Last weekend i was lepak with some friends, you know typical blow water session. Then we talk about dating apps, sharing our experience etc. I do have use dating apps, since i'm single so why not right?

We all know that dating apps works by both party liking each other, you like me then i like you and we matched then we chat then see how far we can go. The apps will blurred those who liked us, in order to see who those people are or more accurately to see if the other person are attractive or no, the apps requires you to subscribe.

One of my friends came out with this theory or whatever you guys called it, if you did not subscribe then chances of you getting likes are quite high if you at least looks average. that is how the apps fish or tricks us to subscribe. And after we subscribed, we got less to no likes. I did subscribe to CMB once, and i noticed my friend here is right. No subscribe, i get like 10 likes with my shit face. But then when i subscribe to see those ladies, our conversation just died not long after even with casual or normal conversation. Even met some scammers on the way, you know those pig butcher scam like we see over the internet and even here in LYN got some people sharing their experience.

Oh yes i did get 1 or 2 dates, but it didn't work out and they just ghosted me. I can see they just suddenly lost interest even though i'm trying to keep the conversation alive, could be because i got a shit face.

So what do you think of this? Is dating apps just focus on making money instead of really helping people to make some friends or get a date? Share your experience as well.

I never tried dating apps, never had, and never will.

The one time I did was through WeChat. But that's all. I'm all about being real.

I fancy real-world communication. And if I like you and you like me, I'll be out in the open to ask to go out sometimes.

Cybersecurity-wise, it's well-known that apps are being sold if it becomes obsolete, or when the corporate becomes bankrupt; this is seen in 23AndMe bankruptcy for their DNA database and customer info. It's the same as how dating apps will be. Besides, you will never know how corrupt some firms are ---- if they are hacked into, they may not even announce it and you will never know if it's leaked out.
