A few quick thoughts on the article:

  • ~50% having zero interest in ever dating someone from the app is such a huge number, what the hecc. I knew that people used these apps for a lot of reasons, most notably perhaps for validation, but I did not realize that it was half of the population of a dating app
  • Using the app for social connections that are explicitly not dates has always felt weird for me, but also something that feels a lot more reasonable. Bumble even launched a “friends” version for this specific reason.
  • I wonder how poly and lgbtq+ inclusive this survey actually was (currently waiting for it to be indexed on scihub or to get access via researchgate)
  • I’m curious to read more into how they quantified “to cope with negative emotions”. It’s unsurprising to me that this is not a good way to cope, but I’m curious as to what exactly they’re trying to cope with - is it validation or desire issues as stated above or something else? How was it measured?
  • Tinder for entertainment??? this is wild, I want to speak with someone who does this and pick their brain
  • Want to read more from the authors about the predictability of satisfaction as crossed with age, which probably requires me to understand what variables are involved with this regression.

Yeah I was kinda surprised to find out that I don’t have institutional access through either of the universities I have a login for. If you’re going to be keeping an eye out for it anyway would you mind DMing me?

Sure thing!

Kauhuhu ,

Never underestimate the ego feeding machine. I never personally used a dating app but I always love the data about them. It tells so much about who we are as a society and who we are as humans in the natural, animalistic sense. Or in a tldr fashion how we manage our ego and id in the current times.
