Dating apps r out

Dating apps are not the centre

In fact they’re working against you, especially women of colour. 84% of Tinder users are men, Bumble’s earnings have gone down hugely since its IPO (thereby further increasing their need to make a profit off subscriptions), Hinge is hiding hot people behind a paywall. People are sick of getting lovebombed and ghosted. But we don’t need them—there’s more to life than apps—and people are beginning to seek connections in person again.

leave the dating apps behind

Like someone else said, one of the best, most freeing things is to leave the dating apps behind especially if you struggle with self esteem. I know people who have found amazing relationships from dating apps, but as a whole I believe they have done a great job at commoditizing romance and making interactions transactional; they want you to pay more money to keep swiping until your thumbs hurt. Combine that with the fact that all the major dating apps are owned by either Match Group or Bumble, data privacy concerns, and you now have an industry that treats dating like a mobile gacha game. Dating felt fun and natural for me the minute I left the apps behind. This is just my 2 cents, so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe they work for you, if so, more power to you!

Replace morning phone time with morning radio time

get da NTS app or whatever radio station u fuck with and just put that on in the morning. ya your brain might want stimulation before u can get out of bed but it doesn’t need instagram reels level shit. Just some fresh music is sometimes all u need

Screenless and screenful to do lists

separate your to do list into what does and doesn’t require a screen, and do those lists separately means you aren’t constantly bouncing between a screen and the material world. Bonus points if your screenless list is completed without any music or podcasts or anything at all. You’re hiding your true power level by blocking all your thinking with consumption!! posting a neoluddite rec on pifyi is basically reaction farming I’ve realised but I’m NOT that cynical I promise
