ONLINE DATING APPS - 5 TIPS FOR MEN

 

In the increasingly developing digital era, some people find it hard to enter into a relationship traditionally, so they turn their eyes to online dating apps. Those have replaced newspaper advertisements occasionally used to find a partner before the digital era. The early internet era saw the emergence of instant messengers like ICQ, which could be used to find a partner. The author of this piece is among those who remember them.

 

But it was the 2010s that saw a boom in online dating. Now even reputable sources, like The Washington Post, publish tips for online dating. Exploiting the popularity of online dating, apps, and websites now charge payments, often for unlocking matches or sending advanced compliments, such as the famous Tinder. A few online dating websites and apps are completely free of charge.

 

Precaution

Many scams and fake profiles target men and women, mainly for financial gain. Several dating apps introduced profile verification that safeguards against fake identities, so try searching among verified profiles. But if you feel that a particular unverified profile appears trustful and natural enough, you can also try it. You would typically want to meet your online match in real life eventually.

 

ExpressVPN highlights a thing known as catfishing when a criminal adopts a fake identity on a dating platform and feigns interest in their victims to con them. After earning their victim's trust, typically through declarations of love, the scammer either asks for financial help or for the victim's intimate photos that can later be used to blackmail them.

 

Video Calls

Many dating websites, programs, and apps have the video call option, which allows you to verify your match and check them out without asking for their phone number. Use it whenever you feel it's appropriate. If you're connected through your wi-fi network, this would be even better than wasting your phone balance through calling or SMS texting.

 

The More, the Better

If you're up for dating, register on as many free websites and apps as possible, including Tinder. That would increase your chances of finding a match or having a backup match in case others fail. If you speak some foreign languages, try dating websites in those languages as well.
Browse as many profiles as you can daily. You may wish to avoid paid features, and rightly so. However, if your Tinder profile, for example, amassed many hidden likes, you can pay for the cheapest option to unlock them. In such a case, write to all those girls you like, so they remain in your contacts after the paid period ends. This trick works in most paid dating websites and apps since nearly all of them use similar business models.

 

Meeting in Person

As you text with your potential matches, figure out how long they want to write. You may ask directly or just by offering to meet. Some people require more time to get to know you, while others would agree to meet you straight after receiving some basics about you. Lastly, manage your budget before offering a real-life meeting, and during it - wait to order or buy expensive things just to impress them on the first meeting - this may backfire if you get the brush.

 

Happily Ever After

Once decided, do not surrender even after a seemingly long losing streak. Be bold but not reckless. Meet everyone who agrees, even if some of them didn't come. Chances are you'll finally find someone who will share all ups and downs of fate with you.
