People who have difficulty on dating apps want to find a scapegoat, so they scapegoat the app.

The truth is that dating markets are lemon markets. People who are "dateable" tend to find success quickly, and people who are "not dateable" tend to stay on the market. Hence over time, the market will be dominated by "not dateable" people. No dating app on the planet will magically make you a "dateable" person.

To find success on dating apps, you have to work on yourself first, and only afterwards make sure that work shows through both in your profile and in your texting.

Source: was on the apps, undateable for eight years (depression and low self esteem), went to therapy, after making huge changes to my life and getting to a point where I felt like things were going well in everything but being single, a month later I found my girlfriend (now two years together).
