Maybe I'm running too much **** boy game and relying on the looks. Got two FBs out of it, several other lays and one short-term gf. I'm on a break now.

I was doing well with the same photos on Bumble before that. So IDK if I'm shadow banned or what. Also, you need to be attractive on Tinder and Hinge. They'd often send me the first message and like me first.

When I started Bumble in the summer, I didn't get any likes/matches despite using the same photos as I was using on Hinge and Tinder where I was getting thousands of likes/matches. I don't know what that was about.

I mean, the dating market has certainly become far more difficult for the vast majority of men. I'd consider myself decent looking based on my results, but even then there's still the issue of the overly competitive dating market (online dating exacerbates this) where you can simply be replaced...

Thanks for all the wisdom and responses. I really appreciate the advice.

That's true. I've certainly learned a lot from recent experiences. Failures can certainly be a blessing.

Hi. I've noticed that I often dwell on past failures (first date or club rejections or when relationships fizzle out) and I seem to have a habit of letting it define me/ruin my confidence, whereas I seem to overlook past successes. A couple of years ago I went on about eight first dates in a...

All I'm saying is that not all men need to approach.

It isn't a tragedy for me. I've never needed to approach.

Why is it necessarily an issue?

Nope, not approached a woman in person since 2012.

Plenty of guys already have your belief about average women, even in bars and other places, where they'll be less picky and more down to earth and the hot ones are completely unobtainable. It isn't just on the apps.

Then why are many average and below women extremely picky and get inundated on apps?

That can certainly transfer over to real life. I've seen even decent looking guys getting rejected by horrendous looking women. Even at bars, men can be so desperate to go for ugly women as they think that less men will be into them and less competition. Women are just far more picky overall...

Don't lead with your wallet, bro. That's a terrible idea.

There is a lot of truth to it. Look at the amount of attention hideous/average women get on apps. Often, they're even more stuck up.

Often, the 4s, 5s and 6s can be extremely picky as many men have the attitude that they will be easier due to getting less attention than more attractive women. This is known as "Juggernaut theory".

Luckily I've never led with my wallet.

I'm very Anglo looking (English), how would I likely fare in Eastern Europe?

Yeah, as said to others this was a big learning curve for me. I was dating two others as well but this one was my favourite and I was getting attached, hence my erratic behaviour. I'm actually grateful for this experience as it taught me a lot about myself.
