It's definitely sad that it's become so popular. Surely they ruin the magic of meeting someone from just being in the right place at the right time, rather than scrolling through the profiles of complete strangers to find someone you may have a chance of being compatible with based solely on how they've chosen to present themselves. It just doesn't sound fun, or magical or romantic.

I agree with this for younger people, I think it must get harder to meet people though when you get older

Met my boyfriend on tinder, didn't realise how addicted I was to swiping until I deleted my account!

Signed up to Badoo and Lovoo some years ago, met someone off Lovoo and he was really nice. Signed up to POF before I moved to London to meet some people in the area (not really intended for relationship purposes), and I met a few people off there who were also awesome people. I'd say POF is easily the best from my experience.

I've used OKCupid, Oasis, Badoo, Freedating, Plenty of Fish and another one - the name escapes me.
I've dated a few women on there. When I say dated, I mean just one date per woman. They're okay chatting online but when it comes to the meet - or date - they're different people. I was chatting to a woman at the weekend. She was sending really long messages on char, and then I said I had to answer the door, and when I came back, she had blocked me. |

It isn't like the sad pervs in the chat rooms back in the 90s. People use the apps to organise social meet ups. And not always sexual meet ups. |

Lots of people just use the apps for titillation and get off on chatting and swapping pics etc and that's where it can be really anti-social and even unhealthy though, but other that it can aid a social life rather than be detrimental to it.

They're also really helpful for people who don't get out very much, like a friend of mine is disabled and doesn't leave the house very often (and hates bars and clubs etc because of access) but he occasionally meets people after chatting and getting to know them online, so they have a huge benefit to people like him.

Is that like the guns are dangerous, just the people holding them are argument?

Grindr and it's ilk have the seedy reputation but the mainstream ones are largely used by ordinary people looking for ordinary dates. |

Yes, well it's not exactly an open minded opinion. In the digital age, the statistics of people who meet and stay together through these sort of apps are huge. It helps people who are less confident get to know people, or allowing folk to get in contact with people who are suitable for them who live a longer distance away. There's nothing sad about it.

So why do you feel that way? What is sad about it?
