    Am I the only one here who’s had relatively okayish experiences with dating apps. Im not exactly a soviet-chad either.

    the most toxic relationship in my life was with someone I meet through college so idk if traditional dating is really what everyone makes it out to be.

      in my mostly male and male-presenting friend group, it seems to be split 50/50 in terms of who’s had an okay time on them and who finds them to be a barren hellscape, and it doesn’t really seem to correspond 1:1 with conventional attractiveness either. I think my friends who got on them before they became even further enshittified tend to have a higher opinion of them. FWIW I became single this year after almost 9 years in a relationship and I’m firmly in the hellscape camp.

      (Also don’t let one bad experience scare you off IRL connection, I really do think it’s something special when it works out)
