Disclaimer: This is just my perception of dating apps

Swipe, swipe, swipe, and then?

Nowadays, people look at their phone aimlessly trying so hard, but also very effortless to find their life partner. Using this apps, we hope we can find something worth more than a sex partner, but less than a human being. Instead of finding the true love some of us desperately want, we just gain the capability of being an instant judge of character.

Let’s see… how fast can you decide a person on the other end is worth for a chance? 5,4,3 second?

The dream of creating an instant connection sometimes also makes us feel like a disposable being. One sex, one night, one month, sometimes one meeting, then there were none, and then they are gone.

Not to mention the ghosting phenomenon, have this happened to you? or vice versa? Me or you does not matter in this case because it is us.

This is actually what happens in life, some just say people come and go, right? But for some reason this apps help people to easily run away with their responsibility to explain things to people, to treat people like a decent human being not just a tester in a brick and mortar shop, to face our problems, to be honest with ownself. Ghosting they say, eh? These ghosts really are terrifying. Yeah, it is me and you. It is us.

Just a reminder for all of us. Be kind, be human.

And do not let these things make you undermine yourself. You are worth it, and deserve to be treated with decency.
