Hi yes i tried Tinder but full of fakes, Bumble seems mainly to be girls who want to gain new Insta followers. So no luck at all.

I honestly don't think such a thing exists. Even if it did, it would very quickly be overwhelmed by guys like yourself... so the girls would still be spoilt for choice, so you'd probably face the same or similar obstacles you face now.

Online dating is very superficial; far far more-so than meeting people IRL. Therefore, if you want to see results, then I think you'd be better off taking the time to make your Bumble profile really s*** hot, so it makes you stand out from everyone else to the right person. By this I mean decent professional style photos that make you look interesting, a concise bio that sells your best points (think about the type of woman you like, and the things that are likely to attract her), without you re-writing "War and Peace". if you really want results, then you should consider spending some money on your profile... whether that's paying for a professional photographer or paying for premium services on the website (check what they are first). Either way, think of it as an investment in yourself.

Failing that, consider meeting people IRL. Many of the superficial things that are so important on online profiles (e.g. height, money etc.) won't matter (at least not to the same extent), as when she looks at you she'll be seeing the bigger package... it's a bit like that old cliché "you never know what it is you really want... until you see it in front of you"

When women are given the 'power' to make the 'first move' on dating apps, they overwhelmingly converge on the same narrow % of men. Then they set up things like the 'Tea app' to try and scapegoat those men for dating multiple women.

And though I agree, I don't particularly like those kinds of men myself either, especially because they often hide and lie about these things to the women they're dating... these women also show very little ownership and accountability for their choices, and keep repeating the same pattern and making the same choices over and over on those apps, thinking that the 100th time it'll be different. Or worse still, they settle into the 'doomscrolling' mindset and just swipe swipe swipe without even thinking at all anymore.

There is a way to 'do better' on dating apps, but it has nothing to do with either men or women making the first move because that already exists and hasn't had any effect.
