I'm not on many gay dating apps consistently but over the past few years I've jumped on a few just to do my nosy, apps and sites like Grindr, Only Lads, Scruff and Romeo, and all of them have the exact same problem:

No one can seem to communicate properly.

I don't know if it's just a me problem but most people I seem to encounter either turn out to be pretty nasty and end up leaving you hanging, or send strange broken messages that end up pushing the conversation into an endless cycle of pure confusion.

It's part of the reason why I end up just disabling all of my profiles and removing myself from the online gay dating scene because I can't seem to find anyone legit, most people either want nudes straight away or end up replying with "ok" to everything you say.

Sorry, this is more of a rant than an actual question but I just needed to vent my frustrations. Funnily enough, I've had better luck here on Reddit as people here actually talk to you like a human being.

I know I should just be patient but it's always the same. How do you do it and are there any sites or apps that are actually better than the most generic ones?
