You being unnecessarily aggressive does not intimidate me. I simply didn't appreciate the tone because when you act that way all you're showing is that you can't have a civil discussion.
And I agree that there are no shortcuts to socializing. But this "go out there and date" advice isn't going to help anyone. It's like telling someone living their car "just build a house". It does nothing in regards to helping them figure out how to do that.
And I'm not sure what you're even complaining about regarding dating apps. The date isn't happening in the app. In the end they still have to go out there and date, the dating app simply helps them get to that step. The dating app replaces only the "asking someone out" step, not the actual date itself. It takes a small step out of the whole dating process and you're acting like that's the entire problem. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter if you physically asked someone out or if you matched on Tinder and asked them out, because when it comes to the actual date you still have to put yourself out there. Unless the online dating has warped into something completely different within the last 10 years they still need to learn how to have a conversation, how to pick up cues and find the confidence to make a move. The only thing online dating changes is that people don't need to take a rejection straight to their face and get embarrassed into never trying again.
