Why do people feel as if online dating is more efficient than meeting someone in person? (ignore that i just needed to put something there). To this current date, the second most common way people meet each other is through online dating sites and apps(applications). With their ease of use, meeting people today is completely different than the way people used to communicate and interact before the internet. Due to the internet’s accessibility, it could also complicate trying to start a relationship. Using them as a way to find love has changed the way we look at communication between peers. Meaningless sex, depersonalized love, and the ease of finding another sex partner is fueled by dating websites and is creating a lack of long-term relationships.
Meaningless sex is possible through sources like Tinder, where people can ‘like’ or ‘unlike’ someone based off their looks and their biographies they have written about themselves. Due to online dating, men or women have been taken advantage of which is a contribute to meaningless sex. Because of meaningless sex is becoming extremely common, it is causing people to no longer fall in love with one another and having the chemistry between the couple come off as invisible. As mentioned in the “Love me Tinder” article by Emily Witt, David admitted in a note, “…several women have taken advantage of his comfort and confidence to use me for sex and ask me to help them experience new things.” Instead, people are now using each other to fulfill sexual desires and then never speaking again which is deteriorating the sole purpose of love. Watching technology take over not only professions, but the idea of love, it can eventually ruin the possibility of a significant other. This mindset is dragging and can result in extreme unhealthy habits like depression or anxiety. These unstable habits could affect one’s entire life span and potentially haunt them to the point where they can’t find love at all.

Love is extremely depersonalized when using these dating apps. Everyone’s first connection is through a digital form like instant messaging for example. It is the first initial act talking to the other person over social media. When meeting someone this way, one can portray themselves as whoever they want to be which can also show them as a completely different person. Meeting a fake or untrue profile of someone is not the most honest way to introduce oneself for the first time. Although, in Amy Webb’s TED Talk, she mentions how she had made multiple fake male profiles to perform market research that would enable her to create qualitative and quantitative data sets. She created a very popular online profile and eventually found the man she’d been looking for all along. If they ever decide to meet up, someone might be in for a little bit of a surprise. Love is also depersonalized on these sites because everyone who uses them met the same way, through the site. There are no longer unique stories behind “How did you two meet?”. The answer “Online”, has become so popular, it doesn’t have many people surprised. Hearing that people met on an app or dating website is an everyday occurrence.

Although finding love isn’t always easy, the idea behind cybersexism doesn’t do it justice either. “The Internet made misogyny routine and sexual bullying easy, but first it did something else. It gave women, girls and queer people space to speak to eachother without limits, across borders, sharing stories and changing out reality”, Laurie Penny mentions. Women throughout the world were spending majority of their time talking to another person without a visual of what the person looked like and eventually led to the feminist revival of the mid-2000s.
With unpassionate sex, untouched love, and new sex partners at the touch of a finger, because of dating applications, long term relationships are no longer common practice. Being without anyone is so normal that people look down on relationships and look up to these sites. If behavior like this continues, it will end family heredity and low population. Which can lead to distinction of our species.
