Woman Who Took Over Man’s Dating App To See What It Was Like Says She’s Now ‘More Depressed Than Ever’
A woman was left shocked after trying out the dating app Hinge while pretending to be her friend, a man.
Dating can often feel like a challenging endeavor for many, but this woman experienced a major eye-opener when she stepped into her male friend’s shoes and discovered just how different his reality was.
Although not everyone is a fan of dating apps, a TikTok user known as ok.jo.anna shared her dismal experience with them after taking control of her friend Pete’s Hinge account.
The experiment not only changed her perspective but also left her feeling profoundly discouraged.
Initially, she had claimed to Pete that dating apps made meeting people simple.
Pete, however, strongly disagreed, insisting that it was far from easy for him. This prompted her to take matters into her own hands to prove her point.
Using Pete’s permission, the TikToker created and ran a Hinge account in his name. But after just three days of posing as Pete, she admitted that the experience had drastically shifted her views.
She explained in a TikTok video: “One of my guy friends gave me permission to make a Hinge account for him because I was telling him how easy dating is with dating apps. He was telling me that it is incredibly difficult.
“I was like, ‘Pete, you must be doing something wrong.’ So, he gave me permission to create an account for him and just run the account.”
The results were not what she expected.
“After three days of being a virtual boy, I’ve never felt this bad about myself,” she confessed. “I feel like a freaking loser, trying to get these girls to like me, and I’m starting to hate women.”
She elaborated further on the challenges, saying: “Pete is about a six, but I’m so desperate I’m liking the 2s and the 3s, and even they won’t like me [Pete] back. So, what level of delusion has entered women’s heads?
“What is going on? It is so difficult dating as a boy, I hate it. I am on day 3 of being a boy, and I’m more depressed than ever.”
Her candid revelations sparked a wave of responses online, with many men commiserating and thanking her for gaining insight into their struggles.
One commenter wrote: “If you’re losing it after 3 days, imagine 30 years.”
Another joked: “Well, we’ve finally got one person to empathize with us boys. This small gesture of compassion might just see me through another couple of years.”
