I met my wife on a dating app about ten years ago and haven’t looked at any of these apps since. Even back when I was still on them, it was a common joke that online dating was going off the rails. Based on these new cringey screenshots, though, I think it’s officially gone completely off a cliff at this point. I don’t envy anyone still out there navigating this stuff.

Hopefully if you’re still swiping, your experience is going better than these folks’. Maybe it’s time we start meeting people in person again, like actual humans used to do.
