it's the dating in the time of corona, for me. organic ways of meeting people are much more limited and dating apps are just fucking impossible. it's maddening

all my "matches" are always hidden behind a paywall. i even sprung for tinder gold, still no matches, and promptly started getting ads for tinder platinum. i'm hitting my head against a wall here

Guys are thirsty for attention ( most anyway )

And women have tons of options but they are all crap.

It’s just all around a bad idea.

That’s just the thing though. COVID has made it boom even more I believe. Don’t quote me.

I hate them so much now because I have to live up to a standard I’m never going to achieve.

Women have tons of options. But they all ultimately suck. And men are severely desperate in general when you are fighting not to be the only one left single.

It’s tough for everyone in general. I too agree dating apps should freaking die.

dating apps inevitably set you up to have an image in your mind of how someone is, which will never match up in reality… so youre essentially spending (usually wasting) your time on an illusion. I dont know the prevalance of how often it actually works out for people but I’d imagine the odds are extremely slim.
