‘It’s quite soul-destroying’: how we fell out of love with dating apps
For a decade, apps have dominated dating. But now singles are growing tired of swiping and are looking for new ways to meet people – or reverting to old ones

Dating websites were useless, turning them into phone applications just made them even less engaging then they already were.
An extremely tiny percentage of dating website users get anything positive from it. You might as well play a lottery instead.
I'm married now but was pretty successful in meeting people through dating apps when I was single for a couple of years. Each and every person I met ended up being a complete shit show, by far the worst dates and one worst relationship of my life. The relationship was with someone who turned out to be an abusive narcissist. Fun.
By contrast, the relationships and dates that came from meeting people in person were the best, I think because they originated from spontaneous mutual interest, plus I could much more easily weed out the creeps.
I wouldn't say that. I know several people in long term relationships that met on Tinder.
I just don't see this. I've had lots of success and I'm not a typically attention-grabbing person on a dating app (my first line is about how I'm married).
I have numerous friends who met their long-term partners on dating apps.
