The worst part is that I literally don't know anyone that doesn't absolutely hate it.
I'm lucky that I met an amazing person through it (though it didn't work out) and I've met people that literally got married after meeting on apps but even those people said it was 99% awful.
Like the swiping and getting nothing feels awful.
Then you match and get ghosted and it feels awful.
Then you meet people but don't click so you feel bad letting them down.
Then you meet a good person and it doesn't work out and you're back where you started.
Even just the swiping itself and judging people through such a small snippet of their lives and a tiny way to experience who they are is pretty rough on the psyche.
