i honestly don't see how people actually start meaningful relationships in this day and age tbh

cuz it seems like most people just want no strings attached crap

like do dates even exist anymore (netflix and chill isn't a date fyi)????

Lol I remember being in college when Tinder first became a thing and I was like "ugh im never getting that, it glorifies the idea of looks being the only thing that matter, and how it takes more than one second to figure out if you like or dislike someone" and etc., pretending to be all enlightened and above it and shit

well too bad, now it's everywhere. even okcupid is tinder now

aren't you female though? don't you get blasted with limitless chad dick?

It hasnt ruined anything. Theres so many people in the world, Im sure it shouldnt be that hard to find someone who wants same thing you do, you just have to take initiative to meet such people.

I think it depends on the circles you mix in. People that use dating apps are the "modern" equivalent to picking up people at bars. You're bound to find way more trash that way.

You can control dating however you want if you're not just trying to please the other person. Just be dominant

You want romancing? I hear ya! Here hold my beer while I tie my shoes and i'll take us to a nice romantic dinner at McDonalds followed by a nice moonlight walk. You can see the moon shine on our faces as it reflects off of this ditch we'll be walking along. It's just the best.

Not ruined. Just changed.

It's always been hard. It's not meant to be easy. Finding someone you click with requires some serious luck and commitment.

I could tell stories about the banal and insipid stuff I see in dating apps, but I can also just as easily admit that I haven't truly committed to the search.

OKC seems to have become a hookup site now. Even the "tips" are all about how to hook up easily.

Also, a lot of bots.

My friend released an app that's all about the date, not the person.

Basically you can post dates, and say "i want to be taken here", or "i want to take someone here", or "i want to split the bill". Then people can "apply" to the date.

https://www.wherewedate.com/

Pretty cool idea I think.

Really? I got an instant match for bringing dogs to an alley to make them eat spaghetti together.

Also I second @joestarrr dating @DocileOrangeCup.
