Suzy Weiss is a 27-year-old journalist who is bright, thoughtful, and very lonely. She’s also wondering why Tinder and other apps like it have failed members of her generation.
Writing at her older sister Bari’s Substack “Common Sense,” Suzy claims in an article called “Generation Swipe,” that “Tinder promised it would revolutionize romance.” So far, however, it appears to have failed not only her, but her peers as well. And she wonders why.
Part of the problem can be found in the first paragraph, however:
“Every generation thinks they have it the hardest when it comes to finding love, but it’s hard to look at mine and conclude that we don’t have a good case. Never before have young people been having so little sex …”
Perhaps it’s because she and her generation equate sex with love. They’ve bought into the lie that lots of sex means happiness, that women can enjoy carnal pleasures like men, and that this is how to find your soulmate.
My mother’s generation, however, believed that good girls don’t, and while bad girls seem to have all the fun, men want to marry good girls. Trouble is, however, that now lots of men don’t want to get married. And some, notes Weiss, don’t even want to have sex, believe it or not....

Which is what is happening. Not good for our country. Our birth rate decline as a result.
Have to disagree here, if that is her in post #10, I’d hit it like a bug on a Porsche windshield.
It’s hard to find love when it’s all about you.
There is a 6 foot tall, six figure, six pack abs guy for every woman on tinder regardless of how obese she is
So many times I read comments here, especially on weekends, guys who only want an attractive 20 year old. The other day I read one by a guy who could not understand why Price Charles (oops the king) and why he preferred an older woman to young Diana who had serious issues.
Oh well, we’ve all had bad days and have posted some things we wish we hadn’t.
Because it’s an app. What do you expect from a cleverly designed mass of electrons? It’s not a human. Since the beginning of humanity people met their mates through other people- the tribe, church, job, club. Parents arranged for their kids to meet other people.
The app is impersonal. Expecting to meet a life partner through it is unrealistic. Thinking that one can meet a good parent for one’s kids through a computer is stupid.
People don’t talk to people. They avoid interaction by staring at a screen. And then they look for their soulmate on that screen.
Bumble always worked for me.
Strange but true.
My 26 year old daughter found her 27 year old husband, first try. It was his first try too. They have been married 3 years now and have one kid. I don’t remember the dating site but it was a moral one, unlike tinder. These 2 kids were very moral too and it worked. Everybody’s happy. It just cost me a $25,000 wedding but that’s ok. They pay their own bills now.
Actually, it is true about the decline in sex of younger people today, especially men.
Today’s men are either fat, gay, wanker, or pedophiles.
I read the article. Yeah, it sure seems like the young men have had all the testosterone sucked out of them.
Regarding my comment #28, I met my very wonderful and beautiful wife at church. She was sitting in the pew behind mine. Thirty two years, two kids and going strong. There are alternatives to tinder.
You should try to get the name of the website where they met. If it worked for them it might work for a few people on Free Republic.
“He’s handsome
He’s rich, he’ll beat you every night
But only when he’s sober, so you’re alright!’’
Is that in the song’s lyrics too? Lol!
My, how times have changed.
The 1950’s TV show Honeymooners had main character Al
Threatening his wife every week, everybody in the studio laughed, applauded and lit another cigarette.
“To the Moon, Alice!!”
Yup. Those are lyrics from the Broadway production of “Fiddler On The Roof’’ with the late Zero Mostel.
Read later.
The current US fertility rate is 1.6 and falling. At the rate things are collapsing it will be down to 1.0 in no time.
Tinder artificially inflates a woman’s worth in the market. guys swipe right on everything and see what comes back... This makes the women think they have more suitors than they do and they start to get really picky and going for guys that are not in their league. Then they can’t figure out why “guys ghost”... it is almost laughable if it wasn’t becoming a serious problem.
