  • The State of The Dating Apps

    Feeld is buggy. KinkD is not very active. Oh, and I’m back on OkCupid. Feeld is buggy as sin. The November 2023 update has been a shitshow and continues to be a shitshow.

Someone who is sexually immature cannot blame their partner when the sex is okay but not amazing. This is a realization I had today. Who was sexually immature? Me.
