writes:As the title of my post asks - how many Likes does the average male homo sapien get from women on dating apps?A few months ago my sister helped me create an online dating profile. She helped take my profile photos, reviewed my profile and then gave me the thumbs up.After 4 months of using it, I only have a total of 12 Likes. I had a "told you so" conversation with me sister yesterday - I never believed in these apps. She, on the other hand, was baffled because she gets an average of 20 likes per day. That's right, per D.A.Y.I think it is because I am not a very good looking dude. But neither is she. I mean she is overweight... she isn't attractive but she isn't ugly either. (Hey Sis... in case you are reading this I don't mean you any disrespect. You are the bestest sister anyone could ever have. Love ya always...)For those of you who have been on dating apps, how many Likes do you get?

 Are you really in your late 30s? I ask because I would have expected someone of that age to be a bit more mature than belly-aching about how many "likes" he gets on a dating site. Someone can get one like and find a worthwhile partner, while others can get hundreds of likes and have not a single serious approach.
Have you always seen your sister as a rival and been in competition with her?

 "LIKES"...Really?? You are basing your life on the number of you likes you get? If you had zero likes, then what? You lock yourself away from world?
It does matter how many women like you. Better to have one woman who truly loves you, than a thousand women who only like you.
A person's weight or physical features is not the reason people get dates or married. It is the value of their mind and heart. You can be the world's most handsome, muscular man in the world, and still be the biggest Jack wagon any woman has ever met, and be as lonely as hell...Or you can be the average looking guy, overweight, but have a confident mind, and a good heart. Which do you think women would choose for long term? One maybe good to look at, but the other had the real value.
Your sister gets 20 likes per day, but how many of those likes are turning into a long term relationships?
If your self worth is based on the number of likes you get, then you are truly lost.

When I joined (I'm average looking nothing special) I got 30 messages/likes within minutes. When I checked back the next day it was over 150. Not one of those messages was genuine as they hadn't read my profile (I said they have to be local and I won't do casual sex) but they still sent sex messages and were all over the country. Men i met online had very little luck on the sites- my boyfriend was on there for years!

Guys don't get very many, that's not how it works... Unless your pretty good-looking I guess. I don't get a ton of interest from women, maybe one a day or less, but when I reach out to them I get acceptable results. My problem is that apps feel awkward to me so I never truly shine on them compared to in person.
If you're not sending a decent amount of messages to women you're genuinely interested in you're wasting your time.
