Try being on the apps for a year without a match. Really helps boost the old self esteem.
Do young people not go places to meet new people anymore? I haven’t been single since dating apps got real popular, but I still feel most people who partner up probably aren’t meeting on the Internet.
I haven’t been single in a long time, but any time I go out there always seems to be single women looking for company, at least enough to try hitting on a dude with a ring.
Less walkable communities, less free time, and more remote work lead to isolation. Our capitalist society was not designed for meeting people, it was designed to make people work
But why are selfish millennials killing the birthrate?!
Our capitalist society was not designed for meeting people
This is strange because people that are coupled (and eventually have children) are stronger consumers than a single person.
Your thinking too long term, gotta think how will this effect this quarters earnings?
Exactly, capitalism is all about short term profits. If you’re a publicly traded company it’s literally law
People who are actively dating also spend more money. We gotta bump those numbers up, Johnson, get the people dating and spending! Lets make a day where couples will spend money on each other.
Lets call it Valentines day, and we’ll put it in each quarter. It’ll be a hit.
I mean you say this but Tinder and all its clones don’t make their money off of people trying to get a date. They make money by pushing you to the brink of what they think you’ll tolerate to not leave the platform, but make matches scarce enough that you pay for premium placement; their goal is to sell premium service, not hook you up.
And actually getting you into a LTR is the opposite of what they want, because it removes two people from their pool.
Don’t use dating apps, they’re not worth your time.
If you’re a guy you’re going to be doing all of the messaging and conversational work almost all of the time.
Just go get a hobby that involves meeting up with people and something will happen organically. Also you’ll be happier and get better interpersonal skills.
But all of my hobbies are total sausage fests
