I would be so frustrated if I was having to deal with that--swiping for 1000s, barely getting one lousy date out of it all:( Seems like online dating is like to going to a sausage party:)
Some of my guy friends express similar frustration, but it isn't necessarily that they're not finding women. Plenty of women are willing to converse with them and willing to go out with them. Instead, the problem some of my guy friends are having is that the women they WANT to go out with aren't responding or aren't willing to converse or go on dates with them. So I guess that's a different kind of problem. Makes me wonder if...they'd have the conversations and dates if they'd give the women they initially ignore a chance.
Me, I just plan to keep plugging away 'til something works out. I hope you keep persevering as well!
