I've been using Tinder and Bumble for over a year and barely got any success using those apps. At most I got like 8 matches and 5 of them were bots and the rest were just uninterested that never replied when I asked "Hi, how's your day?". It's frustrating because I'm introverted and was hoping that these platforms help people on the spectrum but when they require Shakespear-ian poetry to get someone to have a conversation, and I'm a math major, not an English major.

Anyone tried using these apps? What was your experience like?

I tried LOTS of dating sites & I never gotten so much as a single date from them. I've met the three girlfriends I've had on online forums. The first was an intrest we both shared & I met my second & current on this forum. It took aLOT of posting thou but trying to get a relationship offline never worked for me either.

What would you do in real life to improve your chances of meeting a woman in real life?

I'm currently going out to a young adult church group, but I think the problem is that I'm overweight and my looks are holding me back. Here's an idea, if you go to the Instagram page @pursuitlbs you'll see the types of women in the class and how they'd likely reject me if I ask them out. I'm working on lowering my body fat to 15% and getting specialty eye drops (Upneeq) to fix my droopy eyelids in order to improve my appearance.

Use better pictures.

Remove bad pics (i.e. blurry, sunglasses, uneven lighting, too much lighting, not enough lighting, group photos with too many peoples, bathroom selfies, car selfies, pics of you at your desk).

Use a phone with a good camera or a DSLR camera. Watch some guides on portrait photography. Take hundreds of pictures and select the best 5-7 pics. Take new pics every week. Take pics at parks, cities or social events.

Get a friend to take pics of you, or get a stand that can hold your camera/phone so it doesn't look like you're taking it yourself.
