This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

On an individual level? No idea, I have no experience with that lol

On a systemic level? The problem seems to be that people assume dating apps are only for hookups, so people who are looking for something serious avoid them. So the idea becomes true through self-validation. Breaking that cycle somehow would make everyone involved happier I think?

People don't avoid dating apps because of a belief, they avoid them after they've been ghosted by the 3rd or 4th person in as many weeks.

Its a worse experience for building relationships than just regular life in most cases.
