How people relate to each other changes as the use of social networks intensifies. It is common to hear stories of people who met on the internet, fell in love, and now in a relationship. How superficial is a relationship that starts this way? That’s what Cris Galera, a sologamic influencer criticizes dating apps for curvating superficial relationships.

Galera believes dating apps influence rare relationships and the platforms only demonstrates how people are interested for shallow reasons.

“You can’t get to know someone like that. We see people falling in love very quickly because everything is so perfect through cell phone screens. When they start to live together, people show who they are. That’s why relationships don’t last long, and relationships are more and more superficial,” she explains. 

“There, people choose you through photos. They don’t know anything about you, and they believe what the picture shows. It shouldn’t be like this; people are good. But, on the internet, we only show what we want,” she says—more than their bodies. 

This means that the superficiality of the tool brings reflections on both men and women. Sologamic, the influencer, went viral a few years ago after marrying herself. Claiming not to find a person particular enough, Cris chose to marry alone to fulfill the dream of marriage without needing someone. “I was always enough, and I was enough for me. So before loving someone, I love myself,” explains the model.

Which dating apps are college students using the most?

First-Date Hookup

What's the goal when using a dating app?

Thoughts on the Survey

It surprises us at Fromgirltogirl how many college students prefer to use Tinder because that particular dating app is for hook ups for the most part. We assumed there would be more of a balance of hook-up culture and wanting a monogamous relationship but the survey indicates less people are looking for just hook ups. A finding that did not surprise us were the number of men using dating apps and not considering it as cheating while in a relationship. We feel this is accurate because men define cheating differently than women. We have even heard men define a need for sexual interactions with multiple partners while in a relationship as something fun to do – not thinking how it could emotionally or physically harm a significant other. As for women saying they would never hook-up on a first date, we believe that is based on not wanting to be seen as too promiscuous versus not having the thought to hook-up on a first date.

A physically attractive person that one enjoys the company of is hard to resist. It is a temptation from the start because it’s desire. Just because a woman says she would never hook-up on a first date, it doesn’t mean she wouldn’t if the opportunity came into fruition. However, we do feel more men in comparison to women would jump at the chance to hook-up on a first date. More shockingly, we are shocked that 91% of college students are not using dating apps for hook-ups. Are students looking for steady dating but lost hope in face-to-face first introductions? It is definitely something to look more into. Chat with Fromgirltogirl on Facebook and Twitter to let us know what works and doesn’t work for you when using dating apps. What is your primary reason for using dating apps? We would love to hear from you.
