Tinder is shit

Anyone else!? I am on tinder and in all honesty it is a pile of crap and makes me feel awful about myself, I have so many matches yet I've spoken to less than half because people don't even message to say hi these days apparently, the others that I've spoken to I've either spoken to for like five minutes and got nothing from it or the ones who I've got numbers from and spoken to for longer have gone absolutely no where. It's like people have no respect for others feelings when online dating, I'll speak to a guy for a good few weeks it will be going well and then he will fall of the edge of the planet or I'll be in the middle of a conversation with someone and they just never reply. Worst are when you set up a date and then it never actually happens because they cancel last minute.
I don't know if I'm picking the wrong man or what but I'm at the end of my tether, I don't want dick pics or to just swipe forever but that's all I am getting from this! I've deleted it about 50 times and reinstalled when I'm feeling lonely or I have recovered from my last bad experience. I don't get out much so I'm heavily relying on online dating and I just feel like it's a never ending circle of disappointment.

I hear you, OP.
Just about to delete Tinder because it’s a pile of shit. I don’t know if it’s the area I live in but the calibre of men is diabolical. Had a quick look this morning and so far have come across:
A cross dresser
A couple looking for someone to have a threesome with - their profile pic was them holding a new born baby ffs
Numerous gym rats posing topless in their bathroom mirrors
My abusive ex who I have a restraining order against
So many terrible profiles with blurry pictures/aggressive bios (including one that said ‘If you can’t handle me being a dad you can swipe left and fuck off.’ Alright, mate. Calm down.)
I’ve tried bumble and Hinge but it seems to be the same people on all the apps.
I’m 37 and sadly coming to the realisation that I may have missed the boat for meeting someone and having DC.
