What you learned was a valuable life lesson. I dont know why people use these apps. It is only going to lead to trouble. The odds are against it turning out good.

I think you spelled YMCA wrong but I don't know how is that relevant to the previous part of your comment

Except it’s not all that uncommon at all.

I imagine you’re part of an older generation because if you were in your 20s or early 30s probably half the people you know have met their long term partners on Tinder or similar.

I know tons of people in successful relationships and marriages who met via dating apps. I’m still friends with people I met on dating apps and dated in the past. These sites/apps are just a tool for meeting people. Nothing inherently bad about them, but you still need to be smart, just like any social situation with new people.

I mean, statistically that literally isn't true. Thousands of people use these apps to hook up everyday and the amount of times it goes wrong is a very small percentage. I've used Grindr dozens of times and parted ways with the guys without any conflict at all.

I will need more data to verify the science.
