There's another thing I want to point out on the side of dating apps and incels. I noticed as I was swiping, I was feeling disgust/anger for perfectly normal women based on innocuous things in their profile. The moment I deleted hinge was when I was scrolling through a beautiful girl's profile, who had similar interests, saw that she liked settlers of catan and, with literal distain, thought "Ugh catan sucks" and swiped left (or whatever the hinge version of turning her down was)

It reminded me of a recent study I heard about where playing games without voice chat increases our aggression when we play online, because we assume the worst, and we're not having a human experience with the other person.

I want to put this out there, because it's easy to blame incels but we have to consider there's multiple tech companies out there literally playing/experimenting with their millions of users psyche for their own profit.


The only way to get better is to admit the problem Santncel
