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!
Dating apps are designed to make money, not help you hook up. They want you on the site, seeing ads, or paying for more likes. Their profit rests on you NOT getting a date.
I suspect there are two key deterrents to using dating apps:
1: Folks that are dating material ultimately leave the pool… leaving those that… aren’t. The longer the cycle continues the more undatable fill the population of date app users. So, by no fault of the dating app itself, the vast majority of potential dates suck.
2: Then we get into the conflict of interest. Dating apps don’t want you to find your true love. They want engagement and subscription fees. It’s in their best interest to give you a substandard experience.
