Dating apps have made online dating has become as easy as ordering food online, if not easier… One swipe or click and there you have it, a potential partner to fall in love with. The hyper-connectivity that modern tech allows us to swipe through thousands of potential matches often results in disappointment when we show up to the date.
The dating scene has much changed from the days of romantic gestures and blind dates set up through mutual friends. In sadness, it has turned into a platform for quick hook-ups and easy flings without the hassle of doing any effort to get to know the person and find true love. Not even to mention some of the stress and unsafety that comes with meeting up with a stranger in person. You never know if you might sit with the next Tinder Swindler…
Saying this, we have to admit that dating apps are what you make of them. If you are committed and serious in your venture to find love, you will be able to quickly filter through the thousands of users on dating apps who are not there for your same goal as they truly are easy to spot.
Luckily, as more people become tired of not finding the right match they revert to other dating apps that focus on unique matches based on weird preferences.

The platform encourages users to post pictures of food because let’s face it, it’s a great conversation starter and will set the tone and excitement of where to go for your future date. Takeout boxes or homemade, greenery-filled, or fried? You can learn a lot about a person by taking cues from their food and plate composition.
