AM search makes one too prectical and exhausted

Seeking Advice

Hi all,

I 28 M feel AM search makes one too practical, stoic and exhausted. People are more rigid than they usually are irl. When i started my search via AM apps i thought it would be easy for me to find a match there since i am told to be pretty conventionally attractive, tall and i earn pretty high as well. But after talking and meeting few am matches i realised the process felt too robotic, People lacked emotional quotient or were very downright boring in conversation.

I didn't keep any unrealistic expectations, im pretty independent in general too as well are pretty open minded wrt everything mostly. Just wanted someone whom i connect well emotionally and there is a mutual attraction present. But either of these points were missing.

I ended up taking a long break from all the matrimony apps, even used hinge too instead, did have a better experience there wrt meeting People and communication as a whole. But my parents have asked me to start using matrimony again in couple of months, i dont really want to go through the exhaustion again and not directly mention about being on a dating app since hard for me to explain parents about it, i feel alot of people from our generation face this too.

Do you guys have any pointers on how to not feel exhausted with AM process and its frustrations. Or how do you keep an open mind wrt bland fornal communications with people there.
