Dating apps suck because: Everyone treats each other like numbers on dating apps until they actually meet or talk on the phone. Everyone’s inbox on any dating app is full of conversations that simply died out quickly because no one really valued each other yet.I know within seconds of meeting a girl for coffee or a drink, whether I like her vibe. Sometimes literally 1 second, I can tell she’s no fun, and I’m on the hook for 90+ minutes and money spent at the location. The phone, pictures and pre-recorded video don’t show someone’s actual charm, like seeing them live. The Beam – No profiles are visible until you have had a 20 second video chat.
