Stay away from dating apps

I'm pretty much over this now, but just a word of warning if you're rebooting. I would stay away from dating apps. When I first rebooted, I was about 70 days in and started using tinder. At first it was no big deal, but after about a month of that it started to become less about talking to and meeting girls. It became an addiction.

The urge to sext was much larger than the urge to date. I never sent anything unsolicited, but it got to the point where I was actively seeking out girls to send dick pics to. Particularly ones that lived far away so that it would not get back to me. Absolutely disgusting, and I am still ashamed. The one girl who I did send pictures to I would block and unblock because I had no self control. I apologized to her, and she said it was no big deal and that "99 percent of guys do that."

But don't be one of those guys. Meet girls in real life and learn to be a gentleman. Keep sexuality off your phone. An addicted brain will find a way to get its fix.

I am not saying that anyone has the same fate as me, I just wanted to communicate my experience because I could have never seen this coming. Now, I can never use dating apps or snapchat because of the sexting addiction, just as a precaution. This was the most tramautic thing in my life (that sounds like I've had an easy life but seriously). Last thing you want to be is an Anthony Wiener or a 905Shooter. Good luck guys!

 

Nah all good I'll explain. Would never even have considered it when I first started. On these apps you see so many girls and send so many messages then move to snapchat or something. Sexted one time and was already addicted.

Yeah what would happen is I would download then binge for like a whole night. Trying to make conversation sexually suggestive, sending shirtless picture or whatever. But then for me at least I would end up bailing out pretty much every time. I would come to my senses last minute, and would have to block all these girls.

Just is like a hard thing to fathom because dating apps are so normal nowadays. And I can't even use them because my sexual addiction takes over. I think the cause of it is how gamified it is. Tinder becomes a slot machine, and talking to these girls who are outside of your social circle makes you more comfortable being a little more risky, which can develop into addiction. Thanks for asking man.

 

And to add on a little bit I would never want to do this with a girl I'm actually interested in because it's weird. But the sexting on dating apps is like porn because of the anonymity (girls far away) and the thrill of it. You get a lot of chemicals going in your brain when it's a real person. Yeah I've heard that guys do it all the time too. But I've never had one friend admit to it. I just know that it's an act I never want to be a part of again. Even if a girlfriend asked me to send a dick pic I would never do it, that shit's just weird.
