For people who don’t quite fit the binary “male/female” and “gay/straight” paradigm, most dating apps can be pretty frustrating, if not downright, exclusionary to app users.
Even the apps that include gay dating options for gay singles do so within a very narrow definition of the term. The biggest problem with most dating apps is that they cater pretty exclusively to straight people.
Online dating opens up your world to more than just the same fifty people you see at work or the gym and presents you with a whole world of other possibilities - at least in theory.Ĭoming across fake profiles is not the only thing singles have to consider. The perfect person for you could be living just a few miles away, but if you don’t run in the same circles or have some rom-com style chance interaction at the post office, you might never meet. Despite the many (many) pitfalls, the appeal of online dating or using a dating site is that it gives us the opportunity to meet people we wouldn’t otherwise meet.
