Is there any actual benefit to the "swipe culture" in dating?

Where people are asked to make a decision on whether they'd date someone based only on their photo...

  • Maybe it opens up singles gathering places from the shallow people since they are at home swiping?

  • Not sure.  Just trying to find a possible something.   Maybe it would a benefit since you aren't getting hit on for one night stands if that's not your thing.
    I just know these things exist but that's it.

    Most of them are that way now. I've never been on Tinder, which I understand is what started it and is mostly hookups, but even the sites designed for relationships are that way. I was looking at one for single parents and it does it too. :/

  • Oh I meant like real life singles bars might be freed up.   Not internet places.  I never got to involved with dating sites.  I couldn't shake the feeling of being a pushy creeper on them.  I never knew how to break the ice properly.

    They all seem to do that now. It's bizarre.

    Easier for women to practice sex selection (from a Darwinian perspective).
