Hey /adv/ guy in his mid 20's here.
I just recently moved across the country for school and was wondering what the best apps and/or sites you guys use to find dates, hookups, or hell even use to find new friends that are interested in the same shit? Is tinder still any good or is it infested with bots now? I guess going out to the bars is always an option but I'm a little socially anxious so usually operate better when I'm with friends, which I have none of here so far.
Anything you got I'll take, stories, suggestions, advice. Drop it off here.

Tinder is still decent. POF is good too but it really depends on your location and how far you're willing to travel. One app that has really gone downhill in recent years is OKCupid. While other apps have embraced a mobile and sleek interface, OKC is very clunky.
There is also Bumble which I have not used yet but perhaps others can chime in.
Also is that pic of Emma shopped or real?

Cool, thanks for the suggestions, I'll have to try those out. The city I'm in is mostly populated with uni students, or it will be come September, so I'm hoping that will keep these apps promising without having to travel too far out.
And I wish it was (it could be) real, but as far as I know its shopped.

Good, you'll be fine and you will have success if you keep at it. Take some relief knowing you're new to the city and you don't have to be embarrassed about it.
I didn't start online dating until after college. I've had several dates and they were ALWAYS hot chicks, and had sex with two.

Looking forward to it, thanks anon. I guess while we're on the subject do you got any favourite icebreakers or pick up lines?

Hey baby you know where to hide a body around here?
>>17465003
No I don't use those at all but it's never been my style. Read their profiles. Actually read them and strike up a conversation that way based on their interests.

That's a strange thing to... Inquire about

Actually show interest in their life? Fair enough, I can do that.
