29 Single Women Criticize the Online Dating Scene, Pointing Out the Slippery Slopes of Modern Romance

Dating in the movies is simple. First, you walk a cute, slightly untrained dog in your local park. Next, you buy a hot coffee at a stand (ideally near a heavily trafficked spot). And when your single-handed grip on the dog's leash starts to tighten and your coffee starts to fumble, a tall strapping man will appear as if by magic, looping his arm around your waist, taming your excitable pooch, and saving your morning brew. 

That's the meet-cute. 

But in real life, there's nothing cute about meeting anyone in a romantic setting. These days, all women want is a REAL connection with someone they're romantically interested in, so why is it so hard to find the right match? Online dating has efficiently taken out the 'cute' out of meetings, creating a sterile beauty contest approach to love as if it's as simple as swiping right. 

Keep scrolling to read other critiques of the modern dating scene, straight from the single women slogging through the shallows of the dating pool.
