Tl/DR The apps don't make money when you get a GF, they make money keeping you single. I think you guys are struggling because your community has been broken. Let's build up you presence in the community by volunteering, if that does not get you a GF there are OTHER benefits that will still help you out in the long run and make you happy.
Are you paying for hinge? I am not sure how those apps work, but let me give you a scenario: if the apps got everyone a date right away, no one would use them anymore. They have a financial incentive to keep YOU single.
I would not be surprised if a few years from now they have a massive leak or there is a lawsuit and the discovery phase reveals that there were special hidden plans where only hyper rich people got the connections so they could screw around.
Now, the boomers would be like "go to a bar dur dur boomer boomer" NO! first off they divorce more than any other generation, so they just SUCK at relationships. 2nd off bars are full of alcoholics(probably why the boomers divorce so much).
YOUR problems will require YOUR solutions. I know that's intimidating to find solution on your own, and i know covid nuked he social dynamic. That's the situation you are in. You go to war with the army you have. I suspect that part of why so many of you yougins are going back to church IS because of the social dynamic.
NOW you may not expect to hear this from me, but finding a GF in church is DANGEROUS. Let me explain: you will make friends in Church, you will learn of God in church. Many older people will have prodigal daughters who are single mothers and they will think "oh this anon has his raisin together lets hook him up".
HOLD YOUR GROUND! Yes you may find a God fearing forever wife at church, but there are dangers there too! Go to church, network make friends. View it as an indirect way to grow relationships. Don't run in there with your heart on a sleeve unless it's for Jesus.
Now some of you want to avoid church, i understand this as well. Then i also recommend volunteer groups.
https://www.habitat.org/volunteer/near-youHere is a neat one. If you think my ole mesh patch was a cool life hack Whoa boy not only will those guys teach you BETTER tricks for free, but they will also help you network too. "But flanders those guys do useful stuff and foids are inherently useless!" Correct but it expands your network AND your social standing. How would you rather be introduced: "that soyjack" OR "That soyjack who repairs homes for senior citizens?" They are also redpilled. They know damn well that the democrats tell the niggers not to touch their homes. So they will teach you new methods on how to hide your power level, but that is a redpill for a different thread.
I know i have said a lot. I also know that some options won't be readily available to you. But we both know your problem does not have an easy solution, and it should not. Finding your forever GF/wife should be a challenge. That way you both appreciate the love you build.
Hang in there.
