‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

Last time I used Bumble, a few years ago, I think about a third of the profiles I looked at weren't even filled out. Step 1 might be enforcing users to actually fill out a profile.

I got to a point where I just swiped left on anything that wasn't filled out enough. If you can't even be bothered to do that then I don't think you're going to be a good partner.
