it does if you think a little... women know there are men out there who'd have sex with or date them, but that doesn't guarantee the men are sentient or kind

Any women can get hundreds of likes on a dating app in a week. You cannot tell me out of all of those people there aren’t a handful of them who are good enough to try a first date

Dating apps are designed to make money off your loneliness, not help you leave the app. And they are full of bad men who want a low effort way to get a date

So you’re telling me none of those hundreds of men who would like a woman’s profile are worth going on a first date with

No. Just that you have to sift through a lot of bad ones to find them

That applies to dating in general as a male or female. So basically you’re complaining you’ll have to actually put some basic effort in meeting people if you want to get a good bf

Effort = going out on dates with people who seemed normal on the app but might be violent. Effort = risk. Dating app bad.

You have a higher chance of getting in a car accident on the way to the date than facing violence in a public venue in broad daylight from a hinge date

They could also stalk, coerce, deceive and abuse, or use various other measures to get what they want

The only risk I faced finding my bf was the risk everyone else faced showing up to college classes every day. If I had signed up for a dating app on top of that, my total risk would have been risk = everyday risk + dating app risk.

By finding someone in person, my risk was risk = everyday risk < everyday risk + dating app risk.

So yeah some risk and effort is required to get a bf expecting it to not be present at all is ridiculous most gen z relationships are coming from apps anyways nowadays

Well like I said, simple math says that if I increase my exposure to people who are clearly seeking dates, I increase my overall chance of being victimized. BUT I got curious about dating app stats and looked up studies about it.

I found this one study that found that dating apps increased narcissistic and Machiavellian traits among users over time.

So while the real world has some risk of meeting nasty people, there’s some actual evidence dating apps are worse.
