By the numbers: 79% of respondents — college and graduate students around the country — said they don’t use any dating apps even as infrequently as once a month.

    People using dating apps don’t have time to answer questionnaires. You need to invest time to find your soulmate do’h!

      It’s anecdotal but a lot of people I work with have been giving up on the app scene. They’re obviously older than the average college student.

        I feel the same way. Personally, I can’t muster up excitement about getting to know someone just by looking at their last vacation pictures. I believe that a meaningful connection can only be established by meeting in person.

        Going on 20 dates, only to end up feeling indifferent about everyone, in the hopes of eventually meeting someone I truly connect with, makes me feel like a grumpy old man.

          I’m so glad that I never had to deal with the app scene. It sounds both exhausting and boring.

            I robs your soul like facebook on steroids. I’m glad I got over the idea of finding someone online based on some self describing texts and vacation pictures.

            I feel like even on tinder it’s still the first impression that counts, but the first impression consists of meaningless bullshit, so even if you would connect with someone, the first impressions makes you loath meeting these peoples.

            I am glad that I’m not the only one feeling like that. Fuck off tinder, bumble and the likes.
