- The existence of apps like Tinder, meant to aid in modern age dating, are doing more harm than good for those looking to find a serious partner. This is happening simultaneously with an explosion in the hookup culture, it’s popularity is akin to the “Swinging Sixties” in which pre-marital sex was the “new” fad. Users of dating apps seem to be split down the middle, those looking for something serious, and those looking for sex; and as we progress into the future one is becoming much more popular than the other. Activity from Tinder, and other apps that fall into the same category, are pushing long term relationships further and further down the rabbit hole. Forget chivalry, maybe it is monogamy that is dead.
- Dating apps have come a long way in terms of convenience and efficiency; they provide today’s modern singles with the opportunity to find people with similar wants and interests. Services like Tinder bring local singles looking for love a touch screen away; this raises the question, why are so many people having so much trouble? Recent studies are showing over-use of dating apps are causing low self-esteem and detachment from romantic partners, within their user bases. This seems counterintuitive considering these apps are meant to bring people together not push them apart.

The replacement “have come a long way” version is horrible.
Neither is particularly strong, but by now you’ve improved on both considerably, right?
Grade Neutral.
