Swiping left, swiping rightsome days it feels like you’re just scrolling through an endless stream of half-interested strangers, hoping for a spark that never comes. If dating apps leave you feeling more drained than desired, you’re not aloneburnout, ghosting, and empty small talk have made so many people question if the emotional cost is really worth it anymore. Maybe you crave something deeper, or you’re just tired of being a highlight reel for people who don’t stick around. That doesn’t mean you’re giving up on love; maybe it means you’re giving yourself permission to want more than an algorithm can offer. So, be honest: are dating apps really bringing you closer to what you wantor pulling you further away from it Credits: Script

So first of all, I feel like this video is meant for women if anything, only because in order to feel the 7 signs mentioned in this video, you actually have to GET matches and experience those feelings first I cant say its the same experiences for men as it is for women only because we all know in general how much more matches a woman gets as opposed to men. That being said, the FEW experience men have is all they have to go from. Women can definitely relate to this video more since they are the ones feeling all these signs with the more and more dates they go on. Since men will generally have less experiences, THEY are the ones that actually have to perform and stand out since they cant just go home at the end of a date and choose to go on another one the next day like women! I was in the dating app scene for about a year after being in a failed relationship, to being in the one I am today. In that year, I never felt more exhausted, tirer, burnt out, and overall just sick of swiping and just losing hope on love. I get theres other ways to meet people, but I'll be honest, it just isnt that easy for me to just go up to strangers and bother them randomly! So that being said, all I had was dating apps to rely on, and I would actually get MANY matches surprisingly for a dude thats 5'5 and not the finest looking person on earth. But what I lacked in those areas, I made up with personality and jokes, but even that sometimes wouldnt be enough for some women. It was a horrible experience, but I finally ended up finding this beautiful princess in my hometown, and she actually wants the same things I want, a serious relationship. She didnt play games, always kept it real, and was genuine from day 1. I couldnt ask for more in a society full of women that are the complete opposite of what my current partner offers, so I say, good luck to you guys out there, like honestly, because the dating world is scary, cruel, and generally pathetic. Don't give up though, theres always someone out there for somebody, you just have to pusb through

Exactly why I gave up on dating apps. I value genuine connection and emotional maturity and communication. I am so damaged and hurt inside from ghosting lies and constant lack of respect. Most people have no compassion and no trust whatsoever and that makes it impossible to connect with someone because I know it’s hard but you have to give people a fair chance and let them into your life in a reasonable amount of time otherwise people like me will just not see the point and be hurt. I am not saying trust someone right away but at least don’t assume that they are out to hurt you right off the bat and treat them like they are terrible people. Get to know people fairly. I want honesty and real people. I am completely broken inside and I have been ghosted far too much and nobody cares about how much they hurt people. I am sick of flaky ignorant people. I also am TIRED of people ASSUMING THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO DOESN’T PAY FOR A APP IS NOT REAL! Because that’s further from the truth. Not everyone who can’t pay for an app is fake. Money doesn’t mean anything. And yeah I gave up on dating apps and I don’t think there is someone who would want me let alone want to be in a relationship with me. I have dreams and things I can’t achieve unless I find someone who wants the same things or is supportive enough to want to do those things and I want genuine real lasting relationships that are a compatible fit. But I don’t drive and I have disabilities that I can’t fix even if I want to. Believe me I never want to be so limited and unable to do certain things but to judge me based on what i literally cannot do is not fair.

The only reason I use dating apps is because they allow me to clearly spell out my expectations and boundaries in writing. It’s a communication tool. If people used it right, it’d actually work better for most of us.
Instead a lot of people use them out of boredom’, for their own entertainment’ by trying to snag as many likes and matches as they can, or as some perverse form of therapy by looking for someone to complement their own attachment disorder. This is people’s own fault.
I’m open to dating women of lots of different backgrounds, but I can’t on dating apps. People on dating apps more often expect an instant spark or chemistry, and have no patience to wait for this to develop. So even if I swipe on a woman that’s outside of my type and so I take longer to get to know her, she gets bored and moves onto the next.
Whose fault is that exactly
It is childish. It is as if I am expected to play the role of an entertainer’ and constantly surprise her with new things in the honeymoon’ phase. It literally feels like the expectation on dating apps is to lovebomb the other person to convince them that you’re genuinely interested, sometimes before you’ve even met them. The fact that I’m talking to them and willing to sacrifice my valuable time to meet them in person, apparently isn’t enough.
I mostly behave on dating apps same as I do in real life. I’m not prepared to jump into some alternate persona and pretend I am prematurely obsessed with someone just to convince them that I’m interested. Ridiculous.

