Do you think dating apps is a trend that's dying or will die out soon?

Question

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

When dating apps started out, honestly they were great. Plenty of Fish used to be the holy grail of dating apps when it first came out, offering everything for free. You could message people for free, swipe as many times as you want, filter... everything. I had a few dates from it back in the day.

As time went on, more and more dating apps came out, girls started using it to get more followers on social media, just linking their Instagram or something, saying a line like "Not on here often. Add my IG @"..."

Everything is behind a paywall, and it's extremely hard to find love because everyone is technically at your fingertips now. I think it's desensitized guys especially. Women still get a lot of attention on dating apps, so a lot of them just use it as an ego boost, to prove they're desirable. But unless you're the top 5% of men, you're not getting matches. Women are much less realistic than men when it comes to matches.

Guys are slowly walking away from the dating game. Most women just aren't worth it nowadays. Many Western women are entitled, narcissistic, misandrists, who think men only exist as fun time outs so they can get a free meal or something. Let me just clarify it's not all women who are like this. But a good number in western society are like that whether women deny it or not.

Very few men are lucky enough to end up with women who are feminine and do not compete with them, actually understand what equality is, and give them peace. Those women are the logical ones.

Do I think dating apps will die? Not any time soon, because as shit as they are, it's what society has gotten used to. They would rather start a conversation first online rather than approach or be approached.

I certainly hope so. Because as they are currently set up, they only benefit a very small portion of the people who use them. They distort peoples opinions of themselves in a very negative way. Men tend to think worse of themselves and many women can get a very unrealistic view of their value as well. And it’s all designed to keep people paying $30 or more a month and continue to be single. I really have somebody finds a better way in this new age we live in

They're evolving. They won't die out. They're incredibly efficient when used properly. They suffer from vulnerabilities where they happen to amplify some of the worst aspects in humans.

Women get a lot of attention on those apps that can be pretty shallow. Your mileage may vary as to the quality and depth of content depending on your look and the appeal of your profile. Many women tend to get comfortable, and frankly, lazy with dating apps. The "burden" of choice is ever upon them, but the safety of sitting at home in their pajamas casually browsing dating apps while watching Netflix or something and not getting out there to actually date guys is a common problem from the women's end. The excuse about "safety" and the danger of meeting strangers doesn't hold much water because those same risks are present in their day to day lives, and you're still alive to open up a dating profile. I find some women tend to treat dating apps like a real time romance novel texting indefinitely but scared to never meet in person. They want the fantasy, not the real life experience. I've had this personal experience myself trying to get these selfish b****es off their a** and out into the real world to have a god damn cup of ice cream in a public place, and it's like pulling hair. It turns out, some of them were liars on their profile being dishonest about how they look or what their true personality was like. To that I say, either s*** or get off the pot.

Now, onto the guys. The guys who put out low effort profiles will swipe swipe swipe only looking for a lay. Frankly, they deserve any poor experience they get. I have no sympathy for them. They cheapen apps. Other guys will fall into this trap out of frustration because they will not be getting feedback/bites from women when they thoroughly read profiles. Don't fall for this. Perhaps you are aiming above your station and need to take a look into the mirror before thinking you're worthy of a swimsuit model, same could be said of women though they tend to not be as shallow.

The demographic distribution of there being more men than women on these apps amplifies these issues, and that's what these apps should fix. I keep saying that they should verify profiles and only take a guy for every girl. The threshold should be close to 50/50. This isn't a problem for homosexuals.

Regardless, I think they're here to stay. But we haven't seen their final iteration, and we may never see it. As the world depopulates, statistically, there will be fewer people on them as people "go outside" more, but I believe there will be trade off increasing quality for the decrease in quantity.

I don’t see them dying out anytime soon because men and women have become pretty disconnected and I don’t see that improving. I’m still seeing these videos and post about men not approaching women. The, all manner creeps,, Me too,, Men don’t have the right to even speak to us rhetoric is still very common So among a lot of younger men, social media is the only place they feel it’s acceptable to speak to a woman. If this perception isn’t changed that it’s gonna push more people towards Dating apps.

