    See it this way: "Love" is commodified through apps like Tinder. The "ghosting" is a systemic problem asociated to the "neoliberalization" (if you will) of social relationships. In other words, an structural problem and not an individual one.

    Dating apps just want to maximize engage and sell you the premium model. A "pay to win" love game. And if you find someone in there, that would mean you are going to stop using their app. They don't want that.

    Yugopnik has a video on this subject, he explains it far far better than me.

    I don't know where you live or your material reality, but social activities are far healthier for meeting new people (from friends to, maybe, SO). Acting classes, book clubs, political activities, political orgs, etc.

    Sorry for my intromission. Have a nice day and I send you a virtual hug, comrade.

      Oh I'm well aware of all this shit. After a year or so of being on these apps, I've learned some things and I have had chances to talk to women. And cute non-binary people. It's been painful and difficult but overall I have come out knowing more than I did.
