I'm a weirdo who's on disability and have had great experiences with dating apps. I found half of my peer group there and some short-term relationships. I'm a bi woman, so your mileage may vary obviously, but in my experience the queer dating scene is a bit easier in that regard, even though I can't comment on male dating.
I was very lonely and isolated for a long time and pretty much thought I'm just gonna be alone. In general I try to be open about my baggage and other people with perhaps similar backgrounds appreciate that. Once I found them life got really pleasant.
I've used pretty much all the apps with varying success. I had a better experience with the not so famous apps like Boo, Hiki (for neurodivergent people) or HER (lesbian app). I think I am an outlier here though, because most people I know get jaded from online dating really quickly, I've been doing it on and off for 5 years now. Sometimes I don't really get many matches, half a year later it's better. So if online dating isn't for you that's fair, but if it is, maybe you can find an app with like-minded people as well.
Hey thanks for the response. I'll try thoese other apps, just haven't been having luck on the main ones. And fix to know there's fellow weirdos out there!
