    I assume years of collectively crying about it online has made something as simple and natural like dating seem like this unachievable task.

    Not sure if it’s just me, but I feel like young people are less capable than ever to socialise. I thought I was a social pariah, but I don’t have shit on some people out there.

      I think a big part of it is online dating is just how it’s done these days.

      But yes, we’ve done a great job of over-complicating something as simple as human interaction.

        I think so too. Online dating is just too convenient. It’s easier to arrange a date while playing video games than going into a club or other places you don’t like to begin with. I won’t lament those places dying out. Fuck them, never felt comfortable there.

        But online dating should have made things easier not worse. Then again those sites aren’t free of blame too.

          The problem with online dating sites is that they have the wrong incentive. They want to make money, not bring people together into lasting relationships.

              Pubs make just as much money if you’re in a relationship or not. The motivation is to sell you alcohol they don’t care about your relationship status.
