The Think Before you Sleep YouTuber broke down some problems with online dating that sounded similar
The biggest problem for online dating for everyone is that your pictures are everything. The vast majority of people are going to be deciding based almost entirely on pictures. It is a buffet of shallowness, I agree. It also means that people who can take a good picture (or doctor one, I’ve seen a lot of that), are at a huge advantage, regardless of how attractive they actually are
The next is that the thousands of choices makes everyone extremely selective especially women. Now this is obviously going to vary based on who you go after. I am on the shallow side so I tend to go after not the absolute prettiest, but close. There are many girls I see on there who have a few flaws, like thin lips or slightly too wide a face, but actually have a decent/healthy/slender (whatever you’re into) body. And I think man, I bet a lot of guys this girl has right swiped has left swiped her back (left means rejected on all apps). I bet if I didn’t, she would be all over me. But I just couldn’t do it, because of my shallowness. BUT, dating apps did not make me this way. I have always put too much value on looks
I got off in a tangent but yeah those are the biggest flaws of online. The other girl I’m dating that my fam set me up with hates social media and dating apps and says she has no interest in meeting people that way. A huge potential loss, because she is quite pretty and if she put any time or effort into them she could make a killing. But yeah if you can meet someone organically like through friends or something that’s always going to be ideal. Whatever the connection is, whether it’s friend of a friend or a co-worker or whatever, you get a trial run of their personality before you start dating them

There is so much I want to address because like 50 cannaries are dead in this message, not your fault, just observing that society is rotting to the core.
Talking to a woman in real life is sexual harasment now and even looking at a kid is pedophelia.
We're doomed.
Did you know it used to be 45% of Americans met their SO's at work and those that met their SO's at work had a 90% chance of successful marriage.
Now the work place marriages make up 20%
And women still get paid less than men.
We're doomed.
DOOMED.
