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.

    Because in college you’re basically in an extremely target rich environment.

      I think there was definitely a movement around the early 20 teens where women were adamant that dating would be on their terms. Cat calling and other outdated practices were falling away and women were accelerating these cultural changes by trying to divorce their daily life from their dating life. Dating apps were a huge part of this.

      But now a new generation and I think boys behave themselves at least a little better? And now I presume the wall between life and dating life is less necessary. Getting hit on, on the campus bus, is probably different than it was ten years ago.

      My two cents as a straight, 33 year old.
