Dating apps Profile

[Johnny Fever]

I mostly get legit likes. Almost every day wome are waiting for me, if I like them back. Though sometimes there's one of those catfishers. Mostly they disconnect (unmatch me), when I told them gold is much more profitable or when I say that someone else tried to make me invest in bitcoin.

Sadly, I suppose I fall into the "face for radio" camp (which is one of the reasons for my chosen avatar and name, though the actor who played Johnny Fever is pretty decently looking by comparison). The sole match I had in recent days had a pre-teen child and I have no desire to date a single mom, so I passed on that match.

For me they are more of a toy them a threat. I mean, it's so obvious: pictures of young beautiful woman, who agrees with the weirdest thing I say, that's suspicious.

Seems that even so-called "legit" profiles have a liberal use of photo filters by women. I tend to pass on those folks, too, as if they can't be genuine on their appearance what's to say they won't be truthful in other areas?

I also 'smell' the women who are looking for a sugar daddy. I will buy someone a drink, but I'm not into paying all her bills. I just ask straight up (without any judgement) if they're looking for a SD, which they mostly admit.

(Sometimes a genuine young woman comes by, who's looking for an older man. I did have some dates with women half my age. But that's rare. Only a few a year.)

Never had a SD seeker and rarely come across any younger women.

I don't know burner apps, but it sounds like something to look into. Thanks for the tip.

I heard of and use TextNow, but I'm sure there's plenty of other apps out there, too.

Something else to keep in mind, I have a second phone, actually teh iPhone 6s I replaced with my current model, that I use for the dating apps. These dating apps sniff out things like your contacts and more, so having a fully reset phone with nothing on it - no contacts and only the pix I use for profiles, isolates what ill gotten gains the apps can make off with.

I don't mind about photo filters that much. Or photo's that are ten years old. When I meet someone, I'll see her anyway, so I can judge myself. And when we meet, I also often add some pheromones to make me look better.

After the last meetup I'm of the mindset that if the person doesn't match the photos I'm going to get up and leave. The last one made the Goodyear blimp look like an anorexic!

The younger women are fun sometimes. I can take care of her daddy issues. Other times they are just trying out flirting or playing around. Or they have weird requests. I had one young woman (19), like half a year back, that ask me if she could peg me.

Younger women don't bother me at all. Had a thing for a former co-worker who was half my age, as she was cute, very intelligent and a very sweet person. Luckily she moved to the other side of the country and broke all contact as I could tell she really didn't want to stay in touch.

Good tips for the burner app! Thanks for that. And good that you mention the safety. It seems like many dark, often invisible companies want to collect as much data about us, as possible.

The separate device makes it a pain in the ass at time, especially since I don't have email access on it either (more security reasons).

[Johnny Fever]

I think it's worth to look further then just the HB-random-number thinking and the quest for twenty-something year olds. There's so much to find in the sexual spectrum. It would be a waste to leave it all to the other guys...

Being on the south side of 50+ I don't have any interest in youngsters, I'd prefer a woman who's more mature. The 33 year old former co-worker checked all the boxes I wanted, though I wasn't on her radar at all. On the other hand, I don't want to date nursing home patients, either.

I'll give my humble take on this even though it's been 5 years since I've used any apps, maybe the situation has gotten worse since then. I'm probably somewhere around a 7 irl, not at all gigachad material. I did decent for myself on the apps but not amazing. But I was going on dates with new girls hotter and younger than I am at least two times a month, often more.

One thing I did was work really hard on my profile. Tons of photoshoots and testing out different "about me's." My friends all got sick of me cause I was asking them to take my picture all the time. Learn which side is your good side and what distance makes you look the best. The majority of guys will look better from a telephoto lens at least 8 feet away. Johnny Fever you say that women are all competing for the top 5% of men, but the truth is, online they're all competing for the top percent of profiles. If a guy is better looking and taller than me, but all his photos are poorly lit selfies, and he looks like he has no friends, then my profile is more attractive than his. Likewise, if a guys profile is equal to mine, but he can't carry on an interesting or humorous text based conversation, then I rise above him in the ranking. Girls get asked "hey how's your week going?" dozens of times a day. You have to be more interesting than the crowd if you want her to respond.

Even if you're ugly, if your photos convey an intriguing, attractive lifestyle, and you're standing tall and smiling or looking confident in them, you should be able to raise your online rating significantly. One good thing to do is run your profile past female friends and make sure your compass is pointing north. Sometimes a picture you think sucks will be by and large the favorite one. Or if anyone is feeling brave and wants to post a profile on this thread I'd be happy to critique it.

Overall I'd say the apps are a decent way to supplement your dating life, but don't rely on them as your single source of meeting women.

I joined Bumble... hope it's not a stall out zone there.  The women are hot but do they reply?

Something to keep in mind, which I may have written about before. Between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day we're entering "Cuffing Season" where women will pick up a mate only for the intention of getting attention and presents / gifts. This is why I concluded my own experiment. I'm not interested in being used for resources with little to gain or receive in return.

i've heard swinger sites are where the action is really at.  haven't verified this myself, but it makes sense.

OK, I was bored yesterday and thought I'd give myself a laugh. I signed up for Bumble. There is nothing special about my profile, as I used three of the pre-canned prompts only. The photos I happen to have on the phone.

A couple of interesting observations. Using experience gleaned from some of the men's channels on YouTube, I swiped left on any profile with pronouns. I also swiped left on almost every profile with non-adult children. As a chosen test preference, I only considered profiles marked with a "conservative" or none concerning political affiliation.

