Tinder : Anyone else get depressed swiping?
Like yeah, none of y’all are gonna match, and if you do you wont reply or you’ll just unmatch randomly.
But tinder’s all I got so I guess I gotta keep swiping, hoping something will change.

Personally sounds like you should take a couple months off the app.
What you should do instead is get out more find a hobby now that covid restrictions are opening in the US find a new friend group and hopefully they can help you meet someone.
I picked up some new hobbies took a break from the app and then when I came back a couple months later I found my current girlfriend. You can’t force it Just invest in yourself and find a way to make yourself happy without someone else.
Can you try other apps? You have to remember, not everyone is on Tinder. Guess it depends on what you are looking for. I’m on FB Dating, Hinge and Bumble. I’m not actively swiping on all of them, but it puts me out there to a broader audience. xylode is right in the sense of finding something outside. Not EVERYONE is with someone. It just seems that way at times. And the people with someone wish they weren’t at times. I do get bummed every now and again having not had anyone special in my life for the past 18 months, but at least I’m not with someone because I don’t enjoy being single.
Idk about fully depressed about it. Definitely got tired of it though. Recently I’ve been doing a few things differently however, and it seems to have helped. I got super picky, and try to pay attention (i.e. I don’t swipe on profiles with only IG/Snap/OF/(w/e), or nothing at all . I also do try to use my one superlike, but on a chica with an interesting profile that I actually vibe with (admittedly usually a cute scene gal).
I actually found out once I started being pickier on that app, two things happened. 1) My average of likes didn’t really change too much(don’t worry it was still small, I’m not in the shape to be doing shirtless selfies, nor am I ‘Chiseled Chin Chad’), and by me being a little more selective, a lot of that switched the ball over to my court, and I found that by being more selective I didn’t grow as tired of the process.
Also it might be worth investing in other apps. (Idk how much that discussion is allowed here please don’t kill me admins, lemme know and I’ll edit the post).
Either way, INC, and keep the Faith my dude.
