Check this quick video out, pretty interesting.
Don't worry video doesn't drag out.

I disagree entirely with this video and I don't really mess with online dating (my reasons are different than this video). His reasoning is that it doesn't work like a romance movie where there people who are unlikely lovers don't fall head-over-heels for each other due to experiencing conflict, climax, and conflict-resolution with each other.

There is also no feeling of rejection on initial swipes - why burn people out before a match? What positive would that even bring
The "narcissistic" reasoning he tried to explain is on the person using it.

No such thing as love.... America is about self gratification.... people only love each other as much as they need too....that's when a better prospect come along, they leave for them

People are killing love. Love is natural and inside of every single human being alive. How we express it to one another is the issue. Online dating helps put some logic around dating and creates inorganic "chemistry", imo which can be good or bad depending on the person. I think there should be some logic to dating, but after you've established a natural chemistry.

Threads like this one are really subjective. What love is by it self is really subjective since it's intangible. So it's a lot of semantics, everyone doesn't interpret the word the same. Some people based their interpretation of love off of religious text, while others philosophy, some it's personal experience, and some maybe tradition. Me personally I disagree with the title. Eros love is just pheromones, instincts, and attraction. Tinder is just another platform where people can meet each other it doesn't have that much power.

It's not really the apps or sites that ruin anything. It's more on the people that use it. I've seen females on dating sites that leave their profile up and change the profile to say "I'm married now!" or "I've found the love of my life!"

If either of those were true they would have just taken their profile down. Putting that info up there is that person's way of attracting more attention from other guys and it ultimately sabotages their current relationship. If you live in the same area for awhile you can also see the evolution of some female's profile pages as they look like the life of the party in their 20's to seeming desperate for anything real as they reach their 30's.

Basically females are addicted to the excessive attention they get through the sites/apps and they're causing their own downfalls. And dudes seem to think that level 10 model is just around the corner waiting for them.

Love is a social construct if we're not talking about family or people you knew ya whole life. In terms of sexual/romantic relationships, 'love' just means im attracted to you and you're the best option I can find. I'm convinced of this.

IMO online dating is not killing love, im a firm believer in that you love will come to you when you're ready, some people do go through a confusing phase, either their first love wasn't what they thought it would be, that just turns into knowledge you can apply to your next situation

also i must stress, communication between males and females is still broken, some people think they know it all but when it comes to actually getting to know someone through normal conversation alot of people still cant get it right

and people need to stop looking at love films and other people so much, ive said it before on here, not everyone is going to find love, its still out there but not everyone will get it sameway like someone else.

its funny cause i had all them apps, tinder, pof, okcupid, them shyts is for the birds

Honestly, I think social media and internet dating is killing it because there is a severe unbalance. An average woman on tinder will be bombarded with matches, men not so much. This will make her pickier and always feel like she is in demand BUT really it's an illusion as the same 300 guys are in other woman's inbox. They will go for the best looking guys that are obviously out of their league, then get bitter, call guys dog when they get smashed and dash.

I have used dating apps like Tinder/Soul Swipe, I got plenty of matches is just too much work on my end to filter women. I am good looking enough to get matches but not good looking enough to have these women totally chasing me like they do some guys.

Anyways, not all women use dating apps. These days, I prefer to meet women in person. The only dating market has way too much people to pick.

Expectations and entitlement kill love. Nobody wants to ride their own wave. I messed with online dating on a damn dare ... didn't even take it seriously and had a blast. People forgot how to simply have fun. To be patient, roll with the punches and flesh shyt out.

Don't over think everything fellas. Oh and meeting face to face instead >>>>>>>
