Almost all women [1,008] surveyed in a new Australian study reported encountering harmful behaviour on dating apps, with many taking their own precautions to stay safe.

Unsolicited explicit messages, attempts to monitor activity, love bombing, negging and gaslighting are common experiences on dating apps, according to the study released on Tuesday by the Minderoo Foundation-funded Behaviour Insights Team (BIT).

Researchers say platforms should do more to prevent systemic risks as the federal government considers a digital duty of care.

Consultation on Labor's proposed digital duty of care closes on Tuesday, with advocates saying it has capacity to curb online abuse.

Actually, my friend dated someone on meth, who ended up getting murdered. His new gf was murdered too.

So, it's even worse than bad lol

Literally, sounds like the standard is so low that all a guy needs to do is show up, and not abuse someone
