Why don’t you use a dating app?

  1. I’m not looking for a relationship since I’m in one currently. Jokes aside, my friends are on the apps and they hate it. I did use tinder when it first came out like 12 or so years ago and didn’t enjoy it. I don’t know why some people use it when they don’t like it.

  2. It would really piss my husband off but he cheated on me in my dreams this week so maybe I will…

    >!I know dreams aren’t real, I’m not taking this seriously, we’re laughing about this together!<

  3. Too transactional. Lots of unicorn hunters. Far too many ghosters Sexploiters arent sexy. Misogynists are everywhere, and—weirdly enough—too many teenagers (18-19 y/os). I used it briefly and am not interested again.

  4. im afraid of people i know finding me . id like to know new people even though i do have options in real life but what if someone recognises me. no thanks

  5. I want my man to fall from the sky into my room, with sword dangling on his waist and books of wisdom/romance/poetry on his hands and talking in middle age english. Unfortunately dating apps doesn’t have this kind of men there.

  6. When I was single, the apps gave me poor results. It was a mix of Asian fetishists, mommy’s basement boys, and one persistent stalker.

    I met my husband through work. And I’m happy with him. 🙂

  7. the whole process of online dating feels too contrived/artificial to me, and i don’t enjoy it. i much prefer meeting people organically in my everyday life

  8. Because it’s a scam and I don’t like to work for free as bait so man will pay.

  9. I dislike the smell of 99% of the population and I absolutely can not tell from photos if I will like someone’s smell. Online dating makes zero sense for me.

    I have had 40+ first dates through dating apps and knew with all of them after 2 seconds that this would not work out. 

    Meanwhile when I am somewhere where I meet a lot of new people, I am immediately attracted to at least a few. 

  10. It completely drains my energy, and it is better spent paying attention to my dog. I have only had terrible relationships and AWFUL dates from the apps. I have completely lost interest and would much rather meet the love of my life organically.

  11. meat market, so hard to find someone serious to commit a relationship with.

  12. Every conversation lasts about 15 minutes before they start talking about sex and hooking up. I’ll pass

  13. I find texting to strangers boring since it rarely leads anywhere and searching for a partner online lacks the romantic aspect for me. I never get any spark from anyone before I meet them in person so it’s hard to keep myself interested.

  14. Because men can’t keep a proper conversation. The convo starts normal and good and then they go full on sexual from a non sexual answer.. Like??? Why???

  15. My mom drilled a fear in me from a young age of getting kidnapped and murdered. You don’t know who you’re meeting on those apps. I’ll stick with the real world and pray God leads me in the right direction.

  16. First, I’m not interested. I’m monogamous and happily married.

    Second, I prefer meeting people through more organic and naturally interactive ways. It wouldn’t occur to me to use an app for that

  17. I’m in a relationship now, but back when I was single, I was on three different dating apps. All of them were horrid experience.

    One guy turned out to be a stalker, another took me on a date to a local cemetery, and another one got so offended when I rejected a kiss that he wrote me a whole essay as to why he would be ashamed to even date me and why his family would never accept me (honorable mention, I only knew him for a day).

    Crazy experiences all along.

    Also, the fact that most of the people just didn’t take dating apps too seriously. I was looking for a serious relationship, and I feel like I just kept getting matches with people who were either using the app to kill some time (boredom) or find one night stands.

    I know there are success stories, but the app just didn’t really work for me.

    Luckily, I found my love once I went to uni and we’re still together.

  18. I find it overwhelming responding to people via text. The talking and dating multiple men simultaneously is actually exhausting and creates a lot of anxiety for me

  19. Because I’m tired. I’m tired of the constant swiping, fixing my profile over and over, being roasted, men being overly sexual/rude/nasty with me. I’m tired of being stood up for dates, dealing with men who have bad/hidden intentions, being anxious I’ll be kidnapped/murdered. I’m just…tired. I once had in my profile that I liked video games/anime. Some guy I matched with told me, and I quote: “Guys don’t like girls who play video games. But since you’re cute, they’ll make an exception for you.” he also told me that anime and video games are cringe and a waste of time, and that I should just go outside. I’m tired boss.

  20. Because I’m not fussed about dating. If I happen to meet someone in life and get on with them and want to date them great. But if not I’m very content and happy with single life. I wouldn’t go out of my way to find someone to date.

  21. I have a husband. I use bumble best friend and I have made two great friendships there.

  22. i provided my fair share of free sex to men in the early 00’s. now i built a self-esteem.

    also tbh i’m not interested in dating because most my relationships where bad. is it my fault ? probably, but is it a reason to ask for more ? hell no.

  23. I’ve been told I’m a silly/odd person by friends in a way that doesn’t translate well to online conversation. I’ve had very easy success in real life and none online.
