The only experience I've ever had that rivals the intense soulsucking of dating apps was applying for work as a fresh highschool graduate during a recession.
Just for context: I'm actually decently eligible by the traditional metrics... nice job, nice place, nice face. Shit still sucks even with tailwinds at your back. I admire anyone with the fortitude to stick to these apps because they tore my ass down and then some!
My takeaway was simple: life's too short to waste waiting for someone else to complete you. I uninstalled those apps and have been happily single ever since ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
