Am I the only one who is completely underwhelmed by dating apps? The droid-like conveyor belt of merchandise in the form of faces, the mechanical reciprocity, the lackluster five-or-so texts before realizing that even the "time-saving" swipe factor is a waste of time. I rarely complain. But I am finding it hard to discover any positive attributes of the app-love limbo. It just seems so far removed from anything resembling an organic exchange.

I've never been on one (although this is sort of one I suppose). I just pick people up in the street (first husband) or marry my students (second husband). Do you think I need to change my tactics?

For much of my later adult life i have dabbled with such sites, though never, thankfully, wanted to depend on them. Never met anyone i wanted to marry, though found some great folks on the way. So glad there are viable alternatives!

I call those sites man shopping sites.

No opinion on that much, as I'm not here for the dating part and have never used dating sites before.

It's primarily a meat market (and yes I spelled that word correctly). Don't like the look of this one? Next!

I remember when it was all organic. And that was better because you knew if you had chemistry because both people were present and engaged. Now you have no idea until you waste a lot of time cyberchatting and then suggest a coffee date - and good luck getting anybody to show up. I'm amazed at how many people are afraid to meet in person any more. Its like a cyberfantasy is all they want or need. I don't know if people have become more cowardly or more paranoid, but its unfortunate because unless I actually meet someone in person I dunno if I'm attracted to them sexually or not. Its all about the vibe.
