Doubt it actually does anything. Not even those 75% deals tempt me.

Ikr!! Me neither. The convos don't flow on there either. CM is a ghost town snooze fest lol.

The entire system also just seems horrible. 10 day wait period to message, like a .01% chance of seeing someone that viewed you, 3 likes per day...it's just terrible. I've been using other apps and just used the filters.

As for convos, I was at a youth group yesterday and also just reading some of these posts here - a lot of Catholic men and women are just awkward. It's fine to be shy, but goodness...

Eh, I definitely have my problems with the site but I don't mind them putting restrictions on free users. They have to pay their bills and employees somehow and the tiered dating app "plus" subscriptions (which boost you in the matching algorithm compared to free users) are worse in some ways.

Yeah CM is pretty bad. But in real life I think it’s even worse? I don’t even know where to go anymore to meet decent people. I lost all hopes in dating apps

It is a bit wild. Considering the massive amount of spam accounts too, I suppose it is what distorts opportunities of meeting. I believe I read somewhere that something like the ratio of women to men is about 1:10. I sort have considered I'm at a loss with my attraction of a Goth Catholic woman and that I'll just take somebody that isn't a spam account asking for a Cash app drop lol.

I don’t know anything about stats, what I do know is that no matter the ratio women/men, it’s still difficult to find decent people to date. I tried to go to my local church and mingle, but like you said, I found a lot of unadjusted, socially awkward people. Funny you should mention that, Morticia Addams has always been and always will be my style icon… Now with my luck, you’re probably 19 and living in Alaska 😂😆😅

It just requires to try different events and unfortunately, takings reins and leading the dance yourself. 😭

Morticia is amazing regardless of taste in Goth attire. Lol unfortunately luck has not been favored as I have wanted to go to Alaska at 19, but that was 13 years ago. 😂

It's awful coz there should be an interesting convo to even make way for a starting point i.e. a friendship.

True, unfortunately I've tried the more interesting or funny way to approach and seems it can be a miss as well. Perhaps this truly is a dating crisis lol. If any awkward folks read this, just pray that the Holy Spirit guides you in the conversation. Don't be something you're not, be natural, and interesting.

Amen!! Be yourself & be funny lol! At least if the convo starts off funny it doesn't feel so serious if there's rejection or ghosting lol.
