Yeah. That and you cut so many important parts of meeting your partner. This is a easy shortcut for people with low social skills. Cutting important parts of meeting someone, and being already in the I like you let’s X, usually ends poorly. You see some successful stories here and there, but there sre millions dating through apps.

I definitely agree, but you can use dating apps with the goal of just meeting new people. Reorient a “first date” into a more casual hangout to get to know this new friend and potential partner. I treated dating almost like interviewing and looked for incompatibilities or irreconcilable differences within the first few conversations. Not saying it’s easy (and organic meetings are much better), but it can be done.
