‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

I remember people would lie about how they met because they didn't want to say they met online. Oh how the times have been-a-changing

Depending on the context, my partner and I don't like sharing that we met on an app either.

The only app that people have been hesitant to tell me they met is PoF. Although I've never met anyone who's volunteered that they met on fetlife and you know, statistically speaking, some people must have.

Well, I like to say me and my partner met online, then add it was actually a music sharing site. If I decide to troll a little, I change the last part to "a BDSM forum".

If y'all met at a brothel or while at the Jan 6th rally, I'd get it. I don't get it for most other things though.
