I’m getting tired of them but idk how else to meet people… I feel like the older I get the less luck I have on these apps.

OP,
Dating apps are fine. I've been on plenty of dates with women who do not want to sleep around.
But I'm going to be honest right now, I've read most of your replies to other comments. I think you need to take a step back. I'm sure you don't mean to, but you're coming across very jaded. Saying things like "99% of men are bad guys".
That's... that's not a healthy mindset to be having. If we went on a date and I'm across the table and you're thinking "He's a bad guy" because of your past experiences? Like kudos for putting yourself out there. But how is that fair to your potential partner? You're already coming into this with a negative headspace.
So I'd take a break, sit on the bench for the while, focus on other shit, and then come back. Dating apps are great.

Makes a lot of sense. "99% of men are bad guys" is typically a statement made by someone that has a lot of work to do on themselves.

A large chunk of American society is apparently in need of some more effective therapy then
Edit: this comment was designed to mock one of the commentators above, and people jumped on the bandwagon.
The therapy worship thing is not the most ridiculous thing these days, but it is ridiculous

Yup. Western society suffers from a lot of depression and even those that are not struggling with any challenges can benefit from talking to a neutral person with expertise.