Here in the Northeast USA, the selection within a reasonable driving distance was slim pickin's. Many very opinionated profiles, some appearing more selective than their own looks, can pull off. Lots of filters and plenty of butter face, too. The age range was 46 through 64.

Within the first hour, I got two matches, which I didn't believe for a moment. I think it's them trying to get a guy to part with his money for premium features. A third match occurred during the last 24 hours. I've slowly crept my distance up to 35 miles and can run out of swipes without hitting any of the alleged people who swiped right on me. I'm not driving any further to meet anyone, especially with the habit of those using filters and what have you.

As I told my friend, it's simply an experiment, as I have no intention of paying a dime for this nonsense. I figure if I actually get as far as a match that isn't a catfish, I might have a target to play with mones, otherwise

[Johnny Fever]

OK, a friend of mine pestered me about "getting out there" again, so I decided to try yet another app for grins and giggles: Hinge.

Mind you, I trimmed my age back by a handful of years to be in my late 50s+. Well, I couldn't believe the cesspool of people on there. I have yet to swipe right on anyone. The default had my lower age search in my mid-30s, so I moved it up to the upper 40s. I tend to have conservative views (financially, daily life, etc.), and the non-paid version doesn't let you tweak your searches, so it's all a manual ordeal. Of the two people who swiped on me, they both made Lizzo look like an anorexic. It seems like here in the Northeast US, plenty of women who looked like they ran into the wall ... and kept running into it! Another tipoff is they have heavily filtered photos of their face and never show their body. There are also a couple of other tells, but even ignoring those, it seems that the quality of the women is pretty low.

And before anyone brings up meeting women in real life, that's great. Still, I have a cosmetic issue where women would immediately judge me, so they'd usually shut down, no matter how personable I am. In the past, I've been able to at least build up enough rapport for a first meeting on typical apps ... though that's usually where it ended.

It sort of reminds me why I've been content being by myself.

[Dsouza]

What I concluded was that sites like dating.com were targeting people who are lonely who want to just chat with beauty's who respond to them immediately and chase them rather than promote a site to get laid.

And if you do leave your number or email with a woman it has to be in the form of a gift.  Virtual gifts range from 50 credits  to 9000 credits I believe which is like $60 CAD to $3000 CAD or more just to leave your number or email, HOPING she is REAL and not some GUY, and will contact YOU at her convenience.

Can these websites legally stay in business like this ?

I'm going to post something extremely controversial now.

Johnny, before you ever purchase another bottle of pheromones again, don't waste you money and time. Fix your aesthetic issues first. This is what I intend to do myself. You will probably find you get much better results in life and dating overall. Yes, I now believe wholely in blackpill science too. Beauty and attraction is pretty much only skin deep, nothing more even with the fairer sex too.

A couple of watch and observes from women I have discussed attraction with has fully led me to believe this. Deceit at its best. They say they are attracted to B C  and D but choose A in the end, where A is the best looking specimen, whilst B C and D were values such as confidence  sense of humour and conversation skills.

A few sprays from a bottle of this or that cannot give an unattractive man instant sex appeal. Nor can lipstick on a pig.

Or maybe I've just been listening to ABW5.0X and had my mind totally jolted and taken all the subliminal messaging onboard into mind.

I hear what you're saying, but it would be extremely expensive to do so, let alone I couldn't afford to be away from work, nor the expense of something that radical.

I'm more of a George Costanza and not George Clooney. Not being blessed with good looks is a curse that's difficult to overcome. A small, tiny part of my looks I've experimented with by "doctoring" my photos in Photoshop. Let me say, the results are the same whether I alter the photographs or not. It's like cooking, if the base is terrible no amount of sauce or toppings can cure a bad dish.

Interestingly, enough, I got a hit on Hinge. The woman was almost 25 years younger than me. In our first two back-and-forth in-app texts, she questioned me about my height (I am shorter than what women consider "minimum height" of 5'9"). Had I been quicker on the uptake I would have questioned her about having an unverified profile. I made mention that I wasn't interested in anyone with non-adult children, which she shut down as her child was almost 8 years old. I don't know if I was being catfished or she was looking for somebody to support her, so I was actually glad it went nowhere.

Perhaps it's from watching tons of red pill content, but it seemed quite odd that a woman was considering someone 20+ years her senior, especially someone who does not remotely even look like a Chad.

[Johnny Fever]

... and to add insult to injury, I got a notification from Hinge my supposed "match" was terminated due to fraudulent activities. It seems when you're impaired on the attractiveness scale you'll likely get played. I guess if they're not verified I'll just ignore them ... not like I'm getting a crap ton of matches anyways!

When Hinge says they're the app designed to be deleted they aren't kidding! Just another cesspool of either stuck up women or scammers.

[Dsouza]

I want to point out  one more thing.

Even on sugar dating sites where men pay for dates and sex with hot sugar babies, it's a woman's game.

Women are calling the shot's online, and men are being asked to pay to keep their memberships going, to chat with women and nothing more, or to pay for dinners, or to pay for sex.

I feel the only chance at meeting women is in real life where you don't have competition like you face online or in bars.

Getting naturally good at vibing with strangers is the only way.  Sadly, most men who are not good with women are introverts to begin with.  So this doesn't help.

Even knowing what to say doesn't help if you get nervous when it's time to seduce hot women.

You notice how easy it is to talk to ugly girls without getting nervous but when a woman is a 9 or 10 your mind comes up with excuses to approach or your blinded by your own lust and by then she's GONE.

I've got core/imprint on the way.  I'm hoping this mone combo is not a dud and will aid in helping me converse at minimum with strangers throughout the day.
