I am officially wife hunting now because I am not staying alone any longer. My plan is to start using dating apps so I just put my photo up and starting liking some profiles. It's sad I have got to this point but what is some advice on finding someone online. Is it truly achievable?

I'll join your club / cult / religion / pyramid scheme. Sign me up.
I have been single for years. YEARS.

Have you done anything during those years? I am young and have never bothered caring but I feel like if I don't take action now I will regret it later. I'm not starting any cult online dating might be very good I have no idea yet

Be careful what you wish for...
Aside from the Joke, it can work, there is no problem, just be direct in what you offer, what you want, talk and go to dates, and see how it goes.

I went on a dating app once and had a complete nightmare. I got talking to someone who seemed quite nice and polite, then out of nowhere she sent me a picture of her boobs with chocolate on them. Most men would have jumped at this and gone for it, but the conversation went like this:
"Would you lick and suck this off if you were here?"
"What chocolate is it?"
"Galaxy. Salted caramel."
"More of a Cadbury fan really."
She blocked me after that. Never again.

Keep confident and go out and meet some interesting women. Maybe they're 5s, maybe they're 7s. See if you enjoy the conversation and enjoy laughing with them. Do they respond when you flirt? If they're too shy or stuck up, bounce and don't think twice. Nobody is going to care. If they're cool, enjoy the vibe. Life is too short to be wondering about how other people feel.

You are 23 and don't have your career figured out yet. Why the hell are you wife hunting?
Spend the next few years investing in yourself. Most men shouldn't seriously consider marriage until after 30 anyways.
You don't seriously believe this do you? This is quite late

Don’t settle. Make Sure you find the right one, not the first one.
Better to be single then in a shitty marriage.

What are you talking about !? I couldn't imagine getting married in my early 20s. You're still figuring yourself at that age.

There is such a thing as getting married too early. Usually people rush into a marriage by riding the youth hormones and eventually find out they married the wrong person. Then instead of cutting their losses they attempt to make the relationship work due to how much they've already put it, with the duration being misery. Don't get me wrong as there are successful high school marriages that lasted, but they're often the exception instead of the norm.

Better off by the mulch, women, for some reason, want to mulch everything

That's what happened with my parents. My mom was 18 when she met my dad. He was 22. They've been married 38 years, and I'm pretty sure they've been miserable for the last 18. Yet they don't want to divorce because they're both old now and don't want to die alone.

Same, well without the kids part yet and engaged but been together for 9 years. Though we met on Tinder back in like 2014 or some shit, when Tinder was actually a literal online dating world. Now it's some fucked up gacha game.
My advice to anyone: actually communicate and listen to the person you are interested in. It's the only thing that makes a relationship work, because if you don't want to listen and work together then stay alone. Also drop all the incel "waaah is me I should have any girl" bullshit. It's a Ponzi scheme designed to prey on your insecurities.
Be confident, listen thoughtfully and learn to be both selfless and selfish when required. Relationships are a give and take, where you need to work together to accomplish happiness. Oh and you'll never find someone exactly like you, that's impossible and you don't want that. You want someone who has differences in styles, opinions and thoughts.

Oh we will, but with my fiance's father passing away last year it's just put everything into a holding pattern. We aren't thinking big, and wouldn't have even before his passing, just something special to us with a few select family. Joys of life though, always gets in the way plus our view on marriage isn't negative but it isn't a priority. Our relationship is, plus kids and sorting out next steps in careers.
But yes, we will very soon haha.

You're 23? Literal insanity. Do not get married yet. My sweet summer child, you will regret it.

No, it really isn't. "Late" is 40-50. 30 is just being a sane adult.
Not in the west it isnt.

Exactly, I'm 33 now and when i think how childish i was when i was 23...
But yeah i will never give up anime and video games, hahaha.
And some advice to OP, i never actively looked for girlfriend and stressed myself over not having any relationships. 3 years ago my current fiancee (and future wife) messaged to me on messenger and this is how it started.
Being desperate is never a good thing.

Why wouldn't you have communicated that before getting into the relationship? Unless, of course, you did and then your now ex became more interested in the idea? Luckily though there are plenty of people in this world that do not want kids and are happy to live life with their partner.

She was 26 years old and it took her literally 1.5 years to figure out no she do wants a child somewhere in the future while I had made it clear from day 1.

All I can say is prepare your patience man. The match rate of an average looking man is 1-2 in 100, and then most of those conversations won't be very responsive, many will flake out once it turns to meeting, and then the gamble on dates. Not to discourage you. Best of luck on it, but it's been a real slog for anything but the top 10% of men appearance wise for more than half a decade if you haven't been on in a minute.
Where are you located? In the west 23 is an early marriage. 30, especially for men, is right around prime time, you're not running out of good eggs. But this is a very cultural thing.
