Do girls see guys on dating apps as just options (less human)?

I have used online dating occasionally since 2007. I am a big fan of online dating but I would not want to be involved with a site that operates as you described.

I have met some wonderful women online and am currently dating one of those women.

Yes. Like, obviously. And to be fair, if the average guy had an endless sea of female simps willing to lick his boots, he'd treat individual dating options less than they probably deserve, as well.

If you're not at least an 8.5 out of 10 man with a lucrative career (basically a man who wouldn't even need a dating site/app to get a quality woman, to begin with), then it's not even worth it to literally waste your time, and potentially money, on dating sites/apps. These companies make BILLIONS by selling you false hope and exploiting your fear and loneliness. Believe me; I've been suckered by them, too. Was on dating sites commonly since 2006 (when I was 20), up until like, 2016.

It goes all ways. Everyone on dating sites see people this way, it isn't limited to women.

I think each and every person are just options for others 🙄

I mean that's dating in general. You want to find the person who you will be right with and you don't know which one that is till you get to know them. So, in the beginning, all girls are options. There's no such thing as one soul mate in the world. There are likely multiple girls you would work out with and marry and have a wonderful life. Your goal is to find one of those girls by getting to know them one at a time and stopping when you find the right one.

Yes, but it´s only something girls do. Guys do that, too. Sending not wanted dick pics, while not being able to talk about anything than either bragging themselves or what kind of sex they like.
It´s like we guys keep seeing girls just as sex objects we can use. I say we for a reason, because most of dating time I just was looking for sex but later realized what kind of jerk I was.

I’m sorry but, girls like that will end up alone and it’s kinda sad that that’s the case. Women with good hearts are amazing and ones that I would take any day over a girl with an ego like that. Yeah dating apps are whack

Dating apps make money off of your objectification. It's literally their bottom line.

[Avicenna]

Yeah, people see others on dating apps as just a number

Most women use dating websites for 2 things 1. emotional validation 2. Entertainment (maybe even revenge).
Any guy who actually takes a dating website seriously is definitely fighting an uphill battle. I just use it for catch and release.
