The trouble with dating Apps

1. Endless swiping creates decision fatigue.
2. Algorithms favor looks over compatibility.
3. Ghosting has become socially acceptable.
4. Too much focus on instant gratification.
5. Profiles are curated to impress but not connect.
6. Misleading photos set unrealistic expectations.
