Is there an issue with the "quality" of men on dating apps?
My sister in law is telling me to get back out there again, she's telling me to try a dating app (either Hinge or Bumble). I'll admit, I have almost no confidence in the apps, and I make up roadblocks for myself (long story) but she said something that was really interesting, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
She was referring to the "fake" roadblocks I've made for myself, and said something like "look, there are significantly more men than women on dating apps, that is true, but the bar is in literal hell."
She expanded her point, essentially just saying men are only out for sex, don't want something long term, are immature, etc. she said I have a lot going for me and despite being more on the average side of looks, id likely have success.
I may have a sample bias, but all people I personally associate with are super kind, nice people to be around, it makes me think there are more kind/good intentioned men than those being disrespectful, selfish and just wanting to hookup.
So I figured I'd ask here, what was/is your experience on dating apps? Is what my SIL said true (to some extent)? I do want to get back out there, but I don't even have good pictures of myself to be honest, I am not very photogenic tbh. Obviously this is a generalization but it got me thinking for sure.
Any insight would be great! Thank you all!
