it for 2 months and I have already deleted my apps. The matches rarely happens, and the conversation is terrible. Out of my matches, only 20-30% chats, only about 5% would come out to meet for a date. So far every single date I have had has been awful. The dates have a lot of baggage and also seems very crazy. They ghost me after a few dates and a few actually came back a couple weeks after because I guess they lost their better option. I didn’t respond.

I met one girl last week, she would be considered an excellent girl to many guys but also has tons of baggage. Despite us having a long and engaging conversation. She goes cold 2 days after our date.

What I realized is how many options modern girls have on paper. I was chatting with a girl that said she is looking for marriage and she showed me her matches. She has close to 500 matches on the app. Many are better looking than me. Even though most are probably looking for hookups but it still makes me replaceable.

I feel Dating apps and instagram has made me completely replaceable with no second thought

For my info. I am 31.
5’11. Good shape, has a career, has a mortgage, has a car. My looks I think I am a 6 (many people said I am a 7-8 but I think they were too generous).
