I think this is a very reasonable take, I’m not sure where the hate for dating apps comes from.

I am a very average looking man (I’d say look wise I’d be considered a 7/10) and never had a problem using dating apps in the Bay Area, they worked as intended for me, I had experiences with Tinder, Bumble and OkCupid mostly.

Sure you have to work a bit for it, but I dated dozens of women, had very fun times, and ultimately met my wife there.

Most of my friends had a similar experience. The convenience that dating apps brought to my life is remarkable, in my opinion.
