I called it the statistical approach. I messaged any woman I found visually attractive or that seemed interesting and fun through their description. Didn't limit myself to one app and in messages always made it clear I was looking for a relationship in real life and wasn't looking to chat for long. I probably messaged around 20 to 40 people a day. Got a positive message back around every 2 days or so. So one in 2 days roughly. Sometimes less, sometimes more. I had a several dates during the course of half a year or so ranging from fun to boring to catastrophic. Some casual hookups happened but it was rare. Sometimes dating lasted for a few weeks but didn't work out. Then eventually I met my now wife and mother of my kids.
Online dating is still bs but I found this approach to work for me.
