A Vent About Online Dating

This could end up potentially offensive? Maybe I don't really know, but this is the only warning I will give. This is just me venting.

Okay, so, now that holidays are for the most part over, and I have really settled into my sexuality as a lesbian...gurl what ARE THESE APPS.

I told myself that I need to give it time for matches ect, and I am plus-size. I know that I am overweight (not to state I am ugly. I know I am not.) So I already know it's going to be harder for me to match with my type.

Which isn't really crazy specific. I like the lesbians that wear boy clothes, tomboys, mascs, fems etc. Like I just like women. I'm only three days into all the apps. I have HER, Bumble, and even HINGE.

On a technical side, especially using free versions of these apps, HER has been the f-ing worst. It's where I am getting the most matches but I can only see 5 a day. It has the least amount of swipes and forces you to pay for it to actually function (and I am not that desperate to pay for it. Again...maybe offensive but I just. No. I am not gonna pay for a dating app)

Bumble and Hinge are similar in the technicalities on how USELESS they are on the free versions. But I am not getting a lot of attention on those two so I don't care.

It's rough out here. And the matches I have gotten so far. Maybe it's me on this one, I can admit I am not a great conversation starter...but I am getting left on read. This suck booty. Again. I am fat, I live in the midwest of the USA so it's not like there are a lot of lesbians in my area to begin with.

Anyways. That's it. Feel free to comment if you wanna. I just wanted to rant about dating apps.
