Using dating apps to hookup (not for a relationship)

    I created a Tinder account like 2-3 years ago, but never had the balls to upload photos and actually use it. I'm not good with women and I've always sort of been intimidated by attractive women, so this played a big part in me never using it. I don't want to embarrass myself lol. I've only ever had 2 girlfriends and both have been 2+ years and both initiated them. I've never 'dated around' either. Anyway, right now I'm not interested in having a relationship and I was curious on y'all's experiences on 'hooking up'.

    So, what's your experience been like with hooking up with women through dating apps? Like how do you even bring up the topic of having a one-night-stand? Does it not feel uncomfortable or even disrespectful?

    I think if your intention is a one night stand your probably better not mentioning that on the dating site. I would say this would likely cause the majority of women on a dating site to stop messaging you if you mentioned a one night stand, sex etc. Not always, but I think this would likely cause most women to stop messaging someone on a dating site if they messaged that stuff.

    I would say guys who are on a dating site for a one night stand would have better luck just chatting to women on the dating site, and possibly meeting up with a woman from the dating site if they can, but don't send messages about a one night stand or sex, and then just see what happens when you meet the woman.

    I honestly think guys who want a one night stand through a dating site would have better success doing that, than messaging women on a dating site about a one night stand, sex etc.

    months ago back in january and february i thought i'd give dating apps like bumble POF tinder a try to see whats out there and im sad to say i had to give up on using them since girls would always block me which was a total blow to my self esteem :( hey man im not good with women either i feel like women have way too high standards for guys yet its ironic because girls always say that about us ! you just cant win i guess lol
    i started going to the gym in the summer to meet girls. i know how hard it can be to meet girls during covid but you should try to put yourself out there. go to venues, go to the gym, look for side gigs maybe at a bar if you can to meet girls ?
    best way to put yourself out there just gotta be yourself and not act fake around girls :) im always nervous around girls

    good advice skaterdrew ! but isnt that what tinder is for lol ? i think tinder is mostly for hookups so maybe its his best bet to use tinder if he wants something casual and nothing serious like commitment or a relationship ?
    what you said above is what happened to me, i made the big mistake of bringing up hookups to girls and they would always block me.

    Fair enough! Thank for your input. A lot of guys that I've talked to that have used those apps seem to just be there for sex, and it seems to work for them. I just could never imagine how they did it. I think what you said is probably right for most cases.

    I go to the gym, but its after I get off work early in the morning, so its practically dead. There is this one chick who's pretty hot, but I've only seen her there twice out of the 2-3 months I've been going. She looks unapproachable to me though. I'm not really a social butterfly, so just approaching a girl is difficult for me. Hell, even approaching a dude sometimes is. Like I don't want to bother anyone, because they probably just want to get their workout in and leave like me lol.

    One night stands is basically masturbation with another person. It's kind of sad.

    That being said, you need to have an eye for it. With experience you'll know what girls are up to it.

    But you never say one night stands, when the sex subject comes into the conversation her reaction will tell you if she is up for it.

    Interesting, but confusing. Wouldn't you then consider all sex masturbation with another person? Maybe you could clarify or elaborate?

    No, because sex with a couple it involves feelings, perhaps friendship, knowing the person, love.

    In a hook up m, one night stand you are just trying to get each other off. Trying to calm your lust, simply a physical thing, it doesn't involve emotions. And it's a one night thing there is not room for all this other things to grow.

    Because you are being used and you are using the other person, you are just a piece of meat.

    Maybe when you are just starting to do it it can be fun. But after a while you start to feel empty. It's like living 3d porn fantasy being with any girls.

    Delete tinder and don't hook up would be my advice, it's immoral, carries alot of problems and ends up making you feel empty in the end.

    I'm not intimidated by all women lol - just those I find to be really attractive. And its not like I couldn't talk to them, but I know my face blushes and its kinda embarrassing I guess. And I never had an idea that this lifestyle was for me, especially a bunch of one-night-stands. I just wanted to know other people's experience with the whole online hookup thing and what they thought about it.

    Also, there is nothing wrong with having a girlfriend, but in my current stage in life, I don't want one. I don't need one. I'm not ready to commit myself to a relationship. But if an opportunity arose for me to have sex with a beautiful woman, why would I turn it down?
