If that were true then the number one dating app would be Bumble because it only lets the women message. I don’t think anyone is being “overwhelmed” by the amount of messages they receive. No one I’ve spoken to has ever said anything like that.

People just aren’t wired to handle uncomfortable self truths. We haven’t figured out a way to get around it yet as a society.

Can I ask how old you are?

I don’t agree with this. They are a stream-lined method to meet other people who are interested in making new contacts without going out of their comfort zone. I also may be biased since I met my s/o on Bumble but we are 6 years in and this is the healthiest most loving relationship I’ve ever been in. I know my experience is most likely the exception rather than the norm YMMV

Also I don’t know how going on a few dates with someone is “jumping right to romance”
