Someone mentioned why dcx seem a little but more gatal lately xD

I do think dating apps play a huge part in the hook-up culture, if not directly. But I mean, it's the internet right. It was happening regardless. An app is somewhat more regulated, we get a peek at the packaging (so to speak) and it's somewhat anonymous but not anonymous at the same time.

On the other hand, I know so many couples who end up getting married from these apps as well. Pros and cons ey. I think the internet severely damaged our social skills collectively tbh. Either that or I can continue to blame the direction of my house for facing the west on a tuesday..

Yup, you can mechanistically find someone and bang them under an hour.
