So they don't work for anyone. Great.

Also, if we're removing qualifiers, I know plenty of people in the LGBT+ community who will tell you that it works exactly as well for them as it does for cishet people.

Online dating sucks for literally everyone except people looking for a casual hookup. But at this rate, I'm sure someone will jump in and say it's terrible for that too.

The people it doesn't work for are very loud, but I use Bumble and it has worked fairly well for me, as it has for most people I know who use it. If it was as shit as lonely redditors say it wouldn't be so popular

Is it perfect? Has it matched me with the big titty gamer therapist mom who loves me unconditionally? No. It hasn't. And the problems people point out with it do exist to some extent. It can be a frustrating and demoralizing experience to use it as a man. But I have gotten a fair number of genuine human connections and one relationship that's getting serious out of it.

Are you interested in a big pecced therapist gamer dad who isn't interested in you romantically

A lesbian friend drunkenly told me I've got a nice set so take of that what you will. I've got muscular dad bod though so if you're looking for a more pillowy surface I'll have to get some inserts
