She’s right. You could put 10,000 hours into dating and end up worse off by being traumatized. But if you put 10,000 hours into anything else - cooking, reading, school, a career, working out etc. you’ll be better off than when you started.

Brittany :
The language of the show, "You are now single and vulnerable" is so insidious.

Rachel 🩷 :
The producers of love island came out and said they actually had trouble finding male contestants lol not because men weren’t signing up but because of their behaviours and morals

For women on dating apps, there isn’t even the illusion of endless options. There are almost no options. When I was on the apps, I could scroll through the entire stack and swipe right on maybe 3 guys. There are no options on apps.

It’s the PHONES! It’s social media. Even if you aren’t on dating apps, social media has become default dating apps so you’re forced to play a game.

Erica Ifill :
I think dating apps ruined relationships by giving ppl the veneer of continuous options, of being more attractive than they really are, and gamified relationships so they can’t nurture relationships

Taller_than_thou :
I stopped calling them situationships - it’s a relationship even if it’s a short one. People need to stop letting each other off the hook, with no sense of responsibility.

A lot of the current love island cast are in the age bracket where quarantine would have overlapped with their high school/college developmental years

I hate how we always center men in conversations about the loneliness epidemic

merry :
what's crazy is that almost none of the islanders have ever had real relationships. most said that they've never really dated or been in love. they have NO experience making deep romantic connections with others

Dating, as we know it right now, is so new as a concept and relied so heavily on gender norms for success. It was bound to evolve for good or for bad 👀

everyone is like playing “the game,” and it makes dating so hard. like i am made for deep, meaningful connections/relationships, and it’s like impossible to find that right now

The younger generation isn’t being socialized properly period. Phones are ruining it. They’re socializing through a screen. Totally different than in person irl.

I think we also have to acknowledge that we are living in a time where there aren’t many benefits to being with man due to a number of things, but one big one is women’s autonomy.
