| There are pros and cons, but I like dating apps because you get to learn about them from their profile. You get to see their views on politics, religion, kids, what they're looking for, what they do in their free time, and if there's an incompatibility, you know then instead of weeks or months of da... |

I'm generally fine with it.
Though if I'm out with people either of us know (i..e friends,family, coworkers, etc), I'd be tasteful with it. |

| If people are worried about being labeled as a creep, maybe talking to women in a friendly way/getting to know them as people should be considered rather than hitting on them. Just a thought. Yeah. It helps to not get invested in a particular end result (i.e. them dating you). You don't even know t... |

| From a dating app. We met at a bar. Talked for a few hours, about all sorts of aspects of our lives (upbringing, job, values, plans for our future, goals, our flaws, challenges we have in life). We were both extremely honest to each other, and the fact that we both were positive about it, and neithe... |

| This is not only a small sample, but also a biased sample. Reddit is disproportionately young men. Also, men with relationships (or active dating lives) are less likely to spend time on forums discussing these kinds of topics. It helps to have a real social life outside and not rely on reddit for da... |

Here's what I'd suggest. Start by making friends and finding social groups as a foundation. This will (a) help you develop yo... |

| Starting a business sounds really appealing, but I don't think everyone is meant to do the sacrifice. Starting a business means you may be working 9 to 9 instead of a 9 to 5. You'll likely have to give up your social life, dating life, hobbies, entertainment, travelling, etc. just to get the busines... |

| It's worth it if you have an actual plan of what you want to do, and are studying a program that has a reasonable chance of leading to a career. But the question is: is college something that YOU actually intrinsically want to do? Or are you just doing it because you feel like you're supposed to, or... |

One of the core purposes of college is to prepare you for a career.
And if you want to get into a career field, having people skills are beneficial. |

| Putting on weight with age is more of a lifestyle (rather than genetic) 1) They take on more responsibilities (family, kids, career) and put less attention into their physique 2) They get into a marriage/long-term relationship and they gain happy-relationship weight. 3) If people are less physically... |

| I think this is a counterproductive mindset. Having to add an extrinsic reward for exercise is basically convincing yourself that exercise is fundamentally undesirable and not a reward in itself. You're basically making an association in your brain as exercise=chore. A better solution would be to fi... |

| I really don't understand why people lie. It's way more effective (and ethical) to just be honest. If someone doesn't like you for who you are, you can move on from them faster. And if they do like you for who you are, you can build an emotional connection with them faster. Long-term, lies will catc... |

| Niche dating apps with smaller populations will have very few people in your radius, unless maybe you live in a very large city. It's better to try a mainstream dating app like Bumble or Hinge. Smaller dating apps also have less active populations. Maybe the people you swiped on don't even use the a... |
