As someone who found her spouse on a dating app, personally knows at least three other married couples who met on dating apps, and is fairly sure I wouldn’t have met an acceptable partner without the use of that technology, I really don’t think one of the problems is more choice in partners. It’s definitely short-term thinking and related values.
Dating sites, by allowing me to find out quickly who had those incompatible values and weed them out before wasting time on them, while connecting me with a compatible person I never would have met otherwise, directly led to my marriage and child.
