Might have to get fat to settle down

Not even joking, girls just want my body, they don't care about my personality. Or maybe I just have a shit personality. Is getting fat worth it? Or is it just that dating apps are for hookups, have you met a long term gf on a dating app? Thanks

Your dating app pics and prompts probably give off the wrong vibe. Are they from college / nights out / showing off your body? Get some "wholesome" pics (not obnoxious, just photos from traveling or where you and your friends don't look wasted) and approach the prompts with a relationship in mind

That said even if you're hot you're going to have a harder time finding a quality long-term girlfriend than a hookup online

Paradoxically I don't get enough matches if I don't put a shirtless pic as first pic lol, my face doesn't carry me that hard. Girls just filter that shit out too fast. As for approaching them with a relationship in mind, doesn't seem to work. Girls lose interest FAST and I just come across like a bitch. Maybe online dating is indeed fruitless for looking for a ltr

Shirtless pic 10000% says hookup - girls looking for a serious guy are literally swiping right past you. Same with pics of you and your fratty-looking college bros, your profile is probably just set up to attract a very different type of girl right now. You need to find (or take) a better picture. Also fill out your profile fully

Go somewhere pretty with some of your female friends in a nice outfit (white button down should do it) and have them take a real photo of you. Also, ask your female friends who are a little more serious/not in the hookup phase to take a look at your profile. Sometimes even the way you phrase the prompts can do you in.

Online dating isn't great but it is still a numbers game looking for relationships

You know that you can just cover up your body without getting fat, right? Maybe a baggy t shirt or loose button up (like a hawaiian)? If you want to filter women by personality, try asking more in-depth questions rather than surface level small talk. Try showing more personality in your nights out/apps, and it'll definitely help you out a bit more

 

Is it that obvious? Damn.
