I hope you have tried more than Tinder.

I tried Bumble recently and went on a date. I found out the lady was married and had a kid before but went just to up my social muscle without any intention. The lady said she was interested but felt I was not putting in as much effort. My psychological attitude may have had an effect but I am also introverted.

This is not different to the way I have approached job interviews in the past.

It is a slightly dickish thing to do, but without recent interview experience, how do I pass interviews? So I apply for places where I am unlikely to want employment and get the confidence I need for the interview at the place I do want to be.

That's the one where the woman initiates contact, right? I prefer that.

We are meant to go to these things without much expectation. As long as you are civil and don't have bad intention, I don't see an issue. Women reject men all the time.

Yes, it is. It is better than Tinder but still hard. After weeks of using it, I have only ever got three matches from women, Two did not respond.

I switched it to BFF (i.e friendship) and matches with guys are more common. It seems like online is so easy for women.

I wonder what the proportion of men to women is on these sites.
Tinder has a gender imbalance, with 75% of users identifying as male.

And many of the ‘women’ are bots?

Decided to give this another go but I will be assisted with AI profile photos and text. Read a study that shows how effective this is. Lots of paid and some free tools. Will share later what I used but as an example:

For free profiles this is pretty good, witty and free. You can regenerate sections until you are happy,

Got the photoai.me results and I'm actually quite happy, there are pics I can use.

By witty, do you mean over-the-top? Seeing some of what it has generated for me has me thinking that I could have some fun with this.
