I'm a 20 year old guy and I really am getting tired of the dating apps. Although I realized that I actually am an interesting and attractive person through them, I feel like I'm wasting my energy. I've been on quite a few dates through Tinder, Hinge, Bumble etc. and very few have worked out. I met my current FWB on Bumble and thats about it. All the other dates I feel I've either settled for less or just been flat out catfished. I've recently found that the fact you can pick the photos you look best in, and advertise yourself COMPLETELY eliminates any attraction you may have had for that person when it comes to the first date. Its not even the physical attraction but the in person vibe you get when you meet them is almost always off.

I'm just tired of feeling shitty about wasting mine and other's time and would absolutely love to learn how to be successful in real life, not just in dating apps. I feel I can meet a person who is 10x better in real life than on an app, I just dont really have the confidence or knowledge to do it and I would love some help.
