This dating has turned things upside in a few ways.
Dating ADD: Constantly dating and checking your account for the next best thing. It happens for both sexes. I've know people checking their apps on dates. The constant churn is real and people don't take time to get to know each other before chasing the next patch of green grass.
Real Life Attention Starved= Attention Whores Online
This happens less with dudes but does happen. Women who are physically less attractive or have a less than stellar personal or financial situations can easily fall into this category.
Basically, women get 10 to 100 times more messages than guys do. So guys are just trolling sending messages to a ton of women to see if they get a response. Women in real life who normally don't get any attention suddenly have a ton. That inflates their ego and they can become very selective. Many of these women though get a few dates with one guy and then ghosted after hooking up. Why...next topic
1/3 of the guys on these sites are degenerates. Truth!
Whether it's cheating, being dishonest, or only in it for sex there are some that hide their motives. This just makes things worse for the sincere folks.
This is coming from me, friends, and coworkers over the years. YMMV
Hypergamy on steroids.
