Many many moons ago when OLD dating was new, I tried it and thought it was shite. I was in my early 20s.
I then met some one - the old fashioned way, got married blah blah and split up two years ago. (Mid 40s now) I’ve not even thought about dating yet as I’ve been put off by my twatty ex!
Whilst I was married many of my friends were OLD and got burned - rinse and repeat. There seemed to be a script which the men worked from.
Then lockdown happened and I’ve noticed that several people I know entered ‘bubbles’ with men they’d just met online having intense relationships with complete dickheads. Normally we would meet for drinks and vet them out, they’d see each other once or twice a week and see how it went but this past year of lockdown sped the process up massively. Once everything opened up the men they were seeing fucked off.
I have two male family members who see 3/4 women at once. All through OLD. It’s like a sweet shop for dick heads.
Is this the future of dating? Have men lost respect for women as they can just log in on line and pick another. Is it really ok to just swipe and swipe until some takes your interest like a catalogue? What if you just take a really bad picture but your a real catch in RL?
Mind boggles me.
