‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

Were people really using dating apps in college that often? It's pretty easy to meet people when in a hool when you're around a bunch of 18 to 22 year olds all the time

Yes can confirm maybe 80% or more of single male friends were on dating apps. I found my wife on tinder.

I hope you guys are doing okay now. Infidelity is a hard thing to get past.

Guess it depends on the timeline

When I was in college it hadnt really become a main stream thing - it had just about started by my junior or senior year

I honestly can't imagine going through college with all the dating apps around though
