There's a lot of evidence that we are less satisfied with the choices we make the more options we have. When you can compare your current partner to 1000 other options every day you're very likely to have some buyers remorse.
- cgriswald 6y agoI certainly can compare my partner to 1000 other options and I don’t need an app to do so. The takeaway isn’t “options are bad while you are on the market.” The take away is “Stop measuring your partner against others while you’re not on the market.” And, of course, you don’t actually know those others so you’re comparing your partner against some combination of others and your own imagination. No partner can compare to your imagination. If you’re doing this you might as well bail out of the relationship because you’re not ready. No amount of banning apps is going to protect someone’s relationship from themselves. A committed relationship takes... commitment; in both thought and deed.
- ponker 6y agoSure, there are a lot of things that anyone can do. The fact is that the harder you make things, the fewer people will do them, the easier you make things, the more people will do them. You can avoid processed junk food and stay healthy but the availability of cheap junk food is what causes rampant obesity and its societal costs.
