Through the pandemic I know more and more people getting to know their SO via Tinder. Initially I was really dismissive of it (I didn't say anything out loud). I thought these relationships wouldn't hold up. I looked down on it as a proletarian thing. I thought it was dystopian to get everything in life with the click of a button like they are ordering something from an online shop...
But on the other hand ... Maybe one day it will be weird to talk to strangers out of the blue with romantic intent?? It is kinda weird if you think about it. Also there are just objective facts that people can write in their bio which makes sense since there just are objective facts that makes people compatible or not.
What do you think? Will dating be synonymous with dating one day? Like in 2050 or something? When most people in the population are digital natives.
lol haha I was about to say it already has basically...to be honest nothing will ever replace irl though...so I don't honestly think it will take away dating as a whole.
Yes, it already has for most young people. It makes pursuit of the "right" kind of person way more efficient absent any kind of offline clubs/groups/associations.
I kind of see it less like a setback and more of a tool. It's kind of like asking "do you think chainsaws will replace handsaws?" ... depending on the circumstance, yeah.
Only if you are a Chad. Normfags and hideous H.R Giger Aliens have ZERO (0) chance in online dating.
We are going to go back to times where only the top 40% of men are having sex and 60% die virgins.
see this:
Oh, that's exaggerated. I know nobody who didn't get at least a few matches after a few weeks.
Also, what's up with that incel lingo 🤡🤡🤡🤡
these are straight facts
have you seen the video?
I'cant rn because I'm at the office rn.
I don't like the pessimistic black pill outlook. To me that sounds like self-pitying whinyness incel bullshit. I think it's quite exaggerated. I know lots of average looking guys that have a more than zero success in dating.
"There is no such thing as online dating. Only online meeting." - An acquaintance of mine
I don't think so, there is a lot to be said for face to face conversation, reading ques, body language and engaging with a person with all your senses, yes we have this online communication but it cannot create deep connection and trust
Online dating will always be around and can be a funnel you use to meet people but I don't see how it replaces it, even with the culture shift to online, theres certain fundamentals that you cannot change. I've been in a long-distance relationship in the past and even with technology there is only so much you can do
People who focus on online dating will be doomed to have vapid relationships
Exactly, not only that but only dating has distorted the way we judge people. Now on Tinder like apps you see people swiping left and right in a blink of an eye, it's absurd how fast they can scan a single photo and judge an entire person out of it.
The average swipe takes about 2s, imagine you have present you to someone in just 2 seconds...
I'm glad I'll never need stuff like that because online dating looks more like a torture than anything else
dating means different things to differnt ppl it seems so hard to say. If you want to get to know someone i dont think online will suffice.
I want to say that there will always be people who prefer meeting others (in all sorts of contexts) organically in person, but it's getting harder to futurecast what the world will be like 10yrs from now, because of the confluence of different macro factors.
I'm not in the dating market myself, but I'm fine with either method.
