Some help on online and irl dating!

Hi so I’ll keep it very short.

I’m M21 living in Germany and I have come to the conclusion that dating is tough AF here. At least for me it is.

To me it seems that certain tendencies you’d see internationally/US/UK etc. in the online space are basically absent here. Many things differ A LOT and tbh I am sort of giving up the online thing as I genuinely can’t find someone whom I’d actually start a LTR with, thus I basically struggle A LOT.

Tbh I just really wan a partner nowadays and intend to marry in my mid-late 20s.

I suppose one big factor is that i literally only have selfies and maybe one outtake pic at most. Also I’m kinda dumbfounded to what I’d actually write in a bio. Mine went along the way of:

Looking for someone to share life experiences with. Preferring the role of the passenger princess would be absolutely amazing. Not too keen on the texting and more-so a fan of the classic coffee date. You’ll see me at Film-Theaters/Pool-Table/Bowling-Lounges

About irl: I am not a shy guy whatsoever but tend to spend most if my time at places where you’d rarely encounter a girl who can be actually approached. I spend most of my time at work or at the library to dive into my studies. We have this giant library here and I thought about approaching a girl once or twice. I should add that I do not intend on interrupting studies or anything. The libraries here have break areas where people chat, enjoy some food etc. That would be one of the places I thought of approaching someone at. Also just when a girl that actually interests me is sitting across the table and seems to be packing her stuff and ready to leave, I thought that approaching might be a possibility since I’m not interrupting anything (PROBABLY)

I should add that many women in terms of online dating automatically fall out of my realm of possibilities just because I’m around 5.5ft. I to have a really good face and physique but I think that many would just swipe left the same way I do with someone way taller. Even though most are actually shorter than me HAHAHA. FYI: I have no issues with my height whatsoever and take great pride in other aspects of my life. It’s just a fact. But fortunately I grew past that a long time ago.

Thanks for the advice/suggestions and DAMN I DID NOT KEEP IT SHORT.

Also a small follow up question: what do you even do after securing some kind of contact info and have tlaked about the basic stuff like food/series/interests/hibbies?

Small note: not looking for hookups or anything at all. I am seeking a genuine connection. I would really like to hear some of you’re women’s/girls’s opinion in the library thing. Or even similar experiences from my male BODDAS

Cheap bike workshop?

Hi so I’ve got to fix my rear bicycle wheel but most places are kinda expensive.

I’m a student and just wanna save some €. Uni starts soon so I’d like to get it done in the next dew weeks but SONCE I’M A STUDENT I don’t have too much to spare tbh. Does anyone know a somewhat affordable bike workshop? I could (maybe) being the part myself. So basically the outer “Ring” of my wheel has been bent. The metal “sticks?” Are still intact though. So I’d basically have to transfer my old “Nabe” to a new aluminum wheel.

Anyone noticing reduced positive activity?

Hi so I’m M21 (Berlin, Germany) by no means a GigaChad or anything but I used to have a pretty good ratio of matches:dates and matches:likes(compared to the avg).

Recently I’ve genuinely stopped receiving any positive indicators from Bumble and tbh even indicators at all.

I have genuinely received 1 like in the whole span of 2-3 weeks. OF COURSE the problem could absolutely be me but this was just an I’ve made.

And tbh I have noticed even giving out less likes compared to my last time using it (march 2025).

FYI: My looks stayed pretty much the same except for being leaner (which is never visible). I have also added ONE workout picture compared to before.

I have read several reports from women’s POV’s explaining the same experience.
