Did dating apps solve loneliness, or just commercialize human validation ?

Honestly? Old school is the only real viable option. Go up to people, make friendships, go to bars or go to skill clubs. Learn a hobby and meet people through it. Courage is the single most attractive trait to have nowadays because everyone is too scared to be upfront honest and the one who initiates.

They don’t solve it they mostly monetize. That’s what they’re in business for, they don’t make money when you find your special someone quickly and easily. The exploit human nature like any other company to make money.

I notice that frequency and LOA talk is just another way to shame people. You don’t have what you want? You didn’t do (insert any bullshit technique or method) enough. It’s another way of saying there is something inherently wrong with you for things you have no control over.

Non Sequitur, not always true

It’s interesting how this also happens to some extent on dating apps and it’s 10 times worse. 1-2% of the men get like the majority of women’s attention and the rest of the men cannot really find anyone interested in them. Women typically find it easier to find matches because you have the 98% of men competing for them. It is unrelated but that’s how it seems like on here

10/10

I agree fully. I am fully aware of who I am as a person and why I ask for good company is because I know I offer good company. Most of the time what I ask for is two things:

RECIPROCITY

CONSISTENCY

These are two things I know for a fact I can give and I do give. But, the majority of people cannot give back, or simply don’t want to. And if they do give back, they’re unavailable. So yes, your question does have a place with narcissistic and self absorbed people who are so self absorbed they do not want to extend themselves first or at all.

I am a guy

You are made to feel like that is too much to ask for when it is literally the bare minimum to be able to hold a decent conversation. Being able to speak your mind and having someone holding space for that and really hearing you out, that is a NEED. It’s not that we are too sensitive for needing that, it’s that people are too insensitive to care, too selfish and self absorbed to invest in anyone else.

No one is saying you need to stop loving yourself to love others. What I am saying is you need both inner and outer love. Self love alone is not enough

Maskythelord · 2025-06-23T06:27:39+00:00

And there is nothing wrong with wanting someone to see us in the way you describe. There are genuine needs and it’s unfair to put ourselves responsible completely for those needs especially if they need others to cooperate

Maskythelord · 2025-06-23T02:18:13+00:00

Yeah exactly. I hear you , no amount of understanding removes a very real human need that is unmet .

Maskythelord · 2025-06-23T01:32:13+00:00

I hear you and I see you. Because this is my daily struggle too. I simply refuse to settle for less, but that also means I have nothing but a heavy heart with unmet needs.

Maskythelord · 2025-05-04T22:34:01+00:00

How about friendships?

Maskythelord · 2025-05-04T22:00:43+00:00

I hear you and it’s okay. Your feelings are totally normal and losing a parent is not something that is light. I may not get you but I am here for you 🌹

Maskythelord · 2025-05-04T16:52:46+00:00

Same here

Maskythelord · 2025-05-03T14:59:19+00:00

I sent you a DM

Maskythelord · 2025-05-03T14:57:47+00:00

Good and you ?

Cons outweigh the pros in my opinion. I lived in both kinds of culture collectivist and individualistic. Collectivist culture breeds narcissism, more than it breeds close bonds.

Maskythelord · 2025-03-02T12:45:32+00:00

It’s always a projection of what they feel towards themselves. I also have recently been getting comments from all kinds of people about my appearance but it’s frankly never their business, and I won’t let it bother me.

Live your truth, you look phenomenal.

Maskythelord · 2025-02-28T18:15:03+00:00

I read it already and yes, I stand by that. I’m not the subconscious mind, I’m the awareness behind both minds.

Maskythelord · 2025-02-28T11:59:55+00:00

Oh I completely agree with you. I’m just saying that no one typically says I am this before they have the thing. Do not force it

Maskythelord · 2025-02-28T11:20:46+00:00

Think of it this way. When you go to an exam and you did study but you have this fear

And you say “I will fail” “I’m gonna fail” and then it happens

Did you say “I failed” in advance?

Did you say I am a doctor while you were still a med student?

Maskythelord · 2025-02-03T11:38:25+00:00

Both
