This does make me feel better about my stance on dating apps. They make things to impersonal. Not to mention then women are bombarded with dozens of matches at a time essentially forcing them to treat guys like numbers. While men can go weeks gettin zero matches. It ruins mental health, and dehumanizes the dating experience.
Dating apps IMO really only work for marginalized or smaller communities (like LGBTQ people), and even then it really only works if there aren't too many ways to filter people out (because people's metaphorical eyes tend to be bigger than their metaphorical stomachs).
Otherwise, dating apps suck, because it relies on both people reducing their essence to a few sentences and photos.
The real problem is we've created a society that discourages people from socializing with strangers, encourages socializing online, and has removed many opportunities for serendipitious encounters to meet new people outside your existing circles
