At what point do we admit that an endless supply of people to choose from might be making us worse at choosing, appreciating, and genuinely connecting with anyone?
Maybe deleting the app is the first step towards seeing people as people again.
I’m not saying everyone on dating apps is miserable or that real love can’t happen there. I’m saying we need to question what these platforms are doing to our attention, our self-esteem, and our ability to connect.
Maybe the most disturbing thing dating apps have done is convince us that love is a numbers game, loneliness is a personal failure, and our worth is something we need to prove over and over again.
We’ve normalised treating people as disposable, mistaking attention for attraction and matches for validation. This isn’t emotional freedom. It’s a marketplace disguised as romance.
When you’re constantly exposed to potential alternatives, even good people start feeling replaceable. You stop asking, “Could this be something?” and start asking, “Could I do better?”
Dating apps sell you the illusion of endless options while keeping you trapped in the same cycle. There’s always someone new to swipe on, but rarely anything meaningful to build.
The worst part? You start believing that you’re the problem. Not attractive enough, not interesting enough, not desirable enough. An algorithmic marketplace slowly becomes your mirror.
Dating apps have turned human beings into products. We scroll, judge, compare, reject, and move on in seconds. And somehow, we wonder why real connection feels so difficult.
Why build a flying car when an autonomous drone taxi could solve the same problem? The goal should be solving the problem, not bringing a specific imagination to life ?
@adityamorex but simply because the government represents a right-wing Hindu political ideology. Ironically, some of these same individuals may support equally ideological, polarising political movements when those movements align with their own religious or political identity.
@adityamorex What makes this narrative particularly concerning is how readily some people adopt an anti-establishment position not because they disagree with a specific policy, question a particular decision, or object to a demonstrable injustice..
