I’ll try and minimize personal info in this post so that it’s harder to dox me. I am a cishet white man without any romantic experience who is interested in trying online dating. I know that resources about doing this exist, but I don’t know how to find them without getting PUA or other harmful advice mixed in.

What do I need to know/do/have before I try this?

Which apps should I use?

Are there guides that give relatively simple information on how to avoid harmful situations with online and not online dating?

Thanks for the advice stalin-heart

    Took me about 1month to get my first date (and relationship via a dating app) I used 2 different apps on an almost daily basis for small amounts of time daily like 20-30mins.

    Be ready for this to take some time. Its unlikely you will find a relationship within one month of using a dating app like I did. Mention basic stuff if you have pets etc. be straightforward about stuff like that weeds out people that want/dont want stuff like that. Im not sure how important it is for you to date other radicals (but if it is) make that clear in your profile and/or straight up state your a communits/anarchist etc. My first date and I talked about palestine in our first exchange. I will say its probably easier to date (find) someone who is less radical then you just as a warning.

    Dont fall for scams.

    I know its obvious but if you got some decent photos use them.
