It makes me so mad/sad that this is the modern reality for relationships. At the same time my self esteem is skyrocketing because of all the likes like a casino with bright lights and big numbers but the whole thing feels cheapened. I know there’s more valid reasons to this besides the fact that idk how to text matches but I’m blanking
Oh ffs is this actually the new norm? I’ve been avoiding it since I’m old (mid thirties) and the entire concept of online dating is kind of foreign to me.
We used to have forums and IRC for these things. IMO worked better than Tinder and the like. There were dating sites back then, and they were super sleazy, and the dating apps from today are just as much, only hiding under a shiny app veneer.
IRC really used to be for hookups? I still use it (for other purposes) and heard things like that before, but I wrote it off as an absurd rumor
