Apps promised to revolutionize dating. But for women they’re mostly terrible | Nancy Jo Sales

I believe online dating has made single women overall less happy, less likely to find a long-term partner, and more at risk of sexual violence

I'm not exactly sure when I decided that dating apps were not for me. Maybe it was the time I went on a date with a guy who tried to recite the entire script of the 1988 horror movie Child's Play (And then Chucky says, Wanna play?'"). Or maybe it was when I was on a date with a guy who grabbed my crotch under the table not 10 minutes after I'd sat down. But by the time I was ready to permanently delete these apps, I was also hooked: hooked on platforms meticulously designed to be addictive - as well as, I would argue, to deliver up women's bodies to men.
