What do people think about dating Apps? I'm 42 I have looked on one that brings people up in my area. But I'm really unsure. There are a few people I like but alot of them make my skin crawl. I'm not being horrible. Or is it best to go down the LGBT route for a few months attending meets? Rade
Hey there, I've tried apps... it's a difficult situation because everyone will have a different experience. I have met some really nice friends and we now chat off the apps. I have also met some people who literally only want one thing or they feel they can either just send "those kinds of photos" or request them. It really is a mixed bag out there in "app land". Sometimes the conversation will be going well and it lasts... sometimes it fades. I used to try to keep them going but this time round, decided that if that's how it's going to be, best leave it and not dwell.
The apps aren't the greatest way to meet anyone you actually care about. They're mostly for hookups and it's a 50/50 chance whether the person is normal or creepy. I actually just got back from an app hookup a few minutes ago, and it was fun, but that's all that should be expected from them. The majority of conversations on apps just die for no reason once one person gets bored and stops answering too, don't take it personally. Oh and yeah getting spammed with nude pictures or people begging for yours is common.
That's what I like about EC....you can get other peoples views before jumping in and having regrets later. Thank you to the people who have replied. All this is new to me. I'm very open minded but would never share pictures of my body on these sites. I have to think of my career and people could try and blackmail someone. Rade
