  • As a guy who has been in this position (like I almost made a post that would’ve rhymed with this one a couple months back) I feel like the issue is endemic to the dating apps as a whole. All of these apps, no matter how they try to present themselves, are a numbers game. They only really work well if you’re talking to a bunch of people.

    In my experience this encourages people to take a “low stakes and ready to bail” kind of approach to dating where people will break off a budding relationship before it gets too serious for any perceived shortcoming from the other person. Which inevitably leads to them back to the app and starts the cycle over again.

    It’s incredibly frustrating and exhausting. I’m sorry that it didn’t work out how you hoped. As someone who also has a busy schedule it can be really depressing to have someone you were interested in and trying to work with to date just fizzle away on you. Here’s hoping you have better luck in the future!











  • To add to this TLDR, the age gating and sensitive content filter forced onto underage users plays into Metas surveillance Capitol business model and removes a lot of the visibility and resources that LGBTQ youth might need/want because by default it considers anything that has to do with LGBTQ topics as adult and blocks them under the sensitive content filter.

    This has a possibility of increasing the social isolation that LGBTQ youth might experience by depriving them of access to their communities online if they are subject to the sensitive content filter
