Most dating apps are crap, especially for the disabled. My luck on any of them has always been non-existant
Agreed. On the rare occasion that I do get a match, the match almost always disappears within an hour or so. I assume they swiped right on my first picture and then after the match saw my wheelchair and removed the match. I have no way of proving that, but it is always in the back of my head.
This happens to me all the time. I actually just signed up for Bumble again yesterday because I am a glutton for punishment, I guess. That and I am lonely.

You all are such handsome guys, I really cross my fingers for you to run into a woman who‘s worth a good chat, date and more!!! All the best to you! By the way. one of my best dreams would actually be to see a guy’s picture in a dating app (face only), like it, swipe right, get to know him via chat and at some point finding out he’s a wheeler. 🤩🤩🤩 Jackpot. …And then they lived happily ever after….😂

This happens to me all the time. I actually just signed up for Bumble again yesterday because I am a glutton for punishment, I guess. That and I am lonely. Also keep in mind that these apps are really frustrating for most people. Their design goal isn't your dating success! If you find the perfect partner and live happily ever after they lose 2 customers (or ad-viewers at least) for good. The experience is very different for men and women, but quite bad for most members of both groups. Most men have to swipe right 50%+ to get any matches and women have to be selective to avoid being flooded with messages, many of which are unpleasant. The average guy gets very few dates and spends lots of time scrolling, paying viewing ads. Women try to be selective but often select the same few guys who look handsome, successful, popular or whatever the secret combo is. And those few guys get all the matches. Some really are looking for a partner and then disappear off the app, but many realise their luck and just keep dating and sleeping with an endless inbox of women. Therefore a typical female experience is to match a 'great guy', go on a few dates, sleep with him, but when things get a bit more serious talking about commitment and exclusivity he disappears and he picks up another woman or two from his inbox. And she gets back on the app, assuming he was just a jerk and next time will better. But the next guy is the same type for the same reason. Eventually she might conclude that all guys are selfish jerks, but actually it's the dynamics of the app that's connected her with and long string of especially selected sociopath jerks. My advice to my female friends would be try to match in the top 70-90% popular guys, not the 90%-100% that everybody else will match. My advice to guys is to try to find alternatives to the dating apps like real life stand out in a different and positive way with text and pictures.

I’m not a big fan of dating apps, I prefer meeting people organically, online or in person
