Good.
I’ve never used one of those apps, but the risk of being defrauded or, worse, assaulted, would be way too high for me to take that sort of chance.
I can’t imagine how unpleasant I would feel if I was defrauded or harmed because of using a dating website. I’m going to call that ‘appalling’, although that’s too weak a word.
I’m so happy that I met my wife through circumstance and chance and we just love each other and that’s it.
It’s really not that hard, don’t give out personal info. Meet in a public place.
Long cons are a thing. I think I would just try to date people I already knew or just stay single. But I’m not the most trusting soul after getting burned a couple of times when I owned a business.
Yeah but that’s not an issue with dating apps. That’s just an issue with humans.
Never met anyone good off those apps. Now Craigslist, I have met friends for life.
Met my fiance on a dating app, but I think they really peaked in the pandemic for the reasons the article stated that nobody had anywhere else to go.
Now it’s likely just filters for people who spend the time cultivating a social presence elsewhere.
