They've become more of a farce. I think it would not be wrong to call them e-brothels. Calling them "Dating" apps feels like an insult to the intricate art of courtship. Like if you agree.

They may not always be fake, but nobody wants anything real anymore. Only hookups is what they want. So, I can't find any quality people.

I met a girl on tinder. 1 year later I'm left a shell of a man and wish only had I swiped left and not right.
They do work but you will usually have to pay a high price and add boosts etc.
Definitely worth getting outside and talking to people.
And don't go on apps drunk you'll invite a world of trouble
