Just for your information, I am single but transcended the need for a girlfriend already. But sometimes back after I broke up with my ex in the desire to at least have a more understanding and long-term partner, being on the speedier growth curve, it was difficult to deal with her big ego. I started trying dating apps, and OMG, what have I found, A SCAM,  Big industry is flourishing on distracting people for their lower self-need of sex, only online dating apps account for around 7bn dollar market share. Other being the social media platforms Snapchat etc., all, cuddling apps, where females have shops and you can buy nudes, sexting, live video, and whatnot. I came to know it's a big part of the Internet running alongside the porn industry. I feel terrible after realizing how much destruction of minds have been done already, and it's most of the traffic of the internet. I have seen people posting about using dating apps in this forum, so just thought would warn you about it. Never fall for this gutter trash industry, It's a huge scam, will leave you empty inside. would love to hear differing perspectives too...
