What I find weird is how the Guardian always likes to blame / crusade against (target, basically) anything in society except it's readers.
"Dating Apps" are just another way to find and meet people.
If you have to continue to use the app you are either very bad at this -- or actually like something about the app, such as swiping profiles on a Tuesday after work to relax.
A third option is that people just don't want to choose -- the perfect profile might be around the next swipe.
The dating apps THEMSELVES are not responsible for anyone's lack of success in dating, though. That is up to each and everyone of us.
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoI think the better take is not to focus on the apps, but on the phenomenon of using apps for that. You don't get out. You don't socialize. You don't take risks. You don't exchange much. But it's easy, and it provides an alternative paths for timid people, and increase your range and reach.
- swagempire 3y agoRight, I see your point. But the idea is to go and take it offline at some point no? Meet IRL so to speak?
- BiteCode_dev 3y agoIt's certainly more efficient for the end goal of getting to a date, in a the way food delivery is an efficient way of addressing your hunger. I approve both. But I would not recommend eating food delivery every day.
