    1. how do you meet online if the apps designed to get you a partner are also built to keep you there for as long as possible and spend as much money as possible?

      As dating apps seem to slowly die it’s good to remember that there are still so many other avenues to pursue

      interesting, i feel like there’s likely a LOT of overlap between “college” & “online”

    4. how does a 2023 source that is 2017-2020-2022 combined dataset has 2023 and 2024 data? Are those estimations?

    5. Met my girlfriend on Hinge and honestly everyone I’ve had actual relationships with on dating apps only 1 did I meet in person during college

      I also believe that the societal shift that’s been happening (for valid reasons) where men don’t engage women in the workplace/bar/gym ect has a place in this I would feel terrible if I had a crush on someone and tried to engage and I made them uncomfortable it just feels better to go in knowing someone wants to potentially date you

    6. I really think the whole always online thing is gonna keep making society worse. At least if you meet someone in all of the other ways, you’re likely to live within a half-hour of them, if you meet online who knows how many hundreds of miles away they are? Not to mention the compatibility issue, you’re not going to truly know if you like someone without being right next to them. And even outside of relationships, the fact that people are becoming more and more disconnected from their local community in favor of online ones, it means even neighbors are strangers and you can’t trust anyone.

      Mad how 0% of people met online in 1954. Just going out and living their lives, not relying on the internet to build friendships and relationships ships. I bet they weren’t on mobile phones all day either.
