    Before online dating became ubiquitous, most people met their partners at work, school, or through a shared network of friends. But as apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge have become the default for finding romance, an enormous shift from real life courtship to virtual has occurred.
    How has this impacted the dating process? Online connections are often made independent of your normal circles, and lack supervision. This creates a lack of accountability that can encourage unethical behaviors such as harassment, objectification, ghosting, and worse from users.
    How can we create a more positive environment on apps and ensure we’re dating with the best of intentions? Author Christine Emba explains.

    As a guy I feel like dating apps are as useless as it gets. When I joined a year ago I paid everything and right at the beginning (when my elo was higher I guess) I managed to match with like 3 people altogether, and my record was around 10 messages (and even that was just me asking basic info because she didn't put anything in her profile). Apart from the first few weeks I was only liked by some fake profiles and I had 0 matches. No matter what you read on the internet this experience makes you feel the most undesirable person and can kill your confidence to an unhealthy level.

      I blame online dating for worsening my depression. I used Plenty of Fish for more than 10 years, also Facebook and Instagram. The early days were gold, had chat with many good women, met some of them in person. But starting in 2018 the thing only went downhill, you can no longer have genuine conversations, women are always suspicious thinking you are a scammer, and many users are there only to sell pics and vids.
      It is very hard to get yourself out of it, addiction to anything in life is terrible. I'm trying to not even use social media anymore, last time I contacted someone on Facebook, she wanted to file a police report for harassment, after I asked her if she is single. I left POF in 2022 and haven't come back thanks God.

      Although I think that dating apps are evil, that data point doesn't really demonstrate it. No matter how good the apps are, you'd expect people on them to be less happy than people who don't need them because a) they're content with their relationship, or b) they're so hot that they have people throwing themselves at them.

    Don't forget men outnumber women on the apps by 2 or 3 to 1. The majority of women won't consider men under a certain height. Also, a huge percentage of women's profiles are either inactive, outright fake or have so little information one can't even make a determination on possible compatibility.
    Imagine walking into a room with a hundred potential mates. As soon as you enter, ninety walk out. Then out of the remaining ten, nine of them walk out while you are talking to them. The one remaining agrees to a first date and then never shows up. I am NOT exaggerating these numbers at all. This is what it's like for me on dating apps and why I have given up on them.

    Dating apps aren't there to make dating more accessible, it's to make money. They promote the best looking girls/guys and make it so they never leave the platform. It is so to make other users long for what looks good, something they want, without ever giving it to them. Dating apps are there for the best to feel better about themselves and for the normal to long for more and spend money on the app, because that is so called the only way to get what you want, at least that is how they want to make it look like.

    Amazing provocation. People simply do not want to have a adrenalines of finding new people anymore. When people say they are lazy to meet other people is basically fear of being rejected. So, apps made these same people feel it is "more normal" to portray your self on a giant human menu than going to a park and ask someone you like out. That is why we lonely.

    If you are a man reading this then I highly recommend you delete the dating apps and just set the challenge of talking to one new girl a day, even if there’s no romantic interest in her. That will be infinitely better for your general wellbeing and eventually you’ll find a girl.

    "People behave worse online" another example of the importance of shame having a role in our society, not only are there low to no consequences if enough money is involved, they also avoid being named and shamed under the protection of corporations so they even escape feeling bad about hurting others. This is a disaster for teaching moral lessons, how will they ever learn to sympathise with the suffering of others if they don't even know what it feels like? It explains a lot about our society.

    @bastjansejberg105 19 дней назад

    A glaring oversight here is that you mention "heightened standards" on dating apps. However, I can confidently state this is from a female's perspective, not a male. Most men barely get any matches, thus most of the time, we just swipe on whoever on dating apps. I quit dating apps for the better, but I remember how conversely, I would significantly lower my standards with woman I would never give a chance in real life, just in hopes it would result in a future date. I more or less questioned if I had undergone metamorphosis to a cockroach whenever present on dating apps.
    Men DO have certain heightened perspectives on what is deemed "hot", though most men would never maintain this as their dating standard whatsoever, whereas dating apps encourage women to be exorbitantly picky when they can swipe on just about anyone and get a match, BUT I can assure you, most of those men just swipe on anyone and would never be in a relationship with you anyways and would most likely just sleep and sweep you, unless you're as attractive/well-established as he is.

The impact on self-esteem, rejection sensitivity, and even the way we view ourselves and others is profound. It's essential that we start having more conversations about the downsides of dating apps and how to protect our mental well-being in the process. I've been creating content on my channel, Empowerment Psychology, aimed at supporting veterans and everyone dealing with trauma, PTSD, and mental health challenges.

There were very few, if any women within my age preference category, let alone *real* women who maybe at least appeared to be not quite so... I don't know... superstar-ish? Thankfully, I paid no money for that service, and I'm quite likely never going to try them again. Oh, there are apps out there for more mature audiences, but I learned they tend to filter members via status. (Certain amount of income, has a car, etc.) Now full disclosure, I only looked at one of those. But it pretty much painted a picture of what I was looking to get into, (albeit an incomplete picture) and I walked away.

    The entire premise is flawed. There is no functional way to date in the modern way. We treat intimacy too loosely and take being in a relationship for granted. The ideal is one relationship that you intended to turn into marriage from the get go and you open your heart to one person. Sex is merely a byproduct not the goal. Kids the ultimate end, not the relationship itself. Kids propagate not just our genetics but our culture and vision for a better society. Modern dating corrupts that purpose.
