Destroying. There are rarely any normal or decent people on them.

People have always struggled to find love, it’s not a new concept of this generation we’re living in. There were always the jocks and the mean girls, it’s always been this way. I think it’s more important to discuss the digitalization of everything, not just dating. Some people can’t fathom talking to someone they find attractive in person because of how online we are, we’ve become socially inept

Empowering, by my POV anyway. Almost nine years ago I met an amazing woman on Tinder. And in spite of her being rather obvious about her intention to break up as soon as some debts are repaid between us, I wouldn’t give up a moment of the time we’ve had 🙂

Who knows. I tried online dating and it makes me too nervous. People can portray a look and attitude that isn't really them. Next thing you know you're stuck somewhere trying to be cool because you're low key afraid that this person knows what you drive now.

I think traditional dating cultures are dying off anyway because they often don’t work.

Whatever the cause we need to do better because dating is so toxic and has been for like ever.

empowering people, but I don't know that I'd call it love. I mean, maybe eventually if you are lucky.

People used to have arranged marriages or family introduced you to someone they knew so dating app is about the same until you actually meet them and date you dont really know them

Dating apps destroy traditional dating opportunities, not dating cultures!

What most men and women don't understand about dating is that dating is not like ordering something on Amazon and having it delivered to your door. But that's what those so-called dating apps are having us do. Dating apps are being used like mail-order catalogue order forms where you fill in the squares and mail it in, then wait for the appropriate amount of time to pass and maybe then something interesting might show up.

The reason dating apps don't work and never will work is because we are not attracted to a person by their 'picture' or by their vital stats written on a website.
We are attracted to a person's energy. Period.

What this means is, we MUST have face-to-face contact with a person before we can even consider dating them because without that close contact, we CANNOT sense their energy.

It is a person's energy, their aura, their soul ..that attracts us to them, not their picture! A person can look fabulous in a picture but when you stand near them, they can have really bad energy or chronically bad breath or have a personality that would sour lemons, despite their totally knock-out good looks! 🤤

What this means is, if you met someone who's personality sucked big-time but they looked like god's gift to women/men, would you date them anyway?

The answer should be a resounding NO! because their rotten personality will eventually overshadow their good looks and you will end up dumping them!

That is why you will often see very beautiful women/men, walking arm in arm with someone down the street who is butt-ugly and you cannot figure out what the heck that beautiful person saw in that old ditch pig they're walking with?

What they saw in each other was a mutually desirable energy which means their respective energies were compatible to both of them and it is their mutual energy that attracts each other TO each other, not anything physical. If you think it's physical, try dating someone who doesn't speak a word of your own language.

Not being able to communicate because of a language barrier is like dating a person who has chronically bad breath due to very poor oral hygiene. The relationship will be very short lived in either case.

That is why dating apps and dating websites don't work. You have to be in the other person's personal space for at least 4 minutes to be able to tell if you are even remotely attracted to that person or if you are compatible to them. Beautiful people might surprise you when you eventually learn how rotten their personality really is!

Always go in with a very open mind and don't EVER get involved with blind dating... unless it's only for a pre-planned 5 minute meeting where initial intros might happen!

They actually do help people in rural areas.Or socially closed off areas to find a broader base of potential partners

If it wasn’t for dating apps I’d be single forever

I'm just glad I never had to use them. 😦

I think they are.

No idea seriously I never date and I'll never be it the traditional way or not

Robots like you surely are having a great time on them!

I bet your name is Ashley.

both can be true.

Dating apps are only about making...

I've tried numerous dating apps. They only work for the pretty people with lots of money to plug into their apps to pay for a subscription. The rest of us are screwed, and not in the fun way.

Delete those dating apps and date that nice man who lives in his van down by the river 🤗

No.
