Yeah no doubt. Not saying there's no reason to be on the apps in college. I'm just saying there's less and less opportunity for meeting people in person by chance at social events the older you get, and the more your social life includes people from work, married folks, parents, etc.

College is the densest pool of single people with lots of free time you'll ever experience bar none.

I mean, that sucks, but it's not like things are going to get better once you're outside of the conditions mentioned

Then you look for the other person at the party standing there back to the wall looking like a deer in headlights and make friends or at least form a D&D group.

Yeah, absolutely.

thats because its not a dating app at its core, its a make the company money app, you might get a date, but thats not their purpose. This isn't a all capitalism is bad comment, I"m just pointing out the obvious. I dont go into the world not thinking I"m not trying to be manipulated. I understand some people are naive though, even perhaps college students in their "safe" spaces.