7Phoenix7 · Answer

I don’t think so. there's so many people that use it lol. I don’t and have never used it, and I honestly think it’s better to meet someone organically and naturally… in person.

But I just don’t see it dying out because so many people do use it.

Alex757 · Answer

I have been on many dating apps & for me they just don’t work, I believe in going out & meeting people the ole fashion way at the grocery store, at church, at movie theatres, at Tractor Supply. Fortunately for me in my current job I get to interact with the general public often.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I think there will be constant flow of new people coming of age in the dating market who will have to experience dating apps for themselves. But there is also a huge library of personal experiences documenting the pitfalls and risks of online dating at this point. It may reduce the average time anyone spends wasting time on dating apps to simply verifying what tons of people have already documented. Dating apps are a shit show and a crap shoot.

Kelley1 · Answer

I have zero experience with dating apps because college classes and college parties are excellent ways to meet people.

Do you think dating apps is a trend that's dying or will die out soon?

However, based on the foregoing chart, half of the young men are desperate to meet women and will grasp any straw including dating apps, even with zero success. Therefore, it is unlikely that dating apps will diminish.

nolabels · Answer

Having been married for the past 32 years, I've never used dating apps.

I don't know the first thing about them.

With my being recently widowed, that may change.

I guess maybe I can get back to you on this at a later time.

Cheers!

Kaneki05's answer for me, I believe there's a huge demand for that and I don't see reasons to expect demand decreasing. It's the opposite, I see dating apps being on par with how individualism progresses, on par with how internet takes more and more place in our lives an schedules

thegreenyogi · Answer

I think the way the world is going there is a good chance that dating apps will die out because I think it's real human contact that people crave and we are human. That feeling of connecting in person the first time you meet someone without having swiped left or right first is unbeatable. The surprise surprise effect of life.

permanentem · Answer

Before dating apps there were dating services, dating game shows, match makers , etc.. There's always some portion of the population that is so depressed that they are willing to give someone money in their vulnerable state and there's always some con artist that is willing to take it off their hands.

Abbycado · Answer

Don’t know of a single (pun intended) person that uses them.

NathanDavis · Answer

I think that happened time ago already... aren't most people using social media for that now?

Jeff51 · Answer

Go meet someone. Go out and mingle with people. Dating app are not the way to go. For years people went out to seek romance. With Ai taking over i think some may leave the internet. We really don't need to be online anyway. Look how young people turned out.

Spencer10 · Answer

Oh I hope so... its a terrible way to meet people if you are serious.

Kaneki05 · Answer

Of course not?  Plenty of people are lonely and only find interaction online so there will always be a need for online dating.

LazloValenka · Answer

I think eventually something better would come along. Especially, since there are so many bots and scanners on those sites. I think a good a idea would be clubs, strictly for single people to meet someone can eventually be a thing. I know some bars have a singles night every once in a while. But, it's not a permanent thing.

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I don't think so. A lot of things happen online, it's in people's comfort zone. Less risks. Lots of shy people who use that way to find somebody. I don't see it dying at all.

spartan55 · Answer

Probably not, too much money to be made.  I would love for the stupid 'talking stage' trend to meet a quick and painful death instead.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I would certainly hope so. The impression I get these days is that dating sites and apps are turning into social media.

MrChinaski · Answer

Heaven forbid! We may start talking to each other again.

Xawyx-2 · Answer

The trend will probably continue for at least a decade.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

I hope they die soon and if they do it will be their own undoing for constantly raising the price for making the app actually somewhat useful

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

As long as people want to talk, meet and have sex dating apps will be around as that's the main purpose of those apps.

Starlux · Answer

I don't think they'll die out because there's always an LDR happening, they are challenging to put together and plan but they can work.
