I don't know if online dating is better now. Yes there are a lot more people on the apps but the apps have the worst business model and people looking for partners are often window shopping, have outrageous standards, and or are very "transactional".

I'm sure if you're very attractive or wealthy it can work out or if you're a woman (but then you get bombarded with literally every dude). But it's kinda tough for most dudes.

I do recognize that dating IRL can be like that too but I feel like dating apps can exacerbate the negative aspects of finding a partner.

I've met some people through online dating but the people I've met organically have generally been a better connection. Also some people do not look like their photo or act very different from their texting persona.