So, my experiences with dating apps:
Parship - A somewhat serious dating webpage, where they advertise to find Mr/Ms Right: Complete and utter ignorance, cause women there are looking for the perfect match. If there is one tiny little flaw, you are out.
Be it not a perfect profile pic, not the right check boxes clicked or answered and you are off. Was there for one year and it annihilated that little self esteem I had built up back then.
TInder: Was there twice, one, where I haven't paid a dime and one time, I paid to push my profile up. Even got some matches, but, when I tried to start a conversation and thanked them for the match, I mostly even got dematched. Even heard, that some just want you in their match list, so that they can show off, how many men are interested. It was extremly frustrating.
Erotic focused dating apps: At least there, I had the chance to start a conversation and talk to the women a little bit. Some even showed interest, but were afraid to get into the next level. I even reduced my price to just One-Night-Stands or F at that time, but even there you either got ripped off, rejected or both. Women there aren't interested in you or are afraid, I don't know and I I don't care anymore.
All in all, I don't feeld lonely I feel extremly frustrated, because you try to be a nice and understanding human being but as a reward, you just get ignorance. Of course, not every woman will have interest in you, but every one I have communicated with
No, I'm done with this. I'm happy with my solitude.

I've been on and off different dating apps over the years and I almost never get a match and when I do, they usually unmatch after I say one thing (maybe the accidentally swiped right. I've tried many other things that are within my price range (dating coaches and match making services are incredibly expensive and just as likely to result in failure.
Fact is that in Australia, people are incredibly shallow. They want a rugged, tall man with a handsome face and ideally making decent money so that they don't have to cook or clean. I am none of those things. I'm just an unlovable abomination questioning why I even exist when not even my parents loved me; it's not like they had planned for me as a teenager. True they chose to raise me instead of having an abortion or smothering me in my sleep (it was still kind of a thing in the 80's, and only in recent years have people chose more extreme methods to get rid of their unwanted children) but was it really worth it when between all that they did to their body prior to having me and the lack of love and support at home growing up led to me now
Being a good person isn't enough nor is being able to manage finances because you earn so little or taking care of the house or any number of other things one might want in a partner. Not to say I am perfect; nobody is, but it would be nice to be given a chance instead of being passed over merely because I have an unappealing face

My mom suggested me to try tinder (currently 25) obviously wants me to get out of my shell I've never dated anyone not even in middle school or high school I'm just that guy that's not very social and honestly have difficult time fitting in (possibly have autism or on the spectrum but gonna find out if I'm diagnosed) but back to the subject i just feel like I'm not meant for dating even if i want to i feel I'm not interesting and social enough I'm just a very quiet person i never know what to talk about or keep up in an conversation more like boring hate to call myself that i wish I can change myself and how my mind works but i feel like it's true. maybe i haven't found myself yet but I'll keep trying and find out if i am diagnosed because i truly see signs that i might either be in spectrum or autistic P. S i get nervous to try the tinder app for these reasons
1. I most likely might not be interesting enough
2. I can see myself getting ghosted a lot
3. Have a feeling i could be catfished (which is pretty sketchy and could be dangerous)

I m 47, chronic illness with disabilities (walking is random and stamina even more random) plus I have been in an abusing relationship.
So imagine how it goes on a dating app, when you can t travel as you wish, live with your parent because alone would be tricky and despite motricity problem, you prefer people who practice sport to some extend and can hold a conversation
Lots of one night offer on top of that when you tried but have never been in that mindset (I have no problem with people who can handle it, it s just that it makes me feel like a mere body, not a person.
I dunno how it goes abroad, but in France it s complicated however you try to get out of being lonely already when you work etc and can go out
(I m single for about 10/12 years but lots have made me like my pets company better.

I'm 23 and I've tried some dating apps the past few years, not really expecting anything but I wanted to at least try it out and see what happens
Not surprisingly, I didn't find anything meaningful in these apps, but what hurts me more is that from every rejction I ever got from girls that I know in real life, I've tried learning from these failiures and making myself better in every aspect I could, yet I still find myself in the same spot, constantly jumping back to square one, stuck in a never ending loop of but what did I do wrong this time
I've been thinking about giving up multiple times, but a part of me still has hope, It's like there's this one blockade in my mind that I need to break, even though it feels like I've done everything I could, but maybe I haven't, I don't know anymore.

I'll actually be trying online dating soon. A friend recommended I try it. It will most likely not yield any results. However, it may be better than my near constant social isolation. I've been single my whole 26 years, so I think it's time I try something to change that. There is a 99 percent chance that no woman I know will ever confess love for me, since they don't find me attractive. I know I am an attractive guy that any woman would be lucky to date, but I also know that the women I've interacted with just don't see me as their type of guy.
As such, I believe that online dating is at least worth a try to try to find that special woman for me. It worked for my brother, even though he is a cowardly mama's boy. As such, it may work for me too.

