Because they're awful. Dating apps were better when they were websites you could only access from a desktop computer. Okcupid pre 2014 was peak dating site. Even with all that aside, nothing will ever beat meeting people in person. Apps nowadays are better if you just want to sleep around. Probably also if you live in a big city.

I remember liking OKcupid solely for the million questions because once you answer enough of them, you can just quick peek at your absolute deal breakers and be like "oh god you're a chud, next." Unfortunately I also am criminally terrible at picking up flirting and subtlety so when a girl started talking about a local kink event, I just was like "oh that sounds neat, have fun." Had a girl once just outright say "I'm flirting with you" and I still didn't know what to do. I've since made my peace with never touching a dating app again because they're just awful.

I agree vintage OKC was the least bad option. Loads of text fields so ppl can show off just who they are - very helpful!

I'd probably be content with just "sleeping around", but I can't make a profile interesting enough for anyone to care about me. lol
