Has anyone ever married or gotten in a long term relationship from a dating app?

I don't understand how you can get to know anyone by swiping left or right.

Where is the lengthy text?

Now there is a chance over private messages. Yet to get to that point is far worse than actually physically dating anyone for the first time.

They don't even encourage lengthy about me's! And if it's there at all, it's all one block of text copied from some unsecured blog page which is not even searched by ANY search engines.

It's why I don't pay attention to long blocks of text on here! I don't want to know anyone that can't write a five sentence paragraph or less, because it's just copied and pasted off of such unsecured sites.

@DeWayfarer When I had used dating apps you had to actually send a message through the system. The swipe left and right stuff came later. I honestly can't do the swipe thing without seeing a whole profile. A photo and a couple brief sentences that fit on a phone screen without scrolling is just to shallow an introduction for me.

@ViciDraco still it's very short, and very likely one block of text.

I have been on other sites. They do discourage long text. Mostly to give the scammers a chance.

The last site I was on a year ago they limited the number of private messages. Something like 5 a day. And no replying back.

So how can you do any kind of conversation? 🤷🏻‍♂️