I truly enjoyed your guys video and have viewer for years. This video has confirm I silently gave up on dating apps as I want a genuine connection with someone who wsnts something longterm and is ready to pursue that. But I've experienced alot of emotional unavailability or people not being able to manage their stress and say their ready but then meet and realize they are not. It can just be truly draning and disappointing. But I know the love is there for me and i want to give that to someone as well. But the video you guy's mentioned about who would be a good pairing for you I would love to see. As a fellow 26 year old I want to have the hope that it will happen but also reminding myself two or more emotions can exist at the same time

I didn't even try dating options once but to hear what is alone - not just here but in general - makes me feel exhausted. I don't like being written out like a poorly written character profile in a book and to talk to others because of what they've written in their profiles feels just as awkward and played.
Sure there's a reason these platforms exist and the intentions are good in theory, but I've pulled the low quality card in life to begin with, so despite me hating being all alone (I am introverted, yes, but even people like me need some company, it's safer to stay alone especially after being bullied and ghosted irl for way too many times, rather than to spend time with one of the worst things to do in my books, which is smalltalk.

Well I have been on dating apps for a few years now. Got only a few dates out of it 3 to 4 dates. Also those were pretty much the only matches i got besides the bot matches if not ghosted. But in like 4 years having like 30 matches in total counting also the ghosted and bot matches. Wondering now if it is just my looks, that I am not funny or that I am too serious and building up a life I believe I am still an average dude a nice guy by my friends. But lately it's getting exhausted to try. Even starting to hear from my own parents about a future you don't have a wife and most likely will be alone or with a robot is getting even more painful. Anybody else in the same ship

Dating and app dating generally is work. Dating does consist of putting it in effort and it feels like an interview with different individuals. If most individuals are honest from the start and give the other person the opportunity to see if they want to go further or not. (I. e. do you want to have children, do you want to get married one day, do you enjoy what you do for work) It's about asking the right questions. It's not a red flag. If you're truly interested in getting to know someone. Just like on dating apps, it's like playing roulette but you do have more power of ruling out which individuals are not worth the time.

26 years old guy here. Went on a date with a girl last week. Prior, we texted and video call several times. Every time we call, it felt like we were getting closer and on the day of the date enjoyed each other’s company and held hands and even kissed. Overall it was great date, but now I think I’m dealing with an avoidant. We had little to no communication after the date. Her response gets shorter and shorter. I can’t believe I had a great time talker to her almost everyday but now it’s nothing. Can’t even think of a time where I did anything wrong during the date. Oh well, time to move on.

i lowk had enough of dating apps LOL ive redownloaded hinge like 5 times since the past year (i started last year) and ive gone on enough dates and experienced so much ghosting that ive accepted it and moved on with dating apps. i asked my friends about what they think of my attitude of dating and they say that i am aware of the fact dating should be natural instead of something forced but i force it on myself. i always think about what my friends said and i remind myself that anytime i feel lonely. i am currently learning to focus on myself and improve my habits so that i am prepared for the real thing.

I stopped online dating after literally being told several times that my financial circumstancesaren’t ideal’. I don’t own my own home and am self employed.
Whilst it says more about those women than about me, it is still hurtful. They were very self obsessed when talking about. The 3 women that I spoke to all had their husbands leave them. Sadly I can see why.
I’m not sure how to find a lady now. I’m 48 and think I’ll just see if something happens naturally in person somehow.

Thank you for doing a video on this. I've been doing a dating app called Boo and I have recently been ghosted. again. I was beginning to wonder if something is just wrong with me and I've been tired of having hope that things will go somewhere then they don't. Your video has definitely helped me realize that maybe I just need to leave the app and allow myself to heal rather than just keep trying despite being afraid of repeating the process of either being ghosted or let down.

I've been using grindr for some time now and I've shown ALL these symptoms of dating burnout, but I still use the app because sometimes I just feel bored or a little horny or both. I tell myself this is just a temporary distraction, and I think that's okay, I'm not looking for dating anymore, at least for now, I want to focus on myself and have a little fun one in a while. Anyway, that was my rant, always love your W videos!
reply

I remembered I left the dating app since 2017 because of one guy putting a ridiculous rules that you must abide by and he's good looking but I didn't accepted his rules or him. I just moved on and deleted the dating app. Few years later I saw a video about this same guy and it's horrifying and I thanked myself for not entertaining him and his rules because omg. These women are not saying his name but we know who it is.
reply

I haven't been on a date since the apps were launched, not because I used the apps, but because apps changed the prospects to meet up for everyone except for those who are the most desirable.
I tried online dating for four years. I never even went on a date with someone I met online. Either I'm the ugliest man on the planet or the apps distill you down to a picture and a paragraph, and nobody wants to read mine.
