>The article's complains "men signal emotional seriousness that they don’t actually feel" I agree that dating apps and other modern technologies have changed the dating scene for the worse. However, this (feigning love when a man really just wants access to sex) has been a male dating strategy since time in memoriam. (and I'd certainly be open to the idea that this particular dating strategy is under a lot more pressure given the current dating environment. ie, that men are much more tempted to use this strategy than they would be otherwise.) I guess this really isn't a strong disagreement with your point. (or really much of a disagreement at all.) But, I think it's important to point out that this is not some aberrant pattern which never previously existed, rather it may be a rational pattern in certain contexts, and all we've done is change the context in which people are operating.
