Part 1. Dating and Romance in the app-driven Era

article image placeholderUploaded by @geo_rhymes
Another vital aspect of dating apps might be the liberty they've given us in looking beyond our immediate circle of friends or colleagues to find that potential partner. We finally have the freedom to expand our search and find a partner further than we've ever imagined. But it seems this liberty has come at a cost. We also have to deal with the freedom, albeit a misconceived freedom, of being able to say and do just about anything on these apps and getting away with it

Dating in the era of swiping is forcing us to change our behavior on how we approach relationships and intimacy. Your thoughts? #dating #singleand30

Part 2. Dating and Romance in the app-driven Era

And to conclude on this thought as beings capable of a higher purpose, we crave and desire companionship, intimacy and understanding. But we often don't operate or often don't give out from the same vibrational frequency that we wish to receive. We seek love, honesty, understanding and perhaps stable connections. But do we give all these things that we wish to receive?

But I do find entertainment and seeing this stuff, and I do have the right and the option to swipe left, but when you've already matched and it doesn't say anything on their profile, and then they hit you literally a few lines in with something that just totally takes you back, it's comical. I'm not mad at you, but I'm like, bro, do you kiss your mother with the same mouth that you're talking s*** with?

The person really has to be out of his mind to do that. And also, again, he knows that if he does something like that at a public place, there are consequences to his actions. On a platform like a dating app, there are no consequences. There are no real consequences messages. So people can do anything that they want. That's a great point that you've put out there. And thank you for chiming in with your input

So it's kind of interested whether you find your love on dating app or not. And I think there shouldn't be any appropriate age to date to fall in love. It's you. It's your partner. I don't know. But there shouldn't be some appropriate age to fall in love, I feel

Because in the past days, even if the person has that thing in mind, he cannot express that thing so easily because he might be afraid of the backlash or whatever. But now, because of these dating apps, it becomes so easy for them to treat a woman like object and objectifies the very sexualize everything, whatever you are saying

@shaizakashyap I appreciate that you've spoken about the darker side of these apps. And I'm sorry about the discomfort you faced.

I haven't faced it personally, but I have female friends who tell me all these stories about unsolicited pictures that they receive from their matches and how ugly and distasteful it is. So, yes, I understand and thank you so much for sharing these perspectives. And no, I don't think your perspective is any different or it's wrong. I think that's very valid. And most people don't really come out with these negatives, right?

Wider scope of choices shouldnt be mistaken as open for experiments. Filters helps us to know them better than look for weakness.Profile Segeration

Obviously it helps to increase your scope, but we must not forget are we looking out into a dating pool or a dating fool? But people have made it more of a hookup point, a platform which gives you n number of options to experiment with souls and use them for different purposes. You also talked about the filtering criteria

@Ba-Dastoor You're right. Instead of using these apps... We allow the apps to use us. πŸ˜‚

I think the problem is that instead of using these dating apps, we are allowing these apps to use us. Lowell and ultimately all human beings crave excitement. We are curious. We're driven by the need to explore. It's what got us this far, if you consider history. But we are also capable of deeper connections, healthy and fruitful relationships. We also desire to grow and to nurture. I guess we've forgotten that side of us on these apps
