I was talking with my coworker after we got off work & we began talking about the state of dating, more specifically, about the use of tinder and the other dating apps. She asked if I was on there I gave some pretentious answer about getting off them for my mental health or something, and she told me she was on them, but only when she needs some-& I interrupted, ‘what? MALE validation??,” to which she honestly and admirably said ‘yeah, or just someone to tell me Im pretty.’
So what's the deal with these apps, are they good? are they bad? Let's breakdown that black and white paradigm & discuss some nuance.
