Are dating apps getting worse in the Philippines?
In the Philippines, it's the main way to date, but my experience is absolutely brutal.
Lies from the beginning. I don't understand the reason, but lies without having to do so.
Women you can't tell if they're prostis.
Women well past their prime with very high demands.
Ghosting.
Demands like "please be tall", "don't be broke." I comply, but I find it disgusting and transactional to write that in your profile.
Switching to WhatsApp, and they delete you from the app.
Suddenly, they ask you for money on WhatsApp.
Having to deal with catfishing and whether they're trans or biological women.
Being one swipe away from being replaced by someone else.
Dealing with the possibility that the woman you meet might be addicted to swiping on the app.
I also notice that I feel better, happier, with less anxiety if I stop using them and focus on living my life. I'm close to deleting them all, but I don't have any other way to meet women. Maybe I'll hire someone to manage them.
Any advice for navigating the brutality?
