If dating apps are meant to be deleted, why do they ask if I want a lifetime membership?

Asked by MakeItSo1701 (13652points) 1 day ago

“Honey, we’ve been married for 5 years, why do you still have Bumble?”

“I paid $180 for a lifetime! You best believe I will get my money’s worth!”

Imagine dropping $180 on an app, then you meet the love of your life at the bar the next day.

Maybe they expect/encourage their “customers” to only have temporary relationships.

Well it will be end of your life when she finds out.

Makes sense. Dating apps are inherently superficial and shallow. I am a hypocrit because I am on them, but I don’t leave the house.

I joined two free dating sites, on Christmas, and was uncomfortable with the flood of responses. I am taking a break from them as it is making me feel uncomfortable.
I guess the lifetime membership is for those short term dating.

Dating apps want your relationships to fail.
