Since Tinder, "Wipe and Way" is no longer just a synonym for kitchen towels, "Wipe and Way" has now become a lifestyle. A very entertaining, probably true, but according to a new study probably also a tricky one. The dating platform Lovoo interviewed fifty online dating users about their experiences with dating apps in one-hour interviews and found a "perfect match" for almost everyone in at least one point. In addition to longing for a partner, most had one thing in common: they were exhausted.
Dating apps and online dating feel like jobs
In the interviews, some said that online dating was as stressful as the job. Or worse, like an ongoing application process and the feeling of having to stand up to the competition. The result: Photoshooted pictures, cleaned CVs and in the end the thought that maybe "not quite right" because the woman or the man on the profile is actually no longer yourself. In addition, there is the feeling of having failed because in the end you didn't fall in love as easily as the advertising had led you to believe.
And now? No more online dating?
Neeeeiiiiin, that's not a solution. As you can see from the survey, the dating platforms also learn. And let's be honest: Finding a partner is just a bit exhausting. Even in real life: hanging out in the disco every weekend and addressing potential candidates doesn't sound much more relaxed.
Online-Dater, relax!
The solution, according to Lovoo, is the right amount of fun and serious. Most dating users do not want to come out on hell get the one with level for life, nor do they just want to be a pastime. We think they are right. And that's why all online daters should relax a bit. Perhaps the prince rides past on his virtual steed. Maybe not. Why should the virtual courtship be simpler than the real one? And maybe you just have to straighten out a few things. Is it really bad if most people wipe me off or don't write to me? Nonsense! A lot of people walk past me on the subway, without thinking they are the women of their lives. It's not an insult, it's just life. And that's just not a pony farm in the online version.
