Dolly Alderton: Dating apps make insecurities worse

3 comments
  1. I’m glad someone who’s seemingly never used a dating app has _finally_ given their view on them, and shock horror, it’s not positive.

    As someone who’s done both on and offline dating, they both have their pros and cons. Most level headed people realise that dating apps are a numbers game. Offline dating is fraught with danger in many ways, yet now it’s viewed as the sunlit uplands of the dating world.

    The insecurity issue is almost entirely down to social media in general, of which dating apps are a part of, but you could honestly substitute ‘dating apps’ with literally other way of communicating with people online, and it’d remain true.

    This article also goes massively into ghosting, which yes is a ‘new’ phenomenon in the sense that it now has a fancy new name, but let’s be honest, people have been ignoring others post sex/relationship since time immemorial.

    I get that this is to advertise Dolly’s adaptation, but this is about as empty an article as you get.

  2. If people stopped worrying about their insecurities and just got on with it they’d be in a much better place.

    Stuff like this can really be a self-fulfilling prophecy for some folks out there, and it doesn’t help that the person here is clearly very attractive and has probably never had an issue finding people to date. The other person referenced is a supermodel!! Wtf!! Just piss off please!

    There’s a certain kind of person who will read this rubbish and just give up trying entirely, how is that helpful?

    Why not encourage people to screw their insecurities and go for it? You can do it!
