 TBH, I was on a rampage after my last relationship that ended a calendar year ago. Apps served their purpose getting me through that time, but also left a lot to be desired.

Apps are the only way I know to secure 3-4 dates a week, and if you show up with good energy and you can afford to pay the bill, you’re getting laid.

In that way, as long as you can control your emotions, it’s great, but if you’re looking for something serious, it takes much more scrutiny and digging because women generally have exponentially more options than men on those apps, and you just can’t trust that level of casual promiscuity. 
 See, this is what these app create. This type of behavior. Its honesty disgusting no offense. To use another person like that. The creator of these apps knows exactly people will use this tech to exploit another person for their satisfaction. Its so morally wrong. Both men and women are doing this. Their growing up thinking this is healthy and normal. A kids first dating experience will easily he this and its groomed an entire generation into pervertedness. 

3-4 dates per week. Thats terrible! That only tells me women refuse another date with you or that its only dating for 1 night stands. There needs to be a serious change in terminology. There is datind and there are one night stands. Never confuse the two.

Sounds like you are with someone now longterm? Happy for you if you are. 💪🙏 
 They're* 
 I’m with someone now.

God willing, I won’t ever use those rubbish apps again 🙏
