Ridiculous standards in dating apps.

Saw an acquaintance using bumble. The men in profiles literally look highly successful, From IIT, IIM, NIFT , Founder and what not.

It was really raining overqualified guys on the platform.

Felt like real waste for the first time and thought that hot shot guys like them couldnt land a date, a commoner is out of question.

What do you all say guys ???? That platform instantly makes me introspect where I failed in life.

Yeah that's true. Go to LinkedIn to find real prospects

That would risk the account being banned from the platform.

Use matrimony websites… Narrow down your requirements and you will feel better… Bharat Matrimony has more profiles than Tinder, Bumble etc. 🤣

Dating via dating apps is flawed. It's designed to keep you single by showing you better prospects (for girls) and hiding you from the pack until you pay heavily sometimes even that doesn't work (for guys). So just give up already on them for your own sanity. There are numerous studies/TED talks over the internet to prove this.
Instead, go try out talking to people irl, meet people at some hobby class and build something from there. This has worked so much better for me than any of the dating apps (not that they haven't worked, the success rate is better irl).
Just be confident and have good conversation skills and be slightly good looking (lol).

Bumble Premium+ post mortem/breakdown +observations

Tl;Dr - 100+ matches in less than a week, but the experience still sucks as a guy.

Hadn't tried using premium+ on bumble, it was them basically copying Tinder in this aspect by tiering the likes and features further.

Seems like most d...

So… any plans for marriage?

^That’s my parents’ new favorite question, like I can just slot it between investor meetings and product launches.

And yeah, they’re not wrong. By the time I’m ready, I’ll need to have found someone. You can’t just fast-forward to a r...
