Is Dating the biggest scam of the century?

Question

As we know today the online dating is a disaster, both genders hate it with a passion. I can see that dating has been that way since long time but previously the barrier of entry is less for men, the consequence of ghosting is high as well as your date and you will have mutual friends.

But still dating itself is unstable, it is like treating relationship like test driving and pick and choose. Hearts are broken left, right and centre we can see tha most of 90s and 2000s movies are based on heartbreaks, cheating, romanticising romance, etc...

No fault divorce strained it further and now most people are in live in relationship.

I think dating fucked up the world as a whole. There is no sanctity in it, only hedonistic pleasure

People date based on the desire to fuck. Very few people look beyond that when they choose who they want to date. Even if you are a person who waits, you won't generally pick someone who you don't have the desire to have sex with. Few people look at people that they share interests with, who they also might find attractive. I mentioned this before, but my girlfriend isn't a 10 in looks. I only date friends, and I don't pick friend based on who I find attractive. None of my friends were picked because I found them attractive. I was actually concerned about becoming friends with my current girlfriend because I found her extremely attractive and became tounge tied around her. We just liked a lot of the same things, so we kept meeting up in groups. This way of dating is better than most because you become closer doing things you both enjoy and could easily do platonically.

I wouldn't say it is a scam, but there are a lot of people out there who have dealbreakers of some sort that either make them undateable altogether or keep the relationships they do get into short. Stable people without dealbreakers tend to be in long term relationships, so you're much more likely to meet the people with big issues.

If you notice, most of the happy people don’t date. They find people naturally. They cross paths and just know.

Dating sites are good if you are sexually frustrated. If I was single again I wouldn’t go there looking for a partner. Mine wouldn’t be there. Already learned that first hand.

Get your lame ass outta here, kiddo. Your inability to play the game doesn't mean the game is rigged or bad.

You've just a shit dating game plan, or a lame personality. Use a matchmaking service instead.

Head on over to r/Tinder to see if your game is as lame as theirs.

My philosophy on online dating is treat it with a grain of salt and any woman you'll meet off there with a shot of penicillin 🤣🤣🤣 and you'll be just fine.
