On a dating app, if the person actually puts 30 seconds of effort into making it, you can already see if really basic things align, like if you are compatible on wanting kids, use of vices, intentions, etc. When you meet someone in person, you’d have to ask all of those things, which could lead to a lot of wasted time, or possibly scaring people off because you’re basically interviewing them if you ask all of it too close together.
All of the downsides of dating apps are true in meeting someone in person, as well, I think people just don’t want to accept that 🤷🏻♀️ I feel like the only form of dating that would be better than dating apps would be getting set up by mutual friends, but even that has downsides. Dating in general is sucky, regardless of how you go about it

Dating apps you also have to weed through fake profiles and I get weird disgusting messages from men.
I actually agree and I know a lot of people don’t. I’m a boring straight cis man who happens to be very picky in dating even though I have no right to be. I like to talk a lot before going on dates. I’ve had too many experiences where I met someone before truly knowing them and was immediately turned off on the first date
“Dating in general is sucky” Oh, but how lucky you are if you don’t have autism. The number one reason why starting and keeping relationships is difficult is this. Dating might work if we mask, but eventually it gets exhausting, the mask slips, and the partner notices something is off about us and doesn’t like us anymore.
