Today I listened to this podcast and felt so very affirmed in my decision to delete my online dating apps. I did so before Christmas, and I've never been happier.

Having bad or (at best) mediocre experiences with online dating was stressful and frustrating, and I felt like I was the only one who was having these experiences. Since joining this sub, however, I've found out that almost every woman here is having the same experience. I deleted my dating apps, and have no plans to use them again, ever. They are a cesspit of NVM who want to pump and dump women. They turn women and what we offer into a cheap consumable for the convenience of men, and they are an utter waste of time for women with even the most minimal standards.

Ladies, these apps turn us into a "swipable" commodity that men consume and discard, and never value. I've decided that it is beneath my dignity to participate, and would rather continue being single than endure the NVM behavior on these apps.

I encourage all FDS women to say "enough is enough" and delete these apps. Your mental health will improve. Enjoy the peace!
