https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2019/09/ftc-s...Considering a large part of Match's business model is essentially fraud, I'm not sure how this is going to work.
I haven't used an app in years since I had a very scary experience. I'm much happier now, and I'd advise anyone who wants to safeguard their mental well-being to delete this stuff. The vast majority of guys will never meet a quality partner online.
Sure you might "meet" someone who's 34 and she doesn't want to work or anything, and she expects you to send her money before she even meets up.
Or you can just be a social person in real life. I've had no trouble meeting tons of fantastic people, when I think about it. Everyone I've gone out with since I deleted the apps has been college educated with a great career. I never met a single person who had a decent job online. At most, maybe someone works 10 hours a week at Vons or something, and that's all they can do in their 30s.
Overall, social media in terms of meeting people is not a good idea. There's a near constant anxiety of checking or matches, of seeing if someone's even typing on Snapchat, blah blah blah.
Versus how I live my life, where I give a girl my number and if she's interested she's interested. This is how I've met practically all of my recent partners, and they've all been amazing.

What a horrible idea. Let's imagine someone, Sarah, when Sarah was 19 she got arrested for shoplifting in Arizona. Then she's turned her life around. Then she meets a guy named Brad, who uses this disgusting service to figure out where she's from, and a host of other personal information.
Given dating apps are already used largely for fraud, this is just makes lives easier for scammers. Not only will the average guy never meet someone, but now you can get your identity stolen too!
