Do you think dating apps have made people more selfish & have a disposable mindset?

[Anonymous]

As in during early dating phases, people treat their matches like they’re not people and will just dump and move on very easily over small things. And even once in a long term relationship, it’s created a culture where people will dump or even blindside at the first hurdle?

Yes it has

No it hasn’t

This is why many people looking for a genuine connection don’t last long on dating apps…. Most people are either there to feed and validate their egos. OR… are desperate people that nobody wants. That’s reality.

Why not just dump and move on? When someone is getting fed all this attention and enjoys hurting other people to feel powerful. That’s what they do… also when they get bored of one person. They have another… that’s just what it is. And the biggest shame a lot of these people are in relationships.

You would be surprised (having been on a few apps before) how many people you’ll see that are in relationships… and no they aren’t just old accounts new photos. Some are there to cheat all th wah and others…. There to feed their egos.

I would say…. There is lots of weirdos online. You don’t know who you’re really talking to…. And if you’re wanting a serious relationship you’re probably not going to find it there point blank.

You don’t know if the person you’re talking to is married or in a relationship. You don’t know if they’re just there for shits and giggles. If they are just there to feed their egos. Whatever…. That’s why I don’t use those apps.

No. I think those people were selfish to begin with. But I do think those people have created a culture to online dating that feeds it's own toxicity.

Most women go on dating apps to window shop with no intention of dating ANY man, save for the rare unicorn that they will NEVER find on a dating app. This eventually chases off any decent man only leaving the f***boys, or at least a disproportionate large number of them. And then women wonder why they only guys there are are the ones will lovebomb, and then harass them when she won't sleep with them.

It's all pretty funny when you think about it. There's no sense getting mad about a dating pool that was full of pee before you even got there.😆

Impossible. 95% of people never use dating apps.

[slimyWitch]

Then other 5%.

I have used online dating sites periodically since 2007 and never treated a woman in a disrespectful manner.

[Summeroflove]

Even now? You’re married

[OlderAndWiser]

@Summeroflove No, not at present. I started dating Ms. Helen in December 2020 and cancelled by subscriptions within two weeks of our first date.

Oh okay

Less about the apps and more a symptom of culture in general. Immediate dopamine is subbing for longer term opportunity

A lot of people have been selfish since I can remember. Just avoid them as best you can.
