    Yeah no doubt. Not saying there’s no reason to be on the apps in college. I’m just saying there’s less and less opportunity for meeting people in person by chance at social events the older you get, and the more your social life includes people from work, married folks, parents, etc.

    College is the densest pool of single people with lots of free time you’ll ever experience bar none.

      Definitely true. Unfortunately, the irl dating scene in those “dense pools of singles” follow the same pattern as the apps; Everyone keeps wanting and expecting to get the top tier guy/girl, simply ignoring (=swiping left) all others that would probably be a better match and/or have more in common.

        sure its callled not giving someone a chance, being quick to judge, the apps tend to make the personalities and behaviors we have more obvious because they make it easier and more efficient to express this, but like others have said some of these apps are challenging to use by design, they want to extract money from you, not get you a date
