The dating apps have honestly ruined the appeal of getting into a relationship for me. I would like to get into a relationship with someone since I have never been in one and i'm still a virgin, but at 21, most of the people my age who are on those dating apps are only those who are after a short fling. I feel like there's no other alternative. Meeting someone at a bar/cub is out of the option for me since I don't drink alcohol and i'm an introvert. It's frustrating, because I want a relationship with real substance, I don't just want to swipe right on a dating app and then get dumped by a girl a couple of months later. I was just thinking of this the other day. So many young adults rely on dating apps and its made meeting people in person even more of a pain in the ass. With the pandemic starting to come to an end hopefully more people will become desperate to socialize in person. I can see what you mean in regards to the pandemic, but to be honest, I feel as though the dating scene at it is currently is a lose/lose scenario all round. Even if you do happen to find someone on a dating app and you both decide to go on a first date, its either going to be awkward or there just won't be that romantic spark. First dates especially are very rigid because you're both anxious about the situation and you can't exactly be yourself because you've got to introduce yourself to someone who you've never met. You don't get to see who the 'real person' is. The trouble is, because people have become so reliant on social media and screen technology in general, people (particularly young adults) are losing the ability to effectively communicate face-to-face with one another. I wouldn't even consider starting up a conversation with a random girl around my age who I happen to see while out and about. In today's PC culture, doing so will likely get you labelled a "creep" and then the encounter could easily be posted all over social media. Maybe I should just stay single, it sounds easier.

I feel like Corona f'd up dating. I extremely miss university girls/women, some of my most amazing mems come from my days as a casual at university linked to 2016-2018.

With the pandemic starting to come to an end hopefully more people will become desperate to socialize in person. Even before the pandemic, the apps had almost replaced the bar as a means of mixing and mingling. However, now the apps are the ONLY options since nearly all other social outlets have been shut down. Like them or not, the apps are the future of dating, at least for the next few years most likely.

Honestly, dating culture has been absolutely toxic since 2014.

I don't think bars or most current apps are go to places for quality socializing or dating, regardless of someone's orientation or how hard it is find to meet people imo. The best place to meet people are social settings or meet up events etc Apps were losing popularity a bit before corona virus, hook up culture will self-destruct at some points, the future of dating and apps will natural advance with new technology and consider that there should be a stronger division for actual dating and pure sexual encounters and ways to reduce the problems people complain about today with them.

Honestly, dating culture has been absolutely toxic since 2014. Thats true to a great degree. I find that pretentious and materialistic core 2010s vibe and attitude is kind of less than it was just a couple years ago. But yeah you could sense that attitude in a few people generally speaking on social media/dating apps. I find that we are in a slighly less toxic environment now due to mid 2010s culture being a bit more dated, and the cornona virus holding people back from being like that to some extent.
