‘Why am I talking to 10 guys? It feels like a full time job' | The Guardian

It’s not my fault and it’s not the fault of the men I’m approaching. It’s dating as a whole. It’s in crisis.

Dating apps have changed us and in reality there’s probably no going back. When people don’t use apps, it doesn’t mean they start meeting in person, it just means they don’t meet anyone at all.

A friend of mine recently compared the situation to Uber and the way the ride sharing app monopolised the market by offering crazily low fares so that even though it barely works any more you have no option but to use it, standing and waiting while car after car cancels your trip.

I can’t remember the last time someone approached me at a party, or when I did the same to someone else.

it makes me wonder whether there’s a possibility we’re getting to a place where we are more comfortable putting ourselves out there. Hannah Clifton, 33, from Liverpool and a regular at BODA thinks so.

Another told me recently about a guy who chatted her up on the tube. “Nice turnip,” he said looking down at the produce overspilling from the brown paper bag full of farmer’s market produce. They’re going out together on Wednesday.

Love is still here

What a terrible article about stereotypes about women
