Dating websites were useless, turning them into phone applications just made them even less engaging then they already were.

An extremely tiny percentage of dating website users get anything positive from it. You might as well play a lottery instead.

I wouldn't say that. I know several people in long term relationships that met on Tinder.

I just don't see this. I've had lots of success and I'm not a typically attention-grabbing person on a dating app (my first line is about how I'm married).

I have numerous friends who met their long-term partners on dating apps.
