I had no contact with women for over 3 and a half years. I cant socialize now since all is closed here. I'm on the laptop all day, having no clue what to do. Also, women contact may help me to recover. Let's say i put on the bio of the dating profile that I am on nofap, just to be honest and remind me of what I am doing. And that i say that i like every female person i come across with. This is not for the sake to get a girlfriend, but just to socialize with the opposite gender for one, instead of my homies. I think it's also going to help to recover me since my longest streak of 18 days was with a female ap i chatted with 7 days per week. What do you guys think about this?
Actually dating app is not a bad choice. It is helpful cause it shows you women who are open to new people in their life. So the only thing you need is to make the first step.
I have never used a dating app but many of the comments I hear are not favorable. Most people I have interacted with describe them as shallow and materialistic. So I would say do some research to find an app that attracts people who are genuinely interested in getting to know people as opposed to just showing off and setting up misleading profiles to impress others. Maybe someone on the forum could point in the right direction. You noted everything is closed up where you are, I would look into virtual clubs or groups also. This may be a better opportunity to socialize in general. Both men and women.
Honestly man I would say find an app or community that’s centered around an activity. Dating websites are really awful IMO
Yes I completely agree with you, I speak from experience. They are really horrible. There are quite a few fake profiles. Too many men are present and it is a struggle to be able to approach a girl. Only few girls use these apps and they get too much demand. You have to know how to stand out. If you have a beautiful face or a good figue or you are a Yes life, you have your chances. The first thing the girl will look are the pics. They have to be perfect...
...yoga classes, kickboxing lessons, meet-ups, climbing gyms, art shows, stuff like that. Using technology to meet girls is a terrible idea as it already starts your relationship off in the wrong foot as opposed to meeting people in the wild doing activities that you both already like
20 going on 21. I know the pandemic limits physical communication, but this is my how i met and prefer to interact with others. I never used dating apps or websites. Hence, i will not provide a onesided review. But there are websites that host greet and meets now.
Dating sites and apps always have an extremely high male to female ratio, they have also all switched to the Tinder swipe model. So unless you are a male model / body builder you're probably not going to do too well.
From personal experience, dating apps can make you feel more lonely as the guy above said you have to basically be a male model/body builder to get any attention, however if you do decide to give it a try saying you are on nofap on your profile is more likely to repel women rather than attract them, your only 21 when the time is right and the world isn’t in and out of lockdowns I’m sure the right woman will come along without forcing it, best of luck to you my friend
I personally dont like the idea of dating apps either I ever recommended to anyone to make friends or have it's first dates. I can tell you from experience, I have use a few before pandemic and is all casual dating or like everyone calls it hookup culture. Personally is harder to make a connection with a person who only view you or get interest in you from seeing a few pictures, instead getting interested in the type person you are or your case a person who seek help from a porn addiction. Indeed since your always in your computer I suggest video chatting with strangers and a common website I used before and is good to use is omegle. Not only you get to talk to females from different part of the world but you get to use your voice so you be able build confidence and building social skills in case you get experience any of that this coming summer. GOOD LUCK!
wel tryed omegle, but a lot of guys showing of thier P and just looking for pussy. Otherwise i see dick even in normal sections... Also i am not the best looking guy so i often get skipped and i have to wait like 10 minuites before some one finaly stops. This kills my confidence in myselfes so no thank to omegle, ill stay away.
I can suggest you to use Tandem. It's a great app where you can learn languages with other people. Still it's not a dating app but you can have easily the opportuniy to talk a girl and further more. Like we say in french "une pierre deux coup". You can learn another language and talk to a girl.
Its ok if dont get addicted to it and font think much about it, in my case it excalated to sexting and sending pics to the woman....
If you add in your bio that you are interested in online contact and not in dating, it will attract women who are also interested in online contact - and I suppose there are a lot of women who would rather talk online and not data as this makes them feel a lot more safier. Adding nofap tag will be honest, and I think it will help you with your fight. Even if you do not get a large response, you will be a winner because you had the courage to show the world what you have been hiding. Seeing the statistics of how many people are into PMO, lots of ppl reading your bio will find you a valuable and brave person.
