The problem with online dating is that the whole system is rotten.
The app/site is rotten because they want money, so they are incentivized to make their members as sexually frustrated as possible so that they hand over more dosh.
Because of the first problem, the members are all incentivized to lie. The men lie because they are frustrated that the system isn’t working for them. The women lie by posting unrepresentative photos because they feel the need to compete with everyone else who is doing the same, and the platform is happy with this because they want the most “attractive” members.
When all three groups are dishonest, nothing good can come out of it.
- mettamage 2y agoYou're forgetting that in this day and age there are still people who've never done online dating because they're coming out of a long-term relationship. These people are still honest in their first few weeks. When they find the right person, they'll get off the app as soon as possible. That's my experience anyway, I got married to one of them. I've been on the apps for a few months prior to that in my whole life due to a long-term relationship before that. It can work. But you gotta be willing to be strategic about it. It helped that I loved strategizing about this.
