#2"according to a leading Brisbane sexual health doctor who “quite frequently” treats patients who have sex with up to 10 people a day."
Ha! So news.com.au must be a Murdoch property then right ... click, click. Yup.

#3The dating scene these days really is awful. If they aren't looking for just sex, then any resemblance of a "serious" relationship is usually fleeting. Everyone is disposable, because there is always someone potentially "better" a swipe away. It's pretty sad, and I feel bad for this younger generation. I wish Tinder never existed.

#4This reads like the "internet scare pieces" that were common "back in the day" (lol), circa the late 90s.
The summary is: People are doing things they used to do in person, only now on the internets, and its bad for some reason.

News.com.au is utter trash. It's Australia's Daily Mail.

#6The gender dynamics are also very interesting. For example the ratio of men to women on many dating sites, the presence of fake profiles (bots), their connection to various sexual services (porn, cam shows, etc.), their pervasiveness (Tinder) in the college demographic. Sociology majors will have something to study for the next hundred years if they want it.

#7So I found this article completely lacking in real information. They could at least misrepresent an inconclusive study or something. This isn't even trying.
It does set the topic for a possibly interesting discussion. In the era of tinder is the dating scene better or worse for your stereotypical HN user (geeky/nerdy). Is there any evidence of a 90/10 rule for promiscuity in humans?

#8i don't see what's so bad about it. you always want the next generation to have what you didn't!

#9Not saying that tinder causes this behavior, that would be like cars being responsible for drunk drivers or guns being responsible for shootings. But I think these pressures encourage the behavior more than necessary. The number of lifetime sexual partners increases the risk of divorce and STDs.

In my anecdotal experience, the dating scene is better. I'm geeky, pale, and balding, but I put up a few flattering photos of myself and I can get a couple dates a week if I put effort into it. I can't imagine pulling that off if I had to rely on real-life social interaction alone.
